Paris Hilton illegally wears a bikini in Dubai

paris hilton 170609
Paris Hilton hasn’t been in trouble with the US cops recently, but she has been angering some overseas. Officials in Dubai are not pleased with Paris, who is in the city filming another season of her My New BFF reality show, which will broadcast around the Middle East. Although she is in the United Arab Emirates, where wearing revealing clothes or acting provocative is strictly against the law, she donned a bikini anyway and proceeded to prance around for pictures. The best part is that producers of her show warned her that she should be careful about how she conducts herself while on the trip.

Paris Hilton has been given a major dressing down for, er, dressing down.

TV producers had banned the airhead heiress from wearing a bikini while she is in Dubai shooting the third series of My New BFF.

But within hours she was posing for photos in a skimpy twopiece.

Brilliant. Our source says: “Paris had made a big public speech, saying how much she loved the Middle East and respected its culture. But the following day she was prancing around on the beach in her bikini and posing provocatively.

“Bosses warned her Western tourists have been jailed for flouting the rules.”

[from The Mirror]

It would be easy to write off the bikini-wearing to ignorance, but the article says that her producers warned her about the rules, and she actively refused to abide by cultural standards. Her hypocrisy is furthered by the fact that the day before, she had claimed that she just “wanted to respect everyone.”

Paris Hilton said she studied the culture of Dubai and promised the Middle East version of her reality show will steer clear of the drinking and the swearing it had in Los Angeles and London.

The remarks came as Hilton, 28, launched the Middle East edition of her “Paris Hilton’s My New BFF” series in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. BFF stands for best friends forever.

“I wanted to know everything about this place first because I wanted to make sure everything was OK,” the hotel heiress was quoted as saying by the National newspaper Thursday. “I just want to respect everyone here.”

The fame-loving Hilton promised to dress conservatively and said her Dubai-based MTV series will be open to women only. There will be no finger pointing and laughing at anybody, the show’s producers said.

“I expect to learn a lot here. It’s a completely different world,” Hilton said.

Twenty-two contestants will try their best to become Hilton’s new BFF in the 20 days she will spend in the Emirates. No air date has yet been set for the show.

When not filming her reality show, intended for broadcast throughout the Arab region, Hilton will explore the desert, go camel riding, get a henna tattoo and go skiing on Dubai’s famed artificial ski slope inside a shopping mall.

I love that it says Paris “studied” the culture of The United Arab Emirates. Please, the girl has never picked up a book in her life. As the article says, Paris’ idea of experiencing the culture is going skiing on an indoor slope.

Paris’ actions have, once again, simply proved the extent of her self-centered attitude and inability to understand when it’s not all about her. Even after publicly stating that she is aware of the differences in cultural attitudes in the United States and Dubai, she goes off and blatantly disregards them. You have to wonder what goes through her head at times like this. Does she think that she is simply above the law, or does an idea pop into her head, and then she goes and does it with out any concept of the consequences? I’m guessing it’s the former – actually, I’m not even sure Paris knows the meaning of “consequences.” After all, she somehow thought it was a good idea to make sexy time with Cristiano Ronaldo.

    I sure wish they kane her. Do they do that there? Perhaps what shocks me the most is that her horrible show is on for another season. What the hell is wrong with people? Why are people still watching her retarded show?

  2. Leni says:

    Unfortunately UAE will decide that she is not worth an international incident over. Once again she will get away with being a facile excuse for a cultured, respectful being.

    I didn’t know Cristiano had a bent weenie!

  4. geronimo says:

    Nothing goes through her head is what goes through her head since there’s nothing in her head for anything to go through it. A barren sparkly pink wasteground from ear to ear. Le sigh.

    Zoe, if you’re still within thumping distance of her, do it now. For all of us.

  5. expat says:

    I’m curious as to whether she was filming for the show or not during this. I can understand the trouble if she wore it during filming so that her show remains conservative enough and plays by the rules of the filming contract, but if this was time off from filming the show? I don’t know…
    I question it because I’m a western expat living in Dubai & while many of the expats who live here are respectful to the culture there are still plenty who aren’t & you rarely hear of anyone getting in trouble for they way they dress or act (not that that makes it OK). One pieces on the beach? Forget it. Teeny bikinis & speedos abound. I’ve seen plenty of women (& not only western women) in even the malls here dress as scantily as Paris on any given day.
    Paris should certainly tread more carefully than most people here given that she’s a public figure of sorts & it is very important that she respect the laws & culture, but outside of shooting I don’t think she should be punished for doing the same things just about everyone else does here.

