Crystal ball predictions: What will happen to Arab celebs in 2016

Published December 27th, 2015 - 06:42 GMT

Unfortunately, there’s no legit crystal ball to give us a heads up of the dreams that will come true or the drama that will unfold in the following year, but based on our insight into the Arab celebosphere, Al Bawaba can pretty well guess some possible scenarios that will play out in 2016.

Spoiler alert: babies will be born, songs will be sung, films will be made, and somebody's going to space. Consider yourself warned.

Enjoy this tongue and cheek attempt at playing Claire Voyant for our Arab stars. Happy New Year!

Haifa Wehbe’s daughter Zeinab Fayyad gets a divorce, then remarries a man 25 years her senior that already has a grandchild, making her 43-year-old momma the youngest great grandmother in all of Arab stardom. Wehbe will be pleased because being the hottest GILF has already gotten boring.

Amidst more rumors of marital woes, Egyptian singer Tamer Hosny and wife, Moroccan artist Basma Bousil, release a new duet to prove they’re still one heck of a team, and not just in the sack. Of course, the real reason could be that Basma’s jealousy of his female co-stars finally comes to a head, and he has to include her in the mix.

Nancy Ajram fans go into a frenzy when their fave Lebanese songstress crosses over into cinema with a box office hit that breaks every kind of record. Everyone loves her sweet face so much, of course they want an hour plus of it!

Saad Lamjarred attempts to take his 2015 success to the next level, releasing a whole new album that, sadly, just didn’t have enough time marinate. No “LM3ALLEM” level of viral this time.

Dounia Batma’s loaded Bahraini hubby takes on a third wife, enraging the artist enough to inspire her to write, direct, and star in the film, “Diary of Mad Moroccan Woman.”

Amr Diab finally, after 54 years, shows signs of aging with a single wrinkle appearing on his forehead, followed soon after by a strand of grey.

Nicole Saba and Youssef Al Khal make out in public, leaving traditionalists' eyes popping because everyone knows married couples shouldn’t act like they actually like each other in front of others, even if you are the hottest celebrity couple this side of the Mediterranean.

Ahlam finally makes enough enemies in the Middle East that she decides to start life afresh in the U.S. To make ends meet, she takes on a reality show, giving the Kardashian divas a run for their money.

We always knew Elissa’s looks were out this world. This year, we bet her flirtations finally land her on the moon, or at least into the arms of an astronaut that takes her on a trip to space.

Carole Samaha recently gave birth to her firstborn daughter Tala, but with that biological clock a tickin’, we wouldn’t be shocked if the 43-year-old singer announces she’s got not one but two babies on the way. #twinsies
