Concert to honor Nobel winner
From Associated Press
Salma Hayek will host this year’s Nobel Peace Prize Concert in honor of laureate Mohamed ElBaradei.
ElBaradei and the International Atomic Energy Agency he leads shared the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize for their drive to curb the spread of atomic weapons by using diplomacy to resolve standoffs with Iran and North Korea over their nuclear programs.
The Dec. 11 concert, held a day after the award ceremony in Oslo, Norway, will include Gladys Knight, Duran Duran and Sugababes, organizers said.
