MARBELLA CLUB

The new Sacha Baron Cohen film, ‘The Dictator, aka ‘Finchley Dreams’, moves to location shooting in Sevilla at the end of this month, which according to Paramount Pictures, will, ‘tell the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed.’

The British comic actor plays two roles in the film: the dictator, and the look-alike goat herder who secretly replaces him, forcing the man whose place he usurped to start a new life in New York City.

Most of the scenes are shot in New York, but Diario de Sevilla reports that the capital of Andalucía and the Canarias island of Fuerteventura have been chosen to represent the backdrop of an Arab country.

The film is directed by Larry Charles, who also directed ‘Borat’ and ‘Bruno’, and is due for release in May next year

Hen and stag company Redseven has seen a four-fold increase in hen weekend bookings to Marbella following the success of the award-winning TV show, The Only Way is Essex. 

 

The Costa del Sol holiday hotspot features heavily in the ITV2 ‘reality soap’, with the cast’s passion for the Spanish resort even delivering the now popular dieting mantra ‘No carbs before Marbs’.

 

The TOWIE effect has had a much bigger impact on the girls than the guys, according to the company, which sells commissionable hen and stag weekends.  Although it has seen more interest from stags for Marbella this year, it says boys-only breaks still only make up 5% of this summer’s bookings to the Spanish resort.

It is the band's only date in Spain 

British funk band, Incognito, have chosen Salobreña for their only concert in Spain. It will take place on the Paseo de las Flores at 2230 on August 12 as part of the Tendencias festival.

The festival has been held for the past 20 years and has attracted many top national and international names, but this year is the first time it is to be held in the beautiful setting of the Paseo de Las Flores, close to the Salobreña Arab castle.

Swilling gallons of beer, wine and sangria, Spaniards and foreigners jammed into the main Plaza del Ayuntamiento to hear the traditional shout from a City Hall balcony: "Viva San Fermin".
Seconds later, a firecracker known as the "chupinazo" detonated, setting set off celebrations among a writhing mass of people dressed in white with red handkerchiefs, who sprayed each other with sangria.
The frenzy marked the start of a nine-day festival charged with alcohol, and laced with danger.
The most courageous, or inebriated, of the revellers are drawn by the daily thrill of being chased through the northern city's streets from a pack of huge, charging bulls.
It's a combination expected to draw more than a million tourists to Pamplona, popularised worldwide by Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel, The Sun Also Rises.
Party-goers were already drinking copious amounts of alcohol before the official start, squeezed into the main square. Some sat on friends' shoulders. One woman had stripped to the waist.
"I'm here to have fun, to enjoy with the locals and to run with the bulls," said 24-year-old Australian Adam Espron, wearing yellow sunglasses.
Two large glasses of sangria in his hands, Californian tourist David Panijelene was euphoric. "It is the first time for me. Today is my birthday," he said.
The festival's first bull run will be held at 8:00 am (0600 GMT) on Thursday, when hundreds of people race ahead of six fighting bulls and six steers stampeding through an 848.6-metre course from a holding pen to the city's bull ring.
The bull run takes on average just under four minutes, with 2,000 to 3,500 runners daring to get as close as possible without being trampled or pierced by the beasts' horns.
Every year between 200 and 300 participants are injured. Most are hurt after falling but some are trampled or gored by the bulls despite increased safety measures.
The most recent death occurred two years ago when a bull gored a 27-year-old Spaniard to death, piercing his neck, heart and lungs with its horns in front of the hordes of tourists.
This year organisers have launched a free iPhone app in English to help revellers to assess the chances that they will emerge from the festival unharmed.
It asks users about their behaviour at the festival, including how much they have had to drink and how many hours of sleep they have received.
The daily bull runs are the highlight of the festival, which ends July 14, but there is also dancing and drinking, lots and lots of drinking.
In the evening the beasts are killed in the bull ring and their meat is served up in city restaurants.
The city of some 200,000 residents expects the number of people who will take part in the festival this year will be at least as much as last year when 1.5 million people turned out and hotels reported a 95-percent occupancy rate.
The official opening of the festival and the morning bull runs are broadcast live on public television, drawing millions of viewers.

