(CNN) -- Actress Jessica Lange took a tumble in her Minnesota vacation cabin Tuesday, but a publicist said her injuries were not serious. Lange, who turns 60 next month, suffered bruised ribs, a broken collarbone and a small cut on her forehead, spokeswoman Leslee Dart said Wednesday. "She will be completely fine and expects to be released from the hospital imminently," Dart said. Lange began her movie career in 1976 playing King Kong's love interest in the 1976 version of "King Kong" but later was nominated for six Oscars -- two of which she won. She won best supporting actress for her role in "Tootsie" in 1982 and best leading actress for "Blue Sky" in 1994. Lange owns a lakeside cabin not far from Cloquet, Minnesota, where she was born in 1949. | Jessica Lange hurt in fall at Minnesota vacation home .

Four more students suffered critical wounds, when the men opened fire early Saturday, Voice of Nigeria said. An investigation is underway to find the suspects. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the incident. The attack occurred in the state of Yobe, in Nigeria's northeast, where Islamist extremists from the terror group Boko Haram regularly carry out attacks. An attack on a school in June in the same state took the lives of seven students and two teachers, VoN reported. Boko Haram claimed responsibility for that attack, according to local media reports.

(CNN) -- A massive landslide swallowed homes in eastern Uganda early Monday, killing at least 23 people, the Red Cross said. Torrential rains triggered the landslide, Red Cross spokeswoman Catherine Ntabadde said by phone from the scene. Two people have been rescued, but the death toll is expected to rise as rescue crews scour through the site in Bulambuli district. Bulambuli district is about 300 kilometers northeast of the capital, Kampala. It occurred in the same region where a landslide killed at least 87 last year near Mount Elgon, on the Kenya-Uganda border. Heavy rain, hilly terrain and inadequate equipment slowed efforts to recover hundreds of people buried last year. Flooding also destroyed roads and washed away bridges in the region at the time. | Red Cross: Torrential rains trigger the landslide .

(CNN) -- It was 35 years ago Tuesday that Sony, not Apple, revolutionized the way we listen to music. The Walkman, a portable cassette player that, for the first time, let us take our music with us without bothering our neighbors, hit the market on July 1, 1979. Today, it's all about Apple's iPod. But in its heyday, the Walkman was as synonymous with portable music players as Kleenex became to tissue and Xerox was to copy machines. Bowing to digital reality, Sony retired the cassette Walkman in 2010. Check out our gallery for a look at some of the most iconic Walkman models through the years.

(CNN)Passengers in an Oregon-bound flight got a creepy-crawly surprise this weekend: a scorpion. The Alaska Airlines flight headed to Portland returned to Los Angeles on Saturday after a woman reported she was stung by the eight-legged animal. Medical personnel responded and treated the woman, who was stung on the arm, said Cole Cosgrove, an airline spokesman. She declined additional medical attention. "No one seemed frantic at all, not even the woman who was stung. The flight attendants did a great job, as did the captain," said Mike Parker, a sports announcer for Oregon State University, who was aboard the flight. Airline officials said it's unclear how the scorpion made its way on the flight, which originated from Los Cabos, Mexico. It had just left Los Angeles International Airport when the incident occurred. The flight made it to its destination Saturday. | The Alaska Airlines flight was headed to Portland, Oregon .

Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- The beating of 12-year-old boy by a group of classmates at a Southern California middle school may be linked to a Facebook posting encouraging kids to target redheads, authorities say. The redheaded boy was beaten up by a group of seventh and eighth graders at A.E. Wright Middle School in Calabasas in two separate incidents Friday, according to a statement released Sunday by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. A Facebook page stating that Friday was "Kick a Ginger Day," referring to redheads and possibly inspired by an episode of the "South Park" series, may have sparked the injuries at the middle school, authorities said. The boy's injuries were not serious, and no one has been arrested, authorities said Sunday. | 12-year-old boy beaten by classmates in two separate incidents on Friday .

(CNN) -- There will be no more "Achy Breaky Heart" for Billy Ray Cyrus. The singer/actor and his wife, Tish, have called off their divorce, according to a statement from the couple. "We both woke up and realized we love each other and decided we want to stay together," the statement said. "We both went into couples therapy, something we haven't done in 22 years of being together, and it's brought us closer together and really opened up our communication in amazing ways." The pair announced in June that they had split. They have five children together, including actress Miley Cyrus.

