Guerra and his band, 440, won the trophy for record of the year and tropical song for the playful, upbeat “La Llave De Mi Corazon.” The album of the same name also garnered the award for best merengue album. “I want to dedicate this award to the Dominican Republic,” said Guerra of his homeland upon being named the Latin Recording Academy’s person of the year, recognizing career and personal achievements. Guerra talked about Tropical Storm Noel, which recently thrashed the Caribbean nation and killed several dozen. Among the artists Guerra bested in his record of the year win were Martin and other superstars: Beyonce and Shakira, and Miguel Bose and Paulina Rubio. Guerra, credited with popularizing the bachata dance rhythms outside the Dominican Republic, was also up for song of the year and album of the year. Those who worked on Guerra’s album also picked up the award for best engineered album. The superstar performed a medley of “Lola” and “La Bomba,” while Blue Man Group added their signature frenetic dance visuals. Later, Reggaton star Daddy Yankee performed “Ella Me Levanto,” flanked by the scantily clad showgirls of “Folies Bergere,” each wearing colorful feather headpieces. It was one of the show’s several mash-ups of nominees and Las Vegas Strip staples. Martin took home the award for long form music video for “MTV Unplugged” and 스포츠 토토 was up for...

“(It’s) partly because public opinion has really shifted on the war, so there might be a marketing aspect to that,” says Ron Eyerman, a professor of sociology at Yale, about the sudden flood of Iraq-themed or related films. “But of course it takes a long time to make a film, so you’re not going to watch public opinion polls and then start to make a film. The timing of that just doesn’t work.” Films that have already played include Paul Haggis’ “In The Valley of Elah,” about a retired veteran (Tommy Lee Jones) trying to find out why his son was brutally murdered after shipping back from Iraq, and “The Kingdom,” a look at homegrown terrorism in Saudi Arabia dressed in the clothes of an action thriller. More recently, Reese Witherspoon and Meryl Streep top-lined “Rendition,” about a woman whose Arab-American husband is seized and tortured by the U.S. government. The documentary “No End in Sight,” a critical analysis of the Bush administration’s handling of Iraq, surfaced on DVD last month after a limited theatrical run. Still to come is director and star Robert Redford’s “Lions for Lambs” (Nov. 9), which tells three stories about war, patriotism, and the media build-up to the invasion; Brian de Palma’s reportedly brutal “Redacted” (Nov. 16), which uses video-cam footage for an ultra-realistic take on the true story of U.S. soldiers who raped...

(CBS/AP) MADRID – The lawyers for an elderly Spanish woman who made global headlines when she botched the restoration of a fresco of Jesus Christ say she has no interest in a cut of the tourism windfall her work has brought her northeastern Spanish town. But the attorneys are gearing up to put a stop to potential copyright violations of what she created – even though she had not set out to create anything at all. “We want to put some order to this anarchy,” said Antonio Val Carreras Rivera, one of her lawyers. “You do this little by little under legality, and our job is to coordinate to prevent third parties from profiting. We are at the beginning now, we can’t say if she has rights.” The church fresco in the town of Borja was for decades a little-known piece of religious art by a minor Spanish artist. Following the disastrous touch-up, revealed in August, it has found a new fate as a global icon – used to sell products around the world. The fresco depicts Christ with a crown of thorns before crucifixion, in a style style known as “Ecce Homo” (Behold the Man). It stood in peaceful obscurity in the Misericordia Sanctuary since its creation in 1930 – until Gimenez, a longtime devotee of the work, decided it needed to be rescued from flaking caused by...
