She'll be a special guest on the fashion TV show, Style with Aline.
The two girls will be talking about fashion and trends and about the ever-so-fresh new looks of Nancy Ajram.

Turkish series and movies are finding their way easily to the homes of Arab audiences across the Arab world.
If you're a fan of those Turkish production, you'll be happy to know that MBC1 will be airing Turkish movie this coming Friday, which by the way is Friday the 13th!
The movie is called 11:45 and is a tragic story of a girl who decides to run away from home after her parents plan her wedding to a man she doesn't love!
Ramadan is only a couple of months away and TV channels are getting ready with all their might to present a full package to the viewers!
Audiences across the Arab world gather around their TV sets after the Iftar to watch a few series on their favorite TV channels.
The first to announce that they've got two huge series to present is Future TV. They've announced that they've bought broadcasting rights to two Egyptian series; Sharaf Fathellbab and Heema!
Everyone likes to be appreciated, and to be honest we –the viewers- spend a lot of time and money on certain shows and technically we are the reason those shows ultimately succeed. So I think it is nice for someone to appreciate the viewers and ‘Rotana Express’ a new show on Rotana has done just that. Every month they pick a fan who has been most active in sending the show text messages etc and reward him with a medal and assortment of Rotana albums and a T-Shirt displaying the words ‘No. 1 Fan’.

If you're fans of the Syrian actor Tayem Hassan, like we at WALEG are, then you'll be happy to know that MBC1 is running a new Syrian TV series called 'Al Intithar' -The Waiting- starring Tayem Hassan and a bunch of other famous actors.
The series is about a group of people living in a random neighborhood in Damascus.
They've all got their lives and problems. As for Aboud, played by Tayem, he's a strange guy, a good one in his own way. He looks out for the youngsters in the neighborhood and does everything out of good intention.
He bumps into gangsters most of the time and is bound to deal with them when trying to help his fellow neighbors.
I’ve recently seen an increase in the attention being paid by Arab viewers and even TV stations to series and movies that originate from Turkey! This obviously includes ‘Noor’ and the upcoming movie ‘Aby Wa Ebny’ (My Father and My Son) which Topa Boyokostn will star in. I cannot help but wonder if this attention is positive or negative. As one of the stars of ‘Noor’ said presenting Turkish series in the Arab world is building a bridge between two cultures that are seemingly separated. But is this bridge feeding the Arab youth ‘bad’ information?
Star Academy Star Shatha Hassoun is going to try her luck in acting!
Shatha is currently getting ready to start shooting scenes from an upcoming TV series entitled 'Letters from a Dead man' and which is scheduled for Ramadan.

The story is about a young girl from an Iraqi mother and Egyptian father, who works in a hospital in Egypt.
Fate has it that her father becomes her patient and dies in her arms!
There's more to the story though!

Friday night will be a romantic night on MBC1 with Al Arrab.
Nishan will be hosting singer Ahlam and actor Yasser Al Masri.
I guess we're all very familiar with Ahlam, but might be not very acquainted with Yasser!
You might be more familiar with him as the Bedouin Sheikh and poet Nimer Ben Idwan.
We've lived with Nimer during Ramadan and experienced his honesty, bravery and romanticism.
I'm betting it will be a very interesting show on Friday night on MBC1.
Make sure to tune in to Al Arrab, you'll enjoy it!
Last Saturday, we went on an adventure with Indiana Jones to the Temple of Doom in India.
It wasn't fun having to sit at a banquette of beatles, worms, eyeball soup and chilled monkey brains! I assure you!
This Saturday MBC 2 will be taking us on another adventure with Dr. Indy.
This time it's The Last Crusade, when Indy goes on a quest to find his father who is looking for the Holy Grail!
Harrison Ford and Sean Connery team up and head to the amazing rose city Petra for some of the most amazing scenes of the Indiana Jones Trilogy.
At that time (1989) the movie's budget was a whopping $36 million and the crew traveled the world! In addition to shooting scenes in Jordan, they did Spain, London, West Germany, Venice, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah over the course of six months.
On many occasions we have opened our TV sets during Ramadan and seen a remake of ‘1001 Nights’ or ‘Alf Leyla Wa Leyla’ and as interesting as the romantic and slightly stereotypical plot is usually, we love it. But this year something fresh and brand new is being prepared and goes by the name of ‘1001 Days’! Sounds strange I know! But it is a cartoon which stars ‘Sharazad’ and ‘Shahrayar’ in a whole new way and instead of it being about ‘Shahrayar’s’ night time stories it will be about how his Kingdom is running by day.
On the occasion of the release of the latest installment of Indiana Jones: The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull on May 22nd, MBC 2 has decided to air the original Indiana Jones trilogy.
Last Saturday, we saw Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, which is the first Indy movie released in 1981.
This Saturday, MBC 2 will air the second Indy movie; The Temple of Doom, which was released back in 1984.
In The Temple of Doom, Dr. Indiana Jones is back as he teams up with a night club singer and a 12 year old named Short Round. They end up in an Indian village, where the people believe evil spirits have taken their children away after a sacred stone was stolen. Indiana agrees to try and retrieve the stone for the villagers.
In an exclusive show of Al Arrab on MBC yesterday, famous singer George Wassouf opened up his heart and spilled the beans to Nishan about so many things.
Wassouf, although weak and tired, has made a great effort to be there for the show and be there for his fans, who have been waiting for this candid interview for very long.
Nishan presented Wassouf with the usual Al Arrab rose, which in his turn, Wassouf dedicated to his mother.
During the show, Wassouf revealed that his name 'George' is an ancient Greek name meaning the man who works in the field.
As for his nationality, he revealed that he has both a Syrian and a Lebanese nationality, but is originally from Syria.
