Video: Baladeyat Band "The Mean Zionist" Odd Song

For me as a Palestinian, Zionists are no different than terrorists. They may have a good name now in some parts of the world, but they were never anything good for Palestine. They murdered people, imprisoned thousands, shot and injured hundreds of thousands, and terrorized otherwise peaceful people.

I once asked the Michael Oren the Israeli Ambassador in the United States (an event at Georgetown University  this question: "You are an American citizen from New Jersey, you gave that up to go and become an Israeli, even though you have a choice to live somewhere else, I do not have a choice to move from Palestine, how do you explain that?"

His response was this, "I am a Jewish person, for us Jews we need to be responsible. Going to Israeli is part of being a responsible Jew" So this is what one Zionist believes. Zionists live in a different universe than the rest of us and they love re-writing history. I am hardly an activist, but you do not need to be one to see that one it comes to Israeli mentality, injustice is all around.

So when I read about a new song that went viral, I am always up for it, but then I learn the song is titled "Mean Zionist", I was intrigued to give this song a listen. The band behind the song is known as "Baladeyat Band" It's an Egyptian band that goes by the the name which means Homies.

As for the song is about being sarcastic, the voice of an Israeli telling his side of the story, as it looks to many around the world. The song also speaks about Mubarak sweet gas deal, and that time when people looked like Tamer Hosny. This is like watching Saturday Night Live, it offers many zingers, loaded humor and random elements like Santa Clause.

This is an original, the music was adapted from the Ukrainian folklore.  song, Baladeyat Band works on a lot of Originals for us, we write, compose and arrange 95% of our songs. I am hoping this video won't be taken down anytime soon. As for musical style, the music video below reminds of one of my favorite odd American Bands "Bowling For Soup"  

بلديات Baladeyat band - "أنا صهيونى واطي" "Mean Zionist"



وتقول كلمات الأغنية:

أنا اسرائيلي سادي, باكل حدادي، واخطف أرواح ملايين
أصلي صهيوني واطي, ومش اعتباطي أحتل أنا فلسطين
هعمل مظلوم مجروح, واستر وشي المفضوح, بالإعلام والألبندات
زيّك زي المسيح, بإيدي دمه يسيح, وهحارب كل الديانات
فين أيام جمال وأبوه, كات(كانت)أيام تمام ياهو
خدنا الغاز بدون فاتورة والعرب شبه تمّورة
فين أيام, فين أيام المخلوع ياهو
مضيت معاهدات مع حبيبي سادات علشان أكسركم لسنين
لو هتسيبوني أعيش واّ كل عليكم عيش, دوركم جاي يا مصريين
فجأة أتهزت الدنيا هزة, فركة كعب يادوب من غزة
الأحرار شباب الثورة قاموا قبل سادس دورة
كانوا فايقين, شكلي تاني هشيل تلاته وسبعين
أنا اسرائيلي سادي, باكل حدادي, واخطف أرواح ملايين
أصلي صهيوني واطي, ومش اعتباطي احتل أنا فلسطين

"Secrets" Of Tamer Hosny And Bassma Boussil's Wedding

Tamer Hosny have never had a problem where he keeps away form the spotlight. He has spoken about everything and has not done the same thing with his marriage. When he doesn't talk, other media outlets do the talking and spread some information that might be incorrect. I think the bride deserves a huge wedding and those fans of Tamer Hosny need to see some tangible proof. Who's up for a party? 

Here are some behind the senes info nuggets about Tamer Hosny's wedding of the decade:

1. They both wad in Tamer Hosny's private Villa in Al Ahram Gardens. It was conducted according to Islamic laws. Only four people have witnessed the private ceremony. 
2. They have fallen in love two years prior to the wedding. Bassma was studying medicine and at first her family opposed the wedding. 
3. Tamer Hosny has met Bassma in Morocco where he had many concerts. He found her to be close to his personality. He has fallen in love and his friends were surprised how easy it was. Tamer Hosny has said in the past that he won't marry someone form the entertainment industry.  
4. The wedding was kept secret by both families for three months. Until Bassma went to the States with her husband to be with him for a month and a half as he toured the country and recorded new songs. Rumors started to surface.
5. She is in her early twenties and he is in his late thirties. 
6. Tamer wanted her to have  a career in the music industry, she recorded an album under the supervision of Tamer Hosny's producer Mohsin Jaber. But before the release of the album, Tamer Hosny announced the wedding to the public.   
7. They both had filmed a music video together that was marketed heavily with promos. The couple seemed to be in love. The music video have to see the light of day. Tamer Hosny is keeping it under close watch. Tamer might be doing the right thing in the eyes of some people.  
8. We have found out about this wedding on the same day pop star Mohamed Hamaki released his much anticipated 2012 album. 
9. We wish Tamer Hosny and Bassma Boussil well. I think we all have an obligation to make sure this relationship is a successful one.

