It maybe didn’t need a sequel, but Hollywood knows that fans have long wanted one. And now we know more of the names joining Bullock and Kidman this time around. First things first: bringing back Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest—th

A brand-new $2.3 million bridge in Bhopal, India, is going viral—not because it solved traffic, but because it bends at nearly a 90-degree angle. Now, seven engineers have been suspended, a retired official is facing investigation, and the construction firms behind the project have been blacklisted.
