cbs reporter lara logan

Lara Logan, a correspondent for TV program "60 minutes" was reportedly sexually assaulted several times by thugs shouting "Jew! Jew!" as she was reporting on the mayhemic fall of president Hosni Mubarak in the main square of Cairo on Friday, sources have revealed yesterday.

The TV crew with Logan, who is also the network's chief foreign correspondent, had its cameras rolling moments before she was dragged off -- and caught her on tape looking tense and trying to head away from a crowd of men behind her in Tahrir Square. In the crush of the mob, she was separated from her crew. She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers. She reconnected with the CBS team, returned to her hotel and returned to the United States on the first flight the next morning.

She is currently in hospital recovering from the ordeal sources say and there will be no further correspondance at this time out of respect for her family.

the rock returns 2011

WWE superstar The Rock has decided to come back to the WWE after a decade log hiatus of frequenting the hollywood hills. Last night's episode of WWE Raw declared that the star of "The Scorpion King" and one of the WWEs biggest names during their attitude era is to be the host of Wrestlemania 27 this year.

After the lights dimmed on the show's stage, the crowd went wild as The Rock – real name Dwayne Johnson – walked out and said his signature line, "If you smell what the Rock is cooking!!!" Wearing sunglasses and a shirt reading "I Bring It," Johnson walked across the stage staring out at the audience, before stepping into the ring for the first time in seven years. "Finally, the Rock has come back home!" he yelled. Johnson left professional wrestling in 2004 -- making his last appearance at WrestleMania XX -- for the movies.

So a welcome comeback for one of Vince McMahons proudest names to grace his wrestling corporation.

reporter stroke

Rumors have been surfacing across the internet that CBS reporter Serene Branson might have suffered a stroke whilst reporting for the channel. The truth at the moment is still hazy and it has been reported that the news reporter had been looked over by paramedics.

The full update on Serene reads: "Serene Branson was examined by paramedics on scene immediately after her broadcast. Her vital signs were normal. She was not hospitalized. As a precautionary measure, a colleague gave her a ride home and she says that she is feeling fine this morning." It's unclear when the update was posted or if more will come.

So a shocking mishap for all to see and the mystery behind the stumbling is still to be revealed.

sports illustrated swimsuit 2011

Last night talk show host David Letterman revealed the identity of the Russian model who is the 2011 sports illustrated cover model. Her name is Irina Shayk and it's her fifth entry in the issue but her first time on the front cover. The news came out by accident yesterday when an office worker took a photo of a billboard where Shayk was on.

"There were 10 models there to do the Top 10 List, and nobody knows until the last minute who the cover will be," Shayk (who is dating soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo) said. "And then I saw it, and I couldn't believe it."The Russian model’s cover was briefly revealed earlier today on a large billboard in New York’s Times Square for a segment to air later tonight on “Late Show with David Letterman.”In addition to her work on the catwalk and in the pages of fashion magazines, Shayk is also known for dating soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

So certainly a treat for the eyes on this years sports illustrated cover and the knowledge of the cover appeared to be a mishap of information.

christina aguilera falls at grammys

It hasn't been a week to remember for famous dirrrty and burlesque pop star Christina Aguilera. After her fluff when performing the national anthem at the super bowl last week, last night she was performing in a tribute to R&B icon Aretha Franklin with four other perfomers on the stage.

She executed the song "Ain't No Way" without any hiccups, but when she was leaving the stage, she fell down -- literally. It's shot from afar and a bit blurry, but it's there, very obviously. Squint and then squirm. At least her performance was impressive. "That was a real sexy ending," Aguilera later said. Aguilera, 30, earned rapturous applause and a standing ovation for her searing, soulful take on "Natural Woman" and other Aretha Franklin classics during an all-star tribute to the recovering Queen of Soul.

So another slip up from the accident prone pop star and certainly a week to forget for the singer!

serene branson

Reporter for CBS Los Angeles Serene Branson has been taken to hospital last night for tests after stumbling incomprehensibly over her speech on a Grammy's broadcast on the channel. On being introduced by the studio, Branson began "Well a very, very...", before mispronouncing "heavily". On trying to pronounce it again he was unable to say it then continued with unintelligible sounds.

It is feared that she may have suffered a stroke on air. Strokes can cause speech problems in different ways, either by interfering with the brain's ability to recognise and construct words, or by preventing the facial muscles from forming syllables correctly. About a third of stroke sufferers develop problems with communicating, although it is often posssible to reverse some of the damage.

So a sad mishap from the reporter and hopefully it is nothing serious that becomes of tests that are performed.

grammy winners

The Grammys night was somewhat owned by the all-American country pop act Lady Antebellum(pictured left) but the biggest surprise emerged from north of the border. Arcade Fire grabbed the Grammy for Best Album of the year for their third full length "The Suburbs", sweeping aside the records from Lady Antebellum, Eminem, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry in the process.

To say this was unexpected would be an understatement. Earlier in the evening, Arcade Fire dropped the Best Alternative Album Grammy to the Black Keys’ “Brothers.” This sets up an interesting theoretical question for Grammyologists: how could “The Suburbs” be designated the best album overall when it isn’t even the best album in its genre? The band doesn’t have the mainstream recognition of Eminem or Lady Gaga, but ever since “Funeral” their 2004 debut, Arcade Fire has been one of the most lauded groups in rock.

So a great night for Lady Antebellum, Arcade Fire and all the participants in the music awards ceremony.
