Singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen has announced his first world tour in 15 years. The tour kicks off in Canada this June where Cohen began his career. The 73-year-old singer, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this week, will also perform in Europe. Icelandic singer Bjork's pro-Tibet outburst at a Shanghai concert has angered China. China's Culture Ministry said it would tighten controls over foreign singers and other performers after Bjork chanted "Tibet! Tibet!" after her song, "Declare Independence". China has ruled Tibet since its troops marched into the Himalayan region in 1950. The man who sent actress Jodie Foster threatening letters for several years has been arrested on charges of mailing a bomb threat to an airport in southern California. The Massachusetts man was charged with mailing a threatening letter to Van Nuys Airport in early December. The note was one of more than 100 nearly identical letters with references to Oscar winner mailed to other locations around Los Angeles in the last six months. If convicted he faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Natalie Rotman reports.
