Many an A-lister made the trek to Dubai today to celebrate the grand opening of the Atlantis Palm Resort. Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson traveled from London to join Sam's mother Ann Dexter-Jones, while Mischa Barton will show up anywhere there's a red carpet. The eclectic crew, which included Mary-Kate Olsen all draped in white, Gerard Butler, Charlize Theron, and Stuart Townsend, was treated to dinner and an elaborate performance from Kylie Minogue. Only a truly lavish affair would attract so many stars to such a distant place, and it seems like opulent Dubai isn't feeling too pinched by the global credit crisis.
To see more from the party, including Lily Allen, Agyness Deyn, Michael Jordan, and Janet Jackson, just read more.

oh the good life
1*sigh* charlize
2Ooooh, Mischa's dress is purdy!
3Why does MK look like the bride of Frankenstein?
4"Why does MK look like the bride of Frankenstein?"
My thoughts exactly!!
5Love charlize's dress. Very Grecian goddess!
6You know what..if I ever got married I would totally wear what charlize is wearing as my wedding dress. Except.. the slit up the thigh part
7MK looks like shes near death. awful but thats the norm for her.
8mischa and linsay look nice for once. charlize loooks nice as always, cant say the same for MK. she looks near death!
9It looks like everybody can be bought, how sad!
10what is MK wearing? really>??!?!?!? charlize looks fantastic though. interesting mix of folks over there. it's nice to see charlize with her man though. one of the FEW appearances lately.
11I gotta say Misha works the red carpet everytime she's on it
12"Only a truly lavish affair would attract so many stars to such a distant place" ... that, or being paid $$ to be there to attract people to the hotel.
13I can't believe Mischa still gets invited to these types of parties. What has she done lately, other than show up to fancy parties?
14mischa is such a has-been
15Everytime I see the Olsen twins, they remind me of those troll dolls I had when I was a kid.
16Dubai (and most of the Middle Eastern countries) is disgusting in the way they flaunt their wealth. For eg, they keep hosting sport events (and using huge appearance fees to bring the stars in) but no one is ever in the stands
17lindsay looks drugged out
18Only Gerard Butler passes in my book. The rest nothing special.
19MK = scary
20Linds looks ok,dont like the dress,and that fake tan.She always looks better in her pale natural color.Iam glad she is with Samantha,and even more glad that Samanthas family support her so much.She needs to get some weight on although the other girls look more thin that her.Stop the travelling they have toured the world in what 4 days?What MK is wearing?There is a great pic of Lindsay and Samantha smiling broadly at each other when they think the camera is not at them.Love it.One of the rare moments Samantha smiles so openly.Roberth De Niro was there with his wife and i would like to ask,WHEN EXACTLY HE GOT MARRIED?
21i think some fun things could be done with MK's dress. any ideas where to find something similar? i agree that mischa looks great, but do not understand her reasoning for being there. she hasn't been up to much, giving her time to attend events like this at least
22Call me crazy, but I actually like Mary-Kate's outfit.
Gerard looks better than he has in awhile.
23Crisis? What crisis?
24I like MK look. I can only wonder at how much they all got paid to attend a hotel opening! Ah the rich life eh...
25MK likes do look like a ghost
26Mischa looks gorgeous. She can really look beautiful when she makes the effort.
Charlize needs to get her hair highlighted or something. That ponytail just doesn't work.
27MK reminds me of the bride in Tim Burton's movie Corpse Bride
28charlize is gorgeous. i love that she always wears flats. oh to be that tall............. (i'm 5'0).
MK-i think brushing her hair and GETTING IT OUT OF HER FACE would make magic happen.
mischa-pretty dress!!!!!
lilly-looks pretty, but prom pretty.
29ooh and one more thing:
gerard butler looks soooo much hotter when he isn't standing next to MK.
30Pop, did you just say "A-lister" and Lindsay Lohan, samantha Ronson in the same sentence?
delusional
31MK was doing great for a while but I guess she had a weird fashion relapse. Mischa looks smokin,'even though apparently everyone hates her.
32Mary-Kate looks like a ghost...I'm scared!
And Mischa's dress is just beautiful!!! Love it!
33i love Mischa look Lindsy and Charlize look amazing also Janet Jackson outfit is so feminine i really like it but i think the guy holding her hand ruined the look
34lol. Charlize makes the other girls look like such generic trash. She's totally classy and beautiful and makes them look so bad.De Niro and Charlize are too cool to be at the same event with tabloid trash like Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton.
35Kind of tacky that these people are living it up in high style in Dubai (a city built on oil profits) while the stock market is struggling, the auto industry in the U.S. is collapsing, people are still fighting across the Gulf in Iraq, and people are losing their homes. They're partying in the MIddle East??? I'm not saying they should be sitting around at home, but they could spend their time more productively and compassionately. I don't expect much of Lohan or those Olsens, but Charlize? I'm a little surprised.
36mali you're being a little judgmental. This is the biggest, most expensive hotel in the world. Ofcourse it's going to have a grand opening. Just because some people in parts of the world are struggling doesn't mean everyone else has to give the appearance they are too. Got news for you, even when the economy is good in america, there are people starving in africa. Does that mean we americans should never party? No, no one says that. If I were invited to this extravagant opening I sure as hell would show up too. And you know you would too. So get off your high horse.
37Mary Kate looks awful!
38Agyness has the sweetest smile...love that girl.
