Pictured: Dwarves, scantily-clad women and football superstars arrive at Lamine Yamal's 'exploitative' 18th birthday party - New images emerge as Spain's government demand investigation
New images of the people with Dwarfism and scantily-clad women paid to attend Yamal Lama's 18th birthday have surfaced as the Spanish government demands an investigation into the event. The Barcelona youngster has been widely criticised for the celebratory bash which allegedly 'exploited dwarves' and women with 'specific breast measurements paid to attend'. On Tuesday, new images of the individuals arriving at the private event were obtained and showed a group of five men with Achondroplasia as they appeared to be getting registered for the party. Another image shows a few women after passing through that checkpoint as they appear to be headed to the main venue. Elsewhere, in pictures that were taken later in the night, a multitude of guests can be seen arriving for the spectacle. The notable attendees include Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski. It follows the claims of a model named Claudio Calvo that Yamal paid for 12 women with a 'certain breast size' to attend the bash and now the government are seeking a huge fine and probe into the mafia-themed bash following the outcry over paid attendees with Dwarfism. Attendees arrived in droves for the celebratory bash on a private estate that could be the subject of a government investigation Yamal had celebrated his birthday this weekend with around 200 people attending the event, including friends, family and team-mates. But after Association of People with Achondroplasia and Other Skeletal Dysplasias with Dwarfism (ADEE) threatened to take legal action, the Spanish government joined those condemning Yamal and demanded a probe into the party. According to Marca, Yamal could be hit with a fine of up to £867,000 and the General Director of Disability in the government, Jesús Martín, wants ministers to approve an investigation. He said: 'We are concerned that people with money, people with power, believe themselves to be unpunished. The law is for everyone, for the humble and for the powerful.' Martin also expressed his fear that this kind of party could impact impressionable young fans who look up to Yamal and copy his behaviour. The specifics around what exactly was asked of those with dwarfism in attendance remains murky but the group representing those with disabilities roundly condemned Yamal. 'The ADEE, a member organization of the Spanish Confederation of People with Physical and Organic Disabilities (COCEMFE), condemns and publicly denounces the hiring of people with dwarfism as part of the entertainment at the recent 18th birthday party of soccer player Lamine Yamal,' their statement read. 'The Association announces that it will take legal and social action to safeguard the dignity of people with disabilities, considering that these actions violate not only current legislation but also the fundamental ethical values of a society that seeks to be egalitarian and respectful.' In the face of the criticism, the Barcelona star has simply shared a one-minute clip to fans on social media of his party, writing 'Just 1 minute, enjoy it'. The clip revealed the party took place at a private estate and had a mafia style theme. Spanish model Claudio Calvo has claimed organisers had tried to hire 12 blonde women with specific breast sizes to attend the event Yamal had been dressed in a white suit with a red rose in his lapel, while his look included sunglasses and a cane. The teenager was also seen wearing a £300,000 necklace featuring his initials "LY', which had been gifted to him by Dominican rapper El Alfa. Despite being a private event, where guests were not permitted to take mobile phones and take photos, parts of the teenager's celebration have drawn criticism. Spanish model, Calvo, who was Miss Teenager Spain 2021 and Miss Teenager Europe 2022, claimed she was asked to attend the event. Speaking on Spanish television show Tardear TV, alleged that organisers were seeking to hire 12 blonde women with specific breast sizes to attend the celebration. She claimed the women would have been paid up to 20,000 euros, but would need to be available for 24 hours, with the location of the event not disclosed to them. Calvo claimed she had backed out of the event after receiving the list of demands 'I have screenshots of everything, the conversations, they told me that the fee would be a certain amount between 10,000 and 20,000 euros,' Calvo told Tardear TV. 'But the truth is that you don't really know what you're getting into, because they don't tell you what they really expect from you beyond "having a good time" at the party. 'They asked for blonde girls with a certain breast size,' Calvo claimed, adding organisers were looking for 'models or escorts'. Yamal's private party was attended by friends and Barcelona team-mates and reportedly had a mafia theme Images have also reportedly emerged of the people with dwarfism entering the venue, where the party was held. A number of pictures from the event have since been shared on social media, showing Yamal alongside some of his Barcelona team-mates, namely Gavi and Alejandro Balde. In one clip the pair can be seen singing together on stage. Reports from Spain claim that Yamal had earlier enjoyed a meal with close friends and family at the La Cupula restaurant south of the Catalan capital. There were plenty of glamourous women in attendance at the 18-year-old's bash Yamal's father shared a number of images from a separate get together with his 1.2million followers on Instagram. The Association of People with Achondroplasia and Other Skeletal Dysplasias with Dwarfism (ADEE) threatened to take legal action against the Barcelona star. ADEE president Carolina Puente added 'It's unacceptable that in the 21st century, people with dwarfism continue to be used as entertainment at private parties, and even more serious when these incidents involve public figures like Lamine Yamal. 'The dignity and rights of our community are not entertainment for anyone, under any circumstances. 'Shows or recreational activities in which people with disabilities or other circumstances are used to provoke mockery, ridicule, or derision from the public in a manner contrary to the respect due to human dignity are prohibited. 'When a person with social influence participates in these types of situations, the damage is even greater, because it conveys to society—especially to young people—that discrimination is acceptable. 'We must eradicate the objectification of difference and educate people in respect and equity. 'We will not remain silent. We will defend the dignity and rights of our community in all areas, and we will demand accountability so that acts like these never happen again.'

