Television celebrity Kim Kardashian brought out screaming fans, angry Muslim hardliners and police throwing stun grenades on Saturday when she visited Bahrain to launch a milkshake franchise, witnesses said.

About 100 Sunni Salafists demonstrated with
banners outside The Walk Bahrain, an upmarket
mall in the capital Manama, after some MPs tried to block the visit over what they called her "bad reputation", according to a local newspaper.

Thousands of fans, who had paid up to 500
Bahraini dinars ($1,360) a ticket, broke into
hysterical screams as the 32-year-old celebrity
launched the Millions of Milkshakes franchise
inside the mall.

Witnesses said police dispersed the
demonstrators with stun grenades as the
inauguration proceeded inside. There were no
reports of casualties.

Kardashian stirred controversy even before she
arrived in Bahrain from Kuwait, where she opened another store last week.
