Megyn Kelly faces backlash after claiming Sydney Sweeney was invited to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding because of her ‘enormous breasts'
Former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly stirred controversy by suggesting that actress
Sydney Sweeney
was invited to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's lavish Venice wedding solely because of her physical appearance.
'Enormous Breasts' comment draws fire
As reported by Page Six, Kelly remarked during the June 30 episode of 'The Megyn Kelly Show' that 'Sydney Sweeney, the new toast of the town out there, because she's got these enormous breasts that everybody's obsessed with—how does she wind up there?' She went on to question the authenticity of the guest list, implying that many attendees were invited for publicity rather than personal connection. She said, 'If you told me it was like Lauren Sánchez's colleagues from the first news station she worked at, sure, that's normal.
That's what a true friend would do: invite their lifelong friends. Or Jeff Bezos when he first opened Amazon, yeah, okay, I get it. Even Bill Gates was there—I'll give him that one, huge fellow tech titan.'
Why was Sydney Sweeney really there?
Despite Kelly's insinuations, a source told Page Six that Sweeney was invited due to her professional ties with Amazon MGM Studios. She is set to star in an upcoming film adaptation of the video game Split Fiction, directed by Jon M.

Elon Musk's ex Grimes calls his social media platform ‘poison'- but what's behind the dig?
It's almost too ironic to be real: Grimes chose to call out 's social media platform on his own platform. Yes, the Canadian artist didn't hold back when she ripped into X (formerly Twitter), the platform her ex—tech billionaire Elon Musk—has owned since 2022. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The 37-year-old musician, who shares three children with Musk, made it clear that she's been avoiding social media altogether because of what it's become under his influence. 'Ok I've basically been entirely off social media and returning here it is overwhelmingly, abundantly and profoundly clear that this place - and all of these places - are a poison - a prison of utterly short form deep deep-sounding nonsense attached to no one that ur brain will discard imaging its learning,' she posted bluntly. Grimes—real name Claire Elise Boucher—didn't stop there. She went on to call the entire online experience 'a theatre' and 'a s****y pale simulacra of a life.' Her post gained quite a traction. One user commented, 'That's entropy at work. Social media can be an absolute treasure, if you take the time to mindfully curate your feed. If you let distraction go on unchecked, what can be medicine will indeed become poison. Choose what you interact with. You are what you eat.' The comment stresses on reversing the situation. One must not let the algorithm command our life, rather we have the power to command the algorithm to work as we wish it to. Source: X Another user added, 'very true, but we're all addicted nonetheless because of the allure of fake connections, quick dopamine hits and empty promise of grandeur.' About a month earlier, Grimes— born Claire Elise Boucher — shared that she had been diagnosed with ADHD and autism. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "I think the nature of this uninformed social media mental health subculture is rly a big concern," Grimes wrote. "Some are great ofc but a lot of these seem like explicitly anti civilizational and geared towards making people worse." Grimes and Musk, have three children together: X Æ A-12 (age 4), Exa Dark Sideræl (age 3), and Techno Mechanicus, also 3, who was born in 2022. The two officially went their separate ways nearly four years ago, with Musk confirming to Page Six in 2021 that they were 'semi-separated.' While her words might sound heavy, the artist made it clear she's channeling her energy into something far more creative—new music. 'I literally could not be more hyped on sub focus,' she said, referring to the British electronic music producer. 'Dance music has felt bizarrely sterile and increasingly so over time.' 'Working on some stuff for his record and it's literally hitting like the autistic sci fi shit in all the right places like it rly feels like cinematic, like I'm right in Neuromancer ,' she added, referencing the cyberpunk novel by William Gibson. And she wasn't done. 'But also it's genuinely euphoric. It has been so long since I've felt euphoric about dance music that I am actually disturbed at how disembodied and status oriented music can become.'

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Put Differences Aside to Party With Daughter Daisy on USD 500 Million Superyacht
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are determined to be the perfect parents. According to the latest reports from Page Six, the former couple was spotted on Jeff Bezos' superyacht Koru, priced at a whopping USD 500 million. The singer missed the multi-billionaire's wedding to her bestie Lauren Sanchez. The actor is said to have gotten cosy with a mystery woman at the nuptials and chatted up Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti. The two accompanied their 4-year-old daughter, Daisy. Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's Day Out with Daughter Dove According to the report, the exes took to Italy over the weekend for a remarkable co-parenting moment in the new chapter in their lives. Katy Perry was spotted in a black bikini, which then turned into a blue shorts and unbuttoned shirt combo. Meanwhile, the actor donned black speedos, which then turned into a white shirt and baseball cap fit. Orlando Bloom shared a sweet father-daughter moment with Daisy Dove as he threw her in the air, playing with the kid dressed in a white sundress. He then landed kisses on her cheek while the mum looked at them. Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos served as the third wheel to the couple who seemed to be sorting out their issues after their recent split. They were also spotted taking a walk with their child, and then grabbing some ice cream under the Capri sun. Previously, a joint statement from the couple's representatives spoke about their plans for the future: 'They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is – and always will be raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.' This confirmed their split after being together for almost a decade, with on-and-off dating, and even an engagement, which seems to have ended tragically. It looks that the couple was planning their separation for many months, as the confirmation came with the news of them 'shifting their relationship' over time. Following their break-up, Katy Perry was nowhere to be seen during the lavish Bezos-Sanchez wedding and instead performed amid tears at her Australian leg of the Lifetimes tour.
