Zendaya and Tom Holland are taking the next step in their relationship ... because they're engaged!!!

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... the "Spider Man" star popped the question between Christmas and New Year's ... dropping to one knee in a very intimate setting in one of Zendaya's family homes in the United States.

We're told Tom didn't make a huge show of the engagement -- it wasn't a big, over-the-top proposal -- instead, it was very romantic and intimate.

Trista Sutter says she's not cut out for life in the military ... because her first taste of Special Forces military training was brutal and intense.

The original 'Bachelorette' star joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday and we asked her about her experience on the upcoming season of FOX's "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test" ... and if there was ever a point when she considered throwing in the towel.

The reality show takes a group of celebrities and has them undergo grueling challenges from the playbook of the U.S. military's selection process ... and Trista says she was totally humbled.

Famed Hells Angels biker Chuck Zito says he will NOT be prosecuted for allegedly driving around New York with a bogus license plate ... telling us cops got it all wrong.

We got the "Sons of Anarchy" star at Mulberry Street Pizzeria in Beverly Hills and he told our photog the charges against him were dropped.

As we reported ... the actor and stuntman was arrested in November after a traffic stop in The Bronx. Cops said the Florida dealer plate on his vintage 1968 Chevelle SS was fake, and Chuck was arrested for misdemeanor possession of a forged license plate.

Late New York socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein, often referred to in the media as "Catwoman" due to her surgically enhanced cat-like features, is going to be cremated ... and her remains are going overseas.

Jocelyn's fiancé, Lloyd Klein, tells TMZ ... she will be remembered in a small and private funeral in Paris and after she's cremated her ashes will be taken to her ranch in Kenya.

We're told Jocelyn's final resting place will be near family ... her father is buried at the same African ranch, and her mother's ashes are there as well.

Jocelyn's fiancé says she loved Kenya ... so it's fitting that's where her ashes are going to wind up.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have settled their divorce, TMZ has learned, and in a month and a half they will officially call their marriage quits.

In a nutshell, each walks away with what they individually acquired during the marriage. The money Ben earned from his various movie projects is his, and the same goes for what J Lo earned during their 2-year marriage -- and neither will pay spousal support to the other.

Notably, Ben will keep his stake in his hugely successful production company, Artists Equity -- which he created in 2022 -- in which he partnered with Matt Damon.

Ben formed the company in November 2022, about 4 months after he married J Lo, and AE's since churned out hit movies like "Air," "Unstoppable," "The Instigators," "Small Things Like These" and "The Accountant 2."

Jay Leno’s got Nikki Glaser’s back, and he's not having any of the backlash -- the comedy legend thinks she absolutely killed it during her Golden Globes hosting debut.

In fact, Jay tells TMZ he thinks Nikki's hosting gig couldn't have gone better ... adding to us in L.A. Monday that he thought her performance went off without a hitch, and every joke hit just right.

Check out the full clip where Jay breaks down why every joke Nikki cracked was spot on, walking the edge with enough truth that her targets wouldn't get offended.

A super-rare Allen Iverson card just hit the auction block, but it could very well be out of most collectors' price range ... 'cause someone's already bid $150K!!

TMZ Sports has learned the 1997 Skybox E-X 2001 Essential Credentials Now Iverson piece went up for auction at Heritage Auctions on New Year's Day ... and it's already received an aggressive six-figure bid.

It's a huge number ... especially considering the previous record for an Iverson card sale, according to HA, was $79,200.

DeRay Davis is giving Nikki Glaser her flowers for her hosting chops at the Golden Globes ... and he's nominating a host for the Emmys ... 50 Cent!!!

We got the comedian Monday at LAX and our photog asked him about Nikki's performance hosting Sunday's award show.

DeRay says Nikki was just what the doctor ordered ... in more ways than one.

The wife of a Texas man convicted and imprisoned for his role in the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots tells us she’s in touch with the Trump administration about his possible pardon -- and she’s confident he’ll be released.

Nicole Reffitt, wife of Guy Reffitt -- currently serving an 80-month sentence -- told "TMZ Live" Monday that while the incoming Trump administration hasn’t shared exact plans, she’s been told to stay ready for action when Trump steps into the Oval Office on day one, January 20.

You’ve gotta see the video -- Nicole’s confidence in her husband’s release is crystal clear, and she thinks pardoning him, or commuting his sentence, along with others hit with what she says are overblown charges could actually help unite the public.

Nikki Glaser’s Diddy jokes at the 2025 Golden Globes aren’t getting any laughs from two lawyers representing several of the rapper’s accusers.

Attorney Ariel Mitchell -- who represents alleged Diddy rape victim Ashley Parham and other Diddy accusers -- blasted Nikki Glaser for making jokes at the expense of others. Mitchell tells TMZ she hopes Nikki herself has never been sexually assaulted or mocked for it.

Mitchell also pointed out that, as a woman, one would think Nikki would know better, saying that making light of this ugly situation is exactly why so many sexual assault victims never come forward and report their abuse.

Ted Turner, the founder of CNN, is being treated by medical experts as he recovers from a bout of pneumonia that landed him in the hospital ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for Turner tells TMZ ... the legendary media mogul has been recovering at a rehabilitation center in Florida following a recent hospitalization. The rep tells us he'd suffered a "mild case of pneumonia."

The rep says Ted "expects a full recovery."

Tom Holland's proposal to Zendaya was months in the making ... TMZ has learned the Marvel star scored an important family member's blessing long before he got down on one knee.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... the 'Spider-Man' star met with the "Euphoria" actress' dad, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, "months ago" in order to ask for Zendaya's hand in marriage.

We're told this was an important step for Tom ... as he's very traditional and felt it was important to secure Kazembe's blessing first.

Marcus Allen clearly doesn't think Travis Hunter will have any issues playing both ways in the NFL ... the Hall of Famer tells TMZ Sports whoever drafts the Colorado star is getting "two players!"

Hunter's future, of course, has been the source of many debates in recent weeks -- as some, including Rod Woodson, say he'll have to pick either defensive back or wide receiver when he gets to the next level in order to sustain his high level of play.

But when we got Allen out at LAX this week ... he seemed to say the Heisman Trophy winner will have no problems logging snaps on offense AND defense in the pros.

Vikings vs. Lions is one of the most consequential regular season NFL games in league history ... a game so important, there surely will be no choreographed dancing from Camryn Bynum and his teammates, right?

WRONG!

TMZ Sports caught up with the standout defender just days before the highly anticipated matchup between the 14-2 squads -- which will determine the NFC North winner and recipient of a first-round playoff bye (while the loser will be the 5th seed!) -- and asked the 26-year-old safety if he had anything special planned.

Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson have both landed college head coaching jobs in the last few weeks ... and Rod Woodson tells TMZ Sports he couldn't be happier to see it.

The Hall of Famer called the hirings "refreshing" ... particularly after years of watching ex-NFL stars get passed over for gigs all across the country.

Woodson, of course, knows the landscape well ... while he's currently working as a broadcaster for Baltimore Ravens games, he's dabbled in the coaching world throughout the last couple of decades -- and he understands just how hard it is to get a sideline job.

Filmmaker Jeff Baena -- best known for directing films like "Life After Beth" and "The Little Hours," and the husband of Aubrey Plaza, has died ... TMZ has learned.

Baena was pronounced dead at the scene ... law enforcement says he died by suicide.