SHE has worked with the likes of Prince, Jools Holland and James Morrison and had a string of top ten hits.
Now British soul sensation Mica Paris, 42, is heading to Marbella for two solo shows.
Following a smash appearance at London’s Royal Albert Hall, where she covered a moving Dusty Springfield classic All I See is You, she will perform at restaurant Polo House.
“I am really excited as I haven’t done anything like it for a while,” she explained.
“It is going to be really stripped down, just me and the piano. It is nice to get rid of the band sometimes. There is something magical about that kind of performance.”
She added: “I like some of the smaller venues, they are more intimate and you are closer to the audience, you can see their faces and know what they want.
“It is like singing in your living room. I love it.”
Born Michelle Wallen in London in 1969, she is currently recording a new album, following her hits Black Angel and the debut platinum-selling So Good.
Already installed in a Top 10 list of the ‘100 Great Black Britons’, she was only 17 when she recorded her first hit album.
“It will be 23 years this year since I started and time has gone so quickly.
“When I made that first album I was like a baby. I was only 17 and I was a precocious little thing.”
She continued: “And for me it has always been about the music although I enjoyed doing other things.
“It was great to come back after seven years in TV. When I was making my record two years ago I felt like a kid again. I had forgotten how much I loved it and I love performing.”
Meanwhile, she is really looking forward to the show in Marbella.
“I have been over quite a few times before – in fact I was there last year when my friend Stephen Webster opened a jewellery shop – I just love it, particularly the great food and climate.
“Every time I come I have nothing but fun. I always see a lot of English friends I haven’t seen for ages. It will be great.”

Simon Cowell’s ex-girlfriend Jackie St Clair, who is a regular at the five-day meeting, wore an elegant grey dress and contrasted this with a larger-than-life bright yellow hat – perfect for a sunny summer’s day.

Danielle and Gary Lineker were also in attendance and did their best to take the crown as the new Posh and Becks with Danielle posing in a nude Victoria Beckham design – she even had the pouting pose on the go.

Danielle’s outfit was given the edge with an on-trend floppy hat and Gary scrubbed up well in his top hat and tails.

Holly Valance added a little sophistication to the day with a black knee-length dress and went against the grain of oversized hats by opting for a small, folded tilt hat.

There were also those in attendances who decided to take their hat off to mark the venues 300 year anniversary.

UK Natural History presenter Anneka Tanaka-Svenska stood out from the crowd with a two foot headpiece of blonde hair with pink and green roses. The hat was designed by Louis Mariette and inspired by the Queen Anne period.

Hatmaker and designer David Shilling also dressed for the occasion, wearing a black top hat decorated with two cocktail glasses, some red white and blue balloons and some bank notes and candles to spell out the phrase Happy Birthday.

Racegoers applauded members of the Royal family - the Queen, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall and princess Beatrice and Eugenie - as they entered the parade ground in a traditional horse drawn royal carriage procession.

The Queen dressed in pale green and wore an Angela Kelly hat which was decorated with a pale pink, blue and nude weaved bow.

There was also a sense of anticipation as Princess Beatrice arrived, following her controversial Philip Treacy hat at Will and Kate’s royal wedding.

However, this time the 22-year-old opted for a more traditional design - a fawn coloured wide brimmed hat accompanied with an elegant nude and black outfit.

This safe choice left others the opportunity for their moment in the hat spotlight …and boy were there plenty of people ready to take on the role!

Forbes' annual list of the Best-Paid Celebrities Under 30 is out once again, and joining it this year are a number of new faces—including Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood—while Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart maintain their staying power.
All told, 20 young celebs raked in a total of $690 million between May 2010 and May 2011. But topping them all is the diva herself, Lady Gaga. So how did she and her fellow fame monsters do?


