New York Knicks took advantage of a nervous LeBron James on Thursday night to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 95-90 at the Quicken Loans Arena. NBA's four-time Most Valuable Player returned to the Cavaliers, his hometown team, in the summer after four years with the Miami Heat but wasn't at his best in their opening Eastern Conference game. James notched 17 points but couldn't prevent the Knicks - who had started sluggishly - from eventually clinching victory.

By Anna Gault PUBLISHED: 15:03 EST, 6 June 2013 | UPDATED: 01:42 EST, 7 June 2013 As the wife of a proud Scotsman, her attempt at a Caledonian burr should be pitch perfect. But Claire Forlani, who is married to actor Dougray Scott, makes a mealy-mouthed attempt in her latest advert for a leading whisky. She plays a temptress in the Dewar’s whisky promotion, which have drawn criticism because of the 40-year-old English-Italian’s cringe-inducing accent.

(CNN) -- When Nelson Mandela stepped out of South Africa's Victor Verster prison a free man 20 years ago Thursday, he was his country's most famous freedom fighter. Black South Africans and other opponents of apartheid lined streets to see him when he was released, cheering wildly and waving flags. He was a hero, imprisoned for 27 years for the crime of opposing a government that sought to enforce severe segregation laws with brutality. Once free, Mandela worked with South Africa's white president, F.W. de Klerk to end those policies, knocking down the pillars of segregation one at a time. Three years after his release from prison, Mandela and de Klerk shared the Nobel Peace Prize.
