Haifa Wehbe

 

Haifa Wehbe was born in a small farming town near South Lebanon to a Lebanese Father and an Egyptian Mother. She grew up listening to jazz and R&B. She became a model at a very young age and won the title of "Miss South Lebanon" at age sixteen.
Wehbe's next distinction came in 1995 when she was runner up for Miss Lebanon. However, it was shortly discovered that she was married and had a daughter named Zeinab (Zaza). Her title was revoked due to this reason. By 1996, she had recovered from the scandal and continued to model. She was seen on over 100 magazine covers

In addition to her great success in music, Wehbe is known for her sensual image. Her racy outfits have been considered scandalous in some consrvative countries and drew criticism from Islamists. In March of 2006 a video of Wehbe's dress coming undone reportedly circulated on the web. Her management stated that the video was fabricated and "not worth worrying about." Her controversial song "Rejab" (pronounced Regab ) was filled with Egpytian sexual innuendo. In a later interview, she claimed that Regab was a real person named Ahmed Rejab. Haifa Wehbe, although stating that Rejab was one of her lovers, refuses to release his identity.
She was ranked forty-nine in the 2006 Edition of the Top 99 Most Desirable Women by the popular website AskMen.com
