KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Hope Solo is kicking off her cleats for some dancing shoes. It’s making her about as nervous as a World Cup final. The U.S. goalkeeper and international soccer icon will make her sole-sliding debut on the newest season of “Dancing With the Stars” on Monday night, joining NBA star Ron Artest as the latest athletes to try their hand at the foxtrot, two-step and the Viennese waltz. Pictures: “Dancing with the Stars” Season 13 “I don’t think I should have been the first from the team to be chosen for the show because of my dance moves,” Solo confided. “Lauren Cheney can really bust a move.” That may be true, but Solo is the one fast becoming a pop culture icon. After losing in crushing fashion at the World Cup final in Germany — a shootout defeat to Japan that has already gone down as one of the greatest women’s soccer games ever — Solo has exploded into the public consciousness, recognized by soccer fans, sports fans and the general public alike. She appeared on the “Late Show” with David Letterman along with teammate Abby Wambach, attended the New York City premier for the final season of HBO’s “Entourage” with teammate Alex Morgan, and landed high-profile endorsement contracts with Gatorade and Bank of America.

Osteoporosis is a disease that, over time, weakens the bones, making them more likely to break. Actress Blythe Danner — Gwyneth Paltrow’s mother — was recently diagnosed with postmenopausal osteoporosis. CBS News Medical Correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton sat down with the Hollywood veteran to talk about the diagnosis and how it has changed her life. For the actress, activist, mother, and grandmother, slowing down is not an option. A bone fracture can be a life changing event, as Danner learned. More on Blythe’s osteoporosis awareness campaign “When I heard the statistics that one-in-two women over the age of 50 will have a fracture related to osteoporosis, I really sat up and said, ‘This is horrific. This is more than nine million women,”‘ Danner said. Ashton said, “OK, so go back to 2009 when you broke your foot. When someone is as active and busy as you are, working woman, grandmother, and all of a sudden, you have an injury. What was that like for you?” “Terrifying,” Danner said. “I’ve been really proud of my independence.” Nearly 10 years ago, Danner’s husband of 33 years, director Bruce Paltrow lost his battle with oral cancer. Danner said, “My husband was really the heart and strength of my family, he was extraordinary,and I really had to learn how to do it all on my own. But I thought, ‘How am I going...
