DALLAS AUSTIN IMPRISONED IN DUBAI: Producer caught with drugs

      *Uh oh. This is not good. Producer Dallas Austin in prison ... in Dubai. The man behind hits for TLC and other stars, is accused of transporting drugs into that country, according to the NY Daily News. Reports say he was on his way to Naomi Campbell's birthday party, which happened last month.

      Campbell's b-day party was celebrated over a 3-day period at the Burj Al Arab hotel. Her 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."

      Being caught with drugs in an Arab country is not a smart move. And yes, you guessed it. Dubai, which is a member state of the United Arab Emirates, has strict drug policies and a reputation for a stern justice system. The country has been known to levy death sentences, albeit in extreme cases, for convicted drug traffickers. Even possession of small quantities of various drugs can result in lengthy jail sentences.

      Austin's representatives had no comment.
