Excerpt:

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Chris Brown had something to tell the judge overseeing his probation during a hearing Thursday, but his lawyer cut him off when the singer raised his hand. "I don't dance, you don't talk," defense attorney Mark Geragos told Brown, who then laughed. "I would like to see you dance, Mr. Geragos," Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg said. It was a light moment near the end of a routine progress hearing for Brown, the singer who is three years into his five years of probation for the 2009 assault on his then-girlfriend, singer Rihanna. Chris Brown: Is there such a thing as loving two people? Brown, who recently revealed he is seeing Rihanna again, has completed his community labor requirements and other probation requirements, according to the latest probation report given the judge.

Excerpt:

New CBS shows still will not be available on Hulu, but the network lately made a deal with Hulu Plus to release its older shows like "Medium" and "Numb3rs" to its $ 8-per-month online video service. ABC, NBC and Fox, whose parent business own Hulu, offer lately aired episodes, such as free of charge next-day gain access to for NBC's "Saturday Night Live." The CW, which is partially had by CBS Corp. , makes recent shows available totally free on Hulu as well. By contrast, the brand-new CBS bargain covers only shows that are not on the air. CBS provides free of charge, next-day access to some of its present shows featuring "The Amazing Race" on CBS.com.

The addition of some 2,600 episodes of older CBS content starting in January bolsters the Hulu Plus offering, which has even more than 2 million subscribers.

HBT: Red Sox, Ortiz 'very close' to new deal

Excerpt:

Getty Images A source informs WEEI's Rob Bradford that the Red Sox and free agent David Ortiz are really close to having a brand-new contract done. (Update: CBS Sports. com's Jon Heyman says the 2 sides are "finalizing an agreement."). Speculation is that the Red Sox-Ortiz settlements have fixated a two-year deal with a yearly salary like the $ 14. 575 million that Ortiz made last season. That $ 14. 575 million salary, which developed after Ortiz accepted arbitration as a free agent last wintertime, was the highest of Ortiz's occupation. Ortiz turns 37 this month, however he hardly appears deserving of a paycut after hitting. 318 /. 415 /. 611 in 324 at-bats last season.

DreamWorks suffers after "Rise of the Guardians" opens weak at holiday box office

Excerpt:

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2," "Skyfall" and "Lincoln" all boosted their box office take over the Thanksgiving weekend, but "Rise of the Guardians" was not as lucky. The animated adventure film opened at No. 4, taking in $36. 2 million since it opened on Wednesday, and the disappointing debut is affecting its studio's bottom line - DreamWorks Animation's stock was down 4. 5 percent at $17. 24 as of 9:40 a.m. on Monday, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Box office analysts had higher hopes for "Guardians," which features modern incarnations of familiar characters including Jack Frost, Santa Claus, the Sandman and the Easter Bunny. Deadline reports that most analysts expected the film to bring in $58 million over the five-day holiday weekend.

The first two conflicts had their roots in Rwanda's 1994 genocide, but now the fighting is mostly over mineral wealth — including minerals used in the world's smart phones and laptops. Congo is rich in diamonds, gold, copper, cobalt and tungsten. The provincial capital of Goma, which lies on the Rwandan border and which fell to the M23 rebel group on Tuesday, is a major processing point for minerals coming out of eastern Congo.

Dali etching donated to Goodwill

Excerpt:

(CNN) -- When an anonymous donor gave art to the Goodwill as an early holiday gift this month, the staff thought it was junk. "Across the board they thought it was ugly," said Shea Munroe, who sorts the art and collectibles donated at Goodwill Industries in Federal Way, Washington. Co-workers told her: "What is that? And why would anybody want that?" The art is actually a Salvador Dali original, by the master surrealist who in his day relished the role of public provocateur with his mind-bending imagery. The work is a colored etching, and the framed piece even features the familiar Dali motif of a melting watch, placed on the wrist of a pointing hand.
