The title sounds strange, but it sure is somewhat true!
A serious decision has been taken by the Saudi authorities to come up with a second flag for Saudi Arabia … one that presents the most significant aspects of Saudi Arabia as a symbol of union so that it could be used in sports events and other occasions.

Tonight prime had more tension than any other prime, there were scandals, fights and it became very unpleasant, nasty, vicious, but of course, there were good moments. The guests were Amal Hijazi and Massari who sang a few of their hit songs. Reportage was shown regarding how the responses were from Taunt Mona, the mums and the family. Then, the sweet newborn baby Joseph came to the prime
Following that, reportage was shown regarding Lina how she found a wedding dress, the hairstyle, the make up but yet no man! However, she did find her mum to being a guest to tonight’s prime as her mum made a big movement for people to vote for her daughter Lina in Paris. The big movement did work as Lina received the highest amount of votes. Here are he results in order from highest to lowest:

It seems action movies have really affected people’s minds. Due to the conflict between the two famous singers; Rola Saad and Haifa Wehbe, a lot of people assumed that it is Rola Saad who paid the driver of the airplane to crash into the car that Haifa Wehbe was driving during the video shoot. The rumor said that Rola paid the airplane’s driver $600,000 !!

Mr. Ayman El Halawany, Generel Producer of Rotana, totally denied that Hala Sarhan was let off by Rotana and that she is just spending a period of relaxation after her health troubles and the recent scandal of the prostitutes show and assured that she will be back soon.

Shatha Hassoun the winner of Star Academy season 4 visited the house last night, she was welcomed by everyone. They sang, asked questions and showed her the house.

Shatha asked the girls numerous questions including, “how do you find this show or what did you discover?”
Fatima (leb) said that she learned new things and things happened that she never expected.
Aya said it has been the best (“ahla”) thing in her life.
Pousy said that it’s been a nice thing to discover new people. In her normal life, she doesn’t manage to do this because of work. However, she really likes it and meeting new mums, girls and boys, especially from different cultures.

No one can deny the fact that the Internet has opened up a bigger world and wider opportunities for people of all ages. In the online realm everyone are equal. Celebrities and ordinary people alike have all the right to say what they want and reveal what they want. Every one of us has the innate desire to share something of ourselves to others…to reach out and I think this is why networking sites have become so popular. There is just something about belonging to a certain community in the web even though you’ve just interacted with them virtually.

These are some photos of Amal with her manager and friends at a resturant in Lebanon a few weeks before leaving to Morroco.

There has been a recent epidemic of channels with so called ‘sorcerers’ who either tell the future or coach you to commit acts of black magic via the TV. Finally, the Arabsat network has started doing something about that! After this epidemic upset many men of religion, the network has threatened several channels that broadcast such programs that they will be kicked out of the network if they do not seize this inappropriate activity. Kahlid Ben Ahmed EL Khayoor an official at Arabsat claimed that strict action will be taken over the next two weeks against channels that do not stop broadcasting such mumbo jumbo!

Perfect Bride Mums SMS night was a mix of good and bad between the mums and the comments regarding people’s messages. It lasted for about an hour, most messages were for Taunt Kholoud, which were mostly complimenting.

Taunt Kholoud (the problem with taunt Kholoud is that her answers are quite long, you may have noticed, so I don’t catch on everything she says.)
Responses included:

We have all heard about Elissa's hate-hate relationship with the press, well it seems lately they have had another clash.
Apparently a journalist is accusing Elissa of assault during the filming of the latest prime of the program Album. According to this particular journalist, he followed Elissa after she finished her onstage appearance to assess her opinion regarding the teams competing. Upon him entering her room, she yells at him to get out saying no one is allowed inside and requests from her companion that he be removed, which the former does forcibly!!
