The sultan of schwing


It's amazing how many celebrity guests will attend your birthday party if you're the Sultan of Brunei's son. Prince Azim's fantasy wish-list of film, music and fashion sirens were all present and dressed to the nines at his lavish 30th bash in London last night.
 And the minted royal appears to have a soft spot for busty older women, spending much of the occasion chatting to dress-stretchers Mariah Carey and Pamela Anderson. Other over-40s sirens on his guest list at the swanky Dorchester hotel event included Marisa Tomei, Faye Dunaway, Raquel Welch, Stephanie Beacham and Jerry Hall, who was joined by her daughter Elizabeth Jagger.
 Prince Azim mingled with his A-list pals and enjoyed cuddles with singing legend Dionne Warwick and former Baywatch beauty Anderson, who presented him with a birthday present. The third in line to succeed the throne of Brunei is famous for his extravagant shindigs. In 2009 he threw a do dubbed the "party of the year", spending £70,000 on flowers, to see in his 27th birthday. In the past he's partied with Michael Jackson, Diana Ross and Scarlett Johansson.
 Aside from his luxuriant lifestyle, Prince Azim is well known for filling his time with charity work - predominantly helping with handicapped societies. He is also a patron of the UK's Make A Wish Foundation and even walked the catwalk for Naomi Campbell's Fashion For Relief fundraiser in 2007.
 However, last night was all about basking in his own impressive pulling power - and his chosen ladies lapped up the prince's attention. Wearing a black suit, red tie and, oddly, one fingerless leather glove, Azim cosied up to Carey and Dunaway on a leather sofa and stood up when Anderson made a speech. The busty blonde was on trademark form, flaunting her legs and most of her augmented assets in a revealing frock.
 Rather than a goody bag worth thousands, singer Carey left the bash holding a furry toy sheep. The Hero star - clad in a figure-hugging shiny gown - was reportedly flown to London by Prince Azim in a private jet especially for the party. And she took advantage of her fleeting visit to the UK, meeting with a film producer yesterday discuss her new movie role. Who says you can't mix business with pleasure?
