A Holiday in Israel and More: Chilean Miners Rake In Offers [VIDEO]

(Nov. 10) -- When Israel invited the 33 recently rescued Chilean miners on an expense-free trip to the Holy Land over Christmas, they probably didn't expect the offer to break the bank. But the men, who became international superstars last month after surviving 69 days underground, drive a pretty hard bargain: They accepted Israel's offer on the condition they can bring 70 relatives along with them.

Ryan Howard to be a Creature of 'Late Night'

Being the reigning National League MVP does have its privileges. Ryan Howard will get to experience one of them on Tuesday, when he will appear on The Late Show with David Letterman on the Phillies' off day during their series with the Mets."It's definitely cool," Howard said before last night's game against the Atlanta Braves at Citizens Bank Park. "You just grow up watching stuff like that, and now they want you to be on there. It's a little different. But it'll be fun. I'll try to make it that way."
