Posted February 8, 200718 yr Could Fashion Hold Key to MidEast Peace? While journalists from prestigious outlets like the New York Times waited 45 minutes in the cold Tuesday night to get into the Heatherette show, an unexpected threesome from Middle Eastern AlHurra TV was enjoying unfettered backstage access. "They really love fashion and New York over there," said Assia Pojo, the network's style correspondent. The 28-year-old Lebanese reporter told Radar that AlHurra, based in Washington, D.C., broadcasts to 22 countries in the region, "including Iraq." (The network's website notes that AlHurra, Arabic for "The Free One," is a "commerical-free Arabic language satellite television network for the Middle East devoted primarily to news and information.") Pojo had just finished shooting a segment with noted transsexual Amanda Lepore when she explained her mission: "We're all about trying to change the Middle East's perception of America in a fair way." Radar asked if she was angling for an exclusive with Britney Spears, who was rumored to be in the vicinity. "Oh, that'd be great! She's huge over there. They all know her lyrics," she said. What about Paris Hilton? "She's less popular. We're liberal. But not like that." SOURCE
