Washington, Apr 15: The story of Kon-Tiki, a ship that sailed to prove the conventional migration theory wrong, is set to be told in a new film.
Kon-Tiki, which was little more than a raft, captured the world's imagination in 1947 when it crossed the Pacific Ocean, helmed by Norwegian adventurer and anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl.
Filmmakers Joachim Ronning told CBS News that Heyerdahl believed that the oceans were roads, basically, 1,500 years ago and he spent ten years trying to get his theory accepted and when nobody believed him, he set out to prove himself correct.
Broadcast journalist Serena Altschul said that people thought Heyerdahl was crazy.
Ronning and Espen Sandberg have brought Kon-Tiki's replica.

Bradley Cooper has credited "The Elephant Man" as the film that made him - as a pre-teen - want to become an actor.
"It was a joke for people around me that this little kid was saying he's going to be an actor. But I did. When I saw 'Elephant Man,' I knew it," Bradley told Serena Altschul in an interview for "CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood." "It crystalized and I said, 'That's what I want to do with my life and I never swayed from that.'"

It's hard to believe there was ever a Video Music Awards without Britney Spears. Her iconic performances and eye-popping getups make her a perfect match for the outsized and outrageous Vma stage.
Britney herself told us that her bombshell kiss with Madonna in 2003 is her favorite Vma moment. "My greatest experience -- probably being with Madonna," she told MTV News. "The kiss was amazing. ... Being onstage with someone of that caliber is just iconic."
See Britney's biggest Vma moments for yourself in these photos.
But Spears certainly has a long list to choose from. And with that track record, it's no surprise that this year's VMAs will pay tribute to Britney. Let's dive into the...

Korn headlined Lolla's strangest incarnation — and then the fest took six years off.

With the 2010 edition of Lollapalooza set to kick off Friday, MTV News decided to dive deep into our archives and dig up the greatest/ weirdest/ scariest/ downright rocking-est moments in the fest's rather epic history. We're calling it "Lollapalooza Lookback," and we think it's a pretty fitting tribute to the granddaddy of American music festivals. We've already tackled Pearl Jam's 1992 afternoon set, Nine Inch Nails' stage-trashing heroics from 1991 and Ice Cube's "buck wild" goals in '92; now, we're fast-forwarding to 1997, a time when nobody seemed to know what was happening with music — not even Korn, who inexplicably found themselves on the main stage.

Remember John Norris, formerly of MTV News? When I was a wee lad, MTV played (oftentimes good) music and had their own half-hour news program co-anchored by Tabitha Soren and Kurt Loder (who now also has his own web thing going on). Norris was one of the later alternate faces of MTV News - along with Chris Connelly and Serena Altschul - and had done some work with other pop-culture television programs. If you were a teen in the mid-90s this is probably old hat, otherwise consider these tidbits your valuable pop-culture history lesson of the day. I’ve occasionally wondered what these folks have been up to now that it’s not the 90s, as it turns out, John Norris is still plugging away interviewing bands, only now it’s for a site called Noisevox. Billed as an “open music magazine”, Noisemakers on Noisevox features live footage and...

NEW YORK -- CBS News has taken a different tack in the hiring of its latest correspondent, tapping former Channel One and MTV News staffer Serena Altschul as a contributor to its weekend news programming, the network said. Altschul, 33, will work for CBS News Sunday Morning and the weekend edition of CBS Evening News. Although she has limited experience in either local or network news beyond MTV, executives said Altschul would bring with her new ideas on how to attack traditional stories as well as a fresh perspective on developing stories relevant to a younger audience. "She's a bit different," said Marci McGinnis, senior vp news operations at CBS. "We think we can be a little more creative with pieces on those types of shows (the weekend programs)."...
