Zendaya and Tom Holland haven't begun wedding planning, according to Law Roach
Zendaya and Tom Holland are yet to start planning their wedding, according to the actress' stylist Law Roach. The couple, both 28, met on the set of Marvel's Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016, and news of their engagement was confirmed after Zendaya flashed a diamond ring on her left ring finger at the Golden Globes in January this year. However, due to Zendaya's hectic schedule, they haven't started the "process" of organising their nuptials yet. Her longtime stylist told E! News: "The process hasn't even started yet." He continued: "Zendaya is working on so many movies. She's now filming the next iteration of Dune, so she's away doing that. It's so many movies, so we have time. We have a lot of time." Roach avoided a question about Zendaya's bridal style by quipping that she will be a "secret bride". The RuPaul's Drag Race judge - whose clients also include Céline Dion and Anya Taylor-Joy - added: "I'm really excited because I know that they really love each other and they have for a really long time. "The fact that the world has been able to share in that love story, I think it's really beautiful." Meanwhile, Benson Boone recently said he would gladly sing at the pair's wedding. A date for the smitten couple's special day has not been confirmed, but Benson, 22, has said he is willing to perform at their ceremony when the time comes. The Beautiful Things hitmaker told E! News at the American Music Awards in May when asked if he'd be up for being their wedding singer: "Immediate yes. Of course! I'm not going to pass that up!" His comments came after he and Tom were recently spotted having lunch together, and Benson was full of praise for the star. Asked how Benson developed a relationship with the Onward actor, he said: "Just word of mouth, and it got around. Yeah, he's a great human being." Tom and Zendaya went public with their romance in 2021, and she has previously admitted that she feels "extra safe" whenever she works with him. She told Vanity Fair's 2025 Hollywood Issue: "It's actually strangely comfortable. It's like second nature, if anything. You feel extra safe with the person you're acting beside. I love working with him. "He's so talented, and so passionate about what he does. He always gives things 1,000 per cent, even if he's absolutely worn down. I really appreciate that about him. "It feels pretty normal. That's how we met. Literally, at a chemistry read." And Tom Googles Zendaya's name to "check" if she is OK. Appearing on the On the Menu podcast, he confessed: "The last thing I Googled was actually Zendaya. "I'm not on [social media], and I delete it when I'm not using it. So, sometimes, like, it's more of a bit of an anxiety thing, but I'll check to see if everything's good and to make sure we're all cool. "So I just give her a little Google and look [through] the news, and I'm like, 'She's good.'"

Cardinals training camp: RB Trey Benson has also bulked up
RB Trey Benson has added about eight pounds between Year 1 and Year 2. One of the biggest offseason stories for the Arizona Cardinals has been the physical change in second-year wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. He bulked up and has his weight up to about 220 pounds. He is noticeably more muscular. But he isn't the only second-year player to put on some weight and strength. Running back Trey Benson also has. "I'm like 226 right now," Benson told reporters at training camp on Sunday. "I was like 218 to 220 last year." On the roster, he is still listed at six feet tall and 220 pounds. Staret James Conner is listed at 6-1 and 231 pounds. Benson said last year how he wanted to be able to be more like Conner. Adding some bulk will allow him to do that. Benson has breakaway speed, but he doesn't feel the extra weight impacts that. "I feel more explosive now, and that's the crazy part about it," he said. "I've been working with Kyle (Sammons), know, the sports science guy." While for Harrison's growth, it was more about diet and eating more. For Benson it was changing how he lifted weights. Benson sees a greater role for himself in 2025. Last year as a rookie, he had 291 rushing yards and a touchdown, logging only 137 total snaps, compared to Conner's 619 total snaps. Benson believes he can combine with Conner to be two RB1s. Get more Cardinals and NFL coverage from Cards Wire's Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.

Who are the Top 10 Rushing Leaders in FBS History?
