As you might imagine, budding pop star Waffa Binladin is having a hard time convincing people to look beyond her family name.

Yes, that Bin Laden. The 26-year-old lawyer — whose family changed the spelling of their last name several years ago — and who is the estranged niece of 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden, has been meeting with producers and managers in the United States and England over the past year in an attempt to launch a career as a pop singer. But, despite renouncing her Muslim past, distancing herself from her infamous uncle years ago and logging time on the English club scene, Binladin has yet to shake the stigma of her surname.

Do you think her name will affect her career (as in kill it or launch it)?

I think her name could kill her career.

A lot of people could continue associating her with her uncle even if they ARE estranged. If she really wanted to be successful, she should have changed her name before getting publicity.

She changed her name.

And her life was fine up until 9/11.

I watched something about her on Extra or something, and she was recording her CD so...Maybe she will be able to have a career. She's very pretty, except the botox-ed lips.

But I think it's sad--what is happening to her. Just because she is affiliated with him...

I agree, but in my opinion, they should just let her name go. She wasn't the terrorist after all...

I read about her in this one magazine.

I think her name would kill it.

If she's good then people should forget about her name. She's pretty!

She's cute. It doesn't matter whether or not she can sing, her attractiveness is marketable. But ever since the US got involved with Osama Bin Laden 20 odd years ago, it kinda foreshadowed the downfall of her personal life.

If she changed her name to something sexy; something pornstar-ish, and kept the fact that she's Osama's niece under wraps, she might get her 15 minutes of fame. Until, of course, the ignorant masses (American public) catches wind of her bloodline.

well, it could go both ways. one, it'd just kill her career just because of her last name, but two, people might be interested in her just also due to her last name.

so far.. her name brought her a lot of publicity that she otherwise wouldn't have gotten

i think, if anything, her name will help her in that it will give her much needed publicity and exposure, things a unknown start up singer can only dream about
