Tonight the prime was very special because it's guest of honor was Lebanese singer Carol Samaha and because the main theme of the defile was 'Bridal Gowns'.
The prime kicked off with a performance from Samaha, the display of the two nomination dresses, designed by the brothers Joe and Michael! Personally, i liked Joe's design more. It was more creative and colorful than that of Michael's! Sorry Man!
It was then time for another display of Elie Saab's designs, this time an exclusive Spring/Summer 2008 collection ... The dresses were absolutely stunning, each piece to die for! The yellow is so fresh and happy, the green so vibrant! I loved the green dress that Amina wore! It's just absolutely out of this world! Elie, you're a genius!

These are some pictures from the third prime of LBC TV Bellydance Championship.

The World Bellydance Championship prime tonight kicked off with a song and performance from Lebanese singer Miriam Fares.
Then it was time for the 10 bellydancers to strut their stuff on stage ... So, I'm not going to say how they did, but I'm going to give each one a mark out of 5 ... and it's only my personal opinion as a viewer!
So, here it goes:
Layla from Ukraine - 3
Maria from Lebanon - 2
Maira from Brazil - 4
Malika from Russia - 3
Rana from Lebanon - 3

The next 5 after the jump

Only one day separates us from one of the most important beauty pageants held annually ... the Miss World pageant!
Saturday in the resort city of Sanya in china, 100 beautiful women compete for the title of Miss World 2007.
The women have arrived in Sanya in November and have participated in a number of charity events and festivals. They are also preparing for the important night.
This year the concentration is not on the beauty of the face or body only, but more on the beauty of the character and personality.
This year, from the Arab world, Miss Lebanon Nadine Njeim is present and may have a good chance at the title. She is known for her humanitarian work and presence at charity events.

These are some photos from the opening night of Cairo International Film Festival 2007.

Cairo Film Festival opened yesterday with a showing of the British movie "Death at a Funeral".
Amid controversy, CIFF is seeking to regain its place as the Arab world's international cinematic meeting point after it has been crowded by two important festivals, Morocco's Marakesh film festival and Dubai film festival.
The most talked about aspect of the grand opening wasn't the Arab movies and the other 19 international films from 16 countries, which are competing for the Golden Pyramid ... but the outfits on the red carpet!
Actresses and media figures arrived at the red carpet in revealing gowns and bold designs that turned heads and generated question marks!
While Egyptian actresses Laila Elwi and Yusra both sported stunning gowns, perfect for the event, others wore outrageous choices!

This week the nominees from the models are:
Abir from Tunisia, for the 3rd time & Myriam from Egypt, for the 1st time.
As for the best Model this week, Amina from Morocco.

As for the designers, it was a surprise for all to hear that both Joe and Micheal are nominees!
It seems it's a war between the brothers now! It's going to be difficult to chose!
I mean, who will their family members vote for?!

I just have to mention that the evaluation mission for the designers; to make a corset, was extremely difficult!
The one to nail the mission was Khaled (he made a corset for Amina) ... his work was excellent and his explanation of the piece was very pro!
By the way, he's the designer of the week!
Congrats Khaled!

Meet 19-year-old Najwa ... a Moroccan girl with loads of dreams and ambitions. Her dream is to get accepted for LBC Star Academy 5 and start her way up the ladder of fame!
Najwa has a good chance of getting accepted; she likes belly dancing, acting and singing ... we can't deny that she's absolutely beautiful too!
According to Panet, Najwa stood in line for the casting in Morocco, went in, gave it her best and she says the feedback is positive ... But the question remains: Will she go to Beirut or not?
Only a couple of weeks left and we'll know the answer.
Good Luck Najwa!

Who do you think will be the nominees today?

If destiny has something in store for you, nothing can stop it! Definitely not with Pepper Spray!
Ingrid Marie Rivera, who was second runner-up in the Miss World 2005 contest, became Miss Puerto Rico 2008.
She made it through many difficulties ... it's just like a movie; come on, lets spice up that girl's make-up with pepper spray, and while we're at it, let's spike her gown too!
Ingrid put on a strong face in front of the judges, but back-stage was a horrid and painful experience! She had to take off her clothes and apply ice bags on her face and body, which swelled and broke out in a horrid rash twice!
Everyone thought it was stress, allergic reaction or nerves ... but then it was obvious, that was no coincidence!
Her make-up and dress tested positive for pepper spray!

Pop Star Ramy Ayach is the epitome of success to many of his fans ... great songs, great video clips, great albums and a successful tour.
Now, after a long silence, after some rest, Ayach returns with a new single, Ashtag Elak.
Ayach performed this 'Khaliji' song during last week's 6th prime of Mission Fashion on LBC.
We congratulate Ayach on this new song and wish him more success for the future.
