Bin Laden's niece gets her own reality show

I think the requirement to get your own
reality show is that you have one mildly interesting thing about you. For instance, Wafah Dofour bin Laden happens to
be Osama bin Laden's niece. Of course, she's never actually met the criminal mastermind. She's an American who was born
in California, lived in Saudi Arabia from age three to 10, and has a master's degree in law from Columbia University.
She's putting that degree to work by trying to launch a career in music and has already received headlines for her
provocative photos in GQ Magazine last December. The producers of the reality series say it'll be about her "quest
for stardom", but they also claim she'll be bridging the gap between cultures.Wafah Dofour has actually dropped the last name 'bin Laden', for obvious reasons. But, she also is obviously exploiting her blood relative because, why else would this chick get her own reality show? Sure, she's hot. But that's only grounds for a guest appearance on Fear Factor.