  6. Jazz says:

    Dubai can keep her!!

  7. Llana says:

    I think the media is exaggerating. I live in Dubai and you are allowed to wear a bikini… I did just yesterday, lol. Depends where I guess, but i’m guessing she was at the beach?
    And in terms of the way you dress, it REALLY isn’t as strict as the media makes it out to be. Tbh, it actually isn’t strict at all. I dress however I want!
    Dubai tries to be all ‘western’ and is full of expats, so I really doubt they actually had a problem with it. It’s just more publicity for them. 😛

  8. wif says:

    Thanks for the inside perspective there, expat. Interesting.

    I don’t know that I trust the producers here. What went through my mind is that perhaps they had her in the bikini, to get her arrested and make for great TV. But I’m cynical.

  9. expat says:

    HAH! Now that would make for some good TV! What I’m thinking is most likely is simply that it’s in her contract to not wear bikinis or other revealing clothing for scenes in her show (& I do vaguely remember hearing rumors to that effect before she even got here, shortly after it was announced it was going to be filmed here). Which is totally reasonable & not at all surprising.
    It is not illegal to wear bikinis here as far as I have been made aware, as long as you are in suitable locations like pools & beaches.
    I think it’s the just the media blowing things out of proportion, or even Paris’ people, just to keep her in the news.

  10. Tia C says:

    So what? I’m no fan of Paris, but I say good for her for flouting the misogynistic middle eastern BS.

  11. DD says:

    As much as I hate Paris I can’t say I care too much about this. The hypocrisy from the middle east coming to the west is astounding… they don’t want to conform, why should she.

  12. Cinderella says:

    Too bad they don’t enforce the bikini rule. It would have been a happy time to see her scrawny butt get locked up again.

  13. who cares says:

    I am continuously amazed by people obsessing over what one rich girl does. You people care too much…worry about your own lives maybe. I’ll bet money each and every one of you has your own flaws you could work on.

  14. Maritza says:

    I agree with with Cinderella, that would’ve been fun to see.

  15. Neelyo says:

    Man she really is ugly and it’s only going to get worse.

    And I can’t wait.

  16. Bass says:

    Her ‘Scrawny butt’? If you look at her from the side she doesn’t even have a butt, and from the back, something is sagging there but it doesn’t look like a butt. At least Twiggy didn’t sag.

  17. LEE says:

    BELOW LENI STATES THAT PARIS WILL “ONCE AGAIN GET AWAY WITH BEING A “FACILE” CULTURED EXCUSE CLTURED, RESPECTFUL BEING”. WOULDN’D “FECAL” HAVE BEEN A BETTER ADJECTIVE ????

  18. dubdub2000 says:

    Oh, please, please, please, please! Let them arrest her ass. THEN she’ll actually have something to complain about and she’ll have some life experience of something OTHER than have her lame ass pampered to continuously!

  19. Zoe (The Other One) says:

    Meh, s’not illegal to wear a bikini here – what a lot of tosh.

    She is an annoying cow but she’s not breaking any laws wearing a bikini.

    Geronimo – I’m gonna pop upstairs tonight and give her a battering anyway – imagine if Perez was here too…two birds with one stone.

  20. TaylorB says:

    I am conflicted here, I generally think Paris is a vapid waste of oxygen and her tarting about in a bikini is sort of par for the course in her world, but I can not abide how women in certain areas of the world (and I am not saying Dubai, just a general comment) are treated like chattel (must cover up, can’t leave the house without their husband, etc etc etc, not to mention forced genital mutilation and rapes) and if Paris was pushing those boundaries then so be it. If limits were never tested women in this country wouldn’t have the right to vote, and slavery would still be legal. Not that Paris is some sort of MLK, she is still a foolish girl, and if she wasn’t a ‘Hilton’ she would probably be in jail in one country or another for various nonsense she has pulled. But just because in a culture, any culture, it is accepted to treat women or anyone else like second class people, boss them about, tell them how to dress, etc, doesn’t make it right.

  21. she'saparasiticwhore says:

    She makes my skin crawl. Paris has a face only a mother could love and only a father’s wallet could botox. She makes a slug look cute.

  22. Labrador says:

    Why would anyone think that is pretty? It is too bad there is no life-guard on duty in that gene pool.

