America -- once again -- seems scared of Russia. But is it real, or just hype? Also: Native Americans might soon get their own TV channel in the US; a real-life lawyer who used to hate ‘Homeland’ ends up inspiring a new character on the show; Carimi, the first Haitian boy band, announces their breakup; 20 years on the biopic Selena is as relevant as ever; and what’s the hardest part of being a kpop star? For some... it’s learning Korean. (Image: A woman poses with a box of anti-Communist chewing gum labelled 'Red Menace' in 1951. Credit: AFP/Getty Images)
