    "In the last two months, recruiters in Hong Kong and Dubai say they've seen a record number of New York résumés from candidates looking for law-firm or in-house legal work overseas."

    I think most American CEOs have a residence in Dubai now, don't they? It's the new Cayman Islands.

    weeeellll... I think Jezebel doth protest too much. For a website that sometimes promotes these psuelebrities through "snap judgment" etc, really...


    Don't get me wrong. love Jezebel. LOVE.


    And huh. Dubai. I can't help but wonder if the Saudi men there were were looking at all the female celebrities wearing less than a burka and thinking "whore. whore. look, another whore."


    So why in the name of all that's fun-loving and American would a female celebrity want to go to DUBAI of all places. They hate us. Why promote their pleasure palaces? I don't get it.

    @euterpe35: The celebs were probably paid to show up or at least flown in for free. Hey, Richard: shouldn't you add that possible explanation to the piece?

    C'mon you guys, this is our chance! We've been wanting these people to go away for years, and now they have. The important thing is that we now seal the borders to keep them out.

    Our bitter friend here appears to be a visitor from Jezebel, which is a fine website that sometimes attracts rather humorless specimens of my lovely gender.

    @Weegee's bored: Hey, I took a semester of women's studies, so I know all about that. I think after my tenth rant about Barbie, my (female) friends asked me to wait at least 30 mins after that class to have a conversation with them.

    @hellodarling!: Yep, I checked before I pointed fingers, I swear! There are some wonderful Jezzie commenters and go there sometimes myself, but for some reason it attracts a fair amount of the irony-impaired who (thankfully!) get weeded out eventually.