Since the dawn of time, college football has been a land of premier running backs. In fact, a running back has won the sought-after Heisman Trophy 45 times – in 45 individual seasons – since the award was first introduced in 1935. Just last year, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty rushed for 2,601 yards — the second-most for a player in the history of the sport — and 29 touchdowns, helping him become the runner-up for the 2024 Heisman Trophy Award and get selected by the Las Vegas Raiders with the No. 6 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. There are countless great backs in that history, but sometimes they only start for one or two years given the depth of a powerhouse program and/or players redshirting. On that note, however, which players have the most rushing yards in the history of college football? The Top 10 Rushing Leaders in FBS History 10. Texas RB Cedrick Benson – 5,540 yards Across Benson's four seasons in Austin (2001-04), he was one of the best running backs in the sport in every season. Benson averaged 1,385 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns per season, while leading the Big 12 in rushing scores in both his junior and senior seasons. The consistent force that was Benson was later selected by the Chicago Bears with the No. 4 pick in the 2005 NFL Draft. 9. Miami (OH) RB Travis Prentice – 5,596 yards Prentice has an argument for being the best player in MAC football history. Across his three seasons at Miami (OH), Prentice dazzled, leading the conference in both rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in each of his last three seasons with the program (1997-99), averaging a whopping 20.3 rushing touchdowns per season over that span. Prentice went on to be selected in the third round of the 2000 NFL Draft. 8. USC RB Charles White – 5,598 yards White did it all at USC. He won multiple accolades, was one of the best backs in the nation and won a national championship. A two-time All-American and two-time Pac-10 Player of the Year, White led the Pac-10 in rushing yards in each of his final three seasons with the Trojans (1977-79), rushing touchdowns in each of his last two seasons and won the 1979 Heisman Trophy Award. Of course, he also won the National Championship with the Trojans in the 1978 season. 7. Oregon RB Royce Freeman – 5,621 yards Freeman came to Oregon and breathed fire from the jump. Across his first two seasons with the Ducks (2014-15), Freeman rushed for 1,600.5 yards and 17.5 touchdowns per season, while leading the Pac-12 in rushing scores in both years on an Oregon team that reached the 2015 National Championship Team. In all, Freeman rushed for 5,621 yards and 60 touchdowns over his four-year collegiate career spent entirely in Eugene. 6. Memphis RB DeAngelo Williams – 6,026 yards Across his four seasons at Memphis from 2002 through 2005, Williams was the best playmaker in Conference USA and pound-for-pound as good as any back in college football. In each of his last three seasons, Williams led the conference in rushing yards, rushing touchdowns in each of his last two seasons and yards per carry in each of his first two seasons. Furthermore, he led the entire sport with 1,964 rushing yards in 2005 and was second with 1,948 rushing yards in 2004. A three-time Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year, Williams was selected by the Carolina Panthers with the No. 27 pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. 5. Pittsburgh RB Tony Dorsett – 6,082 yards Dorsett was a force to be reckoned with, rushing for 1,000-plus yards and double-double touchdowns in each of his four seasons at Pittsburgh (1973-76). In 1976, Dorsett rushed for a nation-high with both 1,948 yards and 21 touchdowns, helping him win the Heisman Trophy and leading Pittsburgh to a National Championship. Dorsett was also a finalist for the 1975 Heisman Trophy and went on to be selected with the No. 2 pick in the 1977 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, with whom he won a Super Bowl in his rookie season and went on to have a Hall of Fame career. 4. Wisconsin RB Jonathan Taylor – 6,174 yards Jonathan Taylor had a lot of plays called for him at Wisconsin — like, a lot. In each of his three seasons playing for the Badgers (2017-19), Taylor led the Big Ten in both rushing yards and carries and led the conference in rushing touchdowns in each of his last two seasons. Furthermore, Taylor led the nation with 2,194 rushing yards in 2018. Over his three-year collegiate career, Taylor, a two-time All-American, rushed for 2,058 yards and 16.7 touchdowns per season, finishing in the top 10 in Heisman Trophy voting in all three seasons. He was the driving force of Wisconsin's offense, and for a team that went 13-1 in his 2017 freshman season. 3. Texas RB Ricky Williams – 6,279 yards Williams was an overwhelming force in the Longhorns' backfield. Already a potent back in his freshman and sophomore seasons, Williams led the nation in both rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in both 1997 and 1998. In '98, Williams rushed for 2,124 yards and 27 touchdowns on a Big 12-high 5.9 yards per carry en route to winning the Heisman Trophy Award. A two-time All-American and two-time Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, Williams was selected by the New Orleans Saints with the No. 5 pick in the 1999 NFL Draft. 2. Wisconsin RB Ron Dayne – 6,397 yards Good luck trying to bring down the 245-pound Dayne. A rumbling force in the backfield, Dayne led the Big Ten in rushing yards in his freshman, junior and senior seasons and rushing touchdowns in his freshman and senior seasons. Across his four years at Madison from 1996 through 1999, Dayne rushed for 1,599.3 yards and 15.8 touchdowns on 5.7 yards per carry per season. In 1999, Dayne rushed for 1,834 yards and 19 touchdowns — which was tied for first in the nation — helping him win the Heisman Trophy and Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year honors. Dayne was then selected by the New York Giants with the No. 11 pick in the 2000 NFL Draft. 1. San Diego State RB Donnel Pumphrey – 6,405 yards Across his four seasons at San Diego State, Pumphrey just kept running. After an efficient 2013 freshman campaign, Pumphrey proceeded to lead the Mountain West in rushing yards in three consecutive seasons, rushing for 1,884.3 yards and 18 touchdowns per year from 2014-16. In 2016, Pumphrey, who was the 2015 and 2016 Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year, led the nation with 2,133 rushing yards and finished in the top 10 in Heisman voting. Pumphrey, whose 6,405 career rushing yards are first in FBS history, was selected in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Check out all of our Daily Rankers .

