Bezos Wedding's Hollywood Dust-Up: Rosie O'Donnell Dings Oprah, Charlize Theron Says Guests ‘Suck' and More
Celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brady, Sydney Sweeney and more attended the Venice-based wedding this past weekend. Their choice to show up to the lavish affair was ridiculed by other A-listers online. Many of them did not hold back how they felt.
'I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding, but that's okay because they suck and we're cool,' Charlize Theron said at the fifth annual block party for her charity – Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project – in L.A.
She continued: 'Here in Los Angeles, in the U.S. and across the globe, we're moving backwards fast. Immigration policy has destroyed the lives of families, not criminals; women's rights are becoming less and less every day; queer and trans lives are increasingly being erased; and gender-based violence is on the rise. This isn't just policy, it's personal.'
She ended her speech succinctly with a 'yeah, f–k them.' Rosie O'Donnell also took to her Instagram to eviscerate not only the wedding but Oprah specifically for attending.
'The Bezos' wedding. It turned my stomach seeing all these billionaires gathering in the gross excess of it all. The show of it,' O'Donnell wrote. 'Is Oprah friends with Jeff Bezos? Really? How is that possible? He treats his employees with disdain. By any metric he is not a nice man. And his fake fem bot wife who looks like that. Why would he choose her after the salt of the earth Mackenzie [Scott]? Sold his soul is what it looks like from here. The devil is smiling at all his conquests.'
Katie Couric went after Sánchez's dress. The former CBS Evening News anchor left a comment critiquing the gown on a now-deleted Jack Schlossberg post, according to TMZ.
'Welcome to the eighties — when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled,' she wrote. 'Apparently, tacky is back.'
Mia Farrow indirectly shaded the whole affair by hyping up Bezos' ex-wife Scott. It was a bit kinder way to go after the wedding than others took.
'How awesome is MacKenzie Scott! (Jeff Bezos's first wife & mother of his 4 children). As of mid-December 2024, she had given a total of $19.3 billion to over 1600 charitable organizations.'
The celebrities weren't the only people calling out the reportedly $50 million wedding. The pair reportedly planned to get married in Cannaregio, in the center of the city. But mounting calls against their nuptials threatened to disrupt the wedding, which was moved elsewhere. The group said the wedding was moved to Arsenale, to the east of the original location.

A Manga Is Causing Earthquake Panic in Japan
Earthquakes can't be predicted. Scientists agree that precise predictions of a time, place, and magnitude is not possible with current technologies. Yet a years-old Japanese manga that claims a 'megaquake'—those above a magnitude of 8.0 on the Richter scale—will strike on July 5 has generated panic and deterred some inbound travelers for the past several months. The 2021 reprint of The Future I Saw by Ryo Tatsuki, a retired mangaka in her 70s, warns that a 'huge' tsunami 'three times the size' of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake will wash over countries in the Pacific Ocean. The first edition of the manga, published in 1999, had referred to a 'great disaster' in March 2011 that coincided with the earthquake that killed more than 18,000 people and caused the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster. Last month, Tatsuki appeared to scale back her prediction about a July 5 megaquake, telling the national newspaper Sankei that it may not happen. But she fell short of entirely withdrawing her warning. TIME has reached out to Tatsuki for comment. The 2021 reprint has sold more than 1 million copies in Japan, and social media content that has racked up millions of views is fueling the scientifically unfounded fears. In recent weeks, two Hong Kong-based airlines alone have cut down on flights to southern Japan due to lower passenger interest. 'We are surprised that such rumors have led to cancellations,' the Tokushima Tourism promotion division said. The Japanese government has warned about earthquake speculation. In April, it released a statement that, 'predicting earthquakes by specifying the date, time, and location is difficult with current scientific knowledge.' Last month, Japan Meteorological Agency director-general Ryoichi Nomura said in a news conference that it was 'regrettable that people are being affected by baseless information in this age of modern science.' Japan has long been a hotbed of seismic activity due to its position in the Pacific Ring of Fire. In August, JMA issued an advisory that 'the likelihood of a new major earthquake is higher than normal' in relation to the Nankai Trough, a 560 mi. oceanic trench to Japan's south. Earthquakes arising from the Nankai Trough are as the geologists Kyle Bradley and Judith A. Hubbard put it, 'the original definition of the 'Big One.'' Earlier this year, a government panel issued a report stating that a megaquake along the Nankai Trough has an 80% chance of happening in the next 30 years. Under the worst-case scenario, as many as 298,000 people could die, the report added. Japan experiences about 1,500 earthquakes a year, almost a fifth of the global total. The country has spent decades putting earthquake preparedness plans in place. Given the history and frequency of earthquakes in Japan, concern is understandable. But JMA's Nomura has 'strongly' urged the 'public not to take irrational actions driven by anxiety.' JMA remains a reliable source of information about earthquakes in Japan, as are the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the British Geological Survey (BGS), and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) in their respective regions.

Deshaun Watson and longtime girlfriend Jilly Anais flash diamond wedding bands after tying the knot
Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Watson. Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson married his longtime girlfriend, model Jilly Anais, in Miami on Thursday, July 3, which marked the couple's sixth dating anniversary, as seen in photos posted to their respective Instagram accounts. They flashed their diamond wedding bands in the snaps, and Watson showed off his custom white shirt, which had their wedding date stitched on his arm, '07.03.25.'

The Houston native is currently a 2025 Swim Search finalist.

Anais previously told Sports Illustrated Swimsuit she worked with a wedding planner and was stress-free during the planning process, adding her father would walk her down the aisle. ' I am the furthest thing from a bridezilla,' Anais quipped. 'My fiancé planned the entire honeymoon on his own. Advertisement 'I still am on cloud nine. Like, I had nothing to do with it. I'm so excited.' The couple, who celebrated five years together last July, announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post in March. Anais stood by Watson when he was accused of sexual misconduct by roughly two dozen massage therapists beginning in March 2021. He missed that season after requesting a trade out of Houston. Watson was suspended the first 11 games of the 2022 season, which delayed his Browns debut after signing a fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract with Cleveland that March. 4 Deshaun Watson #4 of the Cleveland Browns looks on during Cleveland Browns mandatory minicamp at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus on June 11, 2025 in Berea, Ohio.

He first suffered a season-ending right Achilles tear in Week 7 of the 2024 season.
