Arabized: The Middle Eastern Versions of Hollywood’s Biggest Stars
Arab culture is what it is, but sometimes, just sometimes when you compare it with the outside world it doesn’t seem all that bad. Here are some of those times:
Amanda Bynes – Zeina
From Bynes’ not-so-secretive tweets to Zeina’s alleged pregnancy from co-star Ahmed Ezz, these ladies have bad hair and bad reps!
James Franco – Ahmed Ezz
They’re hot. They’re funny. It’s impossible not to love them…you’re smiling just looking at them.
Kim Kardashian – Maya Diab
Just look at them, they’re Vogue-ing…and surprisingly well. If you’re a guy, you worship them and if you’re a girl you envy them.
Justin Bieber – Tamer Hosny
Okay, okay. These two look nothing alike and have very little in common except that most people hate them and non-stop ridicule them. In other words, we love to hate these two.
Drake – Sha3ban Abd El Re7eem
They both love tackiness and the color purple.
Joe Jonas – Samo Zain
We drool over these two. So handsome, gods of romance, kings of the facial scruff. Your heart starts “burnin’ up” when they “ye2arabo bas kda.”*sigh*
Lady Gaga – Ghada Abd El Razek
Our ladies in pink, no doubt they’re talented…and also very strange. They sometimes impress you, but most of the time just freak you out.
WE SAID THIS: Don’t miss If Harry Potter Was Egyptian…
