We all know that Ruby’s manager and director for all her video clips is Dr. Sherif Sabri but it seems that he is tired of her because he has sold her to Waleed Mustafa. The name Waleed Mustafa may sound familiar and that is because he owns one of the biggest and most exclusive beaches in Marina ‘La Plage’. Nobody knows how much exactly Ruby cost Waleed as the numbers are ranging between $1 million and $3 million!

This year Ramadan is coming to us with more than just series! Media executive Suzanne Hassan has organized for Shereen Abdel Wahab and Ali El Haggar to alternate singing prayers which are to air on the Egyptian Channel 1 everyday. It’s an interesting and unique way of utilizing some of the most beautiful voices we have in Egypt and to add to it, Ali and Shereen will be coming together at the end of the month to sing a duet again about Ramadan.

Although Amr Diab has an undeniable past it seems that Tamer Hosni is climbing the ladder fast and trying to catch up to him. An agency recently put Tamer’s name forward for a part that for a long time was known to belong to Amr Diab. The movie in question is about Al Andalus when it was under Islamic rule. As for the motivation behind this sudden change in mind some say that Tamer proved himself through his latest movie ‘Amr W Salmah’ and so he deserves to be considered.

One thing that doesn’t seem to discriminate between socialite and ‘regular person’ is death and Egyptian star Moustafa Amar was one to experience this when his mother passed away. Moustafa had rushed to Alexandria immediately after he heard that his mother was ill and remained by her side until she passed away. Moustafa was obviously devastated but he was lucky enough to have all his friends to console him.

Anyone who has seen ‘Omaret Yakoubian’ will have witnessed actor Khalid El Sawi playing a homosexual character and after he did such a great job people started claiming he himself was a homosexual!
After that commotion Khalid said he would never repeat the part but it seems former Ms Egypt Heba El Sisi is not learning from his so called mistake and has taken on the role of a homosexual in a new movie herself.

As Sherine was interviewed in the ritual pre-show interview at the Carthage Festival, she dropped a bombshell. Sherine Abdelwahab married musical arranger Mohammed Mustafa 48 hours ago at midnight!

Sherine said, "at 11:30 pm I didn't know I was going to be married, at 12 I was! It was Mohammed's spontaneous idea and I didn't want to spoil his fun. He is 'hob omri' [the love of my life]". She called her manager and asked to him to bring two rings and announce the wedding at midnight!

Many of you will have seen the movie ‘Kashf Hesab’ or seen clips from it on Melody TV accompanied by a beautiful song titled ‘El Ayam’ and will have realized that the girl singing this song sounds very much like Shereen Abdel Wahab! Truth be told I thought it was her until today when I discovered that it was actually a rising Egyptian 16 year old singer who goes by the name of Somaya.

That’s what people are saying about Amr Diab’s new album, which was officially released on Wednesday, July 11th. The album, which was leaked over the Internet on the 7th of July, sold over one million copies in 5 days, in the Middle East.

Angham’s new album has proven to be a huge success after it sold about 75,000 cassettes and 20,000 CD's in Egypt only! With this record, Angham has overcome Nancy Ajram and Najwa Karam’s album sales. It is expected that the sales of the album will sky-rocket in the next days.

This came as a surprise because of the rumors that spread about Angham shooting a video clip in a mosque, which made everyone angry.

There have been numerous rumors going around about Egyptian singer Shereen Abdel Wahab and she recently decided to set the record straight about them all. Shereen made sure that everyone knew that the rumor that she and Nasr Mahrous, who used to be her manager, are having a huge argument is completely untrue! In fact according to Shereen she and Nasr ensure that they visit each other and speak very often and that they have remained great friends. It was also said that Nasr Mahrous is making a tape of old songs Shereen sang when he was her manager but that never went out to the public as a way of humiliating her but Shereen again said that this is untrue.

Critics have described Amr Diabs albums as a hot piece of bread that everyone wants a slice of and can’t wait for, but as always with Amr’s album there is a lot of drama surrounding it! First there was the rumor of the album being leaked, several people claimed that the whole album could be found online and on mobile phones but in reality it seemed that the rumor came about when the cover for the album was leaked and people assumed the songs came with it. After the leaking of the cover for the album and the song leaking rumor proving false Vodafone started offering snippets of the album for its users’ phones and the countdown for the album began!

Hany Shaker has been named by his internet fans as ‘Al Andaleeb Al Abyad’ and his loyal fans have discussed how they are going to help promote his new and upcoming album ‘Ahla El Layali’ (‘Most beautiful of nights’). These fanatical members of the Hany Shaker online fan club decided to promote to many forms of media that Egypt plans to conduct a nuclear test on the day of the release of the album. The effect of this was that many countries have increased security measures to ensure that they can overcome the effects of the ‘fake’ nuclear test.

It seems the problems between Saad El Soghayar and his producer Tareq Abd Allah and his company ‘High Quality’ escalated pretty fast especially after the huge success that Saad’s last album ‘Had yeshtery alb’ made! According to Saad he hasn’t been paid for his work on the album and so he has sued Tareq and his company and asked for the court to grant him amnesty from the contract or to grant him the money he is owed.
