Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez Dissed by Another Tech Company After the Amazon Founder's ‘Atrocious' Wedding Detail—No ‘Taste or Class'
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez drummed up to have the 'Wedding of the Century,' but many normal citizens have criticized the graphic design on their wedding invitation. Just a day before their wedding, their wedding invite was obtained by ABC News. 'We're excited for you to join us! We have one early request: please, no gifts,' it read on a plain white background with some Venice inspired graphics that looked like clip art. 'Instead, we're making contributions in your honor and with gratitude to you for making the journey to celebrate with us in Venice.' More from StyleCaster Here's if Lauren Sanchez's Ex-Husband 'Knew' of Her Alleged Affair With Jeff Bezos & What He Thinks of the Amazon Founder Now The Real Reason Trump Didn't Attend Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez's Wedding After the Amazon Founder's Complicated History With the President The invite also added that they would not be accepting any gifts, but guests were invited to donate to a charity. 'Donations on your behalf are being made to the UNESCO Venice Office to safeguard the city's irreplaceable cultural heritage, to CORILA to restore the lagoon habitats that protect Venice's future, and to Venice International University to support research and education for sustainable solutions,' it couple concluded their invite. 'This magical place has gifted us unforgettable memories. Our hope is that through these efforts and by you joining us, Venice will continue to inspire wonder for generations to come.' Right when the invite was leaked, people took to social media to shade the Amazon billionaire and former journalist for the design. 'was the invitation made in microsoft paint? 😭😭,' one person wrote on X. 'imagine being a multi multi billionaire and this is the design of your wedding invite. something a 15 year-old made on canva,' another joked. 'That invite is atrocious. Obviously, money can't buy taste or class,' one person criticized. Many people also joked that they would be giving an Amazon gift card in lieu of a gift. Adobe Express, the graphic design app made by the same company that makes Photoshop, also gave the wedding card new life with a new redesign that included a background of the Italian city and script typography. 'I know you said no gifts, but… it really only took us a couple minutes. XOXO, Adobe Express,' they captioned the post. The general consensus from the people in the comments was that their version was a 'masterpiece' compared to the original. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding has garnered a lot of controversy by Venetian residents and global citizens. 'This wedding is causing much friction, especially because it is happening at a time when Venice, already invaded by uncontrolled tourism, is completely worn out,' Giovanni Andrea Martini, a councillor for the opposition told The Guardian. The cost of the wedding was expected to cost 40 million to 48 million euros ($47 million to $56 million), according to Luca Zaia, president of the Veneto region. The A-List wedding guests, which included the likes of Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, and Orlando Bloom, stayed at the St Regis near St Mark's Square, which can rack up a room for more than 4,000 euros.

On the mend. David Beckham fans may have been a tad concerned Friday when his wife Victoria posted a reel of him in a hospital bed. The ex-Spice Girl's caption: 'Get well, daddy, with no explanation. Turns out what landed him there wasn't that serious: Beckham underwent a procedure to fix an old injury. Surgeons had to remove a screw that had been placed in the retired soccer star's right arm after a fall that broke his wrist during a game between England and South Africa back in 2003, The Sun reports. The British outlet posted a clip of the painful run-in with Thabang Molefe four minutes into the second half. The screw was apparently intended to dissolve over time, but did not, causing the father of four considerable discomfort through the years. In a followup video, Victoria, 51, posted a video of her 50-year-old hubby tending to their garden at their Costwolds compound in the U.K., as per People magazine. 'Overperforming on the cucumber front, Sir David!!!' read the designer's text over screen, referring to the knight to be's impending title.

EYES OF WAKANDA Teaser Promises Hidden Histories and an Interesting New MCU Story — GeekTyrant
Marvel has released a new teaser for Eyes of Wakanda , and it makes one thing clear… there's a lot more to Wakanda's legacy than we've seen so far. The animated series dives deep into Wakandan history. Each episode plays out as its own standalone story, spanning different eras and corners of the world, as elite Wakandan warriors retrieve stolen Vibranium from enemies who have no idea what they're messing with. It's a spiritual cousin to Black Panther, but with a global, time-hopping twist. Eyes of Wakanda 'follows the adventures of brave Wakandan warriors throughout history. In this globe-trotting adventure, the heroes must carry out dangerous missions to retrieve Vibranium artifacts from the enemies of Wakanda. They are the Hatut Zaraze, and this is their story.' The teaser leans into mystery and momentum, showing glimpses of new characters, intense battles, and locations far from the borders of Wakanda. A voiceover teases that 'many secrets' will be uncovered, which sets the tone for something more expansive and mythic than fans may be expecting. Ryan Coogler, the creative force behind Black Panther and Wakanda Forever , is back in the mix as executive producer, bringing along key collaborators like Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Zinzi Coogler, and Sev Ohanian. Head of streaming, television, and animation for Marvel Studios, Brad Winderbaum shared some insight on the series, syaing: ' Eyes of Wakanda , more than any other show, we're doing in animation, ties directly into the MCU. This is a story about Wakandan history ... It's both about the history of Wakanda, but it also expands into the greater MCU at different time periods. So if you're a fan of the movies, I think this show's going to be a real treat.' The voice cast includes an impressive mix of talent: Winnie Harlow, Cress Williams, Patricia Belcher, Anika Noni Rose, and Steve Toussaint, among others. With Eyes of Wakanda , Marvel is looking to explore untold history, confront stolen legacies, and expand its world in a fresh, animated direction. The series is set to debut on Disney+ on August 27, 2025.
