Saudi palaver over pop idol fever
BBC

The Saudi star of a reality TV show caused such commotion among fans in a Riyadh mall he was reportedly arrested for sparking "an indecent scene".

Hisham Abdel Rahman, 24, winner of this year's Star Academy, was mobbed by male and female fans wanting to kiss him and shake his hand in Kingdom Tower Mall.

Religious police patrolling the area deemed the scene "improper" and tried to break up the crowd.

Mr Rahman was reportedly held after refusing to leave the shopping centre.
