Ragheb Alama not running for parliament
Beirut - Sleiman Asfahani
Lebanese singer Ragheb Alama has denied intending to run in the upcoming Lebanese parliamentary elections following rumours he might. The singer said he wanted to serve his country and the public through music, or even deal with public affairs through "a comprehensive, inclusive national vision." But Alama said he wouldn't turn down a ministerial post if he was asked, but only if he could make a difference on the ground rather than "sit behind a desk and talk." The singer criticised Lebanese politicians who "call for patriotism but are in reality up to their ears in corruption." "Nations aren't built on wishes. They're built by actions that must be turned into tangible reality."

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
