Underwood wins CMT video of the year award

NASHVILLE, Tenn.

Carrie Underwood’s special connection with CMT viewers paid off again as she won her third-straight video of the year at the CMT Music Awards.

Underwood took the top honor for the third-straight time with “See You Again” on Wednesday night and the fifth time overall. The “American Idol” champion is CMT’s top overall winner with 11 belt buckles in her career.

Underwood managed to horn in on all the fun that top winners Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line were having. The two acts teamed up to win collaboration of the year and each won another belt buckle trophy.

Other winners included Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert.

CBS News’ Lara Logan back at ‘60 Minutes’

NEW YORK

CBS News’ Lara Logan is back to work at “60 Minutes” more than six months after being ordered to take a leave of absence for her role in a disputed story on the deadly 2012 raid at the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya.

CBS News spokeswoman Sonya McNair said Wednesday that Logan has returned. She had no details on when the correspondent resumed work and what type of stories she is working on. Logan did not immediately return a telephone message for comment.

Her October report on the CBS newsmagazine was quickly criticized and became the subject of an internal CBS investigation. The story relied on the testimony by Dylan Davies, a security contractor who said he was at the scene of the raid that since then has become a key Republican criticism of the Obama administration. But his story fell apart, and it turned out there was no evidence he was there, and CBS issued a correction.
