Suu Kyi, 66, (pictured at left) spent most of the last two decades detained by the former military junta

YANGON, Myanmar – The military-backed government of Myanmar has deported Hollywood actress Michelle Yeoh, who stars as pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi in an upcoming movie, officials said Tuesday. The Malaysian actress arrived in the country’s main city, Yangon, on June 22 and was deported the same day because she was on a blacklist, a government official said. The official, 임실콜걸 who declined to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the press, did not say why Yeoh was on the list. But Myanmar’s repressive government has routinely rejected visa requests of journalists and perceived critics for years. Suu Kyi spokesman Nyan Win confirmed Yeoh was deported but had no other details. The Luc Besson movie about Suu Kyi’s life, “The Lady,” is due out later this year, and Yeoh has said she hopes her portrayal of Suu Kyi will raise awareness about the Nobel Peace Prize winner’s story. Suu Kyi, 66, (pictured at left) spent most of the last two decades detained by the former military junta. She was released last year, just days after an election that her party boycotted and in which she was barred from being a candidate. The vote was the nation’s first in 20 years, and in March, the junta handed power to a civilian government. But critics say little has changed and the new government is merely a...

Tormé puts his spin on the big-band jazz of Alan Jay Lerner’s “Come Back to Me” and the Cole Porter penned title track. He also takes on the pop standards “Autumn Leaves” and “What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?” He gets even more soulful by taking on the smooth sounds of Al Green’s classic “Let’s Stay Together” while also creating his own signature songs. And of course, he brings it home to one of his father’s biggest hits, “Comin’ Home Baby.” Growing up with Mel Tormé for a dad was quite an exciting ride. Tormé was exposed to some of the greatest music in American history because of this father. He had the honor of being around some of the biggest legends in jazz – from Bing Crosby, Duke Ellington, Sammy Davis Jr., Buddy Rich to Ella Fitzgerald. “My dad was a hero to me, and his lifelong love affair with music inspired my own,” Tormé says his official bio. “He was impressing musical tastes and ideas on me from very early on (in my life) and I am endlessly grateful for that.”

At a concert in New Jersey in December, he told audience members to go ahead and get out their cell phones despite his widely  publicized  dislike of pirated music popping up on sites such as YouTube

(CBS) Prince is no stranger to controversy. He courted so much of it that he called his fourth album “Controversy.” These days he’s stirring things up over two topics that have proved incendiary: Religion and his music. The singer, who embraced religion fully and became a Jehovah’s Witness about a decade ago after years of Biblical references in his music, told The Guardian, “It’s fun being in Islamic countries, to know there’s only one religion. There’s order. You wear a burqa. There’s no choice. People are happy with that.” He suggested people who aren’t happy with that are the kind of people who are never happy with anything. Everyone has to change, but this is a guy who sang about losing his virginity in a barn and asked his critics, “Am I black or white? Am I straight or gay?” He wrote “Darling Nikki.” What happened? Prince has always been off-beat. He changed his name to a symbol while he was battling with Warner Bros. over his recording contract and decided “Graffiti Bridge” was a good idea. He’s been all over the news lately with a successful tour and 봉화출장샵 his claim that he won’t record and release new music because of piracy on the Internet. In the same Guardian interview, he says, “‘I’m supposed to go to the White House to talk about copyright protection. It’s like the...

“Extending the period of fiscal adjustment means we will need extra money from our creditors,” acknowledged socialist leader and former finance minister Evangelos Venizelos in his speech to Parliament on Sunday night, hours before the vote

(AP) ATHENS, Greece – Greece’s new three-party coalition government won a vote of confidence in parliament early Monday, ending a period of uncertainty that led to two elections in less than two months, though the country has a long way to go to emerge from a deep recession and pay down its huge debt. There were no surprises in the vote. All 179 deputies of the three parties supporting the government — conservative New Democracy, the socialist PASOK and the moderate leftist Democratic Left — voted in favor. Voting against were the 121 deputies of the Radical Left Coalition (Syriza), the nationalist right Independent Greeks, the extreme right Golden Dawn and the Communist Party. In his concluding speech just before the vote, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras said that, despite their diverse political backgrounds, the three coalition partners have a unity of purpose — to keep the country in the Eurozone and out of its deepest and longest recession, now in its fifth year. In the third quarter, the country’s GDP had its sharpest drop yet, declining 9.1 percent compared to the same period in 2011. Greece’s battered economy is forecast to shrink 6.7 percent for the whole year, far above earlier official forecasts of a 4.5 percent shrinkage. “Us three, we have admitted our past mistakes and we are now embarked in a common cause,” Samaras said, addressing the...

(CBS/AP) ANKARA, Turkey – NATO will hold emergency talks on Tuesday to discuss Syria’s downing of a Turkish jet fighter, but the alliance is not expected to take military action, even if it confirms Turkey’s claim that the unarmed plane was attacked in international airspace.
