Dubai party's over for Naomi's pal (Wizbang Pop!)

That sounds about right.

Yikes. Legendary producer Dallas Austin is in a Dubai prison, where he stands accused of transporting drugs into the Arab country en route to Naomi Campbell's birthday party last month.

Austin has worked with Madonna, Michael Jackson, Brandy, TLC, Aretha Franklin, the Indigo Girls and Boyz II Men. Dubai, which is a member state of the United Arab Emirates, has strict drug policies and a reputation for a stern justice system.

Campbell's birthday party was a three-day extravaganza at the Burj Al Arab hotel, which drew fellow models like Eva Herzigova and Linda Evangelista. Campbell's boyfriend, Dubai oil heir Badr Jafar, rented out a large section of the ultra-expensive hotel. Each day had a theme: "All White," "Hip Hop" and "Brazilian Samba."

It's not likely the supermodel has tried to bring her friend a cake with a file in it or has even bothered to visit. "Naomi doesn't know anything about this," her flack told us. A rep for Austin had no comment.
