Zoe Saldana declares her Oscar to be gender-fluid with pronouns they/them
Earlier this year, the actress, 46, took home the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in 'Emilia Perez', which marked her first-ever Academy Award, reports 'People' magazine.
At the Los Angeles premiere of her latest movie on June 10, Elio, she revealed what the statuette has been up to since.
As per 'People', after Saldana was asked where she now keeps the award, the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' star said, 'We have it in my office and my Oscar is gender fluid'. She also revealed a bit more about the shiny, gold statuette, adding that it's 'trans' and 'goes by they/them'.
In 'Emilia Perez', a Spanish-language musical and crime drama, the actress portrays Rita, a lawyer who is tasked with helping the movie's titular character (Karla Sofía Gascon) obtain a gender-affirming surgery to escape life as a cartel boss.
'Elio', meanwhile, centers around 'Elio, a space fanatic with an active imagination and a huge alien obsession', as per Disney. Saldana stars as Olga Solis in the Pixar/Disney film, which helps her get 'cool points' with her sons, she previously revealed.
'Since becoming a parent, incorporating what I do, my art, into a genre that caters to children has always been a great interest to me', Saldana said on Good Morning America earlier this month. 'And I get to relate to them, and I also get some mad cool points as a mom', she added during the appearance, 'my 8-year-old cannot wait for Elio to come out'.

Rising golf star Charlie Woods: Inside the life of Tiger Woods' son, from school to net worth
Source: X The 16-year-old son of Tiger Woods is following closely in his father's footsteps and making waves in junior golf. On Thursday, Charlie Woods stayed in strong contention for a spot on the U.S. Junior Ryder Cup team, tying for second place at the Junior PGA Championship after firing a 5-under 66 in a rain-delayed third round at Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex in Indiana. Sitting at 12-under 202, Charlie is proving he's not just a famous last name—but a rising contender in his own right. But there is more to Charlie Woods than just his last name. Here is all about Charlie Woods- Family and background Charlie is the younger of two children born to Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren. His sister, Sam Alexis Woods, was born in 2007. After their parents' divorce in 2010, both children have been raised through a cooperative co-parenting arrangement. From his mother's relationship with former NFL player Jordan Cameron, Charlie also has three half-siblings. His heritage reflects a multicultural blend—Swedish through his mother, and African-American, Thai, Chinese, and Dutch through his father. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pierce Brosnan's Wife Lost 120 Pounds - This Is Her Now Undo Source: X Tiger has often spoken publicly about the joy and grounding that fatherhood brings him, especially following his serious car crash in 2021. 'Being a dad has helped him stay focused on his recovery,' a PEOPLE source said, noting that his children are his greatest motivation. Education Charlie attends The Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida, where he is part of the Class of 2027. He plays for the school's competitive golf team, which ranks among Florida's most elite. Though he hasn't yet made a college commitment, he's clearly on the radar of top programs. Bilingual in English and Swedish, Charlie also has a strong interest in equipment, often described as picky about his golf clubs, much like his father. As a younger child, Charlie focused more on soccer, but during the COVID-19 pandemic, when team sports were restricted, he gravitated toward golf, a shift that would set him on his current path. Golf career and achievements Charlie Woods began attracting national attention when he became the youngest competitor in PNC Championship history at age 11 in 2020. He and Tiger have played in the event for five consecutive years, showing impressive chemistry and consistency. In 2020, the father-son duo tied at 5th position, and Charlie made his first eagle with a 175-yard 5-wood. They came second in the years 2021 and 2024. The year 2024 was particularly special for Charlie as he made his first hole-in-one with a 7-iron on a par-3, helping force a playoff. That year's event also set a TV viewership record, with a 147% increase in first-round ratings from the previous year.

A few months later, in September, he won the Last Chance Regional with a low round of 66. In November 2023, he helped The Benjamin School win the Florida Class A State Championship and finished tied for 26th. That season, he ranked 80th overall in Florida high school golf, 9th among freshmen, and 28th in Class 1A. His biggest win came in May 2025, when he won his first AJGA title at the Team TaylorMade Invitational. He shot 15-under (70-65-66) and beat a field that included four of the top-five AJGA players. Charlie also qualified for the U.S. Junior Amateur in both 2024 and 2025. In 2024, he missed the cut after rounds of 82 and 80. In 2025, he qualified again at Trinity Forest but missed the cut with rounds of 81 and 74. Net worth As of 2024, Charlie Woods' estimated net worth is approximately $25 million, driven by family wealth, endorsements, sponsorships, and media appearances. His annual income is around $4 million, though most of it is tied to long-term brand value and investments rather than tournament earnings.

Lana Del Rey posts haunting wedding photo nearly a year after tying the knot; take a look
Lana Del Rey just gave fans a rare glimpse into one of the most private and poetic moments of her life — her wedding. Nearly a year after tying the knot in a hush-hush ceremony, the singer has finally shared a behind-the-scenes photo from the day she married boat captain Jeremy Dufrene. Lana Del Rey with hubby Jeremy Dufrene In a post shared to Instagram on Wednesday, July 30, the Summertime Sadness singer posted a dimly lit, atmospheric image of herself standing at the altar in a small church in Des Allemandes, Louisiana. Hand in hand with Dufrene, the couple locked eyes in what looked like a moment straight out of one of Del Rey's melancholic love songs. 'May 12 angels guard you while you preach tonight,' Del Rey, whose real name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, captioned the photo. The only other figure in the frame was Churchome pastor Judah Smith, who officiated the ceremony. His wife, Chelsea Smith, was also tagged in the post. In the comments, Del Rey added, 'Thank you Judah for always uplifting me.' While Del Rey's one-year anniversary isn't until next month, the post marks the first time she has publicly acknowledged the September 26, 2024, wedding. The pair obtained a marriage license just three days before the ceremony, which was held in the very bayou where Dufrene operates his swamp boat tours. It's also the same place they first met. According to a source who spoke to People at the time, the ceremony was deeply personal: 'The wedding ceremony and reception were both held in the same bayou where Jeremy operates his swamp boat tours. It's a special place for them. It was a beautiful, relaxed and family-focused wedding. The focus was just on their love story.' Relationship timeline Del Rey and Dufrene's relationship timeline has always been a bit of a mystery. She first posted about him in 2019, calling attention to his Louisiana roots. Still, it wasn't until August 2024, when a Reddit user snapped a photo of the pair having lunch in London, that romance rumours fully kicked into gear.
