Celebrities make more money than we simpletons do -- that isn't entirely new. But learning exactly how much they're worth? Now, that's sometimes hard to believe.

Take Julia Louis-Dreyfus, for example. She's a gifted comedian, no doubt, who managed to break "The 'Seinfeld' Curse," but did you know she's worth a whopping $3 billion, thanks largely to family money?

With a massive tornado coming down on them, many teachers found themselves protecting their classes of children.

A few hours after a massive tornado tore through the Oklahoma City area, ravaging neighborhoods and two elementary schools and killing at least 51 people, Edie Cordray sent an urgent message to members of her church in nearby Norman.

L.A. and O.C. firefighters left last night to help rescuers in Moore, Oklahoma after a devastating tornado destroyed the area.

Firefighters from Los Angeles and Orange counties were being dispatched Monday night to help with rescue operations in Oklahoma, where a massive tornado left at least 51 people dead and many others injured.

After a huge tornado swept through Moore, Oklahoma, some say the path of destruction looks like a war zone.

Brandon Morgan wanted to get up early to chase tornadoes. But Morgan, 22, overslept, and by the time he rolled out of bed on Monday, the first in a series of deadly storms was already descending on Moore, his hometown. Morgan, whose hobby is chasing storms, first spotted the twister near the 7-Eleven gas station. He reported the sighting and then ran into the station to urge the four people inside to take cover. Minutes later, all four were killed.

Morgan, meanwhile, had raced away in his car, not realizing just how big the tornado was — a category 4, out of 5, on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale. The storm seemed to follow him as he sped across town on Interstate 35. When the storm dissipated, he called his brother, who lives nearby, and the two headed to their grandfather’s house, not far from the 7-Eleven. Along the way they pulled two women out of the ruins of a Dollar General, and tried to get to a home that was on fire. “You hear screams, you go help,” says Morgan, who works in security and is a National Guardsman. “The military taught me that.”

We all know he's Pope Francis, but is he also an exorcist?  

Pope Francis appears to have performed an exorcism on a wheelchair-bound young man who believers in the practice claim was possessed by evil.

The relationship began when she was a minor, but now she is being charged for sexual crimes.  Should she be?

(CBS) SEBASTIAN, Fla. - A Florida state attorney says the charges against Kaitlyn Hunt, an 18-year-old high school student who engaged in a same-sex relationship with a 15-year-old classmate, will not be dropped, despite petitions from the public, CBS affiliate WTSP reports.

Hunt has been expelled from Sebastian River High School in Sebastian, Fla. and is charged with two counts of lewd and lascivious battery of a child 12 to 16 years of age as a result of the relationship.

The case began in February after the younger girl's parents notified authorities when Hunt turned 18. Since then, the story has garnered national attention for what some say is a gay rights issue.

Will other groups file lawsuits against the IRS?

WASHINGTON –  A Tea Party group in California is claiming it was targeted by the Internal Revenue Service filed the first of what is expected to be many lawsuits against the government for allegedly singling out conservative organizations.

The NorCal Tea Party Patriots, based in northern California, claim the IRS violated its rights when it either held up or rejected its applications for tax-exempt status.

The federal tax agency acknowledged that employees at its Cincinnati office had targeted conservative groups, holding up their applications or altogether rejecting them.

The NorCal lawsuit was filed Monday in the U.S. District Court of Cincinnati. The suit seeks group status for “all conservative and libertarian groups targeted for additional scrutiny” between March 2010 and May 2013. It’s also seeking unspecified money damages for the alleged violation of their constitutional rights and the costs associated with trying to comply with the IRS demands.
