That’s right

(CBS/AP) LOS ANGELES – The Academy Awards has producers for next year’s awards show, and one of them is the guy who brought you three bad Jackie Chan-Chris Tucker movies. That’s right. Director Brett Ratner is one of the producers. Don Mischer is the other. This will be Ratner’s first involvement with the Oscar show and Mischer’s second: He produced and directed the 2011 Academy Awards telecast and was nominated for an Emmy for his work on the show. Pictures: 2011 Oscar red carpetPictures: 2011 Oscar winners Academy president Tom Sherak made the announcement Thursday. Mischer said in an interview that he’s excited to oversee the Oscars again. “I was just so happy to receive the call from the academy saying we’d like to have you come back,” he said. “It was unexpected and a real delight. More than anything, I’m looking forward to working with Brett.” Ratner said producing the Oscar show is “beyond a dream come true.” “This wasn’t even in my dreams, it’s so far out,” he said. “This is something I never could have imagined.” Ratner has produced and directed both film and television. His credits include “X-Men: The Last Stand,” and the pilot of TV’s “Prison Break.” Mischer is a veteran producer and director of live television events, including Super Bowl halftime shows, Olympics opening ceremonies, the Emmy Awards and this year’s Oscars.

To understand how Eminem got to where he is today, you need to know where he came from: not just a broken home, but a series of them

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...

In addition to the checkpoints, attackers also targeted a cement production company in Sinai, Al Jazeera reports

Updated 12:32 p.m. ET (CBS/AP) At least six security checkpoints in Egypt along the border with Israel were attacked Tuesday, just two days after 16 Egyptian soldiers were killed in similar attacks, according to Egyptian media. State-run media reports 20 people were killed after the Egyptian military launched an aerial assault on the attackers, according to Reuters. Egyptian security officials and residents say Egyptian military attack helicopters fired missiles on suspected Islamic militants. Security officials say it is the first time that the army has fired missiles in Sinai since Egypt’s 1973 war with Israel, which was an attempt to recapture the Sinai Peninsula. Security officials tell The Associated Press that they launched the missile attack just hours after three security checkpoints were attacked by suspected Islamic militants in North Sinai’s main city of El-Arish, some 31 miles from the Gaza-Israel border. Officials say six people were wounded in the attacks — among them a military officer, two soldiers, two policemen and a civilian whose condition is critical. In addition to the checkpoints, attackers also targeted a cement production company in Sinai, Al Jazeera reports. At least two gunmen suspected in that attack have allegedly been arrested. The rugged, rural desert region of Sinai that separates much of populated Egypt from Israel has seen a rise in lawlessness since former President Hosni Mubarak’s fall. Egyptian state media is reportedly...