A Good Idea! Tamer Hosny Reunites Nasr Mahrous

It him three years to do the smartest thing in his career, but it's better late than never. You know all those Tamer Hosny songs you have come to love, they all have been produced prior to 2009. And they have been produced by the same guy who launched the young Egyptian pop star's career. Nasr Mahrous. Nasr comes from a family of music appreciators who have mad  a career in distributing cassettes.

Nasr the the producer who made the career of half a dozen singers, he only works with pop stars that you can count on one hand. He works on one album at any given moment. He oversees all the stages and also films the music video too. He writes music, makes good beats, helps make songs better, and oversees the marketing and distributions. Nasr Mahrous has a good team made up of his family and his friends.

Among his greatest protegees, Tamer Hosny and Sherine. Tamer Hosny was the first guy to conquer the world of Arabic pop from the East to the West, from the North to the South. But then in 2009 Tamer Hosny left him for another guy who offered him more money and a TV network just for him and his work--Mohsen Jaber. What happened? Tamer Hosny did not make one amazing record with his new producer. The producer lost many of his other protegees because Tamer was hogging his time and his resources.

Nasr Mahrous kept going, and kept making solid albums for names like Diab, Baha Sultan, and Some. All great albums and all stars in their own ways. But now just this week, Tamer Hosny announced he is ready to go back work with Nasr whom he has always called my older brother. There are looking certain to collaborate. They are finalizing the business side of the contract and I am really excited about this future. Free Music- Nasr's label will have a lot to add.

Tamer knows how to own his songs and make them dazzling. Naser knows all about making a good party record, catch and dancey. He knows how to mix many musical elements to make any good song, a sexy adventure. I dubb him, the man with the diamond touch.

BREAKING: First Picture For Tamer And Bassma Boussil

The couple of the decade is Tamer Hosny and his bride Bassma Boussil showed up to a birthday party together and the new went on a frenzy. The pictures of the couple have gone viral and they seem to confirm the rumors and statements about their marriage.

An Egyptian entertainer (Majid Al Masry) had a birthday party for his kid, and the couple made their first social appearance since the announcement of their wedding. Confirming once again, Arabs really love blondes.  The party was in Al-Masa Hotel garden and a number of stars have turned out for the party.

BASMA BOUSSIL & TAMER HOSNY

The Comeback Plan For Tamer Hosny's Career

At the height of the Egyptian revolution Tamer Hosny was the only person more unpopular than former president Hosny Mubarak. Few people had anything nice to say about the Egyptian pop star, he had simply made so many enemies out there and he did a number of stupid things that made people laugh at his expenses. No need to go in details of his offenses, everyone knows about the epic fail and the meltdown that's well documented on YouTube.

Now that Tamer Hosny has done the sensible thing by getting married, I think he can consider applying one of those suggestions I have for him. If he really wanted a comeback, he should think different now.

1. Work with other stars, collaborate with them. Do not just work with your buddies and other stars who would sit in the backseat and let you be in charge. You will benefit from working with other stars who can carry their own weight.
2. Invest some time to socialize with the stars--go to funerals, weddings and birthday parties. No other star has ever spoke about Tamer being a nice guy who cares about others. Tamer has a reputation that he does not socialize with other entertainers. Making new friends can be a shield for your career. If you are too busy, make a phone call.
3. Stop singing about girls and start singing about women. Not all women are confused teenagers who view you as a father figure. Some of them are smarter than you and do things for a reason not just to make you cry.
4. Stop singing about women like they are cats, they have should you know. Your most famous songs can be easily confusing with a song for a guy who is in love with a pet not a human bring. 
5. Be humble and act like it. Those who worship you are too stupid to matter or even to do you any good. Do not let that all get into your head. Most of your loathe that about you. 
6. Stop suing people for criticizing you. Do not intimidate/bully those who do not have kind opinions about you. Like when they make a movie that alludes to stuff you do in concerts, no need to move heaven and earth to change that. 
7. Stop taking down videos on YouTube that you do not like. Take down all the materials that you have copy rights too--like your movies and your music. Just leave the talk shows who talk smack about you and about some of your antics.
8. Laugh with people, if they tell a joke laugh, you do not have to be the funniest guy in the room or on the set. Make fun of yourself, nothing can humanize you as much as this one can. Do not be too melodramatic and ego driven about things like unfaltering videos. Any publicity is good publicity.
9. And finally, do one thing and do it well. You might be a gifted singer, but you are no wonder boy when it comes to composing music. You sell big movies, but you do not have to write the script and direct the picture. Let other people do their job and reward them for it. No need to slap your name all over the product--give people credit and recognize them.

