U.S. television celebrity Kim Kardashian brought out screaming fans, angry Muslim hard-liners and police throwing stun grenades on Saturday (December 1) when she visited Bahrain to launch a milkshake franchise, witnesses said.

About 100 demonstrated with banners outside store and 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 1,360 dollars (USD) a ticket, broke into hysterical screams as the 32-year-old celebrity launched the Millions of Milkshakes franchise inside the mall.

The "Twilight" teen vampire movie shined again at U.S. and Canadian box offices, earning another 17.4 million and its third consecutive No. 1 ranking.
