Columbian singer Shakira, who is also of Lebanese origin, has recently announced that she will be singing Fairuz’s famous song ‘Ateni Alnaya Wa Ghani’ – Give me the flute & sing –.
Shakira will be singing the famous song in Arabic & will also give it a re-mix.

There was a great hype about the last movie of late Egyptian actor Ahmad Zaki, Halim, about the life of the great Egyptian singer Abdel Halim Hafeth.
But it seems the hype was not in its place!
Young actor Haitham Ahmad Zaki is now in a state of depression after the movie turned out to be less than expected! There wasn't enough audience turn-out & their feedback wasn't as positive as expected.

Algerian Reem Al Ghazali is being threatened with a huge law suit by Lebanese channel LBC!
Reem seems to have blurted out all the behind the camera secrets of the reality TV show LBC Star Academy to some Algerian newspapers & magazines.
Reem accused the program's director of being biased towards Lebanese contestants & of accepting 'under the table' deals.
LBC has threatened Reem with a law suit & possibly jail if she didn't stop her accusations.
Go reem go reem she is right...
Shadi from lebanon
I was wondering what Shakira thought about all of this. I thought she wasn't going to do anything but I expected her too..... ;)
Way to go reem...That LBC (Low Backstabbing Criminal) should know that no one is going to shut up for them...just like how they had reem a nominee for 6 times and mohamad ibrahm 3 times, they should get all the money they need from the khaleej and mahgreb for all the law suies they want to have against any one. these people, espaecially rula, should learn how to live their livs in a better way, and manage getting their money in a decent nd sufficieant way like all the other channels....way to go reem...hope all the others do the same exact thing you did...
I knew the LBC would do that sooner or later. After all, the purpose of the program since its launch two years ago was to milk more money from the audience especially from the Gulf and not to mention how they discriminated between the candidates based on their nationlities. Reem is not only one who spoke out against them, Mohamad Fahad, Mohamad Al Shukri and Jehan did the sameand perhaps more.
but shakira doesnt speak arabic how can she sing arabic? or she is just gonna take pronounciation classes? i dont like her anyways, her voice is so manly but nice body lol
mr.justice-
shakira can speak arabic but not fluently. they have also showed a video of her last week on the Univison spanish channel when she was 11 years old singing arabic and bellydancing.
Go Reem!!! Stupid LBC you finally get to go down.. GOO REEM!!!
You are 100% correct!
Your biggest fan in the universe and i have to admit also Shadi!! Sorry for fighting with you before Shadi!!
GO REEEEEMM!
Heeey everyone ,
Well about the shakira thing i think this is so nice from her i mean she is originally labanese and it will be an easier way to show others and europe how do we all feel sorry for the labanese people and we are defending them keep going Shakira(Y)
About ahmed zaki and abdulhalim . Well, i saw the movie twice till now it is FANTASTIC! i was really touched , there is abig contract in the stories of abdulhalim and ahmed zaki i mean both were from poor families and both were orphans and both suffered to reach what they wanted abdulhalim and his career of singing , ahmed zaki and the acting thing and they both died by stupid freaking diseases cancer and belharesya i swear i cried 4 times in da movie it is really so touching people just think that they are using ahmed zaki in da movie but hell nooo it is wonderful u will adore the movie i swear
Then about Reem heeey guys ento lesa 3arfeen i mean we all know what is happening infront of the cameras and they arent showing it and she isnt the first one hisham staracademy 2 winner also said many things they were hidding that's it
whatever, shakira is a fake. when she is on TV she is always talking about her columbian roots and her spanish ways and always seems to forget to mention her arab/lebanies side. just like salma hayek(half leb) and now she wants to steal the spot light and sing for lebonon. i am tired of the these celeberties who care all of a sudden. she can go take her lying hips somewherelse and sing.
as for reem,
i love reem but i dont think she should break contract rules tell all. i know she is doing it only because she is mad she was kicked out, and yes she was mistreated. but she should let go and not take it out on LBC. she should be thankful she got this far and she is now a star even if she didnt make it to the finals. reem habibty let it go. your a beauty and you will always be remembered.
i also think shakira wants some more money and attention thats why she suddenly remembered her roots. whatever the case is, she is not gonna make me listen to her, with that manly and sometimes even scary voice of hers.
one more thing for whoever said israel is at the litani...dont u remember how they were in Beint jebil couple weeks ago and then within days they escaped so same thing will happen...they are there in litani but they are still fighting...