(CNN) -- On his latest, Future History, Derulo makes several attempts at home-run club records and huge ballads. He swings hard, but often misses -- perhaps his biggest problem is that he's not rooted in any genre outside of people-pleasing pop; lead single ''Don't Wanna Go Home,'' built heavily on multiple samples, is the rare victory here. It's when he scales back on the synths, as on ''That's My Shhh,'' that he thrills. The man should give true R&B a try. B- . See the full story at EW.com.

(CNN) -- A volcano near southwest Colombia's border with Ecuador erupted on Saturday, leading the government to issue a "red alert" for the region. The Galeras volcano is shown on January 17, 2008, from Pasto, Colombia. There were not believed to be any fatalities or injuries in the blast, which happened at about 7:10 p.m. ET (12:10 a.m. Sunday GMT), said Carlos Lineras of the Colombia Institute for Geology and Mines. The institute issued an evacuation order for about 7,000 people living near the Galeras volcano. The volcano is not in a heavily populated region. Galeras has erupted several times since it became active again in 1989. The only fatalities were in 1993, when nine people -- all scientists or tourists in or near the volcano's crater -- were killed. | No deaths, injuries feared from eruption, authority says .

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- Three civilians and a police officer were killed Wednesday after militants fired two rockets at security checkpoints in Pakistan's western city of Quetta. Police spokesman Abdullah Afridi said militants fired the rockets along Saryab Road, injuring an additional 15 people. Earlier this month, four civilians were killed and 10 were injured when a bomb exploded near a security patrol in Pakistan's Balochistan province, police told CNN. Balochistan has long been plagued by sectarian violence between Sunnis and Shias, and separatist Baloch militant groups who demand political autonomy. Quetta, Balochistan's provincial capital, is widely believed to be a safe haven for senior leaders of the Afghan Taliban, but rarely are militant attacks in Balochistan linked to them. | 3 civilians and a police officer were killed Wednesday in a rocket attack .

(CNN) -- Newspapers do not have to warn people that they are going to publish details about their private lives before going to press, the European Court of Human Rights ruled Tuesday, rejecting a complaint by former Formula 1 motor racing boss Max Mosley. Mosley sued the British tabloid weekly News of the World after it published a 2008 story about him under the headline "F1 boss has sick Nazi orgy with 5 hookers." A British court found that there was no Nazi element to the incident, which was secretly recorded by one of the participants, and ordered the tabloid to pay Mosley 60,000 British pounds (about $98,000). But Mosley said the judgment did not go far enough in protecting his private life, and took the case to the European Court of Human Rights.

(CNN) -- A foul-smelling cloud wound its way through Argentina's capital Thursday, but it was not toxic as initially feared, officials said. Civil defense authorities in Buenos Aires advised residents to remain indoors with windows and doors shut as a cloud emanated from a container fire at the city's port. The smelly cloud and reports that the burning container had chemicals inside caused alarm throughout the capital. But it was quickly determined that the fumes were not dangerous. The container held sodium bicarbonate and posed little risk to the population, the country's security secretary, Sergio Berni, said. "We implemented the emergency plan; the situation is under control," he said. Nonetheless, the cloud was enough to disrupt the subway system in Argentina's largest city. | A container fire releases fumes originally feared to be toxic .

New Delhi (CNN)At least 11 passengers were killed when a train jumped the rails in southern India on Friday, authorities said. Nine cars of the Bengaluru-Ernakulam Express train derailed some 50 kilometers from Bangalore in Karnataka state at around 7.30 am local time, said Chandrashekhar Gupta, a spokesman for India's southwestern railway. Rescue crews have retrieved 11 bodies from the wrecked compartments, Gupta told CNN. More than 25 people were injured in the derailment, nine of them critically, he added.

Tokyo (CNN) -- Even during Tokyo's notoriously hectic rush hour, dozens of commuters stopped to push a 32-ton train car out of the way. A woman trying to get off a train in Saitama, north of Tokyo, fell in a gap between the train and the platform Monday morning, said Takashi Tsukahara, a spokesman for the train operator JR East. About 40 passengers and JR staff rushed to push the train off the woman. Tsukahara said a train carriage typically weighs about 30,000 kilograms, but is able to sway a bit side to side to absorb the train's movements. The commuters pushed the train just enough to free the woman. A loud cheer erupted as the woman was pulled up. The woman, in her 30s, was not seriously injured. Just eight minutes later, the train took off again. | A woman fell in a gap between a commuter train and platform near Tokyo .