Lady Lola Bute's princess party! Model aristocrat dances the night away in a tiara as she's chauffeured around London in a glitzy bus for her 26th - after THAT debauched 25th bash
Her 25th was certainly one for the books, involving a weekend-long celebration at her family seat, surrounded by A-listers in daring sheer outfits, dining on lobster, oysters and local beef before watching a grand fireworks display. But proving she's the Queen of birthday bashes, Lady Lola Bute celebrated her 26th in equal style this year, enjoying a fun-filled night of dancing while being chauffeured around London in a glitzy double decker party bus. Celebrating her latest milestone, the daughter of the late John Crichton-Stuart, 7th Marquess of Bute and fashion designer Serena Bute paraded around Claridge's in a tiara before putting on an evening of disco-filled fun for her loved ones. Deciding to stay closer to home this year, she threw a big birthday bash in Central London, inviting her closest family and friends onto a plush double decker party bus kitted out with a bar, dancefloor and comfy sofas. The aristocratic model certainly turned heads as she strutted around in a shimmery blue mini dress which featured a low back and showed off her toned physique. She paired her ensemble with strappy silver heels and a matching bag. Lola spent her evening dancing away to classic hits such as Whitney Houston 's I Wanna Dance with Somebody and Don't Phunk with My Heart by the Black Eyed Peas, as the bus toured around famous landmarks such as the London Eye, where Lola hopped out to get a snap in all of her finery. Champagne, beers and cocktails appeared to be endlessly flowing for guests, although not for Lola, who is sober and has been since 2020 after losing her boyfriend Kai Schachter, to suicide in 2019, and her best friend IIa Scheckter to a suspected accidental overdose just six months later. Meanwhile, four years ago, Lola's father died of cancer and she said at the time that she 'wouldn't wish it on her worst enemy'. She spent time raising awareness of mental health and raising money for charities, while continuing to post the occasional snap of the pair together, ensuring that his memory continues to live on. Lola captioned her birthday Instagram upload: 'I'm usually quite shy, don't really like attention and realllyyy hate my birthday, but this year thought I'd change it up… I feel so loved, I love my friends and family more than I could ever describe. 'Birthdays can be weird, turning 26 without my dad but knowing he's somewhere watching over me, hopefully proud. He was the one who always allowed me to be myself.' The 26-year-old decided to bask in the spotlight and soaked up being the star of the show as she put on a leggy display in her glittering frock and twirled around as her closest pals who encouraged her to let her hair down after a tough five years. Lola - who was once described as the 'ultimate It-girl' by society bible Tatler - had two separate celebrations, as she also shared snaps of her wearing a pink tiara which said: 'Birthday princess'. It is believed she spent the morning of her birthday tucking into breakfast at Claridge's - a luxury five-star hotel located in Knightsbridge and loved by A-listers and royals, from Queen Victoria to Kylie Minogue. Dressed in a silky pink top, Lola sipped her tea as she tucked into an impressive spread of exotic fruits, pancakes, avocado, sourdough and boiled eggs - which she washed down with some freshly squeezed orange juice. Later, she was also seen riding as a passenger on a Lime bike, wrapping her arms around a man's back who is believed to be her Dutch model boyfriend Parker Van Noord, who she has been dating since 2023. Lola was showered in stunning bouquets of flowers which she placed inside her Claridge's hotel room, where a superior suite is priced at an eye-watering £1,560 a night. It is believed she spent the morning of her birthday tucking into breakfast at Claridge's - a luxury five-star hotel located in Knightsbridge She was given a birthday card and a cake from the hotel to add to her towering stack of gifts which included Charbonnel and Walker chocolate truffles, a Quasi face mask along with gift boxes filled with goodies. Lola was seen blowing out her candles on her buttercream heart-shaped cake adorned with pink flowers, as she appeared to keep her birthday celebrations relatively low-key in comparison to last year. Ever the party planner, the socialite she had been planning the impressive party since she was five years old. The star-studded guest list included Sienna Miller, Poppy Delevingne and Princess Olympia of Greece, who all joined Lola on the island. She wore a similar 90s-inspired silver micro-dress and was pictured dancing seductively with her boyfriend Parker. Lola told ELLE magazine: 'I've literally been planning this party since I was five. My mum would dread getting stuck on a ski lift with me because it's all I talk about. Most girls are thinking about their wedding. I was like, 'I don't want to share the attention with anyone'.' The theme was 'How Lola Can You Go?' and she must had had a vivid childhood imagination judging by the pictures Lady Lola later posted on social media which immediately caused a viral sensation. Giant inflatable mushrooms and tepees implausibly sprouted throughout the vast baronial mansion on the Isle of Bute. There was techno music and flashing lights, dining tables groaning with lobsters, oysters and local beef, a marching band of pipers and fireworks lighting up the skies above the Firth of Clyde. Hollywood stars mingled with fashion icons and royalty sipping champagne through straws straight from the bottle with the whole weekend extravaganza described as Ibiza colliding with Saltburn, the arch movie satire about the debauchery of the upper classes. 