Egyptian singer Shahinaz has confirmed that the recent rumor of a heated fight between her and controversial Egyptian belly dancer Dina is not true. 
Shahinaz stressed that she was very disappointed by the media for publishing such lies, especially for fabricating eyewitnesses to the alleged fight.
According to the London based Elaph, an Egyptian weekly published an article stating a heated fight had broke out between the two women, and had almost become physical. Supposedly the two were fighting over the schedule of their appearances at a famous Cairo hotel, where they were both performing.
It is true that the two performed at the same hotel, but at different intervals and rarely ran into one another, Shahinaz explained.
On a different note, an appeals court in Cairo has released a verdict of not guilty in the lawsuit against Egyptian businessman Hussam Abu El Fotooh, who was accused of filming pornographic videos of him and his ex-wife Dina.
The court reversed the one-year sentence against Hussam after Dina dropped all charges against him, and revealed that she had consented to the filming.
Dina testified that the pornographic CD featuring her and Hussam, which was leaked to the public and posted on the internet, was filmed at his home and offices in London.
