• Syrian singer Asalah Nasri has finally decided to release her new Khaliji video clip, La Tekhaf, after the Eid festivals. After meeting with great success in the Gulf without even a video clip, Asalah believed it was time to honor it with one. Asalah recently celebrated her brother's wedding also where she sang duets with her sister. Asalah's next (Egyptian) album is expected in mid-2008.

• After a successful (and loud!) night on Hala Sarhan's Qannat Khams Nojoum show with Bahraini presenter Amira, Lebanese Studio El Fan graduate Fares Karam has begun plans to shoot his next single Khetyar Elli Aal Akazeh. Fares will also be busy with numerous concerts during the Eid festivals, he will be performing in Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan.

• Egyptian Star Academy alumni Zizi Adel is riding on a tide of success with her second video clip, Wahda Tanya, and appeared with Mona Zaki on Qannat Khams Nojoum also. She is currently in the studio picking songs for her follow-up sophomore album. She has chosen five songs so far, but no new writers, composers, or arrangers yet.

• Algerian singer Fella Ababsa (or "Al Jazairia" as she prefers to be called) has decided to shoot her next single, the very Egyptian Lamma Ra'ayto, with Said El Marouk's... Wife! Yes, Said will take a secondary role in the making of the video clip because his wife will be sitting in the director's seat this time!

• After becoming the theme song of a perfume carrying the same name, Nancy Ajram will be shooting Meshtaga Leik soon with Lebanese director Mirna Khayat. The song will be the first Khaliji song she has shot, and it will also be her first collaboration with Mirna Khayat.

• On a final note, advertising for Jannat's Bahebbak video clip has begun also on Melody channels.
