(CNN) -- Two California teens who stranded themselves atop a windy, 8,600-foot-high cliff ended up being rescued in what resembled a movie scene, according to authorities. The boys, 16 and 17, were hoisted off the cliff in the Sierra Buttes in Northern California on Saturday, according to the California Highway Patrol. The CHP sent a helicopter and a small plane to retrieve the teens, who had stranded themselves on a narrow shelf on the cliff while hiking. It took several attempts to hoist the boys as winds blew in excess of 20 mph, according to a CHP news release.

Pakistani politicians have chosen a close ally of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to serve as the country's president, Pakistani state broadcaster PTV reported Tuesday. Mamnoon Hussain, a well-known businessman from the southern city of Karachi, was elected to the largely ceremonial role in a vote by federal and provincial officials across the country. Pakistan's Election Commission said a formal announcement would be made later Tuesday. Since the presidency is a nonpartisan role, Hussain would have to resign from the Pakistan Muslim League-N party, which Sharif leads. Hussain would succeed President Asif Ali Zardari, one of Sharif's longtime political rivals. The presidency was more powerful under Pervez Musharraf, the army general who held the office from 2001 to 2008 after he led a 1999 military coup. But after Zardari became president, a constitutional amendment reduced presidential powers in April 2010.

(CNN)The thing about the old card game of War is that anything can happen. In Chris Hemsworth's case, he got drenched with water. The "Blackhat" actor, appearing on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," took on the host in War, in which the competitors turn over playing cards, with the higher card designated the winner. In the Hemsworth-Fallon battle, there was an extra twist: After each card was turned, the winner got to throw a glass of water at the loser. At the conclusion, the person with the most wins got to soak the other with a water cannon. Hemsworth held his own in the early going, but things didn't turn out well for the Australian actor.

Comedian Chris Tucker's multimillion dollar tax bill isn't very funny, but he's reached a deal with the IRS to settle it, his representative said Monday. The federal tax collector placed a $2.5 million lien against Tucker in Georgia last week, but it was just a "technical requirement" before a settlement could become official, Tucker's representative said. "Chris Tucker has not incurred any new tax years," the representative said. "The current lien filing by the IRS was the result of an audit that lasted for four years which stemmed from poor accounting and business management." "Representatives for Mr. Tucker reached a resolution with the IRS on Friday, and his case has been settled," the representative said. A TMZ report that Tucker owed $14 million to the IRS was inaccurate, the rep said.
