"Queen" Ahlam is planning on hosting her very own talk show, which she believes will be the equivalent of, erm, the world famous Oprah Winfrey Show! Ha ha, did you chuckle a bit too?

But wait, there's more! The narcissistic Emirati singer would want to name the show... wait for it... you've guessed it: "AHLAM"! 

"It's going to be called "Ahlam." Is there actually anything better than the name Ahlam? Just Ahlam," she told MBC's entertainment show "ET Bel Arabi."

Right about now, English pop singer Chesney Hawkes' famous lyrics come to mind: "I am the one and only, Nobody I'd rather be, You can't take that away from me"!!!

The Arab Idol judge is seriously thinking of competing with Oprah, but in the Arab world. Sorry Ahlam, no one can compete with this talk show legend!

"Because I'm Ahlam, I don't look down, I only look up. Oprah is number one in the world and my show aspires to be identical to hers and of the exact same standards," she said, according to Sotor News. 

Let's be honest, despite her stardom, Ahlam isn't one of the most-adored celebrities in the Middle East. Her arrogance and love for criticising anything and everything - remember the time she called Arabs Got Talent's sweetheart Yasmina's voice "emotionless"? - has often landed her in hot water with fellow stars and social media users.

If she's any chance of people actually watching (and liking) her, she will have to go Oprah all the way and give out amazing free gifts to her studio audience every time!

On a serious note though, the singer said that one of the first topics she'll be discussing during her upcoming show will be famine in the Arab world and violence against women, in addition to anything fashion, of course. Kudos to you ma lady!
