Private jets and power players: Guests arrive for Bezos and Sánchez wedding
US President Donald Trump's eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, and her husband, real estate heir Jared Kushner, were among the first public arrivals in Venice this week. The two were snapped boarding a water taxi on Tuesday evening (Venetian time).
One day later, Ivanka Trump shared a series of sightseeing photos to Instagram alongside the caption, 'Da Venezia, con amore'. It's believed her brother-in-law Joshua Kushner and his wife, model Karlie Kloss, will also join them.
Bezos' second wedding would not be the first billionaire nuptials the president's daughter has attended. In March 2024, she was among many celebrity guests flown to India to celebrate the wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. Ambani is the youngest son of Asia's richest man. Trump has been a close friend of Sánchez's for years, and has often been seen at events with the journalist and their mutual friend Kim Kardashian.
The Kardashians
Also at the Ambani wedding was Kardashian, whose Gulfstream G650ER was flying in to Venice's Marco Polo Airport from Los Angeles, according to flight documents seen by Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.

Corey Gamble, the partner of Kardashian's mother, Kris Jenner, was snapped in Venice on Tuesday. Kardashian's sister Kylie Jenner is believed to be flying in from Budapest.
The magnates
Flight documents cited by American, British and European media outlets suggest Bill Gates is flying in from Brussels, followed closely by Rupert Murdoch's favoured heir, Lachlan Murdoch, from London. Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones is flying from Tanzania, with film producer and record executive David Geffen travelling from Valencia, Spain.
Belgian fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg was also snapped in Venice on Tuesday evening, and it's believed Meta mastermind Mark Zuckerberg will be joining the celebrations. The jury, however, is still out on Bezos' fellow space enthusiast Elon Musk, with whom he had a 20-year-long public rivalry that may or may not be over.
The space cadets
Speaking of space, it's believed part-time astronaut Gayle King will be in the room celebrating Sánchez's nuptials following their joint zero-gravity frolic earlier this year. King's best friend, Oprah Winfrey, according to flight documents, is flying to Venice from New York.
If Katy Perry, who was also aboard the Blue Origin flight in April, somehow makes it from Adelaide to Venice and back in the one-day break between her four Lifetimes Tour shows this weekend, that would be a surprise to TMZ, which has been reporting Perry has split from long-time fiance Orlando Bloom – and that Bloom is 'making his debut as a single man during the festivities' and is 'gonna hit the dance floor hard'.
Or, perhaps, 'sneak away with Leonardo DiCaprio for some bar crawling'. If Perry and Bloom have split, however, they have yet to confirm it.
Hollywood royalty
DiCaprio is one of many famous faces who attended Bezos and Sánchez's August 2023 engagement party, which also counted actors Andrew Garfield, Tobey Maguire and Australia's own Deborra-Lee Furness among the guests. Actress Eva Longoria, a long-time friend of Sánchez, is another famous face who has been spotted at wedding-related events, most recently in Paris in May for Sánchez's bachelorette weekend.
Rumours are also swirling around musicians Lady Gaga, Mick Jagger and Elton John, who are speculated to be performing at the festivities if not attending as guests.

David Beckham recovering at home after wrist operation
David Beckham is at home and recovering after his recent hospitalisation. The 50-year-old football star recently underwent surgery to repair a broken wrist he suffered more than 20 years ago while playing a friendly for England against South Africa. He was forced to have surgery this week after an X-ray showed a screw that was used to patch up the problem at the time had embedded in his forearm after it did not dissolve properly. However, Beckham is recovering well and has been gardening with his wife Victoria. She shared a video of him checking out the cucumber haul from their garden and wrote: "Overperforming on the cucumber front Sir David." In the video, Beckham is casually dressed, with his injured arm wrapped up and encased in a sling. A source previously told The Sun newspaper of Beckham's injury: "David has been in pain for years but thought nothing of it. "He just kept going until, in recent months, it became quite unbearable. "A routine scan showed that the pin which was meant to have dissolved, hadn't - so he was booked in to finally resolve the issue all these years later. "Victoria was at his bedside post op and all went well. He's in great spirits." Beckham was knighted in King Charles' Birthday Honours earlier in June for his services to sport and charity, and declared himself as "incredibly humbled" by the accolade. Beckham - who has children Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and 13-year-old Harper Seven with Victoria - said: "Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British, I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour. "To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career, and literally a boyhood dream come true."

Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet split
Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet have split. The 49-year-old actor and the 52-year-old film director have announced they are separating with "common accord" and "mutual goodwill" after 18 years together. They announced the split in a statement to the Agence France-Presse news agency, saying they were making the announcement in order "to avoid all speculation, rumours and risky interpretations". They did not reveal a reason for the split. The pair starred opposite each other in 2003's Love Me If You Dare and they began dating in 2007. In 2011 they welcomed their first child, a son named Marcel and in 2017, they had a baby girl. While pregnant with her daughter, Cotillard was forced to deny speculation of a romance with her Allied co-star Brad Pitt amid his split from Angelina Jolie. Cotillard wrote on Instagram at the time: "This is going to be my first and only reaction to the whirlwind news that broke 24 hours ago and that I was swept up into. I am not used to commenting on things like this nor taking them seriously but as this situation is spiralling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up." "Firstly, many years ago, I met the man of my life, father of our son and of the baby we are expecting. He is my love, my best friend, the only one that I need. "I do very much wish that Angelina and Brad, both whom I deeply respect, will find peace in this very tumultuous moment." Canet also called out "the haters" who spread the "stupid and unfounded accusations". Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet have split.

Kneecap to play at Glastonbury amid calls to ban them
Irish rap trio Kneecap are to perform at the Glastonbury Festival after a number of British politicians called for them to be banned from the event. It comes after one of the band's members, Liam Og O hAnnaidh, 27, was charged with allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah, while saying "up Hamas, up Hezbollah" at a gig in November 2024. Last week the rapper, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with band mates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh at a London court in Free Mo Chara T-shirts. He was released on unconditional bail until the next hearing in August. UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said it would not be "appropriate" for them to perform in the slot, which is due to go ahead on the Somerset festival's West Holts Stage on Saturday afternoon. Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch also said the BBC "should not be showing" the trio's set in a post on social media last week. Kneecap are not listed as one of the acts being shown live by the broadcaster. Before the group's set, an Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson told the PA news agency: "Ticket-holders can once again expect to see uniformed officers on site at Glastonbury Festival 24/7 throughout the festival as part of our extensive policing operation ensuring it is safe for everyone attending, as well as those who live nearby." Neil Young, best known for songs such as Rockin' In The Free World, Like A Hurricane and Cinnamon Girl, will headline the festival's Pyramid Stage on Saturday night with his band the Chrome Hearts. The BBC confirmed on Thursday that Young's set would not be broadcast live from the festival in Somerset, England, "at the artist's request". Another act expected to draw a big crowd is Brat star Charli XCX, who will headline the Other Stage around the same time Young and Grammy Award-winning rapper Doechii will also perform. The 1975 headlined the festival's Pyramid Stage on Friday night, with the performance seeing singer Matty Healy joke he was his generation's "best songwriter". Friday also saw a performance from Scottish music star Lewis Capaldi who told the Glastonbury crowds "I'm back baby" as he played a surprise set, two years after a performance at the festival during which he struggled to manage his Tourette syndrome symptoms. Earlier on Friday, alternative pop star Lorde surprised fans with a secret set at Worthy Farm, performing her latest album Virgin, which was released on Friday, in full. Scottish indie rockers Franz Ferdinand brought out former Doctor Who actor Peter Capaldi during their Other Stage set while they were playing Take Me Out, one of their best-known songs. Celebrities seen at the festival include singer Harry Styles, Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne and Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn.
