West Des Moines, Iowa — How important is the youth vote to the Republican party? So important that on Tuesday morning (January 3), two of the leading candidates in tonight's crucial Iowa caucus took time out from their vacuum-packed schedules to address a throng of pumped-up teens at a "Rock the Caucus" event in the gymnasium of Valley High School in West Des Moines.
Although Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is polling in the single digits and widely expected to have a poor showing at the first-in-the-nation caucus, Gop contenders Ron Paul and former Senator Rick Santorum were close to neck-and-neck for...

Paul Rudd was forced to hitch a lift with a stranger after his car broke down on the way to New York's John F. Kennedy airport.
The Clueless star was travelling on the Van Wyck Expressway in the Big Apple when his hired ride spluttered to a halt in traffic.
Rudd was required to catch a specific flight because of his work schedule - and he was left with no choice but to hitchhike.
He tells U.S. chat show host David Letterman, "A couple of months ago I was going out to work and I had a town car to drive me to JFK and my car broke down. I was on the Van Wyck, and it was crammed and I had to catch the flight and there was no way I could get a cab and they couldn't get another town car, so I started (to) hitchhike because I didn't want to miss the flight.
"A very nice girl thankfully picked me up and took me to the airport. I'm thumbing it. She pulled over. I was so appreciative... her name is Allie Brown... I said, 'I would love to thank you', I would love it if I could offer her something really cool and interesting like a walk-on part to a movie I was working on, but I realised I don't have that kind of juice, I couldn't make it happen, but then instead how about a walk on to this interview. I hope that's alright..."
Rudd then introduced Brown to the TV studio set and joked, "I probably should have gotten her a gift certificate or something!"...

When Paul Rudd's car broke down on his way to the airport, he didn't do what most celebrities would do. He didn't call for a cab, or a car service, or even a friend to come help him out. He stuck his thumb out and hoped for the best. He shared this story on 'Late Show' (Weeknights, 11:35Pm Et on CBS) for a very specific reason.
A young woman named Allie Brown pulled over and let this strange man into his car, and help him make it to the airport in time to make his flight. So, Rudd wanted to do something to thank her, but he wanted to make sure it was something special and memorable.
