Actually they only have enough oil for like 10 years.

This is because Dubai owns Hollywood.tv and Sam has him pap hookups so why not? Dubai is hot right now. They own just about everything associated with Britney from the paps to the Four Seasons.

The part in Rolling Stone about Dubai:

New players enter the gold rush by the minute, with people from around the world getting into the game: The flashiest new player is Sheeraz Hasan, a Pakistani-British immigrant who recently founded hollywood.tv with backing from investors for His Highness of Dubai.

A devout Muslim who can be found at the mosque on Fridays for prayers - and also drives a yellow Lamborghini - he was on the hajj to Mecca when he stopped in a small town on the side of a mountain for a bottle of water, and there he saw a newspaper, and on the cover was Britney. “It seemed to me she was the number one star in the world, not Tom Cruise, not Will Smith,” says Hasan. “everything Britney does is news - Britney pumps gas, Britney forgets to put milk in her coffee - and there’s a war going on, man!”

Hasan realized it was his calling to build a paparazzi agency and brand with Britney’s soap opera as the centerpiece: “By the blessing of God, my logo is on AP, Entertainment Tonight and CNN,” he says, looking prayerful. He leans in and confides, “I’m going to take Paris to Dubai - the sheiks said any amount of money she wants is fine - and next I’m going to take Britney,” he whispers. “She can have her own island!”
