Two days after pleading guilty to drug charges in Dubai and getting a four-year prison sentence, Grammy-winning hitmaker Dallas Austin was unexpectedly freed from jail Tuesday when the Middle Eastern country’s ruler granted him a pardon.

Kimberly Wyatt gushes, “We absolutely love Prince William. He’s good-looking, intelligent, charming, gentlemanly, the list goes on.”
Nicole Scherzinger adds, “We are desperate to meet him. He’s my dream guy. I really hope I’ll see him while we’re over here.”
