Bezos and Sànchez were photographed stepping off a boat in Venice on Wednesday afternoon ahead of their multi-day wedding celebration, and they later arrived at the city's Aman Hotel, People reported.
Diller, a billionaire who is the chairman and founder of the internet and media conglomerate IAC, was photographed arriving at Venice's Marco Polo Airport on Wednesday, one day after his wife, fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg, flew in.
Gamble, a talent agent known for being Kris Jenner's longtime partner, was pictured arriving in Venice and boarding a water taxi Wednesday, though Jenner was not with him.
Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, were pictured arriving at Marco Polo Airport and boarding a water taxi Tuesday.
Other attendees who touched down in Venice on Wednesday include investor Michael Kives, known for his celebrity connections and for mentoring Sam Bankman-Fried, fashion designer and rum executive Spencer Antle and Bezos' adoptive father, Miguel Bezos.

Many of the details about the wedding, including the guest list, have largely been kept under wraps. TMZ reported celebrities who received invites include Katy Perry and Gayle King, who accompanied Sànchez on Blue Origin's flight to the edge of space, as well as Oprah Winfrey, Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Jewel, Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner. Tony Gonzalez, a former NFL tight end and Sànchez's ex-boyfriend, with whom she has a son, will attend the wedding, TMZ reported. City officials said the guest list for Bezos' wedding is limited to 200 people.
Bezos and Sànchez will reportedly get married this week, though the exact dates of the multi-day celebration are unclear. The couple has booked various venues to stay flexible in the event of inclement weather or protests, which have grown in the city ahead of the wedding, CNN reported. Protests by locals, who are frustrated with overtourism and Bezos' links to President Donald Trump, forced Bezos to move a wedding party from a central Venetian nightlife area to a more isolated part of the city, Reuters reported. TMZ reported the couple is planning three themed parties, one of which is a pajama party.

Amazon MGM has found its first James Bond director: Denis Villeneuve.
I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery. I'm a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory. I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come. This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honor. Amy, David, and I are absolutely thrilled to bring him back to the screen.

James Bond Has Shaken Up a New Director: ‘Dune' Helmer Denis Villeneuve
Rumors have been circulating about who'll be the next director to put James Bond through his superspy paces. Now we know who's been hired: Denis Villeneuve, the four-time Oscar nominee behind Dune, Dune: Part Two, Blade Runner 2049, Arrival, Sicario, and more. Variety reports Villeneuve will also executive produce with his partner and frequent collaborator Tanya Lapointe. The trade has a very excited statement from Villeneuve to go with the news: 'Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery. I'm a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory. I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come. This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honor. Amy [Pascal], David [Heyman], and I are absolutely thrilled to bring him back to the screen. Thank you to Amazon MGM Studios for their trust.' Pascal and Heyman's involvement as producers on the long-awaited Amazon MGM project was confirmed in March after the creative exit of Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. With Villeneuve aboard, you know what comes next, right? Casting the new 007! (Also of interest, what does this mean for Dune Messiah, which just announced some intriguing casting earlier this week? Will Villeneuve make that first and move on to Bond after?) Let your speculation build in the comments. Want more io9 news?

Denise Austin shows off bikini body while vacationing in the south of France
Denise Austin is putting her bikini body on display as she soaks up the sun on her Mediterranean vacation. Last week, Austin took to Instagram to share photos of herself vacationing in Cassis, France, and feeling "strong, healthy, and SO HAPPY." "Feeling strong, healthy, and SO HAPPY here in gorgeous Bay Cassis!!! There's nothing like a little sunshine, fresh sea air, and a swim in the Mediterranean to lift your spirits and keep you feeling GOOD!!" the professional fitness coach wrote. "Vacation is the perfect time to stay active and take care of YOU. Whether it's a quick swim, a walk by the water, or just soaking in nature's beauty… it all adds up to a healthy body and a happy mind!! Let's keep moving, smiling, and enjoying every moment together!! xoxoxo." In the pictures, Denise was wearing a blue bikini with white trim as she posed on steps leading into the water. She paired her look with gold, dangling earrings and tortoise shell glasses as she smiled for the camera. "Vacation is the perfect time to stay active and take care of YOU." A few days before she shared the post, she uploaded two other bikini photos from her recent vacation. In these shots, Austin wore a bright red bikini as she was about to climb down steps leading to the ocean. In the second picture, Austin was holding a life ring that had the words "Les Roches Blanches" printed along the side. "We're soaking up the SUNSHINE in beautiful Cassis, France!!! WOW, the water is the most stunning shade of BLUE I've ever seen!!!" Austin captioned this post. "There's just something so magical about the Mediterranean Sea… a quick dip is all it takes to feel totally refreshed, recharged and alive! I'm savoring every second of this special trip… the salty sea air, the warm sunshine on my skin, and the joy of being surrounded by such breathtaking beauty!!! Taking time to relax, unwind, and be present - it's SO GOOD for the soul!! Sending you all a big HUG from the South of France!! xoxoxo." In January 2024, Austin gave Fox News Digital her tips for weight loss in her 60s. "Just do something that makes you feel good," Austin told Fox News Digital. "I love to walk for fitness. I love to do light weights to get strong and stay strong. I like to stretch and do yoga. Mixing it up is really fabulous. That way, you're surprising different muscle groups, and you kind of keep everything going and not plateau. "I really think anybody that enjoys what they're doing — maybe it's pickleball, tennis, any form of fitness — just move. Move as often as you can. Standing up burns more calories than sitting down." Austin, who has sold more than 24 million exercise videos and DVDs throughout her career, authored a dozen books and starred in a fitness television show, said there's one simple trick anyone could do to stay fit and lose weight. "My favorite tip, I tell everybody, is good posture. Posture tells a lot about somebody," Austin said. "If you're slouched over, first of all, your tummy has nowhere else to go but out. But if you sit up nice and tall, put your shoulders down and back and zip up those abs. "Keeping your spine healthy is so important. And then when you're standing up nice and tall, you can kind of tighten up your tummy for five seconds. That's equal to one situp. So, you could be doing these isometric exercises throughout the day that really work your muscles."