OFFICIAL: Tamer Hosny Is A Married Man Now

Speaking to the celebrity news site Khabar 3ajil, the Egyptian pop star and the star of this generation Tamer Hosny has confirmed his marriage.

Tamer has confirmed the news and declared he is the one who made is public--not something else. He has also stated that he knows the news might not set well with some people. He is willing to live with the consequences of fewer female fans. He has asked people only to believe what he says, not some rumors.

He has also said he is busy these days tying to do the paperwork for his travel to do Hajj in Saudi Arabia with the company of his wife Bassma. As for his latest projects Tamer will get to star in an yet to be titled action movie where he will work with the team that has produced his 2011 TV Drama Adam.

I am happy for Tamer Hosny, really I am. I think he did the right thing here.

Tamer Hosny Shrinking Fans Celebrate His Fake Wedding With A Song

While the news has not been officially confirmed, fans of the Egyptian pop star have released a song to celebrate the unconfirmed rumors of his wedding to Bassma Boussil. It's a karaoke song that uses some lines from a Tamer Hosny song...has it ever happen to you

The voice behind this song is Ahmed Gamal--a nobody who is cheering his idol one. The song called on Tamer and Bassma it references their names and how they have manged to score one another. The topic aside this is a catchy beat, simple but catchy ringtone.

Will Tamer have the backbone to come out in public and say the words that he has gotten married? Is it cool for your fans to call your wife "Bint al eeh"? "Daughter of A Gun" Like you have used the line before too many times.

I Don't Think Tamer Hosny Is Really Married To Bassma Boussil

It has been almost a week since that random video has popped online and the social media where supposedly the Egyptian pop star. He has popped the question to Bassma Boussil and the video claims they are now married. I might be wrong about this, but the singer has yet to confirm his wedding in person or in a live show. He is testing the water. If you guys do not like it, he might deny the news of his marriage.

For starter he has not confirmed the news in person, we only get bits and pieces from the internet. Do not believe everything you read on the internet. If he is so happy and so proud of his marriage--which he should be, why has he not spoken about it. Another thing to consider is Bassma's new career where she has an album ready to be released soon, free marketing cannot hurt.

This could be a stunt from the guy who knows how to stay in the news and stay in the public discourse. He needed some press, as he prepares for a new album project which he is producing but claims that some global company is paying him to release. The album will be mostly in English. If the wedding was a reality, where is the wedding? Pictures anyone? Families?

Now let's talk about this marriage, I am certain most people are happy for Tamer including his female fans who tend to faint in his concerts. Why is he hiding the news? I am certain he has no problem calling in one of those TV shows to confess his love and share the news about his marriage. I think the good press deliver him some sales. He went from essentially having a whole music network (Mazzika) dedicated to him into a pariah.

The Most Famous Arab Celebrities' Scandals أشهر فضائح لفنانين وفنانات العرب

In American they have sex tapes, recorded voices messages, and driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. They also have one star who likes to steal things, and there are many who go to rehab to address problems with drugs, alcohol, and exhaustion.

Let's visit Arabia and see what the Arab stars have for us in store, it seems that with the spotlight, so many Arab stars get caught in scandals or trouble with the press.

