Wow! She always said no one knew anything about her, didn't she.

that was was her famous name, her real name is katia. also amany, leila, mira, sophia, and bruno had c.d's out, all katia did was be in studio el fan!

LOL, so she had a contract when she was young
she probably didnt tell LBC , but its still funny, i dont think it will play to her disadvantage, going to a music school before applying is kinda unfair if u ask me
anyway she's still salbeh :)

She might have participated in Studio El Fan. Most of the participants in star-academy have already had some experience in the show business. Zizi for example has been singing since she was a kid. Have hou ever heard of the magazine (al-nahda)? I have not. It might be true but it might also be a fabricated story. It is so easy to create something like this using several softwares. What appears to be weird is that the article mentions that she was already famous and I have never heard about her and never seen her before star-academy.

old news

anyone of you guys live in california?

oh!!she never told about it..what a surprise but how couldn't the lebanese recognize her???

she is shallow & as much as the Star Academy teachers and rula try to polish her image by shedding all lights on her ...mo nafe3 ..

ya3ni with or without a mole ..she is so plain ..and she managed to use what happened on the political arena in lebanon to the max ..

and top of the students? were they dreaming when they gave her th efirst place ....

l0o0o0olz that shows the low credibility of the academy seniors .....

ZIZi always manage to outshine her ...

All of Jordan are with ZIZI & Samer ..the real gentleman ....

by the way she is very G from Salma & zizi ..it shows ...mnee7 enno el qeisy mehmelha ...

pack your stuff girl ..go to a sleazy night club and sing there ...ya baree2a ...

eeeek big time .....

The picture in the article is different, El Chammah in Katia's face is in different places. How Come??

what is this , is she playing with us ,first she told that she is 23 then we found that she is 26 biger than salma ( i lv lv lv u salma ) then it must be new not old stock in singing and she had contract also . she is playing in boys heart although she is sooooo ugly .LBC u must get her out out out and give chanse for truly new singer.what r u saying now MOHAMED .

Very strange
I have NEVER heard of her neither saw her in my life before star academy.
Someone pointed out the change in the place of her mole in the picture of that article. Yes indeed? How's that? Could it be reversed on Adobe Photoshop program?
But WALEG you never cease to amaze me, you always manage to find interesting articles and dig up facts. Way to go babes!

NO ONE CAN REALIZE THAT THE MOLE IN THE ARTICLE IS IN DIFFERENT PLACES OR WHAT? NO ONE CAN EVEN NOTICE IT.

IN THE UPPER PICTURE IT IS IN THE LEFT CHEEK AND THE OTHER PICTURE IT IS IN THE RIGHT CHEEK.

why is Katia playing whit bashar Q 's feelings ?!?!?!?!i know she likes him and try to hide it.

ohh,my lovely beesho, i fell sorry for you.

i hate her

i hope she go out next week
boooooooo katia

why is Katia playing whit bashar Q
so please katia go to home

Dear Petty & Marcella_Lebanon,

We noticed too the different places of the mole on Katia's picture on the top left of the article... It might be strange for you but its something magazines editors always do :)!

Sometimes they change the picture by rotating it horizontally to fit the page layout better.

Unless the celebrity or someone’s picture has some marks, it’s sometimes difficult to tell that it’s being rotated.

in the old days, when you took a picture it was developed on negatives :) If you turn a negative ove r when you develop it, you get a mirror image. So that's why the mole is in different places, like looking in the mirror.

anyone know if there is a good lebanese political blog that is discussing the current events?

regards

Chere Sarah,
je dois admettre que jusqu'a cette heure si je n'ai absolument aucune idee qui d'entre les etudiants peut decrocher le titre de Star 2005 a la Starac.
Moi personellement j'adore la voix d'Amani et son allure mais elle se lamente et pleurniche trop a mon avis, et ceci peut fortment ne pas etre en sa faveur.
La voix de Zizi n'est pas mal non plus mais elle est trop "ethnique" selon moi. Elle a un look trop egyptien et elle n'a pas un halo de star a mon avis.
J'adore les prestations de Ahmed le Koweitien. Un visage et une voix tres agreables mais il est encore un peu timide et je n'y vois pas une personalite de grand star. Mais la' on peut y travailler.
Il y a de fortes chances que le star pourrait etre Hisham. Je ne suis pas une fan mais il semble que les gens votent pour les clowns...

De toute facon, notre fameux astrologue Michel Hayek avait predit qu'une fille decrochera le titre de star cette annee et qu'elle chanterait au niveau international... L'unique a l'academie capable de bien chanter en arabe et en langues etrangeres est surement Katia, mais je ne crois pas vraiment qu'elle y arrivera.
C'est tout.

TO WALEG
Here comes the proper nouns corrector again! :)
Katia's family name is not Harka or Haraka it's written Harake or Harakeh.
Thank you

she is a very very very BIG FOOLISH LAIR
i hate u katiaaaaa soooo muchh

I think Katia has a very nice body. Her problem is that her face is fricken ugly.

I think Katia is a nice person.

You'd be a fool if you believed this magazine story; it is pure fabrication, as well as a doctored or superimposed picture of Katia! Don't be naive.

BTW, the "juice" is back to Starac since Bisho came back; things were dead and borrrrrrring without him, don't u think?

lies!it's all lies because everyone that i know
didn't knew her before star academy(isha3ah)!!

I love all the students and I really wish them the best of luck. About Katia, we are not sure if this is true or not, and even if it was true, so what, she's still a person that is trying to improve, there is no reason for people to talk bad about her!

