America -- once again -- seems scared of Russia. But is it real, or just hype?

Also: Native Americans might soon get their own TV channel in the US; a real-life lawyer who used to hate 鈥槼扇丝焓謑and鈥� ends up inspiring a new character on the show; Carimi, the first Haitian boy band, announces their breakup; 20 years on the biopic Selena is as relevant as ever; and what鈥檚 the hardest part of being a kpop star? For some... it鈥檚 learning Korean.