Benson raises over $3.5M in Michigan governor's bid
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's (D) gubernatorial campaign said it has raised over $3.5 million since its launch in January, according to figures first shared with The Hill on Thursday. Benson's campaign reported receiving over 27,000 individual contributions from the state's 83 counties during the period, with over 95 percent of them under $100. According to her campaign, Benson has over $2.4 million cash-on-hand. The fundraising haul is more than double the $1.5 million Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), raised at this point in 2017 after announcing her first gubernatorial bid in January of that year. The haul also puts Benson ahead of her opponents in the state's Democratic gubernatorial primary. Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist's (D) campaign said he raised over $750,000, while former Genesee County, Mich. Sheriff Chris Swanson (D) said his campaign has raised over $1 million. Gilchrist jumped into the primary in March, while Swanson announced his bid in February. 'The numbers make it clear: Jocelyn Benson is the best person to take on any candidate, Republican or Independent, in November 2026,' Benson's campaign manager Nikki Goldschein said in a statement. 'This record-breaking haul not only showcases the strength of this campaign, it tells the story of the movement we are building.' A poll commissioned by the Detroit Regional Chamber and released in May showed Benson leading the Democratic primary field with 59.3 percent support from registered Democratic voters. Gilchrist and Swanson trailed at 6.9 percent and 8.1 percent respective. Nearly 26 percent of registered Democrats said they were undecided. 2024 Election Coverage Republicans are also facing a crowded gubernatorial primary in the state. Rep. John James (R-Mich.), state Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt (R ), former state House Speaker Tom Leonard (R ), and former state Attorney General Mike Cox (R ) are vying for the party's nomination. Cox, who jumped into the race in April, said his campaign has raised $2.4 million and has $1.9 million in the bank. Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan announced earlier this year that he is running for governor as an Independent. Michigan's governor's race is slated to be one of the most competitive races in 2026. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the race as a 'toss-up.'

Ozzy Osbourne paramedics on helicopter battled for two hours trying to save star
Air ambulance paramedics spent hours attempting to save Ozzy Osbourne's life after the music icon took ill. It was announced on Tuesday night that the Prince of Darkness had died aged 76, having battled ill health for several years. The sad news was announced by the Osbourne family in a statement shared from Birmingham, Ozzy's hometown. They said: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis." Now, reports claim that an air ambulance landed in a field close to Ozzy's home in the UK at around 10:30am on Tuesday, in order to treat Ozzy, but they failed to resuscitate the musician. A local resident said they became alarmed after noticing the helicopter in the quiet village and saw it landing close to Ozzy and Sharon's mansion. They told the MailOnline: "All of us were talking about it and wondering what had happened. We immediately feared it may be for him as he was known to be in fragile health. When we heard later that night that he had died it confirmed our worst fears." A spokesperson for Thames Valley Air Ambulance said: "We can confirm that our helicopter was dispatched to provide advanced critical care at an incident near Chalfont St Giles yesterday." The chopper took off from RAF Benson in Oxfordshire, close to Ozzy's home, which is located in Valfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire. It's believed that the medics were in the air for just 15 minutes before they reached Ozzy, and spent around two hours attempting to save his life. Thames Valley Air Ambulance cover Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire and often reaches the location of the patient in just 15 minutes. The bright red chopper is often used for patients requiring the most urgent care, ranging from heart attacks, strokes and traffic accidents. Ozzy's death came just days after the Black Sabbath legend performed his final concert at Back To The Beginning in his beloved hometown. The news of his death left the entertainment industry heartbroken, with fans also sharing the heartache. Meanwhile, his sisters received the news via phone call hours before the Osbourne family issued their statement. Speaking from her sister Gillian's house, Ozzy's sister, Jean, told the Mirror that the last time she saw her brother, she found it "upsetting." She said: "We saw him in Birmingham the other week when he and the rest of the band were given the freedom of the city. "It was upsetting because he could not stand up straight, but he was still our John, still cracking the jokes. To us, he was our brother, not a celebrity, so it's crazy to see the outpouring of love since his death was announced. We just can't believe he is gone, and we won't be getting another phone call or text from him. Every week without fail, he would get in touch, either by phone or text, to ask how we were all doing and what was going on."
