Zendaya teases bridal-themed fashion with something old, new, borrowed … and soon, blue?

Zendaya has a few more days to wear something blue. The actor, promoting “The Drama” with co-star Robert Pattinson, has worn something old, something new and something borrowed. It all fits in with the wedding theme of “The Drama,” an edgy comedy opening Friday about a Boston couple whose nuptials are thrown into chaos by a dark revelation. Of course, it also dovetails with the bridal theme of Zendaya’s own life. There has been unconfirmed speculation flying — fed in part by rings she’s been wearing — that the superstar is already married to Tom Holland.

‘Project Hail Mary’ flies to $54.5 million second weekend, horror reaches a saturation point

NEW YORK (AP) — “Project Hail Mary” stayed aloft in its second weekend, holding strongly with $54.5 million, adding to the long-term prospects of the year’s biggest hit thus far. The Phil Lord and Chris Miller sci-fi adventure dipped only 32% after notching the best non-franchise opening weekend since 2023’s “Oppenheimer.” Amazon MGM’s yet, “Project Hail Mary” has grossed $300.8 million worldwide in two weeks. The weekend’s top new release, “They Will Kill You,” debuted with a disappointing $5 million for Warner Bros. The gory R-rated horror film starring Zazie Beetz only cost $20 million to make. But the result suggests theaters may have become oversaturated in horror.

Moroccan court jails rapper who has criticized ties with Israel and corruption

RABAT, Morocco (AP) — A Moroccan court has sentenced a rapper known for his criticism of the country’s ties with Israel and government corruption to eight months in prison. It is the latest in a string of penalties against young musical artists in the North African kingdom. The court this week found the 23-year-old rapper, Souhaib Qabli, guilty of insulting a constitutional body, his lawyer told The Associated Press. Rights groups have described the case as a political measure aimed at curbing freedoms. Morocco’s constitution generally guarantees freedom of expression, but certain types of speech can still trigger criminal charges. Qabli is appealing the ruling.
