Tom Holland and Zendaya are on the press circuit for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Today, they’re in Amsterdam. Zendaya looks like she’s got a parade to lead (compliment), Tom looks happy to be there (compliment).

I never, ever get tired of these two because of their palpable joy around each other. Even if they weren’t a superstar couple, you believe the friendship is real because you can SEE it. They don’t just love each other, they LIKE each other. It’s the whole reason the world started shipping them in the first place.

And they ARE married, by the way. Tom has a profile in Esquire and he very, very briefly addresses it when the AI wedding images that spread online earlier this year come up and how Tom had to clear it up for his grandmother. When asked if any other family members were confused, he says, “No, because they were all there. […] That’s all you’ll get on that.”

They WERE there, meaning it has already happened. Law Roach wasn’t trolling when he hinted about the wedding on red carpets, it has occurred. Tomdaya ARE married. They did it in total secrecy from the public. We are never seeing that dress, but good for them. Proof it can be done.

We’re really running the gamut of celebrity weddings this year. Mario Ho and Ming Xi had the most beautiful wedding ever conceived in France, Dua Lipa and Callum Turner had both a classic English town hall wedding and a classic Italian wedding weekend, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are planning some kind of extravaganza, and Tom and Zendaya did it in total secrecy. Truly something for everyone on the celebrity wedding buffet.

I just wish we could see Zendaya’s dress. Purely selfishly, I want to know what the style was. Maybe it will pop up in a museum eventually. Although I’m still mad that Nicole Kidman’s Nicolas Ghesquiere wedding dress sat in an Australia museum for like a year and the internet was not flooded with hi-res photos from every angle. Get it together, Aussies. We were all counting on you!


What else happened today…

Hayley Atwell is rocking a cute bob for summer. (Go Fug Yourself)

Nate Bargatze made a movie, The Breadwinner, and it bombed, so now it’s masks off, I guess. He attended the UFC 250 event held on the White House’s lawn over the weekend, took photos with everyone that will eventually end up on the bad pages of the history books, but now wants us all to know he’s “not political”.

I generally like Nate, I’ve met him a bunch, he is historically one of the least gross dudes I know of in comedy. Like he’s not scary to be around the way some guys are in the scene. And he IS a great joke writer. But dude, you can’t play this “not political” card anymore, not when people, including your wife and your daughter, have lost their rights. (I know that shouldn’t matter, but for some men it’s the only way they can relate to the problem.) People are going to be mad at you, Nate, and I KNOW you’re hearing this in person from people, too. Fighting the internet is one thing, but I know he’s eating it offline as well. Because he is well-liked by a lot of people, and some of those people are definitely disappointed today.

Anyway, the old adage remains true. Show me who your friends are, and I will show you who you are. (Celebitchy) 

It turns out Pokemon Go, the augmented-reality game that took the world by storm in 2016, was being used to build a “visual positioning system that works without GPS”. Sounds neat, but it’s also being used in military vehicles and weapons, including drones. So every Squirtle we caught is helping drop bombs better. Cool. I hate it here. (OMG Blog) 

On his way out the door, Stephen Colbert stuck CBS with a bill. He played a “Peanuts” song, saying, “I hope this doesn’t cost CBS any money!” Well, it did. CBS signed a licensing agreement for use of the song with Lee Mendelson Film Productions, which licenses “Peanuts” music. LMFP has in turn pledged to donate the proceeds to World Central Kitchen. Everybody wins! Except CBS lol. (The Hollywood Reporter)
