(AP) WASHINGTON – Objections by Sudan’s government have held up the security mission of an elite Marine team that the U.S. planned to send to Khartoum, a U.S. official said Saturday. As a result, the deployment has been delayed and possibly curtailed, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to disclose details on the troop movement. The Marine unit, known as a fleet anti-terrorism security team, was ordered to Sudan in the wake of violence and protests against the U.S. Embassy. Similar teams were sent to Libya on Wednesday after the attack that killed the U.S. ambassador 강랜 and three other Americans in Benghazi, and to Yemen on Friday Dozens protest at U.S. Embassy in ParisAl Qaeda calls for more attacks on embassiesFeds question possible anti-Muslim filmmaker Demonstrators in Sudan stormed the German Embassy before moving on in buses to the U.S. Embassy, where police used tear gas to stop them scaling the walls.

Filled to the brim with floral chintz and lace, pinks and mint greens – the one word to describe Kirstie Alley’s home in Maine would be girly or perhaps, frilly. Overstuffed floral-print chairs sit beneath a delicate chandelier in a sitting room, the kitchen boasts bubblegum pink walls and shelves fit with supplies for the ultimate garden tea party. Each of the bedrooms has vintage-style wallpaper, flouncy drapes and more floral pillows.

Islesboro Island is a high-end enclave home to many wealthy vacationers besides Kirstie Alley, including John Travolta, according to The Real Estalker. Although Alley has been in and out of the gossip mags in the past few years for her weight gains and losses, as well as her reality TV show documenting those struggles, the actress first made a name for herself on the set of Cheers, a role for which she won a Golden Globe. In May 2011, she was runner-up on the reality show “Dancing with the Stars.” Alley bought her Islesboro place in 2003 for $1,150,000 and after outfitting it, is listing it on the Islesboro real estate market for $2,350,000. The home is described as...

(CBS/AP) TORONTO – The Toronto International Film Festival, one of the world’s top cinema showcases and a prelude for contenders at the Academy Awards, will have a broader vibe than usual this year. Stars such as George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams, Glenn Close, Robert De Niro and Viggo Mortensen are on the guest list for the 11-day festival that opens Thursday with an unusually heavy emphasis on music and documentaries. Fall film previewSpecial section: Awards season Pitt is on hand for the premiere of “Moneyball,” a film he has been trying to bring to the screen for years as both star and producer. Directed by Bennett Miller (“Capote”), “Moneyball” casts Pitt as Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane, who rebuilt his team on a shoestring budget applying a fresh statistical approach to find under-appreciated players. “Baseball had relied on a form of statistics that just hadn’t been questioned, and this discovery that had been around for 30 years but had been dismissed showed that there’s much more to it,” Pitt said. “There’s a lot of talented people out there who aren’t being used.” Pitt’s “Ocean’s Eleven” pal Clooney stars in two Toronto films, the family drama “The Descendants” from director Alexander Payne (“Sideways”) and his own latest directing effort, the political saga “The Ides of March,” in which he plays a presidential candidate opposite Ryan Gosling...
