Sebastian Maniscalco roasts Jeff Bezos' transformation from 'complete nerd' to 'shredded'
Sebastian Maniscalco has jokes for days. During a stand-up routine at Cannes Lions 2025, the 51-year-old comedian poked fun at Jeff Bezos' "shredded" physique ahead of the Amazon founder's wedding to fiancée Lauren Sánchez. "I see [Jeff] Bezos when he came out about 30 years ago. This guy was a nerd, a complete nerd," Maniscalco told the crowd - which included stars such as Patrick Schwarzenegger, Paris Hilton, "Queer Eye" star Antoni Porowski and Ludacris - per Page Six. Maniscalco went on to praise Bezos, dubbing him a "genius." "You see what this guy looks like [now]? That's beautiful. That's gorgeous. That's 400 billion bucks… shredded on his yacht in the Mediterranean," he added. "You ever get a huge [Amazon] box like, 'Oh, my God, what did we order?' It's coming in this big box. I opened it up. One dental floss at the bottom of the box with air bags. This Bezos is a genius." Last month, Bezos and Sánchez packed on the PDA while soaking up the sun ahead of their wedding later this month. In photos obtained by Fox News Digital, the 61-year-old Amazon founder was spotted getting handsy with the 55-year-old former entertainment journalist as the couple spent a day at sea with friends on Bezos' $500 million sailing yacht, which was anchored off the coast of Cannes, France. Bezos was seen playfully smacking and patting his bride-to-be on her backside while she tanned on a lounge chair next to a friend who smiled at the couple. Sánchez showed off her toned figure in a leopard-print thong string bikini and a straw bucket hat while Bezos wore a navy blue T-shirt with blue and white patterned swim trunks. In several photos, Bezos was seen kneeling on Sánchez's lounge chair as he bent over to kiss and cuddle her. In other snaps, the billionaire was spotted rubbing Sánchez's arms and nuzzling her neck. Sánchez was photographed sitting up on her knees as she raised her fist in the air and bent over to grab her hat from a nearby table. The pair were later spotted side by side as they enjoyed lunch with their friends at a table on one of the yacht's decks. According to Architectural Digest, Bezos first commissioned his yacht, which he named Koru, in 2018, and it was delivered to the Blue Origin founder in 2023. At 417 feet long, Koru is the largest sailing yacht in the world, according to the outlet. It may be the most extravagant wedding of the year, but not everyone is looking forward to the Bezos and Sanchez's upcoming nuptials in Venice, Italy. Last week, Venetians gathered together to protest the couple's upcoming wedding festivities over fears of disruptions in a city that is already impacted by mass tourism. Though most of the details surrounding the wedding are unknown, one Venice citizen said, "we have our moles," per The New York Times. Federica Toninello, a protest organizer, said that one of the venues could be The Misericordia, a famed event hall. The Bezos-Sánchez wedding is reportedly being held later this month. There is expected to be a star-studded guest list, with friends of the couple making appearances. Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, Ivanka Trump and Oprah Winfrey are said to be attending, per Page Six. Bezos and Sánchez reportedly met in the mid-2010s but didn't go public with their relationship until 2019 – once Sanchez separated from her then-husband, Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell, and Bezos divorced Mackenzie Scott. Bezos proposed to Sánchez while aboard his $500 million yacht, Koru, in May 2023, she told Vogue in November of that year. W Magazine reported that Sanchez's 30-carat engagement ring is estimated to be worth between $3 million and $5 million. The outlet reported that Sanchez had two engagement parties, one in Beverly Hills and another in Positano, Italy.

6 Months After the Pelicot Trial, a Staging Brings Insight and Despair
It was a case that shook France. Last December, the husband of Gisèle Pelicot was convicted of drugging and assaulting her for over a decade, and for inviting dozens of men to rape her while she was unconscious. Now, just six months later, the trial has already inspired a work of theater — in Vienna, as part of the city's prestigious Festwochen festival. On Wednesday, the Swiss director Milo Rau, who has led the event since 2023, and the French dramaturg Servane Dècle presented 'The Pelicot Trial,' a seven-hour reading of excerpts from the French legal proceedings and of interviews and commentary related to the case. It was a long night at the Church of St. Elisabeth, a red brick Roman Catholic church in a southern district of Vienna. The sun was setting when the audience went in at 9 p.m., filling the pews to capacity. When the final words were spoken, at around 4:15 a.m., sunrise was near, and only around 30 people remained. In a joint interview before the performance, Rau and Dècle said the wide range of material involved, with sections delving into history, philosophy and biology, was intended to dispel any notion that Pelicot's story was an isolated event. 'It's an example of patriarchal violence,' Rau said. 'The more we dive into it, the more we see that it's the tip of the iceberg.' Rau has a long history of bringing trials to the stage. In 'The Last Days of the Ceausescus,' Rau reenacted the 1989 legal proceedings against the Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife. In 'The Congo Tribunal' and 'The Moscow Trials,' he created mock criminal courts to analyze real political events. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Miley Cyrus Joins Beyoncé for Live Debut of ‘II Most Wanted' During ‘Cowboy Carter' Tour in Paris
Miley Cyrus became the first official guest performer to take the stage during Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' tour, appearing on Thursday at Paris' Stade de France to give the live debut of their Grammy-winning duet 'II Most Wanted.' Rumors had been circulating earlier in the day that Cyrus, who was in Paris to perform for Spotify's Billions Club Live, had been spotted soundchecking with Beyoncé, who was gearing up for the first of three performances in France. Cyrus took the stage deep into the set to perform 'II Most Wanted' for the first time, in turn becoming the ongoing tour's first guest.

The song was released as the third single from the set, continuing on to win the Grammy for best country duo/group performance. Cyrus previously discussed that she had initially written the song roughly two-and-a-half years before it ended up on 'Cowboy Carter.' 'When Beyoncé reached out to me about music, I thought of it right away because it really encompasses our relationship,' she told W magazine. 'I told her, 'We don't have to get country; we are country. We've been country.' I said, 'You know, between you being from Texas and me being from Tennessee, so much of us is going to be in this song.' Getting to write a song, not just sing, for Beyoncé was a dream come true.' Beyoncé is just past the halfway mark of her 'Cowboy Carter' world tour, having previously touched down in Los Angeles, Chicago, New Jersey and London. After she wraps in Paris on June 22, she's heading back to the United States for shows in her native Houston, Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Las Vegas, where she'll conclude the trek on July 26.