Coming off the massive success of her recent Monster's Ball tour, an HBO special and an appearance on the finale of American Idol, the 25-year-old hitmaker took the top spot by grossing $90 million this year. That figure is based on the $170 million her Monster's Ball trek earned from 137 shows in 22 countries and the 15 million albums she sold worldwide during this past year—not counting sales of Born This Way, which dropped last month.
Bieber meanwhile landed in second place with $53 million in earnings at the tender age of 17, the youngest to grace the chart this year. Much of that money hailed from his world tour and 3-D film, Never Say Never, tallying $100 million globally.
Meanwhile, Miami Heat star LeBron James can take heart. He may have choked in the NBA Finals on Sunday, but his $48 million nabbed him third place on Forbes power list, which also includes a smattering of sports stars.
In the fifth spot is 21-year-old Swift who raked in $45 million based on touring and various endorsements, while sixth place went to Katy Perry with $44 million.
Other musicians singled out by Forbes include Rihanna, in 10th place based on the $29 million the "Umbrella" singer generated from her tour and album sales, including her most recent, Loud. Miley Cyrus also made the cut with $15 million, while Underwood's country career has propelled her to $15 million in income for 19th place.
Last but not least, Twilight's lovebirds R.Pattz and K.Stew tied for 15th place with $20 million each, much of that of course coming from the popular franchise but also other non-Twilight flicks as well (like Stewart's The Runaways and Pattinson's Water for Elephants). And both are expected to stay strong with the release of the final Twilight two-parter, Breaking Dawn.

David Hasselhoff, 58, switched rooms three times at London’s Trafalgar Hotel.

A hotel source said: “Porters were called up to his room on the fourth floor after he complained.

“He said the room didn’t have the right feng shui and wasn’t giving him the right vibes.

“His room stank of funny cigarettes and there was rubbish all over. We had to climb over all the mess to get his stuff out.”

The porters then heaved five black bags of gear to a new room on the fifth floor.

The mole added: “David lost tens of thousands of pounds worth of his trademark garish suits, which he left in one of his abandoned rooms. He finally settled on the fifth-floor room with a different view.

“Moments later he complained there was a flood outside his door and he wanted to move. We all started laughing.”

Undaunted, The Hoff turned up next day to start the Gumball 3000 Rally in Covent Garden with new girlfriend Hayley Roberts, 31

Though it's considered one of the most the exclusive dinner reservations in the world, editors of Esquire Spain magazine are bringing the olfactory experience to the wider public with a scratch-and-sniff cover that smells like El Bulli, the restaurant.

The June cover features a stubbly Ferran Adrià, mugging for the camera with furrowed brows on the eve of El Bulli's closure, set for July 30. Meanwhile, readers can release the smells of his restaurant - the scents that greet Adrià every morning by the bay of Cala Montjoi in Spain - by scratching the Esquire logo.

The scent is a combination of the ocean, eucalyptus and pine trees - essences meant to conjure up the Mediterranean Sea.

In a video interview with the magazine, Adrià waxes on about how pleased he is with the result, a collaborative effort with Dario Sirerol who has created scents for El Bulli in the past, and magazine editor Andrés Rodriguez.

"There is no doubt this Esquire cover smells as El Bulli," Adrià said. "It's just amazing that people can smell this little piece of the coast...When you smell this, you smell the Mediterranean Sea."

As the countdown to the closure continues, the din of noise from food writers has reached a steady, high-pitched drone. The restaurant - often cited as the best in the world - has reached a reputation of mythic proportions.

Bloggers, journalists and diners lucky enough to score a reservation have been falling all over themselves trying to squeeze in one last, hyperbole-laden review before the restaurant shutters, a trend Slate.com refers to as the "I Ate at El Bulli Piece" or IAAEBP.

Last year, for example, two million people tried to snag one of 8,000 seats - a 0.4-percent admission rate, writer Noreen Malone pointed out.

Stories also follow a predictable, unoriginal formula, she noted. Many begin by describing the treacherous path to the restaurant with common terms like "hairpin curves"; next up is a history of its origins; and some reviewers will try to detach themselves from the set of privileged dining elite - what Malone calls "modest throat-clearing" - by attributing their dinner to dumb luck or a happy mistake.

