Sydney Sweeney leaves Bezos wedding after partying with Tom Brady and Orlando Bloom
Sydney Sweeney was spotted departing out of Venice after attending the Bezos wedding in Italy on Sunday. After a weekend full of festivities celebrating the nuptials of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, the 27-year-old actress looked weary as her team helped her get into a water taxi to leave her hotel. Over the weekend, the Euphoria star was romantically linked to the newly single Orlando Bloom following his split from Katy Perry and was also rumored to be getting close to Tom Brady. This comes just months after Sweeney ended her engagement to her now-ex Jonathan Davino after seven years together and romance rumors involving multiple leading men she worked with. For her travel day, the Anyone But You star wore bridal white as she paired a white lace button-down blouse with a matching midi skirt for her short European getaway. She carried a baby blue purse in her hand and had multiple men assisting her as she got into the boat. After a long weekend of wedding celebrations and soirées, she sported a pair of oversize, dark sunglasses to hide her eyes. She also tried to hide her face behind her blonde curls and kept her head down as she left her hotel. Over the weekend, Sweeney seemingly garnered the most attention besides the billionaire bride and groom. Rumors have been alight Sweeney and a certain NFL legend may have struck up a romance at the Bezos' wedding. An insider told the Daily Mail that Sweeney was the 'most sought after person' during the festivities. 'Sydney apparently is the most sought-after person to be around at the Bezos wedding,' the insider shared. 'Everyone wants to talk to her and every guy that has been in her presence has talked about how stunning she is in real life.' Brady in particular had his sights on Sweeney, with TMZ reporting that he was ' chatting up' the Euphoria star at the hotel bar over the course of the multi-day lavish wedding extravaganza. Now another insider has alleged that the two of them danced together during the party, which is said to have lasted until 2 a.m. has not received a response to its request for comment from reps for both Brady and Sweeney. A source claimed Brady 'danced with everyone' at the wedding — not just Sweeney but also model Brooks Nader, whom he was briefly linked to last year. The next day, Brady and Sweeney were seen enjoying a walk along the Venetian streets with newly-single Orlando Bloom, who attended the wedding solo under a cloud of reports that he and his fiancée Katy Perry have split. Sweeney, who confirmed her split from fiancé Jonathan Davino earlier this year, allegedly wowed guests with her 'down to Earth' and 'fun' personality, in addition to her stunning looks. An insider told the Daily Mail that Sweeney was the 'most sought after person' during the festivities. 'Everyone wants to talk to her and every guy that has been in her presence has talked about how stunning she is in real life,' the insider shared Brady has been spotted hanging out with Bloom, as well as Usher and Leonardo DiCaprio since he arrived in Venice, Italy for the nuptials. Described as the 'wedding of a century,' the 61-year-old Bezos and the former journalist, 55, have welcomed nearly 200 VIPs to Venice for three days of lavish celebrations. Details surrounding Sydney's friendship with the bride and groom remain unclear and naturally, many perplexed fans were left pondering her inclusion in the celebrations. Not many questioned Brady's involvement at the wedding. Oprah Winfrey, Ivanka Trump, Usher, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and Kris Jenner were among the other stars who have traveled to Italian city to watch the couple exchange vows — two years after Bezos asked Sanchez to marry him on his $500 million superyacht.

Samie Elishi shows ex Sam Thompson what he's missing as she shows off amazing figure in bikini
LOVE Island beauty Samie Elishi showed ex boyfriend Sam Thompson just what he was missing as she stripped to a bikini for a boat day. The All Stars alum, who we exclusively revealed had split with the Made In Chelsea star last week, looked sensational on her girls trip to Ibiza. 6 6 6 Sam, 32, and Samie, 25, confirmed they were dating in early May when they were spotted sharing a steamy kiss on a night out. Yet just weeks later they decided they were best as mates. The ITV2 show star has now headed for a girls-only trip to the White Isle, flashing her washboard abs in her swim two-piece. She chose a blue and yellow patterned halterneck, with matching bottoms tied high on the hip. The swimwear flattered her glowing tan and Samie - who has appeared on both Love Island 's main run and All Stars spin-off - styled her brunette hair into natural beachy waves. She tied it in a half up-do, while accessorising with bold gold earrings and natural make-up. The former senior estate agent coordinator perched inside the boat, holding a drink in one hand and her sunglasses in the other, as she posed one Instagram snap. After enjoying a sip of the red cocktail, Samie posted a video which showed her dancing on-board with her mates. In her caption, she joked about spending time away from her phone and put: "Why we haven't replied." A fan then wrote: "Gorgeous." Another added: "The best girls having the best time!!!" PARTING WAYS Sam was first pictured snogging Samie and holding her face as they smooched outside Olivia Attwood's 34th birthday bash. They were also snapped walking arm in arm afterwards and he tenderly placed a hand on her waist. While the pair didn't share their relationship on social media, Sam did praise Samie on his podcast, Staying Relevant with pal Pete Wicks. Love Island All Stars Samie Elishi and Grace Jackson Feud LOVE Island's Samie Elishi and Grace Jackson locked horns in the All Stars villa - yet what's the situation? Samie Elishi told how she had confronted Grace Jackson at The BRITs after the ITV2 alum claimed she was the "snakiest" in the villa. It came after the pair had tried to avoid each other when partying with the same friends. Samie 's arrival in the Love Island spin-off this year sparked issues between Grace and partner Luca Bish, 25. Samie entered the ITV2 compound and proceeded to blow up the villa's strongest couple as she admitted to fancying Brighton lad Luca, before whisking him off on a date. Stirring up the drama further after her arrival, Samie promptly referred to the secret DMs she shared with Luca in the real world. Yet the pair felt no connection and Samie was swiftly dumped from the villa days later. Grace was then said to have revealed her "true feelings" about Samie as she appeared to smirk during her eviction. Grilled