She should make an album with Ludacris

Via TigerHawk, Wafah Binladin (the niece of you-know-who but with trendy spelling) — a wannabe rock star in New York — is apparently having trouble realizing her dream of becoming the next Madonna. One thing we know – she’s not going to try Kaballah. [How do you know? Stranger things have happened.-ed. You know, you're right for once.]

Meanwhile, this is another view into Bin Laden family values, which are almost as weird as they are homicidal. I take that back. Nothing could be quite that weird. Let’s just say this is one kooky family with a lot of seriously screwed up rich people.

Yea, having a bajillion dollars certainly is a burden us po’ folk are lucky not to bear.

Good God, how incompetent is this young lady — in the US of all places — not to be able to manipulate her famous name into at least a Paris Hilton type public spectacle? Or worse, a reality TV show. What an idiot.

Is it just me, or is anyone interested in the fact that Bin Laden’s niece happened to leave Manhattan right before 9/11?

Was there family advance notice?

Hmmmm.

Frankly it doesn’t seem that this young lady has any access to money. The money is probably under the control of male relatives, who would require her to return to SA and an arranged marriage. I also expect that, if she were to do a Paris Hilton style thing, she’d end up dead pretty damn quick.

It’s not a good situation to be in.

I tried to leave this earlier today but there is usually something screwy with Roger’s typekey registering it wasn’t working again this morning.

*************************************************

Is suspicious that she left right before 9/11

but I was thinking more like….

Is it just me or does anyone give a rat’s a** about some spoiled 1/2 Saudi 1/2 Swiss chick who wants to be a singer? Other than the NY Post trying to sell newspapers.

And she’s not even that cute… her face is nothing great… and I could give a crap about her plight of being a “Ben/Bin whatever Laden”… my heart’s breaking.

Let’s stick to our own meaningless, spoiled, sexy media stars -

ie….. Paris Hilton

1) Much hotter

2) Much sexier

3) American and stupid

4) Spoiled but wears it well in shorter skirts

5) Sure bet she really likes the male species and all that entails

A bit more conservative…? stick to Anna Kournikova.
