PARK AVENUE PRINCESS: Wafah Binladin
Posted on 03/17/2005 12:31:27 PM PST by MisterRepublican
She walks down the street on the Upper East Side, thin and stylish, another well-heeled beauty chatting away on her cellphone.
Except that she isn't — she's Osama bin Laden's niece.
Wafah Binladin left the city in the months before her uncle's ghastly attack, but she's back now, living at a friend's posh pad off Park Avenue, pursuing her career as a pop star and living it up on the social scene at swanky Soho House.
A former Columbia student who grew up in Geneva, she takes the subway around town, Elton John sheet music under her arm, trading on her connections and looking for a way into the music scene.
But friends say Wafah is wearing out her welcome with her upscale pals.
"She wants to be a pop star, but no record company will have her," said one pal.
"At first, we all had sympathy for her and thought she was a nice girl with an unfortunate family connection." But the pal said Wafah's "attitude" is alienating people.
"She's this extremely wealthy girl who is used to getting what she wants and having people jump at her every word," the friend said.
"She keeps saying, 'Poor me — I have no family because I left to pursue my dream.' She has no family because her uncle is a terrorist," the pal said.

Priceless.
-good times, G.J.P. (Jr.)
Beauty? I'll be the judge of that. Pics?
Wonder if she has considered changing her name.
Wafah Binladin Binthere?
She sounds like a perfectly normal spoiled b*t*h!
The gang on Fox & Friends was discussing her name change the other morning. You see, she changed it drastically. She removed the space. Please.
Wafah Yudoodat?
Can't really tell in that pic, although she doesn't appear to have that "Scottie Pippen" look about her, so she probably didn't inherit her infamous uncle's "looks" genes.
Wafah Wannabe
Unless she has a heck of a lot of natural talent, she has a better chance getting a recording deal with the bin Laden name than without it. Some stupid record company will offer her a deal, if only to demonstrate how open minded and progressive they are.
Nobody breaks into show-biz anymore without a family angle, unless they are really extraordinary. When you see a mediocre talent with a big deal, it means they are somebody's kid.
Wafah Yuzabeeotch?
" Wafah also has been known to use aliases — insisting one night her name was really Amanda, and once speculating she might change her name to Deborah, pals said."
She left NYC months before the 9/11 attacks? Hmmmm......
What did she know and when did she know it?
Wonder if she has considered changing her name.
Wafah Has Been laden ?
She should make a big deal out of the fact that her family has rejected her for being Westernized. Or do a charity benefit for Police and Firemen of NYC.
Wahthafah Kharyudoing?