In 2014, the restaurant will reopen as the El Bulli Foundation, a gastronomic think thank and research facility

REALITY star Joey Essex's holiday in Marbella has turned into a nightmare - after thieves broke into his villa and stole £10,000 in cash and all his designer gear.
The Only Way Is Essex favourite, 20, discovered the secluded pad had been ransacked after returning from a night out early yesterday.

The thieves got into the villa - situated in the hills above the Costa del Sol town - through a window.

Among the expensive clobber stolen were a Hermes tan belt, a pair of orange Ugg boots and an Alexander McQueen T-shirt.

Joey - who is dating Sam Faiers, 20, from the Bafta-award winning ITV2 show - told pals: "Everything's gone, I've nothing left."

Joey, above, was staying with three friends, who aren't on the show.

The majority of the TOWIE gang are staying in plush hotels.

A friend told TV Biz: "Joey thinks he was targeted because they knew about him being on TV and thought he'd have a lot of valuables and money.

"He had nothing left apart from the clothes he was wearing."

Joey has reported the theft to Spanish cops. Last night his manager jetted out with clothes and cash.

Royal Maid of Honour Pippa Middleton earned herself an army of fans when she waltzed down the aisle after Kate Middleton on April 29th. But it seems the stylish girl about town can now add one more unlikely supporter to her list – none other than chart topping superstar, Lady Gaga.

The outlandish songstress has spoken out about her love of the younger Miss Middleton’s style, and how her flowing Alexander McQueen ensemble stole the show at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s glittering nuptials.



No stranger to some weird, wonderful and downright bizarre fashion creations, it seems Lady G is still able to appreciate more simple sartorial sensibilities, and was quick to praise Pippa’s chic wedding day look.

When quizzed on the royal nuptials, Gaga confirmed she had seen the ceremony, and revealed she thought Pippa ‘oozed style’.

‘Kate looked great at the wedding but I thought the sister Pippa oozed style,’ the outlandish Judas singer told the Daily Star.

Demand for homes in the Spanish hotspots of Malaga in the Costa del Sol and Palma on the island of Mallorca could improve on the back of news that BA CityFlyer, a subsidiary of British Airways (BA), will introduce new flights to these two destinations from London City Airport.

In response to high demand from London City Airport travellers, BA CityFlyer, has announced a new route to Malaga and increased frequency of flights to Palma.

Many Brits working in the City of London often travel abroad from London City Airport in order to escape the hustle and bustle of the capital, with some already owning homes in places like Spain.

BA CityFlyer will fly to Malaga three times a week from 8 June 2011, while flights to Palma and Ibiza will increase from four to ten per week between July and September, the height of the holiday season.

Ignacio Osle, Sales & Marketing Director of Taylor Wimpey de Espana, comments: “This is another positive step for Spain welcoming increased passenger numbers from London and the south-east of England. Demand is high for the Costa del Sol and Mallorca with many air travellers taking their holidays in these sunshine destinations but also we have great number of home owners in these regions so more flights allows greater flexibility in accessing second homes throughout the year.”

Set in the rolling hills of southern Spain between Marbella and Sotogrande, flanked by the Casares Mountains, its magnificent golf course overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and is hailed as one of Spain’s finest.

After four and a half decades, 2009 saw the Volvo World Match Play Championship move to its new home at Finca Cortesin, arguably one of the finest golf courses in the world.

This week 19 May sees 24 of the world’s top players flocking to Finca Cortesin’s spectacular par 72 18 hole golf course, designed by one of the world’s leading

golf course architects, Cabell Robinson.

The course has been designed to incorporate the area’s original flora and fauna and is reputed to have the best greens in Southern Spain, known as Finca Cortesin’s jewels.

At 7,380 yards, this is one of the longest golf courses in Europe, with over 100 beautifully crafted white marble sand bunkers dotted amongst well-manicured

fairways.

With five par-3s and five par-5s, the tournament kicked off today (Thursday 19 May) with players drawn into eight groups of three where they will battle it out for a spot in the knock-out stages, consisting of the last 16.

Semi-finals will be on Saturday 21 May with the final on Sunday 22 May to determine the winner of the €800,000 prize.

