We would like to announce a correction; the names and the 2 published pictures of the contestants mentioned earlier on WALEG were a mistake.

Stay tuned for the correct names of the actual new contestants/ students of LBC Star Academy 2.

Read all about the LBC Star Academy students, who are the 16 new contestants? Their names, photos and countries tonight on WALEG.com

You will be able to watch their first appearance on LBC Channel at 18:30 GMT.

"Eddam el Kel" a new video clip of a new talent "Darine Hadchiti" on Melody. Notice that in this clip eyes aren't shocked by the cuts and the chronlogy of the scens, and the most important thing is that in this clip we are putting the voice and the music in the first plan and the carisma of Darine came to complete the clip and put on it a special touch of a romantic and cute girl.

According to Elaph, satellite channel Melody Hits has banned Tunisian singer/dancer Najla and Egyptian dancer/singer Boosy Samer video clips from being televised on the channel. They have been accused of having erotic and seductive video clips

Melody Hits Music Channel said the decision came not from censorship. The fans of the channel wrote and called the channel for the songs to be taken off the air. Since the channel is number one in many Arab countries; therefore, the pressure was high.

Celebrate the special occasion of the New Year 2005 by posting messages and greetings to your friends, family and your loved ones across the globe and wish them a very Happy New Year :)

After 15 weeks, 16 contestants have returned to their normal lives and families.
We saw them in very simple conditions in Kenya ... and now we see them as they are in their every day life.
I was shocked to see them on the final episode of LBC Survivor, they look so different ... i especially liked Hala from Lebanon, she looked so cute and actually very beautiful, she is also pregnant and expecting a baby boy...

Hi all, I wanna say that Jad Choueiry this guy who qualify himslef as a director, copy the pictures and movies from pornos sites (fantasy) and insert them in his clips with some cut of nudity and scenes that can't pass on TV. So thank you to this angel man, who open our children's eyes to deviation and erotic sex and desires!!! But be sure all these bad things won't live a long time, they will disappear soon.

• Maria … Betekdeb Allaya !

This is such an awesome idea. I am a US exchange student living in Tunisia, and I've learned so much about the Arab culture. We need this idea to get started because the things we see on TV have nothing to do with the reality. I think that everyone should be an exchange student sometime in thier life, but this group idea is definitely the next best thing!!!! Just do it!

Thank you Cerena for sharing your thoughts about the Group Idea with us.

New Year's Eve has always been a time for looking back to the resolutions taken in the past, which some how remained unfulfilled and more importantly, forward to the coming year’s resolution, about those you feel confident enough to accomplish. It's a perfect time to reflect on the changes we want to or need to make and resolve to follow through on those changes. Resolutions if carried out successfully not only act as short term goals to success but also help in improving your life and overcoming those habits which you yourself do not like.

We often want to improve or quit some habit related to health, behavior, weight, exercise, occupation and income. Do you also want to have a resolution for the year 2005, lets us help you out:

Before taking a resolution:

- Keep your resolution concisely in writing, so that you be sure what exactly you want to do.
- Think and be confident to carry it out for the whole year.

We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Boosy Samer & Najla ain't that bad.... They are just a pawn endorsing the show business policy that says 'Sex Sells'... If such so-called disturbing images make people constipate it's because they're nervous of showing that they're actually interested in such things.

Let's not try to be better hyprocrites when, as human beings, we already are like that to some extent... And for God's sake, why relate such shit to your religions... If that's the case, why did God create Adam naked?... I'm not tryin to refute or rebuke anybody's beliefs but it's best for all parties not to mix religion with some badly made music video... In a matter of fact, I didn't find anything seductive in a couple of half-naked titties...

The singer Maria has done it again …
Maria has released a new video clip for the song “Betekdeb Allaya”, and what a video clip it is! If you thought her last clip “El’ab” was provocative, you should really see what Jad Shoueri did with this one!

Candles, candles every where ...
Scented oils enough to spare ...
Make my night a dream come true ...
All my joy i owe to you .

This might be a magic spell, or just a small rhyme to tickle your mind...

First of all I wanna thank LBC channel for this beautiful program. But I got an Idea for the last episode which supposed to take place at Lebanon, I think viewers should participate in deciding the survivor. Because after watching the last episode this weekend I got a feeling that the other 7 members will try to revenge and will not vote for the one who deserve to be the survivor...