The truth is I used to like her alot, but I dont approve of what she's doing with Jihad and Bashar! To me I think that she is afraid to loose Jihad, but at the same time she likes Bashar! I feel bad for her, and I dont hate her, I really wish she changes her way and thinking! Please do Katia, because your voice is getting better, but its not nice what ou are doing ot both.

IIIIIIIIIIII Love Ahmed H, he is sooooooo I mean soooooooo sweet and cute. Oh God, he is very emotional, I assume he is very Romantic! PLus he has a prefect Look.

I love all of them , really
so plz all, just wish them luck and dont talk bad about them

I agree with nunu. I think Katia is afraid of losing Jihad and she likes Bashar. I am not sure however what she can do different. She has been avoiding Bashar and I would have done the same. She doesn't want to create more problems. I bet she is going to tell Bashar that she doesn't like him. It is very hard to be filmed 24 hours.

THE ARTICLE ON KATIA IS SOOOOOOO FAKE!! first of all..like people said,the mole is in the wrong place...second of all...how can her head..be twisted that way..when her body is sideways..i dont get it..its obvious you put her face on someone else in the magazine..or actually..i dont even think the magazine exists...its ALL fake...and one thing,Katia is not playing both of them...shes not even talking to Bashar because she doesnt want to hurt anyone...she even said..that Jihad is like her uncle,her dad, and her brother...but it doesnt mean its her lover...so she can like Bashar if she wants!!! leave her ALONE!!..why dont you all pick on Salma and Bashar Ghazawi huh?? like Katia said..Salma got attached to Bashar G..and she got attached to Bashar K..what is wrong with that...i am Lebanese..and i am with Katia ALL THEY WAY AND I HOPE SHE WINS...and for the Lebanese who are talking bad about her..dont even call yourself Lebanese...dont you want her to win!! so you can say to the other countries that LEBANON IS THE BEST!!! LEBANON WILL LIVE FOREVER!!!i know i love Lebanon and i love Katia....GOOO KATIA..I AM WITH YOU ALL THE WAY!!!

If Katia only likes Jihad as a brother or uncle (!), what's the big fuss then? She can fall in love with anyone she likes! I think Bisho is willing to give her a shot, probably 4getting about his Parisian girlfriend; besides, Lebanese girls are quite rare and the most beautiful in the world. All Arab men prefer and would love to marry Lebanese women! Even King Solomon--who had over 300 wives--only chose his Lebanese bride over all others when he said in his book Song of Songs (OT): "Come with me my spouse, from Lebanon come with me..."
Honk if you agree! ;-)

i heard that when LBC found out about Randa's videoclip they chose her to be a nominee because they didnt want people with cds or songs to be in star academy because they want people with a new begining..How come its ok for KATIA??
its so unfair..

Cayenne,

If the story is true, Katia's CD was not released. This might be the difference.

Wow, people have no life making up all these rumours.
+Why's the mole at 2 different places in the picture?
I'm lebanese & I've never heard of Yasmina & I'm sure most of you didn't either, probably because it's just a rumour that people make up so they can feel like they did something but all they're doing is wasting their time comming up with all these ridiculous stories.
Waleg you shouldn't have posted that without proof.

+Katia's 24, not 26.

hey guys,
i think the article about katia is fake. first of all ive never heard of yasmine second of all i live in lebanon and i have never seen katia till she entered staracademy! i really think the article is fake they should have not even posted it! you can tell that katia and jihad are boyfriend and girlfriend you can even tell remember when in the prime jihad held up the sign that said i love you katia, so he really loves her as a realashionship. however katia and bashar are cute togethter but i think katia is playing on both of them. she should just pick the boy she truly loves! im from lebanon so i am with katia just cause shes from my Balaad.. so i hope she solves her problems and stays in the top 8.(cause they should have someone from lebanon in the top 8 that represents lebanon..hopefully its samer cause he represents lebanon better then katia.
......................g2g bbye kisses from liban girlll

before we go accusing Katia, I would like to say to all those who accused her of hiding things. did you notice the picture on the report??? that is a recent picture. so you wanna tell me that Katia has not changed in the last 5 years since Studio el Fan was last aired back in 2000??? come on, give her a little credit.
Besides, even if she was a singer, so what??? she is talented and very energetic. Go Katia GO.

I would just like to say to all those people who are writing hurtful comments about Katia: Don't you think after she leaves the academy, she just might read these comments. As much as you might not like her, its hurtful to see comments like these about yourself. As for me, I admire Katia for her beautiful voice and beautiful personality. She's energetic and hard working. Her personal life is none of our business. VIVA LEBANON!

u guys will never grow up u always say stuff about people thats not true + its not katia because the mol in her face in the two pic are in differant sides
so grow up people she is a nice girl

Regarding Yasmina's Picture, if you concentrate on the second picture where it shows the mole in the right side as Katia's is, you will see that the whole face is put inside the hair, the way that her face is very straight and looking at the camera does not match the way she is sitting, there should be a small angle on her face too, it is clear that it is too fake

hey PPLZ!! this article saying that Katia was called Yasmina, is a fake made up story! if yoread the article and look and the photos you will see so many differences from not only the 2 photos that are available in the article but also from the REAL katia! i The photos have been edited by photo shop its a clear point!!
i just want to add that i do really care for katia and wish her the best of luck and also to samer and salma to bashar Qazawi and hisham and to the rest of the star academy students... I also am happy with the return on bashar Alqaisi the acadmey is back flashing and hope he get with katia i wreckon they suit ..enshalla katia gets over the thought that jihad will get upset and go for Bashar! anywayz guyz thats all from me catch u laterz BYEZ