Finca Cortesin is an ideal getaway for golfers of all abilities. Cleverly positioned so that you never hit into the sun at anytime of the day, sharpen your swing and aim for one of the four target greens all situated at different distances, so you can practise for when you play the course itself.

Finca Cortesin’s facilities and services also include a golf club valet and cleaning service, a buggy bar for ice cold drinks on demand when on the course and a large interior designed Clubhouse with golf shop, bar, restaurant, terrace and impressive and unspoilt views of the course and the ocean.

Jamie Dempsey, 33, changed his looks after his picture appeared on TV, but was caught near Marbella on Tuesday.

The Serious Organised Crime Agency suspect him of being involved with a £12.6million haul of cocaine, seized in 2009.

Dempsey, named as one of Britain’s 10 most wanted men, was traced to a villa complex in a joint operation by Spain’s National Police and the paramilitary Civil Guard.

He is being held at a high-security prison near Madrid, awaiting extradition proceedings at the National Criminal Court.

If he agrees to return to Britain, a Soca escort will take him back within the next two weeks.

But if the Essex man decides to fight, the case could take months.

Fans are being given the chance to see the .
The star – who shot to fame during the 1990s as the lead singer of the Manchester band – will be performing hits such as Moving on Up and One Night in Heaven alongside tracks from her solo albums, including Proud which became the theme for the Oprah Winfrey show.


Guests will have a five course dinner followed by an intimate concert at the event which takes place on June 7 and 8.

Evidence collected from the scene of an explosion on Thursday in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh confirms it was a bomb attack, the interior ministry said.
"Analysis of the early evidence collected at the site of the blast that occurred on Thursday at a cafe in Marrakesh confirms the theory of an attack," the ministry said in a statement carried by the official MAP news agency.
The blast in the iconic Jamaa el-Fna square is Morocco's deadliest bombing in eight years.
Earlier reports suggested that the blast may have been caused by a gas canister catching fire.
Witnesses reported rescue services pulling casualties from the cafe.
"There was a huge bang, and lots of smoke went up, there was debris raining down from the sky. Hundreds of people were running in panic, some towards the cafe, some away from the square. The whole front of the cafe is blown away," Andy Birnie, of north London, told The Associated Press by telephone. Mr Birnie is honeymooning in Marrakech.
"It was lunchtime so the square was very busy. We had just walked into the square, but were shielded by some stalls. The locals are telling us it was gas bottles exploding."
Morocco's interior ministry said the explosion appeared to be a "criminal act", according to the state news agency MAP.
Portuguese tourist Alexandre Carvalho, a 34-year-old call centre worker from southern Portugal said: "I had just arrived at the square, the area where most cafes are located.
"Suddenly I heard this massive explosion, I had my back turned to it, I turned around to see it the explosion had happened on the veranda of a cafe.
"There were at least 10 injured people, lots of debris, things flying up in the air. I saw people in a panic running towards the area with fire extinguishers, some people being carried away. I believe the injured were mostly tourists, judging by what they were wearing."

The City of London police and the Financial Services Authority are warning investors to be on their guard.
The low interest rate environment has made Middle England savers the perfect targets for the scams, known as "boiler room" fraud.
"Middle-aged, middle England is the prime target," said Det Supt Bob Wishart of City of London police. "This group of people is vulnerable at the moment because interest rates are so low and investors are being attracted by the high yield they are being offered.
"These firms use really high-class mass-marketing techniques – this type of fraud is a great threat."
The police warning comes as several Telegraph readers have come forward to Jessica Gorst-Williams, Your Money's consumer champion, asking for her help and concerned that they have fallen victim to a boiler room scam.

