Bethenny Frankel pokes fun at Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sánchez's wedding invitation
Frankel, responsible for the viral "supermodel snack" trend on TikTok, took to her favorite social media platform to mock the invitations of Amazon founder Bezos and his now-wife Sánchez, who recently added her married name.
"Ok, I've been diplomatic about the wedding, and I happen to love Lauren Sánchez, and I also adore Amazon, so I am treading lightly," the Skinnygirl founder said in the June 30 video.
The billionaire Amazon founder and former award-winning TV journalist tied the knot Friday, June 27, in an extraordinarily lavish Venice wedding. Their walk down the aisle came after multiple days of star-studded nuptial events, but not everyone has been a fan.

"You know me, and you know I have a difficult time holding back when I have an opinion," Frankel added. Then, the former "Real Housewives of New York City" star slammed the couple's viral invitation, which allegedly leaked online.
"The invitation, you lost me and as a result, for the people, I'm going to start dating so I can eventually get married and have a wedding and make up for that invitation because that invitation — I could not stay silent," Frankel quipped.
Frankel jokingly said she was doing "the lord's work" by addressing the invitations, which feature nontraditional cartoonish illustrations and added that "it means I take a couple of hits, I get dinged up and bruised and I get into trouble, but the invitation is where you lost me."

Frankel then jokingly said she's on the market again, so she could eventually show fans what a wedding invitation is supposed to look like.
"So, I am open for business after seven months. I am starting to date for the people, and I will be having a wedding at some point," she said. "I just don't know when or where, but I can't wait for you to see my invitation."
Bethenny Frankel: Jeff Bezos was 'dork' before meeting Lauren Sánchez
Frankel also took to TikTok days earlier, telling fans that the Bezoses "both became famous when they came together." The A-list coupling has long fueled tabloid fodder from those interested in the intersection of wealth and fame.
"He was a dork before he met Lauren. He had money, but Lauren was like, 'Honey, I'll show you how to spend that money.' She bagged the elephant; she is the Meghan Markle with no rules," Frankel continued.
Those comments were made about Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry's January 2020 step back from their roles as working British royals and the "With Love" star's struggles to leave behind her regular life to pursue the job.

