How Did Benson Boone and Tom Holland Become Friends?
The "Slow It Down" singer only had good things to say, telling E! News that Tom is "a great, great human being." As for how they met, Benson said "Just word of mouth and then it got around." Not sure what that means, but one thing is certain: he's down to play at Tom and Zendaya's upcoming wedding.
"Immediate, yes, of course, of course," he said. "I'm not gonna pass that over."
As for when their wedding is taking place, a source recently told People that "They will just enjoy things for now and won't rush a wedding. They are both busy with work projects."
Another insider sweetly added that Tom has "always been crazy about her" and that "he always knew she was the one. They have something very special. Everyone close to them knew the engagement was happening."
Cuuuuuute, but circling back to Benson real fast, he told E! News that it's been a wild year for him, saying "It's hard to try and keep up with everything and feel like I'm on top of it. Just a lot coming and going very quickly, and it's a little overwhelming at times, but at the same time like I'm just trying my best. I'm just trying to trying to do what I love, and trying to do it in a way that makes me happy. I got a lot of people on my team that support me, and I have a family that supports me, and that's all you can really ask for. So I'm just doing my best out here."

Dawsonites can say ‘I do' at Pride parade
It could be the happiest day of your life in Dawson City this weekend. You could be promising 'til death do us part to your sweetheart thanks to an offer from event organizer Meaghen Kimmett. Kimmett, who runs Raven Events, has been contracted to run the three Queer Yukon Pride parades across the territory this summer. This first one will take place in Dawson City on July 12, starting at 1 p.m. and it will begin at Minto Concession and finish with ice cream, Kimmett told the News on July 10. Kimmett is also a marriage commissioner. She's offered to marry any lovers who are able to provide a marriage licence, free of charge, after the parade. 'I just thought it would be a fun way to celebrate and recognize love,' she said. 'It's open to anybody.' Kimmett said she's heard some interest, but she is not yet sure if she will unite anyone in matrimony on Saturday. She said she hopes she can get at least one couple. Kimmett said she loves marrying people, and most of the people she has married are elopers who she doesn't know. 'Every single time, I have to have a little pep talk to not get emotional and cry,' she said. 'I'm supposed to be the professional, not the person crying while I'm marrying them. I just love it.' She said she became a marriage commissioner one year ago. 'I thought it was just a good fit for an event business, especially because I go into rural communities quite a bit, and then it can be a self-sufficient wedding.' Anyone who gets married by Kimmett after the Pride parade on July 12 will be officially married, Kimmett said. 'Yeah, I have vows that take probably two minutes, and then you have to do paperwork with witnesses, and then I file the paperwork when I get back to Whitehorse, and it's a done deal, you're married.'

Heather Rae El Moussa Addresses Friendship With Christina Haack
Being friends with your partner's ex doesn't always have to be weird, and the proof is in Heather Rae El Moussa and Christina Haack's inseparable bond. Though Heather is married to Christina's ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa, the pair has developed a close friendship over the years. On July 9, the Selling Sunset alum posted a sweet tribute for Christina's birthday on her Instagram Stories and shut critics of their friendship down in the process. 'It's crazy how far we've come & most will never understand how we are friends,' Heather wrote. 'I'm grateful for our relationship & our ability to rise above the noise! Cheers to you & can't wait to celebrate you! Xo.' While things are all good between the trio now, they weren't always on the best of terms. Christina—who was married to Tarek until 2018 and shares two children with him—got into a heated argument with Heather during a soccer game in 2022. At the time, a source told E! News, 'Heather and Christina haven't been getting along lately and there's been overall tension between both couples. Christina feels Heather oversteps her boundaries when she parents her children and Heather doesn't feel like she gets enough respect from Christina.' They've worked out their differences in favor of a smooth co-parenting experience since then. In January 2025, Christina told E! News, 'We've had our ups and downs, but mostly we've been great co-parents throughout everything. All three of us love these kids more than anything, so we've always made them a priority.' These days, the Flip-Off co-stars are so close that they even trade clothes. Back in February, Christina wore one of Heather's stunning gowns as she hard-launched her relationship with Christopher Larocca on her Instagram Stories. 'Thanks for lending me the gorgeous dress @theheatherraeelmoussa,' Christina captioned her post. Heather originally wore the embellished red dress for holiday portraits with Tarek, which she shared on social media in December 2024. Love that they flipped their relationship dynamic into something special!

CBS' likely new owner is in talks with Bari Weiss to buy The Free Press
Paramount's owner-in-waiting, David Ellison, met with journalist entrepreneur Bari Weiss on Friday about a possible tie-up between CBS News and her startup The Free Press. The pair met on the sidelines of an annual gathering of media moguls in Sun Valley, Idaho, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Ellison has been holding talks with Weiss in recent weeks as he awaits Trump administration approval of the pending merger between Paramount and his firm, Skydance Media. Once the merger takes effect, Ellison will oversee Paramount, including its storied CBS News division. Ellison has been tight-lipped about his vision for CBS, so his interest in The Free Press is a significant signal about his plans to invest in reporting and analysis. Ellison is said to be interested in infusing Weiss's editorial perspective into CBS News, as the media newsletter Status first reported last month. The New York Times reported on Skydance's 'early talks' to acquire The Free Press on Friday. Weiss became something of a journalistic household name after she quit The Times in 2020 and blasted its 'illiberal environment.' One year later, she had gained enough of a following on her Substack-hosted publication, originally named Common Sense, to start hiring a staff. In her original pitch for the publication, she wrote, 'There are tens of millions of Americans who aren't on the hard left or the hard right who feel that the world has gone mad.' Weiss said her website, later renamed The Free Press, was for people who 'prefer to think for themselves.' She gained subscribers, but also critics, through the site's volume of so-called anti-woke columns and stories. She has similarly won both support and scrutiny for her strong support of Israel – a view that Ellison has also been outspoken about. Earlier this year New York magazine described The Free Press as a media organ that 'both wants to excoriate liberals but not fold fully into the MAGA wing.' One recent column was titled 'Have You Heard The Good News?' and was subtitled, 'Because the progressive left and the MAGA right clearly have not.' The Free Press is more of a digital magazine than an up-to-the-minute network news operation like CBS News — but that could make it a complement to CBS's current offerings. It also has a growing web video arm, composed mostly of YouTube-style interviews and opinionated chats. Last year the startup was valued at around $100 million, according to a Financial Times report. A spokesperson for Ellison declined to comment. A representative for The Free Press could not immediately be reached.
