The Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram and TikTok have decided to postpone the concert following the tragic incident in Beirut.
Her first ‘magical show’ was meant to take place on August 6 at 10pm (Dubai time) and was going to be live-streamed on the social network to fans across the world.

“In light of the devastating explosions that took place in Beirut, TikTok expresses its deepest condolences to the Lebanese people and stands with them in solidarity during this difficult time,” reads the press release.

The singer took to Twitter to share an emotional message, writing:  “O Lord, we have nobody but you … Lebanon.”
With the death toll reportedly rising above 100 and more than 4,000 people left wounded, there’s many needing to be treated in the country’s capital.

يا رب ما إلنا غيرك… لبنان💔

It seems as though HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum won’t be driving his Mercedes SUV for a short while and it’s for an incredibly sweet reason.
The Crown Prince of Dubai discovered that a bird nest has nested on the windshield of the SUV.

Sharing a video to his Instagram Story, you can see a nest with a bird protecting the eggs she has laid right in the middle of the windshield.
In order to ensure the protection of the nest, Sheikh Hamdan kindly red taped around the car.

This most likely was also to signal to others to not disturb the bird and its eggs.

This isn’t the only sweet deed His Highness has been seen doing as of late. Just recently, he was caught on camera walking along with his entourage when he spotted three young girls who were waving to him.
Spotting the fans, Sheikh Hamdan gave a wave to the three girls and came over to greet them.
Keeping a safe distance and wearing a mask, the Crown Prince of Dubai knelt down to share a few words with the three girls in a very sweet exchange.

Huda Kattan has shared a throwback photo from high school to mark her husband Christopher Goncalo’s birthday.
She took to the Huda Beauty TikTok account to share a snap – which is a major blast from the past – of her and her husband at what appears to be a prom.

In the TikTok, Kattan revealed it was, in fact, the “last pic” she took in school.

The now-makeup mogul was wearing a satin bright green dress, while Goncalo was rocking a black and white suit combo.
The video then jumps to a present photo of Kattan and Goncalo together with the caption, “Same same, but different.”
The 38-year-old beauty business owner also took to her Instagram page to directly wish her husband a happy birthday.
“Happiest Bday to my hubby & the kindest, coolest, most grounded man I know!” she captioned the image. “I love you so much! Happy 39th my love.”

The couple first met in high school and eventually moved to Dubai together in 2006.
After launching her blog, Huda Beauty, back in 2010, the namesake brand was set up offering a range of false eyelashes.
Kattan ensured the business was – and still is – a family affair and now works with her sisters, as well as her husband who is the Chief Operating Officer for Huda Beauty.

While we await the return of live music in all its glory, TikTok has booked the one and only Nancy Ajram to perform on its platform.
The Lebanese singer will host her first ‘magical show’ on August 6 at 10pm (Dubai time) which will be live-streamed on the social network to fans across the world.

Celebrating an iconic regional superstar, the live concert comes off the back of Ajram’s announcement to join the platform to create inspiring content. She shared the news through a creative video on Instagram and Twitter, co-starring with her three daughters, Mila Ella and Lia.

She’s not the first star to use live-streaming to her musical advantage. During lockdown, several singers hosted concerts from the comforts of their homes including John Legend. Lady Gaga even managed to organise a global festival with the likes of Hussain Al Jassmi and Jennifer Lopez to raise funds for the World Health Organisation.
This Thursday night, all TikTokers have to do is follow @nancyajram, add the date and time to your calendar, dress in your favourite party look and turn the speakers to a maximum level.

With a career spanning over 20 years in both Hollywood and Bollywood, it’s safe to say Priyanka Chopra Jonas is a force to be reckoned with in the world of stardom.
And it appears she’s not afraid of a new challenge, even if there may be some barriers to overcome.

In a recent interview with Inspire Middle East‘s Rebecca McLaughlin-Eastham, the actress revealed she “would love to” appear in Arabic films, but admitted the fact she didn’t know the language could be a hindrance.
“I would love to,” she told the publication. “I just don’t speak the language. I would love to be a part of the film industry anywhere. I love my job and I would learn a new language if I had to.”

In the same interview, Chopra also opened up about life in the public eye, particularly the interest surrounding her relationship with her husband, singer Nick Jonas.

“It’s the nature of the beast as we believe, and we’ve both chosen very public professions,” she said. “I distinctively choose what I like to share with the world and what I don’t like to share always remains private to me.”
Excitingly, the married couple is also set to start on a new project – developing a new show together.
It’s set to be part of her new multi-million dollar deal with Amazon in partnership with her own production house, Purple Pebble Pictures.
