The Police will performat Grammys ceremony
NEW YORK -- The Police will reunite to perform at this year's Grammys ceremony, the Recording Academy announced Tuesday.
The award-winning group, which won five Grammys and turned out hits such as "Roxanne" and "Every Breath You Take," will open the event -- 23 years after breaking up.
The band -- singer/bassist Sting, drummer Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers -- fused reggae with pop and rock, and last performed together in 2003 when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
CBS will air the 49th annual Grammy Awards live from Los Angeles on Feb. 11.
Actor peddles his wine
HONG KONG -- The hunt for red wines is being helped by Sam Neill.
The 59-year-old actor, whose credits include "The Hunt for Red October," "The Piano" and the "Jurassic Park" movies, introduced his Two Paddocks brand to Hong Kong on Tuesday.
Neill signed bottles for customers and posed for pictures at a downtown organic food store that will carry his brand.
Hong Kong is viewed as a launching pad for businesses targeting the Chinese market, but asked about his expansion plans for the mainland, Neill said Two Paddocks is a small business.
"We're a boutique winery. I think if we started expanding into China we'd be swallowed up in a minute," he said.
Two Paddocks runs three vineyards in the Central Otago region of New Zealand's south island. Neill said they produce 3,000 cases of wine a year.
