(CBS/AP) PJ Harvey let England shake all the way to the Mercury Prize, as her eighth studio album beat Adele’s “21” for Best Album. Harvey has become the only artist to win Britain’s prestigious Mercury Prize on two separate occasions. Many commentators expected Adele to take home the 20th annual award for Best Album, after she dominated album and single charts across the globe with her sophomore release “21.” However, on Tuesday evening, Harvey was presented with a check for 20,000 pounds – about $31,885 – by show host Jools Holland and, if previous form is anything to go by, will now enjoy dramatically increased sales of the critically acclaimed “Let England Shake.” Accepting her award in a figure-hugging white dress, the Dorset-born musician recalled winning her first Mercury for album “Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea” a decade ago. “When I last won, which was 10 years ago on September the 11th 2001. I was in Washington, D.C., watching the Pentagon burn from my hotel window, so it’s good to be here.” The shortlist, which was initially made up of over 240 albums, was whittled down to 12 in July, before the Chair of Judges Simon Frith and a selected panel of musicians and industry insiders picked their final winner on the night. “Let England Shake” was recorded in a Dorset church and features three of...

(AP) CAIRO – Egypt’s president on Saturday stressed the need for his country to have a bigger role in international affairs, using his first local television interview to urge the Syrian government to end the carnage coursing through Cairo’s onetime ally. “The Syrian regime needs to understand that the continuation of bloodshed goes against all laws, desires, history and humanity,” Mohammed Morsi said in the hour-long interview, broadcast on state TV. The one-on-one interview addressed a range of issues facing the new president, who was sworn into office on June 30 in the country’s first free presidential elections. He assumed the post after a rocky transitional period governed by the country’s military, which took power after last year’s uprising that ousted longtime President Hosni Mubarak. Egypt’s uprising inspired others in the region, including in Syria. More in After the Arab Spring “Egypt is not on the sidelines of this problem. There is a positive and personal relationship between the Egyptian people and the Syrian people,” Morsi said, in a reference to the shortly-lived alliance that ended in 1961 between Egypt and Syria, when both nations shared the same flag as part of a union. “The Syrian struggle pains us now, pains all people of the region.” Rebels move command center from Turkey to SyriaAssad: Syrian rebels will be defeated Syria’s bloody 18-month conflict, which activists say has killed nearly...

Ashton Kutcher is a modern-day Renaissance Man, with his movie, television and social media ventures, but this Monday, all eyes will be on him as he makes his debut on the hit sitcom “Two and a Half Men.” “Early Show” co-anchor Chris Wragge caught up with Kutcher to talk about the season premiere — and 온라인카지노 the pressure. Pictures: Fall TV on CBS So what does it feel like to be the new man on “Two and a Half Men”? “I feel like the luckiest guy in the world,” Kutcher said. And what was it that was so appealing to you about getting back into television? “I just offhandedly mentioned to a friend (that), if they offer me that job, I’d take it,” Kutcher said. “It’s always sort of nice to jump on something that’s already moving and successful and people already have an appetite for. It just seemed like the best job in the world” Perhaps too good, Wragge remarked, for its previous occupant, Charlie Sheen. His eight-season run as hard-living Charlie Harper came to an end after a series of now-infamous feuds and rants. But Kutcher is quick to say he’s not trying to fill Sheen’s shoes. “Here’s the thing,” Kutcher said. “Charlie was incredible on the show and I can’t, there’s no way I’m going to replace Charlie Sheen. I’m not playing his character. But it’s...