  23. rosa lee says:

    Everyone is jealous of her, don’t we all dream of being born to such great wealth

  24. fizXgirl314 says:

    i’m sorry rosa lee but you are way off… there are such things as emotional, spiritual, intellectual, cultural and etc etc wealth… which can truly enrich a person’s life beyond monetary gain… as trite as it may sound to you… and you can’t buy that shit with money either…

  25. princess pee says:

    I wish the bikini was illegal and they would arrest her. Then they would just send her home to avoid an international incident… but it would scare a little respect into her, maybe.

    The other thing i wish? That her producers would tell her about how BEST means ONE good thing, and that the third F in BFF stands for FOREVER. Ergo, there should never have been THREE of these crap shows.

  26. princess pee says:

    @ fizXgirl314: Whoa nelly. Nuke them? That’s your constructive solution? God forbid a country has different standards than you do…
    The UAE is not the same as Iran, which is not the same as Iraq, which is not the same as Afghanistan, etc etc. Before you go advocating genocide, maybe you should look into the actual culture you are hoping to destroy.

  27. I love Paris, and she can do no wrong as far as I’m concerned! We need vapid, loose-moraled carefree bimbos like her to remind us how unimportant Hollywood and the entertainment industry really is.

  28. Denise says:

    Who really cares??????

  29. Denise says:

    Who really cares?????

  30. TaylorB says:

    Hold the phone… I personally disagree very strongly with subjugation of women, or anyone for that matter, but to ‘nuke’ them to prove a point is wrong on so many levels. I understand your anger and frustration, but take a step back and think about that comment for a moment, ‘nuking’ them would kill all of those women that you claim to be standing up for. Cooler heads…

  31. connie says:

    not only does paris have a lack of concern or respect for her own culture, but others around the world. if she did she would cease to be in the spotlight entirely!

  32. Mikee says:

    Bunch of people verrrry jealouse of Paris.
    I like her.
    She certainly doesn’t try to be one of the crowd.

  33. fizXgirl314 says:

    uhhh ok relax, you don’t really think i was serious about nuking them for paris hilton do you?

    in either case.. why are we not more outraged (as a gender) for women’s plight? women have been abused far longer and far worse than any nationality, race, creed, color, culture or religion… ever since the dawn of man pretty much. an abuse that is still pretty widespread today.

    i just think that we as women could show more outrage at the insane law, than we are showing for paris hilton…

    process this scenerio if you will: what if they said you couldn’t wear a bikini if you were black? do you think we’d be making excuses for differences in culture?

  34. BlueSkies says:

    Who Cares, get a grip. Of course everyone needs to work on flaws but this is a celeb gossip site, genuis.

    Why do some people always claim envy and jealousy of the bloggers here? Over money? Just because someone comes from wealth does not make others jealous. Now if Paris was truly beautiful with a pedigreed lineage, then maybe so. She has a chicken like face and questionable family lines. Trust, no one is jealous.

  35. the original kate says:

    i don’t care what she wears in dubai as long as she stays there.

  36. Zoe (The Other One) says:

    @ fizXgirl314 – I guess your nuking post has been deleted…but don’t nuke me please!!! I am lovely innit!

    And, I get what you’re saying about the law being insane (not that it is the law) but as far as I see it – I live in a country which has a different religion, different laws and another culture than my own…whether I agree with any of these things or not, I have made my own choice to live here and as such I speak, read and write the language (badly) and do my best to abide by their customs, culture and laws…they aren’t my beliefs but I’m here and while I am I’m going to do what I can to stay!

    The simple answer is – if you (not YOU personally – people in general) don’t like the culture, customs and religion then don’t live here. Go home.

  37. wakeup says:

    RESPECT their culture? Paris needs a traveling tutor. They respect their camels more than their women/property.

  38. Zoe (The Other One) says:

    ‘They respect their camels more than their women’

    And this wide sweeping generalisation comes from where? What you’ve seen in films and read in the newspapers?

    You are way off – I’ll defend the country I live in against nonsense statements like this because it’s this sort of ignorant comment that really really gets my blood boiling. Try whizzing that comment round into something about african americans – hmmm, thought not, but it’s OK to be racist and generalise about Arabs because????

  39. wakeup says:

    BTW, Old man Hilton is giving away 97% of the wealth,(reportedly) as a reaction to her lifestyle. She won’t inhererit all THAT much.

    She is attractive, yet, in a slutty, STD, way…

  40. THE-JCB says:

    Cristiano is God on the pitch, “that means field” Paris Hilton is hot. She can do whatever the hell she wants! Her dumbass gets locked up in another country, oh well. No sweat off my ______!

  41. Vincent says:

    I love Paris. She is so pretty. Don’t buy her airhead act.

