Haifa Wehbe seems to be turning to more non-feminine activities lately!
Is that true? Well, that’s not totally true, but she’s into football and in her latest video clip she’s a tough warrior!
What’s happened to Haifa?!
Haifa is now cheering for the Egyptian football team, who’s got a very strong chance of making it to the FIFA World Cup 2010.
Haifa sang at the first of the many FIFA tour parties, which was held in Egypt last week.
Haifa sang some of her most popular songs with participation of about 30.000 people attending at the Hockey ground at the Cairo stadium.
On another level, Haifa has left behind her dainty, sensual feminine self in her latest music video.
For her song ‘Inta Tani’ -You Again-, Haifa comes out as a tough and serious warrior.
This for her is a new experience and she should try new realms in the vast world of Music videos.

For the first time in American television history, Oprah Winfrey will feature some of the Middle East’s most prolific celebrity icons in a new show set to air this month on satellite network MBC4.
The show titled Fame Ffrom Aaround Tthe Wworld features snap segments of artists like Nancy Ajram, whom Winfrey calls ‘the Britney Spears of the Middle East’, and highlights the controversy she has caused with her risqué dance moves and sexy image in this ‘deeply conservative’ part of the world, as Winfrey points out.
The show, filmed on August 27, will also feature Egyptian heartthrob Amr Diab as well as Lebanese icons Haifa Wehbe and Ragheb Alameh.
Muddled reports claim that Oprah interviewed Ajram via video chat because the starlet would not leave her infant daughter, Mila, to travel to the United States, but this couldn’t be confirmed. Arabic music fans are elated that the reigning queen of talkshow has decided to highlight Arab celebrities in her new show, but some are questioning the sensitivity and accuracy that Oprah used in portraying them to American audiences.
In the United States, images of war and conflict dominate the media coverage of the Arabian Peninsula, but Oprah’s depiction of Lebanon as a ‘deeply conservative’ country has many people annoyed and confused at the lack of research done by the Winfrey team.
Lebanon, by many accounts, remains one of the most open and liberal societies in the world, and Winfrey’s report only sensationalises and reinforces stale stereotypes.
