After winning us all over with memorable roles in Friday, Rush Hour and The Fifth Element, Chris Tucker basically vanished from the public eye altogether. He made a brief resurgence for the universally panned Rush Hour 3, but it wasn’t until he found a part in Silver Linings Playbook that anyone really believed he might make a genuine comeback.

One of the most annoying things that can happen to your smarphones is screen damage. Whether it’s smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, or other devices, replacing broken screens is always an expensive hassle. But researchers have created a magical “glue” that would turn various materials into self-healing surfaces that could automatically fix scratches and cracks. The technology could very well be used in future iPhone and Android devices, but also in other products like nail varnish or car paint.

When I first heard John Oliver was getting his own show on HBO, I wasn’t excited at all. Oliver was amusing at times on The Daily Show, but his deliveries were often labored and I generally found him to be pretty annoying. Honestly, I really didn’t think he would be able to carry a show himself.

Oreos are not and will never be healthy for you. That said, they also don’t have to be quite as lard-inducing as they’ve traditionally been, which is why Nabisco is making slimmer Oreo Thins available in the United States for the first time. ABC News got its hands on the new Oreo Thins before their release and finds that they’re just 5 millimeters thick, which is 4 millimeters thinner than traditional Oreos. As you’d expect, the Oreo Thins also have fewer calories than traditional Oreos as well — while old-school Oreos pack 42 calories per cookie, Oreo Thins have 35 calories per cookie.
