Days after this special milestone, Johnson's third child, Atherton Grace Johnson, whom he shares with wife Kelley Phleger, turned 25 and partied it up with her parents, siblings and friends at a Beauty and the Beast-themed gathering. Last year was particularly significant for the model, who stepped into the limelight in earnest when she walked the runway for Gucci's SS25 show in Milan. And that wasn't her first time modelling for the Italian luxury house. In 2021, she was a part of Gucci's famed Love Parade Show, reported Elle. On both occasions big sister Dakota watched from the sidelines, sitting proud as a Gucci ambassador herself.

In an interview with Glamour Spain, she revealed that her inspiration for picking up a camera was her grandmother. However, she has made a career out of being in front of it.

Bezos, Sanchez say 'I do' in a divided Venice
Bezos, Sanchez say 'I do' in a divided Venice Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez celebrated their nuptials with guests including Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey and Orlando Bloom. Photo: Reuters Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez tied the knot on Friday at a sumptuous ceremony with the rich and famous on an island in Venice's lagoon, out of the sight and sound of protesters. "This city seems impossible! It can't exist and yet, here it is!" an enchanted Bezos told a La Repubblica journalist on Thursday who got close to the magnate as he whizzed around the canals by boat. But protesters had a different view, wondering how long Venice can endure: While the billionaires party, activists say the fragile city is sinking, overrun by tourists, and a victim of depopulation as locals unable to pay soaring rents are forced out. "No Kings, No Bezos" read a sign in green neon projected on the St Mark's Campanile tower on Thursday night. Another sign read: "In the time it takes you to read this, Jeff Bezos's wealth has increased by more than your monthly salary." Bezos and Sanchez, a former news anchor and entertainment reporter, celebrated their nuptials with guests including Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey and Orlando Bloom. The tech magnate, 61, and Sanchez, 55, are staying at the Aman hotel, a luxury 16th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal with a view of the Rialto bridge. Other A-list guests are staying at the Gritti Palace and the St. Regis. The couple exchanged vows at a black-tie ceremony on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore Friday afternoon, according to Italian media reports. The wedding is thought to have taken place in a vast open-air amphitheatre on the island, which sits across from Venice's iconic St Mark's Square.

Does Elio, Pixar's worst box office opener, show people only want animated film sequels?
For decades, Pixar could hardly miss with its original animated films. Advertisement Whether the subject was toys, fish or a cantankerous old man, the California-based computer animation studio churned out hit after hit. But since the Covid-19 pandemic, Walt Disney-owned Pixar and other animation studios have struggled to break through at the box office with the same kinds of original films that defined the industry. Instead, sequels such as Inside Out 2 have ruled the genre. The weekend release of Elio, an original film from Pixar about a young boy who seeks connection with aliens to make up for his loneliness on Earth, saw box office takings in North America from Thursday evening to Sunday amount to an estimated US$21 million, making it Pixar's worst opening-weekend result ever. A still from Pixar's Inside Out 2. Photo: TNS That also highlights the dilemma the animation business – and the movie industry at large – faces with original content. While audiences often say they want to see new stories, box office ticket sales show they gravitate toward sequels, reboots and other familiar fare.
