From Tom Brady and the cast of ‘Stranger Things’ to Ali Krieger, Ashlyn Harris, Luis Fonsi, David Beckham, Tyler Cameron, and Kathy Hilton — here is what’s new and noteworthy this week.

Stranger Things’ Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin join forces with Domino’s and the pizza company’s new mind ordering app.
The app is a new immersive experience which places “test subjects” inside Hawkins National Lab in Hawkins, Indiana in 1986 – the setting of Stranger Things. Users can explore the lab, uncover Easter eggs, use their telekinetic powers to gain control of certain objects and place a Domino’s Easy Order by using facial recognition and eye-tracking technology.
As part of the campaign, Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin appear as their characters Dustin and Lucas visiting a Domino’s.
Soccer stars Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris celebrate Mother’s Day with a custom wrapped car from Hertz to commemorate their second Mother’s Day with daughter Sloane Phillips. The custom wrapping for vehicles has been so successful that Hertz is making them available to renters who are celebrating a special occasion. Customers can even customize their very own vehicle wrapping “Let’s Go!” vehicle.
