Kim Kardashian Dubs Friend Lauren Sanchez 'Legendary' In Venice Wedding Review
Kim Kardashian is still over the moon about her pal Lauren Sanchez's fairytale wedding! "The Kardashians" star publicly showered praise on her friend for pulling out all the stops to throw a beyond-fancy ceremony for herself and also give her guests a good time. Kim Kardashian and several members of her family, including Kris Jenner, were present in Venice to witness Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos say their vows. The mogul shared her version of events, high on the excitement of her elaborate Venice wedding, on her Instagram Story. It is not news that the reality star and Sanchez have maintained a close friendship for about two years. Kardashian uploaded a pic of her pal from her Vogue cover shoot and captioned it "LEGENDARY." The picture featured the new bride leaning by the window, staring into space, with her lace veil hanging down. The second slide was an image of Sanchez on the front cover of the editorial with her gorgeous wedding gown on full display. Kardashian could not hide her excitement as she wrote: "What a beautiful bride you are @laurensanchezbezos!!! We all cried watching you walk down the aisle in pure bliss!" Kardashian added in the next slide that the forest where Sanchez exchanged her vows was magical, but their love was undeniable, which was why they all enjoyed their friends' unwavering support for the day. "Forever rooting for the happiest couple! You deserve it all," the reality star concluded and tagged their individual social media handles. Kardashian and Sanchez's friendship has transitioned into more than just a Hollywood connection. According to The Daily Mail, a source revealed that the reality star adores Sanchez because she does not try to overshadow her and always compliments Kardashian at every opportunity. She also reportedly enjoys the fact that Sanchez is content in her own world and has not tried becoming a reality star, actress, or business mogul like the SKIMS founder. The 55-year-old also reportedly puts her excellent networking skills to use and is always ready to pull a string or two for her friend, another trait Kardashian is a huge fan of. "And because Lauren is engaged to Jeff Bezos, she has so very major contacts, she has a massive Rolodex, her phone contact list is off the charts. She can call just about anyone up," the source disclosed back in March. The journalist also has a very cordial friendship with Kris Jenner and never fails to run helpful ideas by her, born out of respect and mutual admiration. Another fun fact is that the ladies have just a slight difference in their height. When the SKIMS founder clocked 44 last October, Sanchez was there to celebrate her. The licensed pilot took to Instagram to tell anyone who cared to listen that Kardashian never fails to light up any room she enters. Sanchez and Kardashian have also vacationed in Europe together, having the best time on Bezos' multi-million-dollar yacht. Kardashian was spotted chilling alongside Sanchez and Bezos at Chanel's 16th Annual Pre-Oscar Awards Dinner in March. The duo reportedly chatted deep into the night, as if they had known each other for years, at the Beverly Hills Hotel, which hosted the event. Last September, Kim and Sanchez celebrated the launch of her new book together. More members of her family, including Khloé Kardashian, Kris, also graced the occasion. Aside from Kardashian and her family, Sanchez also shares close relationships with other iconic figures in the entertainment industry. According to PEOPLE, Katy Perry and her alleged former fiancé are top of their list of their closest friends. The party of four even took a trip to Croatia and Italy on Bezos' half-a-billion-dollar luxury yacht. Perry joined Sanchez, Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, and others in April for a history-making all-female space trip on Bezos' Blue Origin rocket. The "Roar" singer was also present at the journalist's bachelorette party in Paris. She is also good friends with model Brooks Nader, and they have been spotted grabbing dinner multiple times in 2024. Sanchez and Jennifer Lopez are also very good friends, and she has admitted to looking up to the singer for fashion inspiration. Nicky, Kathy, and Paris Hilton are listed among Sanchez's friends, with Kathy attending her book launch in 2024. Sanchez is equally great friends with Ivanka Trump, who attended her recent wedding in Venice. Eva Longoria, Miranda Kerr, Jessica Alba, Nina García, and Jessica Seinfeld are all new members of Mrs. Bezos' close circle. The iconic couple spared no expense in making their day feel like something out of a storybook. As reported by USA TODAY, the multi-day wedding ceremonies reportedly cost around $50 million. While the actual cost has not been disclosed, the Venice regional governor noted that an impromptu venue change increased the price from approximately $34 million to around $55 million. The Amazon founder and his wife began dating six years ago after jointly separating from their partners the same year. Bezos reportedly proposed to the journalist in 2023 during a trip on his luxury yacht. Now that they are married, they have become a blended family of nine, with seven children between them: three from Sanchez and four from Bezos' previous marriage to MacKenzie Scott. Kim Kardashian sure had a time at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding!

Brian Setzer says he can no longer play guitar due to an autoimmune disease
Brian Setzer of the Stray Cats says he has been dealing with a health issue that has affected his ability to perform on stage. In a recent social media post, the musician, 65, shared that he is no longer able to play the guitar. 'Towards the end of the last Stray Cats tour I noticed that my hands were cramping up,' Setzer wrote. 'I've since discovered that I have an auto-immune disease. I cannot play guitar. There is no pain, but it feels like I am wearing a pair of gloves when I try to play.' Selzer shared that he has 'seen some progress' with treatment at the Mayo Clinic, regaining the ability to hold a pen and tie his shoes. 'I know this sounds ridiculous, but I was at a point where I couldn't even do that,' he said. He added: 'I know I will beat this, it will just take some time.' Setzer has not shared what type of autoimmune disease he is battling. CNN has reached out to his representatives for additional comment. The news comes roughly a year after Setzer returned to touring following having to cancel his 16th Annual Brian Setzer Orchestra Tour in 2019 due to a severe case of tinnitus, an ear condition. Setzer and his group are best known for songs like 'Stray Cat Strut' and 'Rock This Town.'