  42. John says:

    Paris Hilton is behaving like an Ugly American. She should at least be jailed for a week or more for flouting the rules of the country she is in, then deported.

  43. fizXgirl314 says:

    Zoe, it’s true. maybe not in Dubai because they need the tourist dollars… but in afghanistan, women are beaten and jailed for leaving their homes without an escort… even if they get raped in the process… and i don’t think they beat and rape their camels… so yeah…

  44. Billy says:

    She has no fears…apparently

  45. Vlay says:

    World Swimwear had a fashion show in Qatar, and you can wear bikinis in the Middle East at the resorts. Also, at private beaches! So, I think this report may be false!

  46. jz says:

    Really tired of hearing about this gal. I have no more sympathy for her. Her actions speak so loudly, I cannot hear her words. Guess she’ll have to be thrown in jail again to get her to stop… though it will only be momentarily. I’ll tell you this, I’ll never defend her or her actions again. She is completely an anti-social personality. She has no empathy or respect for anyone but herself. Bygones!

  47. SG says:

    Personally I think Paris is a true moron. All she wants is the publicity.
    If the rules state that women should be covered properly because of their beliefs then it should be done. As a celebrity, Paris should be setting an example, not as a BAD girl or a true moron, but as a human being and a young lady. Oh yeh, I’m talking about a spoiled rich kid aren’t I.

  48. Richard says:

    There is NOTHING *wrong* with Paris choosing to wear a bikini in Dubai. What is *wrong* is the barbaric mediaeval perversion that is Islamic law, and which says that women are not fit to choose what they want to wear.

    We need to stop pandering to these bigots, and tell them to get with the 20th century.

    Richard

  49. Margie says:

    I am sick and tired of hearing about this no talent, brainless excuse for a celebrity.
    As far as I am concerned, her only claim to fame is blatent stupidity and a hardworking well paid publicity agent

    I wish she would just ride into the sunset and disappear. She serves no useful purpose that I am aware of.

  50. CM says:

    “You have to wonder what goes through her head at times like this.”

    I know what goes through her head. Nothing.

  51. Amy S says:

    Women should be allowed to wear whatever they want. Whether in Dubai or NYC. I’m glad she if pushing the envelope in Dubai – maybe it will give women more freedom & rights.

  52. LeLe says:

    Why do you people have to hate so much? Why not try worryN about your own pathetic lives and let Paris and everyone else live thier own??
    I mean … REALLY? WoW!!

  53. Joanna says:

    I just do not get what anyone see’s in this women? Truthfully speaking she isn’t that pretty infact she is kind of homely. The headband thing on her is hidious, her nose is too pointy, her eyes aren’t pretty and quite frankly her cheekbones too wide apart, and she looks as if she has had too much plastic surgery. The headbands that she seems to be into these days only adds to how hidious she looks. Paris has no talent, can’t act, can’t sing, and the only thing she has going for her is the fact that her parents name are Hilton and they can buy her anything she wants including fame which in this case is exactly why she has fame. Any other female with her looks and lack of talent honestly would be NO where in Hollywood and most certainly would NOT be considered a star even on the “so called D list”. I get sick of seeing her butt-ugly picture published everywhere and could care less what she does, like I said she has NO talent. I just wish someone in Hollywood would stop taking payoffs and stop giving this pathetic waste free publicity and actually make her get off her lazy butt and work for a living instead of living off Mommy and Daddy.

  54. Trillion says:

    Paris’ mommy and daddy are living off his relatives. The fact is, she’s far removed from the work it took to build that wealth. You can easily see, observing Paris’ horrid taste and ridiculous existence, why people always eventually revolt against royals flaunting and wasting money. When you don’t work to make money, it takes brains and heart to do something positive and useful with it. She has neither.

  55. anukexpat says:

    The stupidity of this clueless, talentless bint should be no surprise to anyone.

  56. tsh85 says:

    She looks like an anorexic crow

  57. Magsy says:

    Why is this goofy bitch always playing dress up? She only looks half way attractive with some hair in her face, once it’s swooped up you get a good look and it ain’t pretty.

  58. Danielle says:

    Actually, Zoe, they do respect their camels more than their women; see Muslim Miss Universe Contest

  60. UAE girl says:

    Not all UAE girls are as easy as Paris looks. She needs to be escorted in Dubai, she obviously can’t look after herself! lol

  61. UAE girl says:

    And one more thing. If she can wear bikinis in Dubai and not get arrested, what are laws even for? Is prostitution in Dubai now legal too???

  62. shaz says:

    im sick of hearing about this mannnn
