Mashrou’ Leila to appear on El Bernameg with Bassem Youssef
I just came across an update by Mashrou’s Leila on Facebook announcing that they will be performing in Bassem Youssef’s show El Bernameg tomorrow night.
Bassem Youssef usually features Egyptian bands criticizing the Muslim Brotherhood with their songs, so I guess Mashrou’ Leila will most probably not be performing one of their songs but rather something special for tomorrow’s episode.
Thew show will be airing at 9:30PM on CBC and at 11:30PM on CBC+2.

A photo of Cesc Fabregas making the “L” sign with his fingers surfaces, and next thing you know he made it because he supports the Free Patriotic Movement after his Lebanese girlfriend told him about Michael Aoun! You can read all about it here.
I’d love to know which genius made that up.

Fouad Makhzoumi in a live twitter session this Saturday
I got some criticism earlier when I wrote about “Khlosna ba2a” campaign by the National Dialogue Party, since you know, blogs like +961 and politics don’ti mixi!
That’s why I’m taking the opportunity to let you know I have just learned that Fouad Makhzoumi, the founder of that party, will be holding a live twitter session this Saturday at 6PM through his account @fmakhzoumi, so that those who are interested (and maybe criticizers) can get to know him more and ask him about his agenda, as I believe moderate figures like him deserve an opportunity to get more exposure.
For more about what Makhzoumi does, you can also check his foundation’s website.

Halal nail polish now available in Lebanon
This was spotted at Inglot in Hamra main street. I wonder what other products may go halal next!
Turned out this Inglot nail polish, unlike other brands, allows water to permeate to the nail itself to make Woudou’ valid, since one of Woudou’ requirements is for water to reach certain body parts including nails.
