In early 2006, publisher Judith Regan signed Dufour to appear in a reality television show which planned to follow her battle for success in the music industry in a fly-on-the-wall documentary. In the end, the project was canceled due to lingering resentments about the September 11 attacks.〔 (mirror ) 〕 At present, she is recording her first album and she now lives in London. She is also set to collaborate with Atlanta rock band Black Lips.〔 (mirror ) 〕 As of 2011, her publicist began referring to her by her birth name, Wafah bin Laden.〔 〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wafah Dufour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
