Hollywood stars in Jodhpur to celebrate Naomi Campbell boyfriend Vladimir's birthday bash

Jodhpur, Rajasthan, Nov 6 :Twelve chartered planes on Monday ferried around 200 celebrity guests here for the big birthday bash of British supermodel Naomi Campbell for her Russian billionaire boyfriend Vladimir Doronin at the 15th century majestic Mehrangarh Fort. High-end sedans and vintage cars were roped in for transporting the guests from the Jodhpur airport. Campbell, 42, who has been dating Doronin since 2008, has chosen Jodhpur over Jaipur for Doronin's 50th birthday bash because the place has been the part of many grand celebrations including that of Liz Hurley and Arun Nair wedding and Rishika Lulla's sangeet ceremony. Back in 2010 Doronin had hosted Campbell's 40th birthday party in a grand way at the French Riviera. The Mehrangarh Fort has been decorated in vibrant Indian and Rajasthani themes by the team of British designers. A source from the fort said that the imposing structure has never been decorated in such a magnificent way ever before by British designers. The catwalk queen, who is the face of Doronin property company, started dating the tycoon after meeting him at the Cannes Film Festival four years back. She has reportedly splashed out $ 500,000 to have Grammy winner and American singer-actress Diana Ross perform at her billionaire Russian boyfriend party. Meanwhile, the organizers have also sought security assistance from the city police. DCP (East) Rahul Prakash said that the organizers had met him seeking some assistance in the form of police deployment and permission for using loud-speakers. "We have provided them with 50 policemen and 50 home-guards, who will take care of the security arrangements outside the fort and from the airport leading to it," he said. IANS adds: About 125 celebrity guests will get the taste of real Rajasthani culture at the majestic Mehrangarh fort here during the three-day event.The long list of celebrities likely to attend the main birthday function on Tuesday includes Black Eyed Peas, Grace Jones, Donatella Versace, Kate Moss, Giorgio Armani and Jennifer Lopez. "Campbell reached Jodhpur Sunday. She took stock of the preparations and seemed satisfied with them. They were more interested about the two venues of the fort, Daulat Khana and the Zenana courtyard, where the main bash will be organised," said an official. "Everything from dinner to decorations is based on Rajasthani culture. There will be sophisticated lighting outside the fort, however, the scene will be entirely different inside it," said an official of an event management company involved with the preparations. Officials privy to the celebrations said the Daulat Khana would be entirely lit up with royal oil lamps rather then electrical lights. "It will be a beautiful experience for the guests who would be seated on special Rajasthani beds called 'macha'," an official said. He added that 13 chartered planes flew several high-profile guests from Moscow, London, New York, Abu Dhabi, Istanbul, Mumbai and Delhi, to Jodhpur on Monday. "More guests will arrive Tuesday when the birthday will be celebrated," the official said. The musical performance by Diana Ross will be one of the main attractions at the function.