'I love an occasion,' she told the magazine, admitting that she has always loved to play a character rather than herself 'because I think I wasn't quite sure who I was, honestly, until recently'. She recalls telling her headmaster on her first day at school that she wanted to be Cinderella rather than Lola. Nevertheless, she was surprised with the media frenzy the bash received: 'My mum was like, 'I think we should say no Instagram or social media over the weekend'. I was like, 'Don't be ridiculous. No one cares'. I don't know what happened, but I went to sleep on Sunday night and woke up on Monday, and it was everywhere.' Her father, John Crichton-Stuart, spent much of his time on his namesake Scottish island at his ancestral home, Mount Stuart, and had chaired the Board of Mount Stuart Trust since 2005. The 7th Marquess, once ranked 616th in the Rich List, was also a Formula 1 driver in 1986 as he partnered Ayrton Senna and raced under the name Johnny Dumfries. At the time of his death his family issued a statement describing him as a 'devoted husband, father, brother, uncle, son and grandfather and loved by all'. It said: 'The indomitable spirit and energy which Johnny brought to his life will be greatly missed, and the immense warmth and love with which he embraced his family. 'His heart was firmly rooted on the Island of Bute where he spent much of his time. 'Johnny chaired the Board of Mount Stuart Trust from its active inauguration in 2005 when Mount Stuart and its gardens opened to the public, and its rural estate was vested into the charitable trust. 'He was a moderniser and an inspirational thinker, transitioning a family home to a progressive, working visitor facility and estate. 'His island projects include the internationally respected Bute Fabrics and, most recently, the Kerrylamont Centre for Rural Excellence and Bute Yard. He was a philanthropist through his foundation, particularly focusing on Scotland and the West Coast. His family request privacy at this time.'

Liz Cambage turns up the heat in a tiny string bikini as she shares never-before-seen photos from Bianca Censori's wild 30th birthday bash in the Maldives
Liz Cambage set pulses racing this week with a series of revealing snaps while on a recent holiday in the Maldives. The Australian basketball star, 33, was on the idyllic South Asian island to celebrate the 30th birthday of pal and Kanye West 's wife Bianca Censori in January. And Liz took to Instagram on Wednesday to share some memories from the birthday bash, as well as some eye-popping beach snaps. The 33-year-old re-shared a series of photos that she posted after the glittering birthday bash. The sports star looked glamorous in a crop top and matching skirt as she towered over Bianca's mother Alexandra and her sister Angelina in one photo. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She also shared another image of the Australian architect standing on a ladder and cutting an enormous cake. Bianca sizzled at the party in a barely-there black bodysuit ensemble that highlighted her ample cleavage. The upper portion of her outfit featured a deeply plunging neckline that dramatically dipped down to her waist. Liz was also not afraid to flaunt her toned beach bod during the trip, with one photo showing her pert derrière in a barely there black bikini. Se also wore a jacquard canvas sun hat and accessorised with a Gucci handbag slung over her well-toned shoulder. Liz was also seen swimming with turtles in one short clip, while another showed her partying with pals on a yacht. Despite being on vacation, Liz found time to work on her enviable physique, with the athlete sharing a gym selfie in the carousel. 'Maldives memories. Bby b's birthday,' she captioned the photos which drew a flurry of fawning comments from followers. Both Bianca and Kanye also shared glimpses to social media from the Australian architect's birthday bash. One clip from the night included Bianca enjoying a sexy dance with Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, 50. She and Penelope were pictured writhing on the dance floor together, lost in the rhythm of Azealia Banks' party hit 212. Another loved-up video showed Bianca dancing in Kanye's arms, with her legs wrapped around his waist. Bianca was seen flashing a bright smile as Kanye carried her around. She also posted two snaps of the pair sharing steamy kisses on her Instagram Stories. It comes after Kanye was, this week, slammed by fans for dressing Bianca exactly like ex Kim Kardashian. On Monday, Bianca, known for her highly provocative fashion choices, put on a very daring display as she stepped out in a plunging nude leotard. Looking very much like Kim Kardashian's doppelganger, Bianca also wore voluminous black hair extensions, further prompting comparisons to the reality star Queen. 'I see Kanye had her dress just like Kim all the way down to the Kim wig,' one fan commented on Daily Mail's article on the risqué exhibition. Another suggested that Bianca's frequent racy displays were the result of 'low self esteem'. 'Bianca either has really low self esteem and she doesn't think she deserves better than being bossed around by her husband or she likes being told what to do and the attention she gets, she is unstable like her husband,' they suggested. A third chimed in with a similar: 'He probably makes her wear a cardboard mask with Kim's face on it, looks like she's gone and got hair extensions to match too.'
