OKLAHOMA TORNADO KILLS 51, DEATH TOLL TO RISE:

A huge tornado at least a half-mile wide and with winds up to 200 miles per hour hit the town of Moore, Oklahoma, on Monday (May 20th), killing at least 51 people as it leveled whole neighborhoods and flattened an elementary school in the Oklahoma City suburb. The death toll is expected to rise, with the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office saying the number of dead could rise to as much as 91. The National Weather Service issued an initial finding that the tornado was an EF-4, the second most-powerful type. Scenes from the aftermath of the afternoon tornado saw rescuers pulling children from the destroyed Plaza Towers Elementary School and looking for others in the debris, however children from the school were among the dead. Search efforts in Moore continued overnight. President Obamadeclared a major disaster and ordered federal aid to help pay for recovery efforts.

The tornado loosely followed the path of a major tornado that hit the region in May 1999, and was the fourth twister to hit Moore since 1998.

The Number One Way to Build a Better Relationship

According to Florida State University researchers, the number one way to build a better relationship with your significant other is simply to express gratitude.

That’s right. Just saying, “Thank you” transforms your impression of the other person, helping you hold him or her in higher regard – which makes them more comfortable when bigger relationship issues pop up.

And, giving thanks is a gift that keeps on giving. People who express gratitude more than double their chances of being on the receiving end of generosity again. (WomensHealthMag.com)

NEW TOOTHBRUSHES INJECT CAFFEINE INTO YOUR MOUTH WHILE BRUSHING

The inventors at Colgate-Palmolive have filed a patent for toothbrushes that can release chemicals – such as caffeine – into your mouth as you brush.

The toothbrushes could also inject such things as special flavors, medication, pain relievers, or appetite suppressants in there.

If this works, you could get your morning jolt – and avoid the coffee breath that comes with it.

Brace yourselves, Twihards: After four very eventful years together, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are taking a much-needed break, a source close to Pattinson, 27, tells Us Weekly. Additional Pattinson insiders add that the British actor and Stewart, 23, have been "having problems" and "fighting a lot," with things coming to a head on Pattinson's 27th birthday May 13.

SPEED DATING ... FOR SKINNY GIRLS

Speed dating is pretty common, but how about "Skinny Minny" speed dating? "Skinny Minny" events are exclusive to women size 8 and under.

Waitress gets a $446 tip - on a bill of $5.97

Sometimes it pays to be nice. In the case of CeCe Bruce, a server at a Steak 'n Shake in Indianapolis, it paid $446 – on a bill of $5.97.

On Wednesday, Bruce, who has been working at the chain restaurant for two years, received a surprise when one of her regular customers left her a $446 tip.

“I was amazed,’’ Bruce told TODAY.com. “She always tips me 50 percent of her bill, but her bill is usually only $5 and she leaves a $5 tip. She’s a very nice lady.’’

The regular customer, whom the staff only knows as “Miss Jo,’’ left right after paying. Bruce tried to track her down in the parking lot, saying she couldn’t accept such a huge tip. The customer was adamant that Bruce keep the money.

“I was in shock,’’ Steak 'n Shake manager Greer Gooley told TODAY.com. “I was in the back on a food order, and Miss Jo wrote out the bill and then she ran out the door really quick. (Bruce) ran into the parking lot to thank her, and she just told her to take it and then spun off.”

Bruce, who is a full-time student at Martin University in Indianapolis, said she is putting the money toward bills.

“It helps tremendously,’’ she said. “It restores your faith in humanity, makes you trust people, and shows you can never judge a book by its cover. You’ve got to treat everybody the same. I try to be friendly to everyone.”

Gooley said that in the six years he has worked at the Steak 'n Shake,  he had never seen anything more exorbitant than a $100 tip. “(Bruce) is extremely deserving of that money,’’ he told TODAY.com. “She works hard, and she will come in whenever you need her. She has more regulars than any of our other servers.”

Since her story became public, good vibes have continued to come Bruce’s way. She had a $14 tip on a small bill on Friday, and said a couple from California who saw her story reached out to contact her because they want to help her out with some money for school.

“Good things have been happening,’’ Bruce said.

DAVID BECKHAM: Retiring From Soccer

David Beckham won't be bending it for much longer. The soccer star is set to retire at the end of the season. 

The 38-year-old is ending his career with Paris St.-Germain, having just clinched the French league championship. He's also won championships in England with Manchester United, in Spain with Real Madrid and in the U.S. with the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Though his exploits on the field were legendary, he's been equally known for marrying a Spice Girl, his dashing good looks and his underwear ads. As business expert Simon Chadwick puts it, "Brand Beckham is dead, long live Brand Beckham! Beckham's transition from athlete commodity to sporting statesman and entrepreneur is now complete."

According to Forbes, Beckham was the world’s highest-paid soccer player in 2012 at $50.6 million, including his endorsements, which also made him the eighth highest-paid athlete in the world.

In a statement, Becks says, "I owe everything to Victoria and the kids, who have given me the inspiration and support to play at the highest level for such a long period... I'm fortunate to have realized those dreams."

Retired NASCAR driver Richard "Dick" Trickle died Thursday, May 16, of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities in North Carolina told the Associated Press. He was 71.

According to the Lincoln County, N.C., sheriff's department, officials received a call -- believed to have been placed by Trickle -- that "there would be a dead body and it would be his." Attempts to return the call went unanswered.

Emergency units were then dispatched to the Forest Lawn Cemetery off Highway 150 in Boger City, where Trickle's body was discovered on the ground near his pickup truck. The sheriff's department told the AP foul play is not suspected.

Trickle first made a name for himself as a short-track driver in his native Wisconsin. Per ESPN, he has been billed as the winningest short-track driver in the history of stock-car racing, with 67 victories in 1972 alone. In 1989, he earned the Rookie of the Year title at NASCAR's Winston Cup.