1. A leaked video of Nancy Ajram at a beauty shop where her privates where being taken care of by a professionals. This was bad and we still love Nancy... 
2. Egyptian dancer turned actress, had a leaked sex tape with her husband--on papers, not a real marriage. They were in the bedroom doing the nasty and it was a vivid video that shocked the Arab press for which Dina wore the head cover for a while.
3. Lebanese TV personality, singer and actress, Rozan Al Moghraby was the star of a privet video where she was around a lot of beer and performing sexual acts on some dude while joking and teasing. This has torpedoed her career.  
4. Lebanese super star and media darling had pictures of her in bikini by the pool side leaked to the internet and off course who does not want a little peak? 
5. Egyptian actress Ziena, was a guest of a TV show when her dress got tangled and her dress came off a bit revealing her bra for everyone to see.
6. Syrian singer and TV personality was a guest of Star academy, doing a song when her tight jeans got ripped from the front in the middle of her segment, revealing a prime real estate.  
7. Egyptian actress trying to be singer Mena Fadaly had a birthday party and it was a crazy party attended by so many celebrities, Mena's pictures leaked to the press and the pictures revealed too much, and humiliated the singer and most of her parting guests. That was a big deal.
8. Kuwaiti singer Jawad Al Ali cannot catch a break, while a guest on a live she, come dude called in and called him gay and asked him to perform an act of sexual nature. Poor Jawad, that must have been an awkward exchange.   
9. Moroccan singer, Laila Ghofran--an other wise great vocalists was the star of a video where she was doing a steamy dance bit and sitting on her boyfriend (friend who is a boy) feet.
10. Lebanese singer/actress Marwa was doing an appearance at a primer of one of her movies, and the fans outnumbered what her guards can handle and it was reported she was harassed--some stupid people out there blame the dress she was wearing.
11. Again Lebanese Marwa was the star of a leaked footage from one of her movies where she was almost naked in the shower--this was a big deal later year. It seemed that the director leaked it and since then Marwa has been cleared.  
12. Egyptian actress Hanan Turk was caught in the middle of a scandal with prostitution and all that,  I think she served jail time, then it turned out she was innocent and the whole ordeal was a set up.
13. Tamer Hosny sang for Egypt and how much he loved it, then it turned out he forged documents to get out of the military service. He cliams innocence and that he was tricked into doing that. He did a jail time and since then he has been a tool for the armed forced in Egypt.
14. TV host Hala Sarhan had guests on her show who claimed to be prostitutes in Egypt and they have given so much details. The segment was a big hit and upset a lot of people. WE are told later that Hala hired some actress to pose as hookers. Hala would flee to Dubai and stays there until the Mubarak regime fell apart
15. Egyptian actor and activist Khalid Abu El Naga was the star of a video where he was marrying one of his lady friends on the beach--I do not know what this one is a scandal.
16. Libyan singer Ali Hamida was arrested for molesting a little boy in Egypt and he served time in jail, he would be a nobody after he once was the hottest boy of Arab pop in the 80s. He certainly had the coolest hair. 
17. Star Academy and its participants had a lot of scandals about footage for females changing clothes and males and females getting cozy with one another. See the video below.

The Arab Celebrities Twitter Scandal

There's a dozen of news reports that have been made public about a number of Arab celebrities buying fans and followers on the world wide web.  Tamer Hosny was the guy who got the most heat last year--after calming a million follower most of whom were computer bots.

Here are some hard numbers that are true as of today

1. Elissa has 442 thousand followers on Twitter
2. Haifa Wahbe has 336 followers on the same network
3. Nawal Al Zoghby has 267 thousand
4. Nancy Ajram 255 thousand followers
5. Najwa Karam has 226 K followers
6. Myriam Faris has 147 thousand followers 

Few weeks later, we hear more dirt about other Arab celebrities who have been Linked to fake Twitter and Facebook accounts. Najwa Karam had to answer questions about the same subject. Elissa had to deal with increased attacks from Haifa Wahbe fans who have spilled the beans on all the fake followers for the Lebanese diva. Read here in Arabic on Khabar 3ajilThe accusations started with attacks like those followers are not Arab nor they speak Arabic, so why would they be following an Arabic pop star. Others claim such fake fans have no engagement level and no activities online that would indicate they are for real.

Elaph also reported on the scandal, according to a number of companies, you can purchase a 100 thousand followers for about 5 thousands dollars. Nawal Al Zoghby is another singer who has been accused of buying fake fans and followers. Elaph seemed to have done the most research on this topic and they have followed it very closely.

Of course the celebrities are defending themselves against those attacks and accused their foes of being jealous of their success. I think the reality is more complex than that, but it would not be a far fetched scenario for those celebrities to have a mixed bag of fake and real followers.

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.

