Vittoria Ceretti, Leonardo DiCaprio, Lauren Sánchez, and Jeff Bezos Do Double-Date Style

Is it even summer without a trip to Europe? In the land of celebrities, that would be a hard no. On their time off, A-listers love flocking to remote islands in France, Spain, Italy and beyond for their lavish vacations. Such is the case for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez this week: The recently-married couple, who took over Venice with their over-the-top ceremony back in June, arrived in Ibiza this weekend aboard their multi-million dollar yacht for a little R&R. (And this is no little boat—the superyacht is reported to be worth a whopping $485 million). As they landed on the rocky shore to head to dinner, Bezos and Sánchez even brought along another famous duo to make their night out a splashy double date: They were joined by Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti. (The actor and model were among the many notable guests at the Venice wedding, so it's not surprising that the four friends are traveling together.) Photo: Backgrid While it was a double date, the couples didn't opt for coordinated, matchy-matchy outfits. Bezos and Sánchez went for more of an easy-breezy vacation vibe: Sánchez sported a white textured mini dress with heeled mules and a structured top-handle bag, while Bezos wore a white knit polo shirt, chinos, and white low-top sneakers. DiCaprio and Ceretti, meanwhile, went much dressier in all-black looks. The Hollywood actor donned his signature black baseball cap and a discrete monochromatic outfit, while Ceretti looked chic in her tank, swishy skirt, and heeled mules. The fact that Sánchez and Ceretti both navigated the rocky terrain in stilettos? Very impressive. But even more impressive, is how the paparazzi managed to find the couples in such a remote setting. Were they posted up on a nearby boat, just waiting for them to come ashore? Do they have a tracker on their yacht? Did they get tipped off by the Ibiza locals? When you have that much power and money, privacy is clearly one thing you can't buy.

Audible's New HARRY POTTER Audiobooks Reveal Star-Studded Cast With Hugh Laurie, Matthew Macfadyen, Riz Ahmed and More — GeekTyrant

Get ready to return to the wizarding world in a whole new way. Audible is breathing new life into Harry Potter with an ambitious full-cast audio production of all seven books, and the first installment, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone , drops this November. Audible and J.K. Rowling's Pottermore Publishing just announced the major cast and rollout plan for Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions , which promises a completely immersive experience, complete with original music, high-end sound design, and real-world audio capture. The audiobook series will debut amid the ongoing production of HBO's own Harry Potter live-action TV adaptation in the U.K. The casting for Audible's audio editions wrapped earlier this year, with over 2,000 hours already recorded. And the cast they've assembled is nothing short of magical. Hugh Laurie ( House ) steps into the legendary role of Albus Dumbledore. Matthew Macfadyen ( Succession ) gives voice to the Dark Lord himself, Voldemort. Riz Ahmed ( Sound of Metal ) brings complexity to Professor Snape, while Michelle Gomez ( Doctor Who ) takes on the role of Professor McGonagall. The entire series is narrated by Cush Jumbo ( The Good Fight ), whose voice will guide listeners through all seven audiobooks. As for the young trio, the early books will be voiced by newcomers Frankie Treadaway (Harry), Max Lester (Ron), and Arabella Stanton (Hermione). Interestingly, Stanton is also portraying Hermione in HBO's series. For books four through seven, Jaxon Knopf, Rhys Mulligan, and Nina Barker-Francis will take over as Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The release schedule kicks off with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on November 4, 2025, followed by monthly releases through May 2026: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets – December 16, 2025 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban – January 13, 2026 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire – February 10, 2026 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix – March 10, 2026 Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince – April 14, 2026 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – May 12, 2026 In a statement, Hugh Laurie shared his excitement, saying: 'I'm honored to have been trusted with the keys to Albus Dumbledore, and thrilled to be able to take him around the track of this beautiful incarnation by Pottermore and Audible. 'I'm also deeply conscious of previous drivers Richard Harris, Michael Gambon, Jude Law and the iconic narrations by Jim Dale and my colleague Sir Stephen Fry.' He added: 'Just below the horizon, but headed our way, is the rough beast John Lithgow, his hour come round at last. This is great company, and it's a privilege to be among their number.' The original single-voice audiobooks, featuring Stephen Fry and Jim Dale, are still available on Audible and have racked up a massive 1.8 billion global listening hours since their 2015 launch. But this new version is on a different level. According to Audible's Chief Content Officer Rachel Ghiazza: 'Magic is coming alive as these brilliant actors lift iconic characters off the page and into our ears. Hearing these spellbinding performances in our state-of-the-art studios has been nothing short of extraordinary. 'We're overjoyed to share that fans of all ages can now mark their fall calendars for a truly breathtaking experience with Audible and Pottermore Publishing — one that promises to reignite the magic for longtime fans and captivate a whole new generation of listeners.' Neil Blair, chairman of Pottermore Publishing, echoed that enthusiasm: 'We're thrilled to be partnering with Audible to reimagine the Harry Potter stories through this groundbreaking full-cast audio experience. 'J.K. Rowling's rich, immersive world is perfectly suited to this next evolution in audiobook storytelling. We can't wait for a new generation of children around the world to discover the stories in this exciting new way.' Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions will join Audible's growing library of original productions, including 1984 , Pride & Prejudice , and Sam Mendes' adaptations of Oliver Twist , David Copperfield , and Bleak House . For longtime fans or those discovering the Wizarding World for the first time, this is shaping up to be one of the most exciting Harry Potter projects in years.
