Haifa Wehbe (Arabic: هيفا وهبي‎ also spelled Haifa Wehbeh, Haifa Wahbi, Hayfa Wehbe, Hayfa Wehbi; born March 11, 1976[1]), is a Lebanese model, actress, and singer who rose to fame in the Arab world as runner up for 'Miss Lebanon' and later the release of her debut album Huwa az-Zaman (Arabic: هو الزمن It is Time). Wehbe was born in a small farming town near Southern Lebanon.[2] 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. By 1996 She was seen on over 100 magazine covers. In 2006, she was on People Magazine's 50 most beautiful people list. She released her first album, titled Huwa az-Zaman (Arabic: هو الزمن It is Time) which was a hit thanks to her debut single "Agoul Ahwak" (I say I love you)". Her second album Baddi 'Ayš (Arabic: بدي عيش I Want to Live) was released in 2005 and lived up to expectations due to the success of its lead single "Hayat Albi." Released after the assassination of Lebanese politician Rafik Hariri, the song of the same name is about "freedom, considered to be among the most basic of human rights."[3] Her follow-up single was her biggest hit to date, "Ana Haifa" (I am Haifa) which became her novelty song. In 2006 she released a follow up single Bus al-Wawa which so far has sold respectably. Haifa was exclusively interviewed by CNN, Arte TV, Canal plus (France) and the first Arabic