FINALLY: Tamer Hosny Gets Married To Bassma Bousel

The rumors were true, I mean the ones about his romance with Moroccan singer Bassma--she is no career singer she took part of Star Academy season six. This might be the right way to go about making a comeback. Tamer Hosny as a single man has passed his expiration date.

a married Tamer Hosny might imply he is a serious musician who takes his work seriously. He is no longer Mr. single guy out there to get the ladies and seduce them through his romantic--sometimes cheesy songs. Tamer made the news official on his Facebook page through a video that landed there with a quck background story and then comes the wedding news. Tamer worked with the singer and then they have grown fond of one another--he approached her father and asked for Bassma's hand in marriage.

Now, I learned Tamer Hosny has made his marriage official in May of 2012 inside the Egyptian embassy in the United States where Tamer was working on some musical projects. He has kept the news due to the elections in Egypt and the incidents in Rafah. Now he is ready to go public.

Bassma Bousel has done some songs before with Tamer Hosny and ever since they have been romantically linked--something they both denied. But then the Arab Spring took over and the Tamer Hosny meltdown has taken phase. Tamer has not appeared in person to confirm the news, I would question the news until he speaks about it--because he can come out and say someone hacked his Facebook and put the video.

Some critics were never happy with Bassma Bousel for making comments and appearing too vivacious in the music video with Tamer Hosny. I think this goes back to her days at Star Academy where Bassma has rubbed some people the wrong way.

Update: I have confirmed that Bassma was with Tamer Hosny in his February 2012 visit to the United States as he toured and stoppled in places like Washington DC.

Tamer Hosny (Lame) vs. Tamer Ashour (Awesome)

They are both roughly the same age, both make music and both are stars.

Tamer Ashour writs his own music, Tamer Hosny pretends to do that, he is rumored to put his name on the work of others. Tamer Ashour has a large fanbase that includes men, women, old and young. Tamer Hosny sing for the young horny, confused and unemployed.

You listen to Tamer because you know he knows music and has the education to show for it. He can hold his own and he can craft songs with deep emotional experiences. Tamer Hosny can do happy song, about silly subjects, I saw you walking down the street so I stalked you all over town and by the way I am a jealous guy too.

Tamer Hosny has an online PR operation where they comment on his articles, spam other people and remove materiel that he might not like--trust me they did that with me. Tamer Ashour is big on the web naturally, and everyone has nothing but love and respect to this guy. He does not have a PR operation.

Tamer Hosny does not work with other people well, he thinks he is the shit, and now he has turned into shit. I do not like every song by Tamer Ashour, but even the songs I do not like, I can understand and relate to at some point down the road. With Tamer, you know he sounds like the guy you want to punch in the face. Maybe he sings to unstable young souls who are looking for the next big thing.

Tamer Ashour works and help other young women to get into the music business with his music--he did that with a new pop star that goes by the name Rania. Tamer uses women as props and tends to enjoy rumors that link him emotional to so many of them. He is notorious for making it look like he is in love with his onscreen costars.

He tired to battle Amr Diab, Diab did not even talk about him or ever referred to him by his name. Amr Diab is still a household name, Tamer is also a household name, but in a laughable way. Tamer is a big box office star, he makes money, but frankly he has tained his brand so much. He is now working on a comeback. aided by a big TV network that basically airs all his stuff any minute all day.

Sure, they are both different singers, but one is making a legacy that no amount of money can buy and the other is making a farce out of himself.

Karim Mohsen can be a miracle worker to Egyptian pop, he is one of the most creative young forces in the pop scene at the moment. While his career seems to have taking off as a singer too, he performs in a number of colleges and universities around Egypt. His latest work included a hit song with Syrian diva Asala.

But in the meantime, he is giving his fans a teaser for a song he will be releasing soon, a love song where he is confessing about dreaming about his loved one. A cute way to get a girl's attention. I am in for the music portion of the song.

I have always liked the hint of sadness Karim's voice has, it gives a nice balance to his sweet and funky side. I am certain comes this Eid--Karim will be performing in a number of events. Too bad his old buddy Tamer Hosny cannot say the same.

Selling Out: Stars, Celebrities And Politicians

This is the Arabic edition of what star sang for what leader/dictator/president/king. This is tricky business because one day, the song subject might be popular, the next day he is a murder. I think it's really hard to figure out the reality. We change and people change, stars are people and sometimes they do songs for money, access and protection.

