Last night, Miss North Carolina Kristen Dalton, was crowned as Miss USA 2009.

What global event transpired last Saturday night? Are you even aware that there was a significant global event that was supposed to take place from 8:30 to 9:30? Shame on you if you didn’t know it was Earth Hour! But even if you didn’t know and you didn’t participate, the said even was still a huge success according to environmental activists. The participation of over 88 countries in the world was greatly felt as time zone by time zone, the lights dimmed from 8:30-9:30. Over 4,000 cities and towns turned off their lights for a full hour to help raise awareness about the threat of climate change, particularly global warming.
You may think turning your lights off for one hour doesn't mean much, but it actually means a lot more than you think!
Tonight is Earth Hour. All you have to do is turn all your lights off for 60 minutes at 8.30 pm your local time. Simple!
Nawal ElZoghby along with Nabil Shoail and Rahed ElMajed were supposed to hold the third concert of Layali Febrayer in Kuwait, however due to an unfortunate illness that had befallen Rashed, the concert was postponed.
Fortunately to all fans of these singers, the concert took place at the last night of the festival; The concert was said to have been the most packed, with even the stairs being used by fans.
Did you watch the 2009 Miss America Pageant? If you watched it you know who won, and that’s Miss Indiana, Katie Stam. But aside from the big night, one of the highlights of the pageant was the Swimsuit Competition. I hope you saw the event because you’ll just be amazed by how different this year’s competition really is from the previous years.

Jordan's radio station Play 99.6 is holding a charity concert in solidarity with the people of Gaza.
the concert will be held on Jan. 17th at The Courtyard with the participation of Palestinian groups Ramallah Underground, Checkpoint 303 and Jordanian Humam Ammari.
All proceedings from ticket sales will be donated to the people of Gaza.
There were rumors that the annual Hala Febraier festival in Kuwait would be canceled due to the unfortunate events in Gaza.
Those rumors remain rumors, because it has been announced that the festival won't be canceled and part of its proceedings will be donated to Gaza and it's steadfast people.
It has also been reported that in the case of the attacks on Gaza continuing through February, then the cancellation will be considered!
In spite of the tragic events in Gaza and despite the cancellation of most New Year's eve bashes across the Arab world, some stars thought it would be a better idea to go on with their concerts and sing the night away, ushering in 2009 with music and dancing!
Tamer Hosni was one of those who opted to go ahead and perform.
Tamer held a bash, that went on until the wee hours of the morning, at the Semiramis hotel in Cairo.
That same night, in City Stars, Assi Hilani, Dina Hayek and Jannat partied 2008 away!!
