Bin Laden niece to star in reality show.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Osama bin Laden's niece, an aspiring singer who posed for a sexy photo shoot in a men's magazine last year, has signed up for a reality television show about her life and her as yet unfulfilled "quest for stardom."

Wafah Dufour Bin Ladin, whose mother was married to the al Qaeda leader's half brother, was born in California but lived in Saudi Arabia from the age of three to 10.

"I understand that when people hear my last name, they have preconceived notions, but I was born an American and I love my country," Dufour said in a statement from ReganMedia announcing the deal to develop a reality TV series.

Dufour has dropped the "Bin Ladin" -- a different spelling of the Arabic name from that used by Osama bin Laden -- and now goes by the name Wafah Dufour.

Based in New York, Dufour has been promoting herself as a musician and last December appeared in a sultry GQ photo spread, reclining on satin sheets wrapped in feathers and posing in a bubble bath wearing nothing but a necklace.

"Her story will bridge the gap that people feel exists between the cultures she has lived in," ReganMedia President Judith Regan said.

"She is also a young woman who falls in love, has her heart broken, worries about her looks, doesn't always listen to her mother, and hasn't spoken to her father in years," Regan said.

Dufour's mother Carmen bin Ladin wrote the 2004 bestseller "Inside the Kingdom: My Life in Saudi Arabia," an account of her rocky marriage to Yeslama, Osama's half-brother, who amassed a fortune in the family's construction business and started his own investment firm.

Dufour, who earned a master's degree in law from Columbia University, was in Geneva with her mother at the time of the September 11, 2001, attacks. She had said in the past she has never met Osama bin Laden.
She cites U2, Depeche Mode, The Cure and The Cranberries among her musical influences.

Regan has published a string of celebrity authors including Michael Moore and porn star Jenna Jameson, and she was an executive producer on the reality show "Growing Up Gotti" about members of the family best known for its Mafia empire.

Why not? This is America. And, more importantly, if UBL knew, it would be like a slap in the face to him, would it not? It is the exact OPPOSITE of what these guys really want, isn't it?

BTW, with all his wives, he probably has hundreds of nieces and nephews that he has never even heard of.

My biggest concern? That TV people are still making these ridiculous "reality" shows. :rolleyes: Ugggh!
 
I have to agree with Papa Deuce. Still, I think her family background is going to hurt her chances at success. Oh well.
 
I agree with PD also. It's called free speech for a reason, Charlie.
 

:confused3 She's an American, has nothing to do with her uncle, never even met him and has changed her last name and you want me to "write my lawmakers". yeh no. :rolleyes:
 
I'm sorry, you are overreacting and being quite intolerant. You shouldn't judge anyone because of relation. I sure hope you don't have a controversial relative somewhere.

Chill out!
 
I agree with the others, what's the big deal? Just because Osama Bin Laden is who he is doesn't mean his neice is a terrorist as well.
 
I wonder what would bother OBL more, her photo spread or her college degree? :teeth:
 
Charlie, this was tongue-in-cheek, right? Bin Laden probably wouldn't recognize half of his extremely large family.
 
Count me among those who don't think it's a big deal.
I do find it odd that she would want to be in the public eye.
 
Personally, I love the fact that this is a pseudo slap-in-the-face to her uncle. PD is probably right....Osama probably has no idea that this girl even walks the earth, but it's still pretty funny :rotfl2:
 
Oh no please don’t be fooled …don’t take this lightly!!!

I am sure she will be sending out some kind of secret code during her show to terrorist cells across America.

Thank goodness we learned that 2 of the 9/11 terrorists came from the UAE and our brave lawmakers (and media) stopped the port deal!! In this case the girl is related to the top 9/11 terrorist, where are the lawmakers now!!!!!

Hey if the UAE changed their name would we then let them run our ports? NO!!

Even I have a valid, coherent point once in a while it seems. :thumbsup2

Are you serious? A secret code? Please tell us you're kidding!
 
Relax, folks...This is nothing more than another Bush apologist trying to spin Bush's bungling into something that everyone is overreacting to. Charlie is not being serious in this, he's just :stir:
 
Oooooooooooo secret codes and languages now. Sorry I'm not buying into it.
 
It could be a new pastime trying to figure out the code! Ooooh!
