NY Daily News: Dubai party's over for Naomi's pal

Yikes. Legendary producer Dallas Austin is in a Dubai prison, where he stands accused of transporting drugs into the Arab country en route to Naomi Campbell's birthday party last month.

Austin has worked with Madonna, Michael Jackson, Brandy, TLC, Aretha Franklin, the Indigo Girls and Boyz II Men. Dubai, which is a member state of the United Arab Emirates, has strict drug policies and a reputation for a stern justice system.

Campbell's birthday party was a three-day extravaganza at the Burj Al Arab hotel, which drew fellow models like Eva Herzigova and Linda Evangelista. Campbell's boyfriend, Dubai oil heir Badr Jafar, rented out a large section of the ultra-expensive hotel. Each day had a theme: "All White," "Hip Hop" and "Brazilian Samba."

It's not likely the supermodel has tried to bring her friend a cake with a file in it or has even bothered to visit. "Naomi doesn't know anything about this," her flack told us. A rep for Austin had no comment.

I hope for his sake that he only had personal use of weed on him. If it's coke he's going to be there for a looooong time. When will people learn. These countries don't f*ck around. So sad.

I was just going to mention that.

Also, don't forget Bridget Jones Edge of Reason. She gets busted do. Then cutie pie gets her out ( Colin Firth)

Anyone dumb enough to smuggle drugs ( if it is his fault) shouldn't even be taken seriously. Whatever.
