Best of Boston

WCVB’s news team managed to pull off the journalistic feat of the year: completely missing Zendaya while she strolled directly through their Newbury Street B-roll footage. Unbeknownst to the News Center 5 crew, the star—in Boston filming The Drama—casually photobombed holiday stroll coverage with her mother. Eagle-eyed viewers, however, spotted the A-lister immediately, with one posting a TikTok that has since garnered nearly 600,000 views. Sometimes, the best scoops are the ones you don’t even mean to get.
