Want something new to laugh about? Remember the last Axis of Evil show we had? Or if you missed it, then now is your chance! We’re bringing in another comedy show in August, with two of the funniest Arab-American comedians around.

 Dean Obeidallah is the fourth guy from the Axis of Evil group, and he didn’t come with the rest of the guys earlier this year (Maz Jobrani, Ahmed Ahmed, and Aaron Kader). But he’s coming now, and we can’t wait to see what he’s going to say this time…

 He’s also bringing with him Maysoon Zayid, who is one of the funniest Arab-American comedians as well, she was in the movie “Don’t Mess with the Zohan” recently, and we’re pretty excited to see what she’s got to say. Read the rest of this entry »

“The Dark Knight” - and free tickets

I am so geeked out about the Batman sequel coming out tommorrow at Grand Cinemas and Prime Cinemas! I say geeked out because I love superheroes, and of all the superheroes, I love Batman the most because he’s just a real tough person, and, like Iron Man, doesn’t have any superpowers, just a lot of cool technology. He’s like us! But anyway, on top of being a Read the rest of this entry »

Bungee Jumping for Jump for Life!

It was definitely the craziest thing I’ve ever done. And its such a cool feeling! This is the way I describe the feeling of bungee jumping, though I dont’ think you should take my word for it, you should try it yourself!

Basically its so high up that its dizzying, and I think at that point, if you’re as scared of heights as I am, your brain stops registering that your body is about to fall from that high up! But once you fall and start dropping through the air, you don’t feel anything. It’s not like riding a rollercoaster, where you feel the chair beneath you, and you feel your body going VERY Read the rest of this entry »

“Nour” taking Jordan by storm?

What are your thoughts on this Turkish soap opera? For some reason, every single person in Jordan seems to know about it or watch it, and you can’t get ten people in one room together in Jordan, anywhere, and not have them bring up the topic! The girls all love “Muhannad,” and say he’s gorgeous! Is that the reason that this show is so popular?

Mia Rose, Hanna Gargour on Youtube

Youtube celebrity Mia Rose teamed up with one of Jordan’s very best talents, Hanna Gargour, on Queen Rania’s Youtube Channel. They covered John Mayer’s hit song, ‘Waiting on the World to Change’ in hopes to “bridge the gaps between our cultures”.

Mia Rose is a one of the hottest young stars to reach fame as the third most subscribed musician of all time on Youtube. Her fan favorite cover, ‘Me Singing Heaven’ has scored almost 10 million views since ‘07.

Hanna, on the other hand, is a story of a true Jordanian artistic success, releasing hit singles on Play 99.6 like ‘All the Time in the World’ and ‘Stalker Baby’.

Their response video is just another example of the dialogue that Queen Rania started to change Arab stereotypes.

BREAK THOSE STEREOTYPES!!
