This story was first published Oct. 10, 2010. It was updated on August 2, 2011. His real name is Marshall Mathers, but you probably know him as Eminem. He is the biggest selling artist of the past decade, earning 13 Grammies, one Oscar, and mountains of criticism for lyrics that are as profane as they are poetic. Whether you are a fan of rap or not, Eminem’s life story is an extraordinary tale of success, against all odds – a story he rarely talks about and one we first told you about last October. Back then, CNN’s Anderson Cooper met up with Eminem in his hometown Detroit in order to find out how a white kid who never made it past the ninth grade was able to propel himself to the top of a predominantly African American art form. 60 Minutes Overtime: Eminem & Anderson Cooper CNN’s Anderson Cooper shares all the unpredictable moments that happened on his “60 Minutes” shoot with Eminem. When Eminem stepped out of the shadows last summer in Detroit, in front of 40,000 people, it was a triumphant comeback for a super star who had all but disappeared. Now 38 and sober, after struggling with addiction for five years, he has the energy and intensity of a boxer, a fighter trying to win from the crowd one simple thing: “Respect,” he told Cooper. “You...

(AP) UNITED NATIONS – Former Algerian foreign affairs minister Lakhdar Brahimi is a strong candidate to replace Kofi Annan as peace envoy to Syria, diplomats said Thursday. Diplomats who requested anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly said that Brahimi was a strong possibility, while other contenders are ex-Spanish foreign affairs minister Miguel Angel Moratinos and Spain’s Javier Solana, a former NATO chief and European Union foreign policy head. Annan, a former U.N. secretary-general, announced his resignation last week as joint U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria, ending a frustrating six-month effort that failed to achieve even a temporary cease-fire. He leaves at the end of the month.

Annan did succeed in getting the Syrian government and its allies to at least agree to the plan. Brahimi, 78, served as Algeria’s...
