The webtoon has amassed over 2.6 billion views to date and follows Navier, a perfect empress whose world is turned upside down when her husband returns home with his mistress and demands a divorce. Rather than accept defeat, Navier agrees to the divorce but counters by asking to marry a rival prince of the Western Kingdom, setting off a tale of political intrigue, romance and a fight to reclaim stolen power.
The series will be adapted for streaming by Yeoh Geena and Hyun Choong-yeol, the duo behind 'The Uncanny Counter,' with Cho Su-won ('Still 17,' 'Pinocchio') directing.
'The Remarried Empress' joins Disney+'s expanding slate of Korean originals, which also includes recent projects like "A Shop For Killers", criminal mystery "Nine Puzzles", "Low Life", and international conspiracy "Tempest".

Amr Diab Drops Album "Ebtadena"
Yara Sameh "El Hadaba' Amr Diab has finally dropped on Thursday his long-awaited album "Ebtadena" on music digital platforms and YouTube. The album consists of 15 songs, including a duet with his son Abdallah and his daughter Jana, respectively. In the new album, the acclaimed singer also collaborated with a large number of poets and composers, including Amr Mostafa, Bahaa El Din Mohamed, Ayman Bahgat Kamar, Tamer Hussein, and Aziz Al-Shafi'i. Born on October 11, 1961, Diab is a multi-award-winning pop singer-songwriter. He created his own style which is often termed 'Mediterranean Music', a blend of Western and Egyptian rhythms, by 1992, he became the first Arabic artist to start making high-tech music videos. He is a Guinness World Record holder, the best-selling Middle Eastern artist, a seven-time winner of World Music Awards, and a five-time winner of Platinum Records. Diab's fame in the entertainment industry has led him to experiment with other forms of media, such as film-making. The acclaimed singer co-starred in four films, 'Al Sagenatan', 'El Afareet', 'Ice Cream in Gleam', and 'Dehk Wa Le'b Wa Gad Wa Hob'. In 1988, he made his acting debut in the film 'Al Sagenatan' starring prominent actresses Elham Shahin and Samah Anwar. Despite the films' success, Diab did not experience the same success in acting as he had with his music. He has focused on his singing career since 1993. In 2020, the iconic singer signed on to make an acting comeback in an original Arabic series for Netflix. The project has yet to come to light. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Deepika Padukone Becomes First Indian Actress to Receive Hollywood Walk of Fame Star
Yara Sameh Deepika Padukone is one of the names on the Hollywood Walk of Fame class of 2026 list, becoming the first Indian actress to get a star on the famed boulevard. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday released a list of diverse lineup of 35 individuals set to receive their stars on the iconic boulevard. This year's honorees include a mix of multi-generational talents who have left indelible marks on their respective industries. The musician, actors and sports persona are among the most notable names on the Hollywood Walk of Fame class of 2026 list. Honorees were chosen across five varying categories, including motion pictures, television, live theatre/live performance, recording and sports entertainment. Padukone was named in the motion pictures category alongside actors and filmmakers Emily Blunt, Timothée Chalamet, Chris Columbus, Demi Moore, and Marion Cotillard. The list also included Miley Cyrus, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Rami Malek, Josh Groban, Shaquille O'Neal, and chef Gordon Ramsay. 'We are excited to announce the newest selection of 35 esteemed individuals who will be enshrined onto the Walk of Fame as part of the prestigious Class of 2026,' Peter Roth, former Warner Bros Television CEO and chairman of the Walk of Fame selection committee, said. 'These talented individuals have made significant contributions to the world of entertainment, and we are thrilled to honor them with this well-deserved recognition.' Dates for the star ceremonies are yet to be scheduled. Recipients are given two years from selection date to schedule the ceremonies, after which the honour expires if unclaimed. Padukone made her debut with Kannada film Aishwarya in 2006 and starred in Bollywood's "Om Shanti Om" the following year opposite megastar Shah Rukh Khan. The film became the highest grossing Hindi film of the year and won Padukone a Filmfare award. She went on to become one of Bollywood's highest-paid and most recognisable stars, headlining a string of both critically acclaimed and commercially successful films such as "Piku", "Chennai Express", "Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela", and "Bajirao Mastani." read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
