TV Host Nishan Should Shut His Face!



When you host a prime time TV show, you must know that there are kids out there watching your show. When your show films in Ramadan, you must at least show some respect at you ask questions form your guests. But clearly popular TV personality Nishan did not get the memo.

As he interviewed one of the most provocative pop songstresses  Myriam Faris, the TV host got comfortable and thought he was sitting in a bar and in a private session, not on TV. So the might Nishan fires up a question to Myriam....here's the question?

"Are you comfortable with people looking at your ass (buttocks)? as they are always impressed by it" "They always try to sneak a peace at your moneymaker, how do you feel?" To proof that he is an idiot the host wishes his viewers a happy Ramadan as he talks about butts. This is the kind of shitty mentality that men come up to and sadly few women play along out of fear or not being cool.

Not sure what was on his mind, to ask such a question. But again when you invite guests like that, you will not be talking about Mozart or global warming. The guest did not seem bothered by the question and seems to enjoy acting like she is tired, she seems overjoyed to talk about that part of hers. What talents does he really have? Great hair, check! A Smile, Check! A brain? We will get back to you on that one

Watch the exchange below as Nishan almost gets to blow some steam as he talks up the rare bit. Nishan should explain his question and apologize to his viewers--I am not one of them and never will.

WATCH: Elissa Concert أجواء حفل إليسا بنادي استاد الهوكي Par Ouailitto


So Elissa goes to Egypt, and headlines a massive concert where she brought her best hits to the country of 90 millions.  She appeared in that country's hockey stadium (an attachment to the Cairo staduim), people were dazzled, and the Lebanese diva is marking a great comeback concert that follows her smashing successful concert in her home--Lebanon

Elissa wore a modest yet gorgeous dress, orange dress! The stage seems to have been made just right for this mega concert where the fans finished the songs of Elissa before she started them. The concert was well organized and seems to have been a lot of fun where the songstress gave the concert goers a great time.

This is Elissa's first concert in post Mubarak Egypt, the venue fits 30 thousand people, three police units were in charge of protecting Elissa in addition of her personal guards who had to fight off many fans and admirers. Fun facts, Elissa lost one of her diamond earning as she was performing--she did not realize it till later. Some fan messed around with a laser pointer something that Elissa asked him to stop doing--she cut off the song to do that. Elissa was also caught off guard reading the lyrics to one of her songs on stage.

Elissa And Her Lovely Boys Live On Stage


You have heard that Elissa is very close to her buddy Lebanese singer Wael Kfoury. They have performed together, appeared together in a number of events and media appearances. Some have even them linked romantically, so there you have it. Elissa has a concert recently in Beruit where Wael Kafoury was in attendance. She tried to get him to sing along her side by doing one of his songs--which they have performed together before. The crowd wanted him too, but Wael did not seem to be in the mode.

Wael polity apologized, Elissa played it cool, and told him as he wishes. She did not finish the song, but she tried to still tease the singer. Later that night, she performed with another young and charming singer who has composed one of her latest songs Ziad Bourji who with love performed a duet with Elissa and both seemed to enjoy their time.

It was a very entertaining concert where Elissa was much more fun and less awkward than people have gotten to be used to. It was her moment in the spotlight after not a great start for the year. Note, the change of outfits by the singer.

Nasr Mahrous and The Making (and Marketing) of Top Pop Stars



Sherine Abdelwahab, Tamer Hosny, Baha Sultan, Diab, Suma, Khalid Agag, Mohammed Foaud, Mohammed Mohie and a dozen more household name in Egyptian pop have all been branded and brough to the spotlight by one humble Egyptian man that goes with the name Nasr Mahrous, a music producer. Nasier owns the label Free Music and was the guy who made stars before Rotana ever could. He made and produced top quality songs turning them into hits. Nasr seems to be most proud of his collaboration with the late legendary singer Mohammed Roshdy.

the last thing, I have seen of his work was the music video for Baha Sultan, a really good one that cam elate last year. Nasr knows all about shots and production. Nasr is a producer, director, lyricist and and if needed to, he can sing. Nasr's father was a music producer before him and Ameer, Nasr's brother is one of the top sound engineers in Arabia. This is the work of an all Cairo family that likes the business and the art side of their work.

Nasr started in the 80s by selling cassettes and distributing them around Egypt. In the 90s he started releasing a series of various artists under the label Free Mix--those sold huge. That also included a Free Baby tape, that had many silly but lovable hits. Nasr uses a decent formula, which is making mix tapes for new names, if those names have hits, then he and produced them an entire album. Nasr has tried his hand on feature films by releasing Captain Hima, a romantic comedy with Tamer Hosny and Ziena.

Some of those stars might not work with Nasr's lable, but they still all refer to him as big brother who gives them advise as needed. Perhaps the two names who are considered Nasr's greatest commercial success, I would count Tamer Hosny and Sheine, they are the biggest money maker in Egyptian pop at the moment.