by his best mate, he was relatively tight-lipped but said: "What I will say though, really awesome chick. You met her that night. Really, really lovely. Super down to earth, super nice, beautiful, obviously." Samie, meanwhile, opened up about the romance last month during an appearance on the We Talk To The Dead podcast. Last week, The Sun exclusively revealed the pair had decided to go their separate ways weeks after first being spotted together on a cosy date. A source close to the former couple said: "It was a mutual thing and there is no bad blood between them. "They both just have really busy schedules, particularly Sam who has been non-stop recently, and it was really hard to make it work. They're still good mates. "It's a shame but sometimes things just don't work out." Hints of trouble between the pair were first raised after Sam was cagey when quizzed about Samie while promoting his Soccer Aid challenge for Unicef earlier this month. Asked if she would be there to support him, Sam told MailOnline: "I feel like… this is so much more than who I'm dating or hooking up with. "And I feel like it would take away from what it is going on. You know what I mean?" Sam began dating Samie after splitting with Zara McDermott late last year. 6 6

Billionaire Jeff Bezos marries Lauren Sanchez in lavish Venice ceremony
The sky itself is no limit for billionaire Jeff Bezos and fiancee Lauren Sanchez, who have travelled into space, and expectations were about as high ahead of their wedding in Venice on Friday. One of the world's most enchanting cities as a backdrop? Check. Star-studded guest list and tabloid buzz? Of course. Local flavour? You bet. And then, time to tie the knot. The couple held their wedding ceremony Friday night, and Sanchez posted to Instagram a photo of herself beaming in a white gown as she stood alongside a tuxedo-clad Bezos, the world's fourth-richest man. It was the second day of events spread across the Italian lagoon city, which added complexity to what would have been a massive logistical undertaking even on dry land. Dozens of private jets had flocked to Venice's airport, and yachts pulled into the city's famed waterways. Athletes, celebrities, influencers and business leaders converged to revel in extravagance that was as much a testament to the couple's love as to their extraordinary wealth. The heady hoopla recalled the 2014 wedding in Venice of actor George Clooney to human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin, when adoring crowds lined the canals and hundreds of well-wishers gathered outside City Hall. Not so for these nuptials, which became a lightning rod for small, colourful protests. But any desire to dampen the prevailing fever pitch hadn't materialised as of Friday. Instead, the glitterati were partying and the paparazzi were jostling for glimpses of the gilded gala. On Friday afternoon, Sanchez emerged from her hotel wearing a silk scarf on her head and blew a kiss to journalists before stepping into her water taxi. It carried her through the canals to San Giorgio island, across the lagoon basin from St Mark's Square, where the couple held their ceremony on Friday night. Bezos followed two hours later. Then, in a string of water taxis, came their illustrious guests — Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Ivanka Trump, Tom Brady, Bill Gates, Queen Rania of Jordan, Leonardo DiCaprio and more. PA Media Kim and Khloe Kardashian leave a hotel ahead of the wedding celebrations of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez (Luigi Costantini/AP). Paparazzi trailed on their own boats, trying to capture them all on camera. There are some who say these two shouldn't have been married in this city. They characterise the wedding as a decadent display of wealth in a world with growing inequality, and argue it's a shining example of tourism taking precedence over residents' needs, particularly affordable housing and essential services. Venice is also one of the cities most vulnerable to rising sea levels from climate change. Stella Faye, a researcher at a university in Venice, said: 'Venice is not just a pretty picture, a pretty postcard to please the needs and wants of the elite or of mass tourists, but it is an alive city, made of people who want to actually live there.' About a dozen Venetian organisations — including housing advocates, anti-cruise ship campaigners and university groups — are protesting under the banner 'No Space for Bezos,' a play on words referring to his space exploration company Blue Origin and the bride's recent space flight. PA Media Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump attended the wedding (Antonio Calanni/AP). Greenpeace unfurled a banner in St Mark's Square denouncing Bezos for paying insufficient taxes. Activists floated a bald-headed Bezos-inspired mannequin down Venice's Grand Canal atop an Amazon delivery box, its hands clenching fake cash. Authorities — from Venice's mayor to the nation's tourism minister — have dismissed the outcry, saying it ignores the visibility and economic boost the wedding has brought. 'There will be photos everywhere, social media will go wild over the bride's dress, over the ceremony,' Italy's tourism minister, Daniela Santanche, told the AP. 'All of this translates into a massive free publicity campaign. In fact, because they will spend a lot of money, they will enrich Venice — our shopkeepers, artisans, restaurateurs and hotels. So it's a great opportunity both for spending and for promoting Italy in the world.' As Amazon's chief executive, Bezos usually avoided the limelight, frequently delegating announcements and business updates to his executives. Today, he has a net worth of 234 billion dollars, according to Forbes. In 2019, he announced he was divorcing his first wife, MacKenzie Scott, just before the National Enquirer published a story about an affair with Sanchez, a former TV news anchor. Sanchez filed for divorce the day after Bezos's divorce was finalised. PA Media Protests included a mannequin, resembling Jeff Bezos, being floated in a canal in Venice (Click News via AP). He stepped down as chief executive of Amazon in 2021, saying he wished to spend more time on side projects, including Blue Origin; The Washington Post, which he owns; and his philanthropic initiatives. Sitting beside Sanchez during an interview with CNN in 2022, he announced plans to give away the majority of his wealth during his lifetime. Last week, a Venetian environmental research association issued a statement saying Bezos's Earth Fund was supporting its work with an 'important donation'. Corila, which seeks protection of the Venetian lagoon system, said contact began in April, well before any protests.