Actually, your presence doesn't count as a wedding gift
When Brooke Bowman Boone, 29, got married in January, it was the day of her dreams. She carried a vibrant bouquet down the aisle toward her new husband, and her guests danced under disco balls all night. People still tell her it was one of the most fun weddings they'd ever attended. Months later, though, one thing still surprises the North Carolina native: 27 people — nearly 20% of her guest list — didn't bring a gift to celebrate her big day. "It was shocking," she said. "We couldn't even receive a card? That would have been nice. It just felt like a slap in the face." For better or worse, she's not the only bride facing a modern problem: giving and receiving wedding gifts has gotten complicated. Wedding guests are confused and overwhelmed Naturally, my colleagues and I were grumbling about a busy wedding season when we landed on the topic of gifts. While some of us were shelling out $300 cash alongside registry presents, others opted for $100 bills tucked into cards. We were, to say the least, concerned. Were some of us spending too little? Were others giving over-the-top gifts? At least we gave gifts, right? A quick social-media search showed we're not alone in our confusion. On TikTok, people have questioned if there's an average or "normal" amount of cash everyone should gift at weddings these days. Others on Reddit have asked where registry items enter the equation. Unfortunately, there's no clear winning answer among average internet users. Some commenters say $50 cash is sufficient, while others say your gift — whether in the form of money or a present — should cost no less than $500. Chelsea Fagan, the founder of The Financial Diet and author of " Having People Over," told Business Insider that the uncertainty partially stems from the modern "inflation of the entire wedding process." Whereas the average wedding was once small, local, and contained to a single day, it's now bigger, more luxurious, and comprised of multiple events, from multiday bachelor trips to welcome parties. "We're really opening our pockets to an unsustainable degree for weddings," the finance and etiquette writer said. In April, Credit Karma surveyed 1,106 American Gen Zers and millennials and found that 38% took on debt to attend weddings in the past year. BI has also reported that some people have spent over $10,000 to attend multiple ceremonies and receptions in less than three years. Gifts are only a small part of that equation, but they're expensive nonetheless. In an email to BI, Lauren Kay, the executive editor of The Knot, said a 2025 study from the publication shows that the average wedding guest spends $150 on a gift. Brides say they're getting the short end of the stick Bowman Boone and her husband lived together for more than two years before getting married, so they didn't need to put an extensive registry together. Instead, they asked guests to contribute to a honeymoon fund. While the couple was thrilled to receive many cash and online deposits, Bowman Boone said their guests' efforts mattered most. "We did have people [in different financial situations], and I didn't look at any of them differently if they didn't give us a financial or physical gift," she told BI. "At the end of the day, everyone coming to my wedding was a gift in itself," she added. "I wanted everyone we invited to be there and celebrate us." Still, it stung when some family members and guests arrived without cards. Bowman Boone said it felt like her efforts as a host hadn't been reciprocated, and she couldn't understand why. Brides on social media have expressed similar disappointments after their weddings. "When we had 120 people at our wedding and we only received 12 cards and four gifts," one TikToker said in a recent viral video. Lauren Ladouceur attends weddings for a living. She's a leader in destination-wedding content creation, which involves attending weddings all over the world to capture high-quality iPhone content that couples can post on their social media pages. She told BI that no matter why some guests choose not to give gifts, it can still bother brides and grooms — sometimes even before their wedding day. "I've had couples come to me and say, 'How do I get people to donate to my honeymoon fund? How do I get people to buy from my registry? Nothing's coming in,'" Ladouceur said. "As we've moved away from tradition, which I ultimately think is a good thing, that transactional side to weddings is an unintended consequence." There's a solution, and both parties have a role Maybe unsurprisingly, every person I spoke with felt differently about what to gift, when to present it, and how much to spend. However, there seemed to be a few general rules of thumb that would be helpful to follow. Fagan said couples getting married should stay "conscientious about what they're asking of people" and consider how expensive weddings are to attend, especially if a guest is in their bridal party or attending other weddings that year. "You have every right to ask for everything you want, but your guests also have a right to say no," she said. For wedding guests, give what you can and don't worry about following popular societal rules, like matching the cost of your food at a wedding. "Your $150 is not covering your plate, just in terms of what weddings cost in any high-cost-of-living city, which I think is most cities these days," Ladouceur said. Fagan added: "For every aspect of wedding attendance, you need to be very candid about what you can and can't do, and not feel guilty for setting reasonable boundaries around your finances." If you're traveling to attend a wedding, she said it's sufficient to hand-make a gift or simply give a card — so long as your care and efforts are clear. What couples ultimately want, Ladouceur said, is "to know you're excited for them." "It's less that people remember what gift you gave, and more that they remember how you showed up for them," she added.

Revealed: Yasmin from Love Island's friend has finally shared why her posture is so good
Since Yasmin Pettet made her Love Island debut a few weeks ago, viewers haven't stopped talking about her insane posture. Some fans were even convinced she might be AI because of how straight her back is while sitting and walking. Her friend has now revealed the secret behind her impeccable posture, and it's none other than pilates - (knew I should have stuck with my classes!). The friend, called Megi, posted a Pilates studio clip of herself, Yasmin, and another friend on TikTok, alongside the caption: "I still look like the hunchback next to her tho." She added: "YasGPT secret to that perfect posture." Pilates is known for strengthening your core by targeting deep abdominal and back muscles, improving stability and support for your spine. This leads to better posture and helps your body maintain proper alignment - see Yasmin. The 24-year-old commercial banking executive has been nicknamed YasGPT by fans of the show, after a wild theory emerged that she's actually AI due to her straight posture and monotone voice. "Yasmin has such good posture, she makes me want to stand up every time! #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK," one viewer wrote on X (formerly Twitter). "Yasmin's posture is so good," another said. "Yasmin just made me sit up straight, her posture is the best I've ever seen," a third wrote. "YasGPT's posture is truly inspiring #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK," another fan wrote sharing a picture of season five's Ovie Soko looking mesmerised. The rest of the Love Island 2025 cast have also noticed, with Giorgio recently complimenting her, saying: "I think you've got incredible posture… but you're lovely as well." During Monday night's heart race challenge, Emily could be heard shouting: "Put that great posture on them," as Yasmin performed for the boys, raising both Dejon and Girogio's hearts the most. New episodes of Love Island air on ITV2 on weekdays and Sundays at 9pm.
