Dalia Al Beheirey’s marriage over

The Egyptian actress shocked fans this week by announcing that she is no longer with Fareed Morsheedi. The former beauty pageant queen revealed the news for the first time on the talk show, Samar w Al-Regal, stating that there’s no love lost between the two – who had been married for five years – apart from their only daughter.

 

Oh, the irony. Miss Khaleeji 2013 is not from the GCC

The annual entertainment poll aims at honouring the most popular female stars from the UAE, Saudi Arabia and beyond, but this year, it went to Maissa Al Maghrabi with 48 per cent of the votes. Although she lives in the UAE and is a big name in the region due to her appearances in the Khaleeji series, Maissa is actually from Morocco.

Meanwhile, Bahraini actress Haifa Hussain came in second place with 22 per cent of the votes, while Kuwait’s Haleema Boland was third with 13 per cent.

 

Your Eid entertainment starts on August 9, with the Layali Dubai concerts at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Kicking off the event are Morocco’s Muna Amarsa and Emirati star Hussain Al Jassmi.

Emirati singer and Arab Idol judge Ahlam and Iraqi singer Walid Al Shami play August 10, while Saudi singer Rabih Saqer and Lebanese superstar Nancy Ajram play on August 11. Finally, there’s Mohammad Abdo from Saudi Arabia. Tickets Dh150, Dh250, Dh400, Dh600 and Dh1,500.