To all u jealous people if you dont like the LBC...dont talk about it. How about you tell your own couuntry to make its own singing programs but wait sorry noone is going to watch it too boring and second of all they wont let the contestants sing cos their so strict for their religion.
So guess what if you dont like it noone cares live with it and go live with reem in jail the ugliest girl in the word.
GO LBC U ROCK!!!!
I hate reemmm and i was so happy with wat they did to her and seriously she will not get anywhere she is so stupid and arogant. I hope the LBC do sumfing to her. She is the most jealous and ugliest girl in the world.
looooooooool her voice is manly now that you mention it.... ;)
reem hater... i think they have their own music channels, all those rotanas, ghinwas, strikers etc
foofoo:) what are u doin here? lol go reply me in that "smile to bombs" post!
I did, mr. justice...
Thnx 3aziz very much...and i wanna tell reem hater that u are jealous of reem's fans and popularity which no one in the acaemy has half her popularity and how could chaymaa beat reem...how stupid rola saad was when she lied to us by letting us think that chaymaa who dont have half reem's popularity won...GO GO GO REEM FINALLY GAMES IS OVER LBC...
Shadi from Lebanon
go go shakira!!!!!you rock!!!!
i just think this is a very nice thing to do..this way,the whole world will be sure that lebanon is the nation of peace and civilization!!!go ahead shakira and make us proud!!!!manal*
ooh please why are we jealous of reem, her voice stinks and she's not that beautiful, the only reagreat for lbc was that they put her in star academy in the first place they should've gotten a better person who sings well.. reem should be glad that they let her in the show, if she wasn't who would even notice her or take a second glance at her, All the contests aren't noticable if LBC hadn't made Star Academy, you people wounldn't even know them. please give me a break.
Leila You Rock!!! Couldnt have said it better myself.
All in favor of Reem going to jail say I.
I think Shakira is the most hard working and rapidly growing artist at present. I don't want to sound mean but she deserves what shes getting...any way, I think she is doing great as to give respect to her arab roots by singing the famous Leb song.....
You rock!!! Shakira- Shakira!
I love you Reem so much I like you your song. good luck.
Reem and Shakira you're the best!!!!
hi....2 all reem fans there somethin u should know...reem wuz ugly her voice sucks and she is a jealouse girl, and then LBC is better den any brodcasting channel found in Algeria or in any other Arabic country. If u don't lyk it don't watch it but that is ur lose cuz u will never watch a arabic show with such a high standerds n yes u r jealouse cuz a lebanese guy 1 so u ecuse us of cheatting..no we didn't cheat every1 in lebanon and khaleeg voted daily even tunis.
Reem is lair .. how can she know about any deal wut r they shouting them out in the coridorres of the academy or is she a witch she can here from de walls. She is inpolite. All u reem fans are jealouse of lebanon and it's programs if u don't lyk don't watch don't complain when reem goes 2 jail. Jail is a great place 4 people lyk her.
If the Shakira news is true, that is wonderful of her. Shakira has always represented her Lebanese background. Belly dancing didn't come from Colombian! It's natural that she'd have an affinity to Colombia because that is where she lived and grew up. Her Lebanese father was born in New York and lived in Latin America most of his life. If you look up past news article about Shakira, you know she has come to the defense of the West's perceptions of arabs. She is very pround to be Lebanese and arab.
If this is true, good for Shakira!
goooooooo reem u desrve 2 be one of the finelest and go 2 the tour and lbc started 2 cheat sicne the 2nd season!
