Haifa Wehbe |
This former Miss South Lebanon had a hit with her Arabic-language album Howa el-Zaman (It’s Time) a few years ago, although expectations weren't high. Nevertheless, Haifa Wehbe's sexy personality and scandalous antics have made her a regular in Middle Eastern tabloids.
Haifa released a successful second album called Badi Aish (I Want to Live), and also appeared on a live, pan-Arab reality show, Al Wadi (translated as "the farm"). She stormed off of the show in a huff, but since buxom histrionics are Haifa's stock in trade, her behavior only boosted her popularity.
Haifa Wehbe is still under contract to Arabic recording company Rotana, and will shoot another video for Rotana TV in March 2006 (although the relationship has been strained lately). What the future holds for Wehbe beyond that is unclear, since few other substantial projects seem to be in the works.
