Kim Kardashian talks 'magical' scene from Lauren Sánchez, Jeff Bezos wedding
The "wedding of the century" has wrapped, and Kim Kardashian couldn't be more in awe.
The reality star and Skims founder gushed about the nuptials between her friend Lauren Sánchez Bezos and husband Jeff Bezos on Friday, June 27, taking to her Instagram story to congratulate the newlyweds.
"What a beautiful bride you are," Kardashian wrote, tagging Sánchez Bezos, the following day. "We all cried watching you walk down the (aisle) in pure bliss!"
Kardashian also revealed that the wedding venue, located on the small island of San Giorgio across the water from St. Mark's Square, was set in a "magical" forest. "The love we all felt in the room is what we will never forget and why we all love and support you both so much," she added. "Forever rooting for the happiest couple! You deserve it all!"
The billionaire Amazon founder and award-winning TV journalist tied the knot Friday, June 27, in an extraordinarily lavish Venice wedding, after multiple days of star-studded nuptial events. Photographers spotted A-list guests on the way to the ceremony, including Kardashian and sister Khloé Kardashian, their youngest sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner and family matriarch Kris Jenner; Oprah Winfrey and friend Gayle King; model Brooks Nader; Leonardo DiCaprio and his model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti; Bezos' fellow billionaire Bill Gates; Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner; Tom Brady; and Orlando Bloom.
Vogue revealed that of the 200 guests, around 70 are the duo's family members: "The wedding is extremely intimate," Sánchez Bezos said.
Sánchez Bezos wore a Dolce & Gabbana silhouette dress with a high neck, adorned with 180 silk chiffon-covered priest buttons paired with a tulle-and-lace veil, inspired by a similar dress that iconic Italian actress Sophia Loren wore in the 1958 film "Houseboat," according to a Vogue magazine exclusive.
The casually clad newlyweds were later spotted on a boat leaving the Aman hotel in Venice on Sunday, June 29, after a final night of partying capped the three-day wedding extravaganza. The couple smiled and waved to photographers as they exited.

Rosie O'Donnell blasts Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sánchez's Italy wedding: 'It turned my stomach'
For most weddings, well-wishes for the newlyweds are a common courtesy. But Rosie O'Donnell is bucking tradition. The outspoken comedian and TV personality, 63, blasted the high-profile wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and media entrepreneur Lauren Sánchez in a poem-style letter shared to her Substack newsletter on June 29. Bezos and Sánchez, whose lavish nuptials in Italy sparked controversy and protests, were married in a star-studded ceremony in Venice on June 27. "The BEZOS wedding, it turned my stomach. Seeing all these billionaires gathering in the gross excess of it all," 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." Winfrey was among the many famous faces in attendance at Bezos and Sánchez's wedding, which boasted an A-list guest list that included Kim and Khloé Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Bill Gates, Kris Jenner and Brooks Nader. O'Donnell also aimed at Sánchez, whom she described as Bezos' "fake fembot wife." The former talk show host's letter also included a before-and-after photo of Sánchez that appeared to criticize her use of plastic surgery. "Why would he choose her after the salt of the earth Mackenzie," O'Donnell continued, referring to Bezos' first wife, author and billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott. He "sold his soul is what it looks like from here. The devil is smiling at all his conquests." O'Donnell, who moved to Ireland in January following the 2024 election victory of President Donald Trump, also referenced the Republican president's proposed "big, beautiful bill," as well as other sociopolitical issues such as LGBTQ rights in the U.S. and the humanitarian crisis of the Israel-Hamas conflict. "Bezos was raised by a single mother. He knows exactly what he does," O'Donnell wrote. "So do all of his guests — posing for photos, forgetting themselves in their designer outfits. Ready for a Vogue cover, a spot on 'ET,' more worthless performative nonsense." She added: "We have become numb to gross excess. We have learned to tolerate it: celebrity worship, devoid of humanity." In the weeks leading up to Bezos and Sánchez's luxury wedding, several protesters — comprised of local anti-tourist activists, members of Greenpeace Italy and the U.K. group "Everyone hates Elon" (Musk) — took to the streets to air their grievances, arguing that city authorities were prioritizing tourism over resident needs, per Reuters. The celebrity nuptials similarly caused an uproar on social media, with one user describing the wedding as the face of "oligarchy." "There is something wrong here. There can be no denying," O'Donnell concluded. "Something inside has died, and I can't hide. I just can't fake it."

Gavin Adcock/Instagram 'I'm gonna go ahead and clear this up,' Adcock began. 'When I was a little kid, my mama was blasting some Beyoncé in the car. I've heard a ton of Beyoncé songs, and I actually remember her Super Bowl halftime show being pretty kick ass back in the day.'

Tallulah Willis reveals hair loss amid recovery from 'severe' anorexia
Tallulah Willis is shining a light on the physical impact of her battle with an eating disorder. In a candid Instagram post on Sunday, the actress, who is the youngest daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, shared a deeply personal reflection, detailing the hair loss she experienced during the most severe phase of her anorexia. The post included photos from her time at a recovery facility in 2022, showing her hair cropped close and visibly thinning. In the caption, Tallulah Willis opened up about how, at the time, she saw her hair loss as a twisted badge of honor, shaped by the unhealthy mindset her disorder created. "I wanna talk about when I was balding because of my severe anorexia," she wrote. "The first photos were taken in summer 2022 in Austin TX while I was at Driftwood recovery. I want to talk about how I for a long time in my life I would have seen those patches of bare skin blurring through sparse hairs as a badge of honor. 'I was sick enough to make you look' :( ." She continued, "While I was at driftwood I temporarily needed a wheelchair to walk because my leg muscles had atrophied so badly. I'm still working to build back the muscles decimated during those many many years. I had such breakable and fragile hair, so thinned I had to use thousand clippies to keep things in place. And usually they slipped off because they [had] nothing to grab into." "I chose to crop some of them because for me this truly isn't a stage to show off how I nearly starved to death (publicly!), but I think the photos serve as a teaching tool," she added. Tallulah Willis went on to detail her recovery journey with gratitude, sharing that looking through recent "after" photos brought her joy, and expressing how something as simple as feeling her hair bounce now feels empowering. "I didn't realize how comforting a big bun could feel like, how sexy it feels for your hair bounce a little when you walk," she wrote. "I didn't value myself or my health but I am of the lucky who have made it to the other side. I made my disorder public and now it only feels right to make my recovery as well." "I want to heal and hug and soothe every busy mind that's out there still hurting," she concluded her post. "Keep going I love u all 🫂." Eating disorders are serious and potentially "fatal illnesses associated with severe disturbances in eating behaviors and related thoughts and emotions," according to the National Institute of Mental Health. The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) notes that low caloric and fat intake can lead to dry skin, brittle hair, and hair loss. In response to prolonged starvation, the body may also develop fine, downy hair called lanugo to conserve warmth. Additionally, severe and extended dehydration can result in kidney failure. In the U.S., NEDA estimates that 30 million Americans will experience an eating disorder at some point in their lives. In addition to Tallulah Willis, Bruce Willis, who was diagnosed with aphasia in 2022 and frontotemporal dementia in 2023, also shares Rumer Willis and Scout Willis with Moore. He is also father to daughters Mabel Ray and Evelyn Penn, whom he shares with his wife, Emma Heming Willis.
