“She’s a goalkeeper

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. U.S. soccer stars get their kicks on Letterman Solo is approaching...

“But he was kind enough to die, and then I was able to continue

(CBS/AP) Who has the most Emmys won by an actor, male or female? Mary Tyler Moore? Johnny Chase? Bill Cosby? Bea Arthur? Nope. Cloris Leachman. Pictures: Emmy nominees 2011Pictures: Creative Arts Emmys She had a chance to top herself at last week’s Creative Arts Emmy ceremony, set to air this Saturday on ReelzChannel, for her guest-starring role on “Raising Hope.” Leachman plays the only occasionally lucid Maw Maw on the Fox sitcom, which also earned star Martha Plimpton a nomination for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series. The 85-year-old Leachman has won one Daytime and eight Primetime Emmy awards, but – spoiler alert – she lost out on her 10th trophy to “Glee” guest actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Still, Leachman’s Emmy record remains intact. “Well, I used to be tied with Sir Lawrence Olivier,” she said. “But he was kind enough to die, and then I was able to continue. So I thought that was very, very big of him especially since he’s English.” Leachman, whose first credits date back to the late 1940s, 더나인카지노 is perhaps best known for her work on the `70s sitcom classic “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” She said the Emmys have been cause for a friendly competition between her and her “MTM” costars, fellow multiple winners Moore and Ed Asner. “I remember Mary saying, `You have nine? I thought you had eight.’ `No,...

Instead, it’s widely believed that the site may have been used to test explosives of the sort necessary to detonate nuclear weapons

(CBS/AP) VIENNA – Diplomats say the U.N. atomic agency has new intelligence that Iran has advanced its work on calculating the destructive power of a nuclear warhead, a step toward building such a weapon. The diplomats say the information — from the U.S., Israel and at least one other country — alleges the research was done within the past three years. Iran denies that it has worked on nuclear arms and says allegations to the contrary are based on fabricated intelligence. But the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) gives credence to the suspicions and says it cannot disprove them unless Iran starts cooperating with its probe of the allegations.

(CBS) Notable among the films, documentaries, TV movies and literary works created in the wake of Sept. 11 is “Rebirth,” a documentary slated for release just days before the tenth anniversary of the event that devastated the lives of thousands and forever changed the way we view the world. Directed by Jim Whitaker, the documentary tracks for nearly a decade the journeys of five individuals whose lives were shattered on that day in 2001. Complete coverage: 9/11 anniversary Whitaker lost his mother six months before Sept. 11 and it was following a visit to ground zero a short time after the attacks that the idea of “Rebirth” was galvanized.
