Justin Timberlake to perform in the Middle East  
Sunday, October 28th, 2007

Justin Timberlake is going to Abu Dhabi for his first Middle Eastern concert ever, this December.  His show will take place at the Emirates Palace Hotel on December 6, 2007, his first concert in the United Arab Emirates and the final concert for his FutureSex/LoveSounds tour.

The concert will take place on the grounds in front of the hotel, and about 10,000 are expected already, according to Sheeraz Hasan, the founder of Dubai.tv.  Tickets went on sale on Thursday.

Abu Dhabi has provided the set for the new thriller The Kingdom with Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner.  Laura Bush was also just in Abu Dhabi at the Sheikh Khalifa Medica Center...too bad Justin didn't coordinate his trip with her.  Could you imagine him in the middle of this picture?

Justin's a do-gooder in his own right, I like him.  He kicked off the Australian leg of his world tour at Brisbane's Boondall Entertainment Centre by making a $100,000 donation to the late Steve Irwin & family's Australia Zoo.

I kind of can't picture him performing FutureSex/LoveSounds in Abu Dhabi, though.  Is that allowed?
