Eddie Murphy to Play Inspector Clouseau in a New "Pink Panther" Movie
Yara Sameh As if Eddie Murphy wasn't already synonymous with iconic franchises, the veteran actor revealed that he'd soon be taking on the famed role of Inspector Clouseau in a new "Pink Panther" movie. He was first reported to be circling the role in 2023. Speaking to Today's Al Roker , Murphy said he had initially 'planned on slowing down, and things just happened' with regard to his slate of upcoming projects. 'I'm getting ready to do a [biopic of] George Clinton, [his music collective] Parliament-Funkadelic. I'm getting ready to do George Clinton,' The Pickup star said, confirming Deadline's scoop last year. 'I've already started Shrek 5. And I'm going to be — I'm Inspector Clouseau in the next Pink Panther.' When Roker reacted with surprise, asking if the canonically French character would still be written as such with Murphy occupying the role, the Saturday Night Live alum responded coyly: 'Maybe. Well, he has to be French, but he could also be Haitian. I will tell you, he's Black. He's Black, for sure.' Peter Sellers first originated the role of Inspector James Clouseau in 1963's "The Pink Panther", directed by Blake Edwards, an Italian and U.S. co-production about an inept detective who must stop a notorious jewel thief aiming to steal the precious Pink Panther diamond. The farcical character is a parody of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, and has been portrayed in various sequels by Alan Arkin, Roger Moore and, most recently, Steve Martin in the 2006 reboot and subsequent 2009 sequel. Also known simply as the Inspector, the character additionally appeared in various animated series featuring the anthropomorphic Pink Panther. 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 Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Ahmed Saad lights up summer with first part of new album - Music - Arts & Culture
Egyptian singer Ahmed Saad has released the first part of his new album, Beyestahbel, which features cheerful, summer-themed tracks that have already gained significant traction across streaming platforms, shedding light on his collaboration with Amr Saad and Ruby. Released on 16 July, the first part of the album features five tracks: the title song Beyestahbel, Akhouya (a collaboration with his brother, Amr Saad), Mekassarat, Tany (a duet with Ruby), and Batta. The second part will be released on 24 July and will include five additional tracks. The already released songs are filled with upbeat rhythms and playful tone, marking a continuation of Saad's signature style while offering a fresh, carefree sound that resonates with listeners during the peak of the season. Beyestahbel (loosely translated to Playing Dumb) is a light‑hearted, playful, and a bit tongue‑in‑cheek song that frames a character who "pretends to be silly." The song serves as a microcosm of the album's style: humorous, upbeat, experimental, and aimed squarely at summer listeners seeking energetic and relatable content. Another track, titled Akhouya (My Brother), features the singer's brother, actor Amr Saad. The lyrics emphasise siblings' emotional bonding, trust, and mutual support, especially in the face of adversity. Third in line comes Mekassarat, a song that conveys a message of saying "no" to perfectionism and stress, advocating for personal well-being and mental peace over societal pressure. It captures the carefree essence of summer and 'mental liberation'. The music video quickly rose to the top of YouTube, garnering almost 700,000 views in just four days and ranking #3 on the Charts for Trending music. In turn, the song titled Tany (Again) garnered almost 1 million views on YouTube, in large part due to Saad's collaboration with well-known singer Ruby. This is the second time the two singers have collaborated, after the success of their previous 2023 hit Ya Layaly. The song's lyrics are built around a playful, light-hearted concept of encountering someone "again" and questioning why they have returned now, especially after one has moved on. Similar to other songs from the album, Tany's music video relies on vibrant summer aesthetics—bold outfits, playful banter, and expressive choreography—matching the upbeat nature of the song. The final song in the set is titled Batta, a fun and comedic song whose lyrics describe a confident and captivating woman who stands out in any crowd, with her unique presence and the effect she has on those around her. All five songs from the first part of the Beyestahbel album garnered between 400,000 and 1 million views so far. Complementing the summer vibes, the songs blend traditional shaabi elements with contemporary pop and dance influences, with each being accompanied by a visually compelling music video. Directed by renowned filmmakers like Taha El-Tounsi and Ahmed Abdel-Wahid, the videos are characterised by their high production values and engaging narratives. Ahmed Saad The 43-year-old pop and shaabi singer came to the limelight in 2003, releasing several albums and many successful hits since then. His single Aleky Eyoun, released in 2022, has garnered over 300 million views on YouTube. Saad often collaborates with various Arab musicians, including Assala, Ruby, Hany Shaker, and Bahaa Sultan.
