Actress Kristen Bell is leading an effort to get tabloids to stop running unauthorized photos of celebrities’ kids. And some publications have already signed-on. We talk to her about her efforts, and we hear from someone on the other side of the lens. Plus, we go deep inside the L.A. County Sheriff's Department and look at what led to the latest scandal there. Plus, the internet is exploding with conspiracy theories regarding the Pixar films. And doctors are baffled by a new disease that reminds them of polio.
