Tom Holland referred to his wife, Zendaya, by an unexpected name at the Spider-Man: Brand New Day premiere in Rome.

While the pair were talking to different reporters on the red carpet at the premiere, Holland called out to Zendaya to ask her a question, as seen in a video shared by People.

“Maree!” Holland shouted, to which Zendaya responded back, “Yeah?”

Holland then asked her where they were going after the premiere, to which she said, “Giolitti’s.” Zendaya added more context to the reporter she was speaking with, telling them, “That’s where I’m going after this.”

Zendaya’s full name is Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman, meaning Holland used one of her middle names to refer to her on the carpet.

Holland also posted photos of him and Zendaya at the premiere to his Instagram on Tuesday.

The first photo in his carousel is a black-and-white picture of him and Zendaya walking hand-in-hand across the Ponte Sant’Angelo in Rome. Zendaya is dressed in a vintage Giorgio Armani web dress.

The second photo was taken in color and features the couple looking up at the sky as a Spider-Man: Brand New Day graphic is displayed on Castel Sant’Angelo behind them. Many other black-and-white and color photos follow in the rest of Holland’s post.

“When in Rome! Spider-Man Brand New Day,” Holland captioned the carousel.

June 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Motörhead and Scorpions drummer Mikkey Dee has joined actor William Shatner’s upcoming heavy metal album.

Dee will play on a cover of the Judas Priest song “Living After Midnight” alongside the 95-year-old Star Trek icon for the record.

“I needed pounding beats to make the music feel the way I feel it,” Shatner says in a statement. “The drums drive the emotion. They create the urgency, the excitement, the danger. Heavy metal should hit you in the chest and move your soul at the same time.”

As previously reported, the album will also include Shatner performing the Priest track “You’ve got Another Thing Comin'” with Rob Halford, as well as covers of songs by metal legends including Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden. The record’s title and full track and guest list have yet to be revealed.

According to a press release, Shatner is now considering bringing the album to the live stage for an event described as “part concert, part theatrical experience, and part celebration of heavy metal’s enduring power and legacy.”

“The proposed production would transform Shatner’s star-studded recording project into an immersive live spectacle combining legendary musicians, cinematic visuals, storytelling, and the larger-than-life charisma that has made Shatner a global icon for more than six decades,” the press release reads.

June 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

(OAHU, Hawaii) — The United States Coast Guard and local officials are conducting a search for a 49-year-old man and his 16-year-old son who went missing Tuesday morning after leaving for a hike on the eastern coast of Oahu, a Coast Guard press release said.

Family members said the pair left their hotel at around 7 a.m. Tuesday to hike the Hanauma Bay Rock Bridge Trail, according to officials. Passersby found a backpack containing the man’s belongings near the trail at 8:45 a.m. and notified the Honolulu Police Department, the release said.

Police, the Honolulu Fire Department, Honolulu Ocean Safety Department and the Coast Guard launched a joint search operation late Tuesday morning after confirmation that the father and son were missing, ABC News Honolulu affiliate KITV reported.

The names of the father and son have not been released.

The agencies searched along the trail and surrounding areas, and deployed fire department helicopters and rescue boat, safety department jet skis and Coast Guard resources, the fire department said.

The mission was suspended at 5:30 p.m. local time Tuesday due to adverse weather conditions and was scheduled to resume Wednesday morning, fire officials said.

Top Oversight Dem demands info from Reflecting Pool contractors overseeing renovation

June 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

(WASHINGTON) — The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee sent letters Wednesday to the contractors overseeing the renovation at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on the National Mall, requesting information such as contracts and water quality records.

The Reflecting Pool has been plagued with algae and peeling paint in the days since the Trump administration completed its renovation, which cost taxpayers more than $16 million.

Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., sent separate letters to the company hired to paint the reflecting pool and the company hired to remove the algae that later appeared in the pool.

“Donald Trump’s disastrous renovation of our national reflecting pool is his latest failed vanity project,” Garcia said in a statement. “The President should be focused on making life more affordable for the American people, not rewarding his loyalists with government contracts and wasting taxpayer money on failing projects. We’re demanding answers straight from the contractors about the project’s failures.”

The ranking member requested information by July 8, 2026, including the scope of the work, contract performance standards, communications with the National Park Service and amounts invoiced or paid.

Democrats, who are in the minority, do not have subpoena power to compel these contractors to hand over information or even respond.

Trump said this week the Reflecting Pool will be drained again for “permanent repair” around the Fourth of July and said that six people have now been arrested for alleged damage to the site. No charges had been filed in the alleged arrests.

The Interior Department and the U.S. Park Police have not responded to multiple outreaches for evidence of the alleged vandalism.

Backstreet Boys’ Kevin Richardson recalls the moment his kids realized how famous he is

June 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Even if your dad was in one of the bestselling groups of all time, if you weren’t around to see them in their heyday, you might not fully realize how famous he is. But when an artist you love thinks your dad’s a big deal, that’s pretty convincing proof. At least, that’s what Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardson discovered a few years ago.

Speaking to Billboard, Kevin said that during the group’s DNA tour, he and his kids were eating at a Toronto restaurant when superstar rapper Drake, a Toronto native, happened to drop in. “The maitre’d is like, ‘Uh, excuse me, Drake is here and he would love, when you’re finished, he would love to be able to come over and say hi,'” Kevin recalled, noting that his kids immediately started freaking out.

When they eventually went over and met Drake, Kevin said the rapper shared a story about how he had his first kiss to a Backstreet song. Then, according to Kevin, Drake asked, “What are you guys doing in town?”

“I’m like, ‘We’re playing three shows.’ He’s like, ‘Could I come through?'” Kevin continued.

“He came through, got up on stage and performed with us,” Kevin laughed. “So that is really when it clicked for my kids.”

Dutton Ranch has been renewed for season 2 at Paramount+. This renewal comes ahead of the release of the first season’s final two episodes.
