Singer Christina Aguilera has been signed to help publicise the Trump International Hotel and Tower, one of Dubai’s largest developments.
The singer will perform on Saturday at a launch party on Donald Trump’s Los Angeles estate.
The Dh2.9 billion (US$789.5m) development features two towers that rise above the Palm’s monorail and central park.
It houses a mix of 378 hotel rooms and suites, 385 flats, 12 exclusive townhouses, 45,000 square feet of retail space and 60,000 square feet of office space.
Aguilera, 26, is the latest celebrity to be enlisted to help to promote Dubai’s developments.
Earlier this month, the singer Enrique Iglesias entertained home buyers at the launch party for Dream Harbour – a Dh1.7bn tower being developed by Desert Dream Real Estate and Investments at Dubai Waterfront.
Pearl Dubai flew 150 investors in its Baccarat Hotel and Residences project to Paris last month for a private concert by Sir Elton John.
Next month, the Australian singer and actress Kylie Minogue is due to launch Nakheel’s Atlantis, the flagship resort on the Palm Jumeirah.
The hotel project is Mr Trump’s first business venture in the UAE.
The building will offer panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf and a range of exclusive leisure facilities, including a private beach and a yacht club.
Trump International Hotel and Tower Dubai is the first joint venture between Nakheel and The Trump Organisation. Construction began earlier this year and is due for completion in May 2011.
Price records were broken within hours of the properties going on sale when a buyer offered $3,000 per square foot, or close to $30m, for one of the development’s penthouses, more than twice the going rate of the city’s most expensive properties.
Other properties in the development have sold for an average of $2,450 per square foot.

i heard this on www.nme.com and i thought WHY
An American teenager has dropped out of high school in order to become an expert at the video game Guitar Hero.
Blake Peebles, 16, quit his sophomore year at North Raleigh Christian Academy to concentrate on perfecting his game, which so far has seen him win prizes from gift certificates to gaming equipment and chicken sandwiches.
The Raleigh, North Carolina native’s parents hired a tutor and allowed their son to drop out of school after he wore them down with his complaints.
"We couldn't take the complaining anymore. He always told me that he thought school was a waste of time," his mother Hunter told The News & Observer.
Peebles hopes to get to professional-level gaming, which can see competitors earn from $25,000 to $80,000 per year, although the figure is usually at the lower end and sponsorship opportunities are rare for competitors who coming in any lower than first place.

Dooney and Bourke Nubuk collection
this is the bag i had to get for my sister. she actually has the larger version, but it's great for the fall all the same. the nubuk collection has some great colors just begging for a fall carry.
My birthday was 5 days ago but I'm not telling you how oldd I am. YOu know I had alot of fun and was dinking alot alot alot. HA.
New Dooney and Bourke Patent collection
i was never a big patent fan, but i love this collection because of the color. it's so strong and saturated...how can you go wrong. the patent bags i saw at the sample sale weren't produced and that's a bummer.
Mood: Loved Writing: dedicated to secret
You
Falling in love with you,
No turning back,
Finally I feel
Like my life is on track.
Your love affects me
Like nothing I've seen,
Nothing will part us,
Let nothing between.
With you everything
Just falls into place,
Being with you,
I love to feel your embrace.
With you all time stops,
No cares on this earth,
I can never tell you enough
How much you are worth.
I feel your heart beat
With each breath that you take,
Each time you touch me,
My knees start to quake.
The light of the moon
And the stars can't compare
To my love for you,
To you only I'll share.
I think about you
Day in and day out,
I finally know now
What love is all about.
The moments I'm with you
I can not explain,
These feelings for you
I can not contain.
Please tell me you'll love me
Til the end of your days,
I want you to know
You set my heart ablaze.
You are the air that I breathe
And without you I'd die,
To be with you for always
Is on what I rely.
My heart wants to explode
From these feelings brand new,
It's covered in love
Like the fresh morning dew.
It's filled with desire
To love you forever,
It's want is to hold you,
And let go, I'll never!
I'll never stop loving you,
I'll never forsake,
Even the thought
Makes my soul start to ache.
I'll be here for you
Until all time will end,
My lover, my soul mate,
My very best friend.