DH, a Telegraph reader lost £400,000 to such a scam. He was conned by a company that appeared to be genuine – it had an FSA authorisation number and an HSBC bank account, albeit offshore. He has little hope of recovering a penny..
Jonathan Phelan, the head of unauthorised business at the FSA, told the Telegraph that "cloning" was the latest tactic used by boiler room scammers. He said he had come across 80 cloning cases in the past year.
Traditionally, boiler rooms would use a company name that was similar to a well-known high street brand. Only last month the FSA published an alert warning people not to be tricked by a company going by the name of Skipton Asset Management and purporting to be linked to Skipton Building Society. In reality it has no links with the building society and is not authorised by the regulator.
Mr Phelan said: "Don't accept the caller's word for it. Check our register, but then call the company back on its switchboard number. You have to do a little bit of homework to be sure."
For the first time the FSA is seeing boiler rooms asking victims to transfer money to British-based bank accounts. In the past, bogus companies asked investors to transfer money overseas.
However, because of raised publicity about boiler rooms, many potential victims have got wise to this tactic and have refused to send money overseas, fearing they are being conned.
To try to counter this, the fraudsters have set up British bank accounts in the hope that they will stand a greater chance of getting their hands on savers' cash.
Mr Phelan said: "Boiler rooms have always used offshore bank accounts but never UK ones – until this year, that is. We have unearthed 10 such scams since this January. However, although they might use UK bank accounts, the operation is still likely to be based overseas, often in Spain. Once the bank account reaches a certain balance, say £100,000, it is cleared out and the money moved overseas."
Mr Phelan added that the regulator was working with an overseas authority on getting their hands on a master list that contains the names of tens of thousands of would-be targets – such lists are termed "sucker lists" by boiler rooms.
Different boiler rooms are known to trade lists, which are compiled from publicly available shareholder registers, for thousands of pounds. In previous cases, as many as 150 boiler rooms have been discovered to be using a single list.
Over the past year the FSA has written to about 95,000 people warning them that they are on boiler room master lists.
Research suggests that boiler rooms target older people (50pc of investors today are aged over 65) with previous experience of investments or owning shares. The average amount of money lost is £20,000, but the biggest individual loss to date recorded by the police is £1.2m.
Supt Wishart said: "The con men target people who have built up a nest egg, who may have taken early retirement or may have retired already. It's not just those over 50 – I remember one young victim who invested a redundancy pay-off into a scam."
He said the tactics used by the fraudsters followed a pattern and that there were telltale signs of a scam. If, for example, the investment sounded too good to be true then it probably was. And be on your guard if you are asked for money up front to pay unexpected fees (such as taxes or charges) before your "profits" can be released.

Kate and her extended brood will be checking in on Thursday, which is prompting the hotel to close its doors to the public through Saturday. Tight-lipped staffers, who didn't want to disclose their full names, say the top floor of the 60-plus-room hotel -- which is just a stone's throw from the modest estate owned by their future in-laws (that'd be Buckingham Palace) -- has been under extensive renovation since January to convert it into one giant suite. One can only wonder what that might cost considering that simple rooms at the five-story hotel run from $800 to $2,600 a night.

While shuttering the hotel may seem extreme, it certainly makes it easier to handle security matters for the family whose daughter is marrying the future heir to the throne. Afterwards, no doubt the hotel will discreetly make it known that Prince William's betrothed stayed here on the night before her wedding. There's already a prominent life-size statue of hotel founder O.R. Goring -- whose descendants still run the enterprise -- in the lobby, as well as signage proudly passing on the fact that when the place opened in 1910, it was the first such establishment in the world in which all rooms came with a bathroom and central heating. In the chilly London of that era, that indeed was luxury fit for royalty.

Getting there and away

Travelling from the UK to Marbella is quick and direct. Many airlines fly from the UK to Malaga including British Airways, easyJet, Monarch, Ryan Air and Aer Lingus and average flight times are less than three hours.

There are direct buses from the airport to Marbella bus station, or you can hire a car from the airport.

Marbella Club on Spain’s balmy Costa del Sol is the sweetest remedy for those annoying late-March snowstorms. Shrouded in sweaters for months, my skin is the colour of Metamucil and I’m feeling woefully subpar. Nothing a good seawater drenching can’t fix.

The Spanish have long been obsessed with sea bathing, and Marbella Club Spa is one of their best for thalassotherapy – the use of heated seawater to restore vitality. While most upscale facilities feature snazzy showers, few offer fresh seawater Vichy – a horizontal shower with jets adjusted to alternate between vigorous and gentle massage.