1. Oum Kalthoum sang for the last King of Egypt, She also sang for the guy who overthrew him too. Sabah, Mohammed Abdel Wahab, Abdel Halim Hafiz have all sang for leaders and politicians. Other stars of the golden age have also sucked up to the power holders.
2.  Najwa Karam Sang for Bashar Al Assad--days after he took office in 2000. She was not the only one to do so. Assi Al Hallani did too and so have done 3 out of five Lebanese singers.
3. George Wassouf have sang not to one leader, but to two of them. He did sing for Bashar Al Assad, and also for the Tunisian dictator Ben Ali and his lovely money hugging wife. 
4. Kathem Al Saher, Tamer Hosny, Latifah (to name few) have all sang while Ben Ali and his regime was present. 
5. Ruoida Attiah have also took part of a music event where Bashar was also present. 
6. Hussein Al Jasmi have snag for Qaddafi and attended one his many celebrations on the day he took over the country. Amr Diab, Fadel Shaker, Assi Hallani and Myraim Faris have all taken part of this celebration in different years.
7. Amr Diab And Sherine have all sang for Mubarak and celebrated his regime. Sherine has sang a song for him in 2010 after his surgery in Germany. Amr Moustafa remains one of those artists who are loyal to the former president Mubarak. 
8. Julia Butrous have sang for Hezbollah in the wake of the 2006 year war where Hezbollah scored big moral victory over Israel. Her song was timely and came in the wake of a war that rocked everyone in Lebanon. Assi Hallani sang for Hariri after his assassination, Melhim Barkat did a song for Emil Lahoud after he won the election.  
9. Susan Attieh, Lutfi Boushnaq, Samira Said, and Samira Tawfik have also came to Iraq and celebrated with Saddam.
10. Assi Hallani have sang for everyone in Arabia, including Qaddafi, Assad, King of Saudi Arabia, Sheikh of the UAE and his horses too.  

Again, this is just a sample, there are many more singers who have brown nosed the regime and certain leaders. What I think is this, artists have a choice: either sing, make money and get a concert or don't and people will not remember you for long. Above all those voices, Fayrouz, she has never taken the side of a politican or a leader....she is the artist for the people. 

Tamer Hosny Has A Million Twitter Followers And Other Lies

Tamer Hosny does not tweet often, and he has an unverified twitter account--unlike most celebrities who verify their twitter account to protect.

Yesterday, brother Hosny has announced he now has a million follower on Twitter! But it does not seem those are real people. No other Arab celebrity have reached the million fan rank--I think Haifa Wahbe has the most followers  and she really engaged people.

Here's the Intel on this twitter bullshit. New Egypt Consulting, a firm that does social mega bookmarking and  SEO has announced that Tamer has purchased those followers with money. In the blog post the company states if you look at the followers, they are based in the States, and only a month ago,

1. June 3rd, 2012, Tamer Twitter page has 78 thousand followers
2. July 1st, 2012, Tamer Twitter page has 240 thousand followers
3. And by July 15th, 2012, Tamer has reached the million follower mark--that's 300 percent increase?

In June has had only 18 tweets, and up to July 15th he had only 8 tweets. Plus has has not been in the news and as far as we know he did no go to Tahrir Square to cry again. 

If Tamer wanted to maintain that number, he has to pay up some serious cash, as those are rented followers. And one more thing none of these followers is going to be re-tweeting or replying to anything Tamer Hosny says, that's if he had anything to say. 

This is not the first time, Tamer Hosny has been accused of paying for love, it's a long established rumor now that most people who faint at his concerts are for hire. 

Sometimes you really cannot buy love,

Feel Free To Hate That Shithead Tamer Hosny

I cannot help it, but I still cannot stomach this guy anymore. He might have recorded some big songs--in his world, but he is still a tiny little guy. He traveled to Hollywood trying to get the attention of people around the Arab World, no body seemed to tune in.

Now he has a concert in Morocco, where he saw a big and warm reception. I will not argue with that, he is a star but those who got no education and those who are glued to their TV screens. He did hold a pres conference while there. Remember the old Tamer would never talk to anybody and he would never take questions. He now has to blame the humble boy game.

He danced on the stage and tried to pretend everything is ok. Here's the sad reality, he will not sell a big concert in Egypt. He won't, he might pack it with his buddies and friends for free, but few would pay a dime to see him. His concert was free for the masses in Morocco. He even went to Jordan for another concert and spoke to the pres.

It looks like the uni-brows are back this summer. Some journalist actually said something pretty cool. "I wish you have not made your movies" Tamer tried to play it cool and saying he made money! This is not about art anymore, he is all about the money, little misguided teenagers and zombies.
