Charlize Theron takes dig at Bezos wedding while Mia Farrow celebrates his charitable ex-wife
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos became husband and wife over the weekend with a host of celebrity friends witnessing their vows in Venice, Italy.
The Amazon billionaire and former journalist tied the knot in grand fashion, hosting a whirlwind three-day affair complete with a lavish welcome party, wedding and black-tie ceremony on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore.
While the newlyweds celebrated overseas with their friends and family, Hollywood stars at home hit back at the nuptials in subtle – and not-so-subtle – ways.
Charlize Theron took aim at the Bezos event on Saturday while hosting the fifth annual Block Party for her Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project on the Universal Studios backlot.
Before diving into immigration policy issues, the Oscar-winner slammed the Bezos bash and its attendees.
"I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding," Theron told the crowd, per The Hollywood Reporter. "But that's OK because they suck, and we're cool."
Mia Farrow shared an image of Jeff's ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott, on Jeff's wedding day, and praised the billionaire for her charitable efforts.
"How awesome is MacKenzie Scott! (Jeff Bezos first wife & mother of his 4 children)," Farrow captioned a post featuring Scott.
"As of mid-December 2024, she had given a total of $19.3 billion to over 1600 charitable organizations."
More than 20,000 people "liked" Farrow's post, including a handful of high-profile stars.
"Truly incredible," Olivia Munn wrote.
Rosanna Arquette commented, "She's a force of humanity and good."
Scott, 55, and Jeff, 61, met in 1992 as coworkers and married one year later. The couple announced their separation in January 2019 after 25 years of marriage.
"If we had known we would separate after 25 years, we would do it all again," they wrote in a Jan. 9, 2019, post on X (then Twitter). "We've had such a great life together as a married couple, and we also see wonderful futures ahead as parents, friends, partners in ventures and projects, and as individuals pursuing ventures and adventures."
Jeff didn't have a prenup with Scott, and the separation left her with a 4% stake in the online shopping giant, or around $36 billion at the time. The former couple have four children together.
When the marriage ended, they shared transparent posts about their settlement online.
"Grateful to have finished the process of dissolving my marriage with Jeff with support from each other and everyone who reached out to us in kindness, and looking forward to next phase as co-parents and friends," Scott wrote.
"Happy to be giving him all of my interests in the Washington Post, Blue Origin, and 75 [percent] of our Amazon stock plus voting control of my shares to support his continued contributions with the teams of these incredible companies. Excited about my own plans. Grateful for the past as I look forward to what comes next."
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos were married Friday, June 27, on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore with a number of celebrities invited to attend their black-tie ceremony.
Orlando Bloom, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Tom Brady and Sydney Sweeney were just a few of the A-listers in town for the Amazon founder's wedding.

Vin Diesel Vows To Bring Back LA Street Racing in Fast and Furious Finale
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In what could come as a pleasant surprise to racing fans and petrolheads, Hollywood star Vin Diesel has confirmed that the Fast and Furious finale will hit theaters in April 2027, delivering three fan-requested elements, including the long-awaited return of street racing to the streets of Los Angeles. Diesel has been synonymous with Fast and Furious, given his role as Dominic Toretto in the series that began as a street racing movie in 2001. Another popular and much-loved face of Fast and Furious alongside Diesel was Paul Walker, who passed away in a tragic car accident in 2013. Now, Diesel has confirmed that Fast and Furious will end the long journey classically by satisfying the three wishes that fans made. While the first two are the return to Los Angeles and the revival of street racing, the last one was most surprising. Vin Diesel attends the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on March 02, 2025 in Beverly Hills, California.

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic Speaking at 'FuelFest,' a car culture festival co-founded by Walker's brother, Cody, Diesel spoke to a large audience and opened up on the conditions he put to Universal Studios to produce the final chapter of Fast and Furious. He said: "It's been a long journey. As you all know, we have been working very hard to bring you the finale. "This culture, our franchise, is only made possible because of the love that you all have for this culture called the car culture. So I just wanted to say — first, let me just say I'm so proud of Tyrese and Cody for what they've been doing here at Fuel Fest. Give it up for them, please. "Just yesterday I was with Universal Studios — does anyone know Universal Studios? The studio said to me, 'Vin, can we please have the finale of Fast and Furious April 2027?' "I said, 'Under three conditions — under three conditions. Because I've been listening to my fan base. I have been listening to all of you who have been asking for three things. "The first is to bring the franchise back to LA. Fast and Furious is coming back to LA! "The second thing was to return to the car culture — to the street racing. "Oh, this is good. You want to know what the third thing was? Does anybody want to know what the third thing was? "The third third thing was reuniting Dom and Brian O'Connor. That is what you're going to get in the finale. "Love you." Walker passed away while filming for Fast and Furious 7. The remainder of his role was completed with the help of CGI and his brothers Cody and Caleb. Similar techniques could likely be used for Fast and Furious 11.

Single woman asks for Tim Allen 'Home Improvement' grunts over dating app — and the responses are hilarious: ‘This is better than dating'
The extremes some men will go to. As wild as today's digital dating world is — sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. One woman posted on her dating app profile asking potential suitors to give her their best impersonation of actor Tim Allen's grunts from the show 'Home Improvement.' Advertisement The popular sitcom ran for eight seasons in the early 1990s. Allen's character, Tim 'The Tool Man' Taylor, was known for expressing himself through a very specific grunt sound. Allen's character had a famous grunt — that is clearly still being thought about today. Touchstone Television/courtesy Everett Collection Kathenn (@kathenn25) first shared a video on TikTok, putting many desperate eligible bachelors on blast who responded to her Hinge prompt that read: 'I get along best with people who can do the Tim Allen 'awrhoo' impression. Let me see what you got,' earlier this year. Advertisement To give context to viewers, she wrote in overlay text on her video: 'My version of the 4B movement includes making men on Hinge do an impression of Tim Allen before they're allowed to speak to me.' She played each hilarious impression one by one — and that was only the beginning. The responses to this prompt are hilarious. TikTok / @kathenn25 Advertisement Several other videos of grunting impressions followed, and the most recent one, captioned: 'They're baaaaaaaack (they never left they literally do not stop coming in),' has gone viral — garnering almost 500,000 views. Over 500 people commented on the humorous clip. One curious person asked: 'Is this a kink thing?' Advertisement Another person couldn't believe how well some of the contenders sounded like Allen: 'i refuse to believe that the first one was not sampled directly from the tv show.' One honest commenter gave a bit of an explanation as to why Kathenn is getting a ton of action on this prompt: 'I have no idea why but the tim Allen grunt is the REAL Roman empire for men. I've been doing this shit since I was a kid.' Someone else thought the journey was better than the destination in this situation: 'This is better than dating.' 'Absolute cinema,' another one chimed in. The video even made its way to X (formerly Twitter) where one user shared the video, writing, 'I'm absolutely losing it.' The Tweet received over 1 million views. In a YouTube short clip while on stage at the famous Laugh Factory comedy club, Allen explained that the inspiration for his famous grunt came from a time he was performing a show to a predominantly male audience. While Allen was trying to do his bits on stage, the men were all grunting as they ate their meal, barely paying attention to the comedian. 'I couldn't get their attention. All I was doing on stage, I hear men [grunting]. So I started doing that [grunting]. And these men actually went, 'Huh?' and a career was built,' Allen jokingly explained.
