California - Arab Today
Facebook Inc. hired MTV executive Mina Lefevre to develop original TV shows for the world’s largest social network.
Lefevre, who oversaw all scripted programming at MTV, will lead development of scripted and unscripted programming for Menlo Park, California-based Facebook, which has been investing greater resources into original video content over the past year. Lefevre joins a team being run by Ricky Van Veen, co-founder of CollegeHumor.
"I have always been drawn to the idea of building something and the idea of being part of the team that helps build Facebook’s original content ecosystem... well, that just seems like a dream!” Lefevre said Wednesday in a post on Facebook.
The second-largest company in online advertising, Facebook is diving into video to siphon more dollars away from TV. The company has hired executives to lead the effort and has been talking to talent agents, production companies and filmmakers about producing videos for the site.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
