Salma Ghazali personal photos as a little girl with her sister Reem Ghzali

Salma Ghazali personal photos as a little girl with her sister Reem Ghzali

First let me show you a photo of Rym and Salma that I’m pretty sure that you’ve never seen before. The picture above is taken inside their home in Algeria and Salma here is barely five years old while Reem is around three years old. I have to admit that Salma looks the same, same innocence in her eyes. Check out the latest pictures of Salma and Reem Ghazali

We almost watch Reem Ghazali every day on LBC entertainment puzzels show “Alo Meen” this Ramadan, and she’s doing a relatively good job “don’t forget that she barely speaks arabic”. But Salma seems to keep a low profile these days due to her pregnancy.

Bashar Ghazawi and Salma Ghazali got married in August 2005 and currently expecting a baby boy next month. Salma was busy getting her first musical album ready for release when the happy news of her pregnancy arrived. During last month summer festival in Amman Jordan, Salma and Bashar performed through a live outdoor concert that was jammed with fans of all ages. Bashar was first to take the stage and later came Salma with all smiles. She happened to wear a kind of loose top that hid her baby bump. In the photos below you can see that she also was wearing a streching pink shorts. This is the latest picture available of Salma while pregnant, I hope you like it.

Guess who’s dressed up in Ramadan?

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

We’ve heard many rumors of “Ibrahim and Basma” as a couple after Yahia Sweis from Jordan left the competition of last season of LBC Star academy. But as far as Yahia is concerned, he commented on these rumors with a smile and with sentences that managed to put these rumors down. As for Yahia, Basma was the closest to him during the competition and she’s still his closest friend of all the students tat got to share almost three months of his life with. After Ibrahim and Basma managed to make it through the last week of the academy, to be two of the final four students, many fans have started to feel an emotional click between them. But we’ve seen Ibrahim in Lebanon as well as in Egypt after show ended where he happened to meet Michel Azzi, Rmeih, Nazem, and offcourse Lara and Bash.

Above is the latest photos of Basma and Ibrahim during this Ramadan. Ibrahim was spotted eating his Ramadan meal at one of the local restaurants in Kuwait while wearing the traditional Kuwaiti outfit. Basma poses above wearing the cutest yellow dress ever which she stylishly matched with a sun hat.

Haifa Wehbe arrives at Adma LBC building for Il Maestro talk show on September 17th 2009 in Ramadan

Haifa Wehbe arrives at Adma LBC building for Il Maestro talk show on September 17th 2009 in Ramadan

There is absolutely no doubt that Haifa is currently one of the most well-known Arab singers around the world, and regardless of how we’d judge her musical talents, we are definitely proud to announce that Haifa will be performing at the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony.  Coca-Cola has recently offered the Lebanese singer to participate in the huge event of the FIFA World Cup to be the first Arab singer standing on the green field.

Haifa was interviewed live by Neshan on the LBC ramadan Talk show program “Il Maestro” on September 17th 2009. Haifa expressed her happiness with her current husband, the Egyptain businessman, Ahmed Abo Hashima, where she added that their relationship is based on love, understanding, and a strong base of frienship. Later at the show, a phone call from Emarati singer Ahlam was full of comments and sweet talk, describing Haifa as the one and only star in the Arab World.

An arrest warrant was issued against Lebanese singer Ziad Burgy yesterday due to a filed police accusation. According to Adel Matouk, a producer and a business man, the singer is guilty for car theft and forgery of documents, noting that the car mentioned has once been the property of late singer Suzanne Tamim!!

Legal judiciary issues between both Borjy and Matouk have been going on and on for months now.A final court verdit has never been issued regarding legal singed contract terms that were never implemented leaving Borji with false promises of money never paid. Matouk failed to pay Ziad his share of various concerts which finally left him with no choice but to offer him a GMC car as a reconciliation. Ziad accepted, but discovered later that there are no registered legal papers defending his rights of the car nor any whitnesses to prove him right!

What’s with the photos of Haifa Whehbe “Before and After” fame!

Monday, September 14th, 2009

The major interest of Haifa’s past is somewhat exagerated. And whether its searching for her old pictures, being interested in the plastic surgery controversy, her marriages’ rumors, her ex-husband drama, or even searching for a picture of her daughter Zainab. It all pours into the same “curiosity” bucket. Haifa’s private life is currently exposed to the public just as any other celebrity, but what makes this lady a major target in Arab Middle East countries is simply her charisma as well as her popularity among the male-troupes of society.

YES! Let’s just admit it, if a girl is extremely dipped into admiring Haifa, it is then either out of pure lets-share-intersect-with-boys or simply out of carrying the SEE-I’m-not-jealous-of-Haifa attitude. Both reasons are justified, specially that they add to Hayfa’s popularity scale. But what’s with the absolute nonsense of sewing her own private issues with her entertaining talents! Why do we care if her daughter Zainab wears the veil or not or if she approves of her mothers’ singing career or not?

I have come across a picture of Haifa’s daughter recently. Most probably this photo of Zainab is not authentic, but lets just say it is the real photo of Haifa Wehbe’s daughter for the sake of the argument. Honestly, I can’t see how a fan would spend hours on the net searching for this girl’s picture just to know how she looks like! What for? It might make sense if its just out of trying to guess how Haifa looked when she was a child, but this is sadly not the case because we already have pictures of Haifa when she was a little girl!
