Do you have trouble sleeping through the night --husband or wife wake you up or maybe the kids? Facebook bigwig MARK ZUCKERBERG posted a new invention over the weekend that he's created to help out his wife. Called "The Sleep Box," it a faceless clock that puts out just a little light --not enough to wake you up on the nightstand, but just enough to let you know what time it is without you having to turn on the phone and have the bright light wake you up. Check it out on Instagram HERE.

Tragedy in Hollywood Monday, as director JOHN SINGLETON, who suffered a stroke 13 days ago, is scheduled to be removed from life support today (Monday), according to his family. They released a statement saying (in part), "It is with heavy hearts we announce that our beloved son, father and friend, John Daniel Singleton will be taken off of life support today. This was an agonizing decision, one that our family made, over a number of days, with the careful counsel of John's doctors."
Finally: Food news! Starbucks is bringing back its S'mores Frappuccino drinks beginning Tuesday!!! The drink was first rolled out in the summer of 2015 but last year, the company decided not to bring it back --and heard from a bunch of customers about it, so this summer, it's back. Besides the usual frappuccino stuff, the drink also has milk chocolate sauce, marshmallow-infused whipped cream and graham cracker crumble.
