Why did Sydney Sweeney attend Bezos-Sanchez wedding despite not being friends with either of them? Reason revealed
Jeff Bezos's Venice wedding to former TV presenter Lauren Sanchez on Friday (June 27) was the talk of the town. Be it for its enviable guest list or jaw-dropping cost, the wedding in Venice has dominated the headlines ever since.

From Leonardo DiCaprio to Oprah Winfrey, all of Hollywood's finest descended upon the City of Canals for the nuptials. But one name managed to draw the most attention: Hollywood's latest it-girl Sydney Sweeney.
Page Six reports that Sweeney isn't friends with either of the pair. However, she was still present for the wedding due to her upcoming project with Amazon MGM Studios. A source cited in the report said that Sweeney 'came to pay respects to the 'boss,' just like in the old days of Hollywood', following through on her invite to the nuptials. Sweeney was last photographed with the couple at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party earlier this year.
Sweeney's latest project with Amazon was announced last month by Variety and is set to be a film adaptation of the 'Split Fiction' video game released earlier this year in March. The video game is based on two authors who become trapped in the fictional worlds they create. Wicked's Jon M Chu will be directing the project while the writers behind 'Deadpool & Wolverine' will be scribing the screenplay. Sweeney will be serving as executive producer of the project while the search is still on for her co-star.

Sweeney previously worked with Amazon on her 2021 project 'The Voyeurs'. She is also set to star in an upcoming biopic about boxer Christy Martin, as per IMDb.
During her time in Venice, rumors have hinted at a possible romantic spark between Sweeney and either of two other A-list guests: Tom Brady and Orlando Bloom.

Virat Kohli poked after Shubman Gill comes of age in debut series as Test captain: 'And some players dye their beard'
For someone who wasn't given much of a chance to create an impact ahead of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Shubman Gill has responded in some style. India's new Test captain has taken to the England series like grabbing a bull by its horns, having burned up the charts. Gill is the leading run-scorer of the series, having plundered 722 runs, leaving behind a trail of records, and is on the verge of a couple more big ones. What a story it has been. From being questioned for his batting skills outside of India, to becoming the most standout batter of the series, Gill has come a long way, and it's just his maiden series as captain.

The former India Test stalwart's retirement meant that the No. 4 slot was left vacant. And Gill, who was earlier tried as opener and at No. 3, has more than done justice to the position, scoring three centuries and a double hundred to lead India by example. He may have lost all five tosses thus far, but despite training 1-2 in the series, the skipper has already learnt a lot in less than two months in his role as Test captain. Varun Aaron fires a curveball That Gill has grown exponentially in his first assignment – a big one – is a true testament to his character. But at the same time, the fact that it comes on the heels of Kohli walking away from Test cricket draws an interesting parallel. Former India pacer Varun Aaron weighed in on the same, expressing that captaincy takes a heavy toll mentally, and how it ages people multiple times than usual. Also, reacting to Kohli's revelation that he now has to dye his beard, Aaron quipped at the former India captain. "That's what happens to all Indian captains. They come in with a full bunch of black hair and leave with a lot of salt and pepper. And then, some even dye their beard," he said, triggering a laugh among the studio experts. "Shubman Gill has kind of come full circle; he is the Test team captain, has batted so well, more than 700 runs. Any words or phrases would fall short to describe his batting. This Test is going to define his legacy going forward as a captain," Aaron said on the Sony Sports Network. Kohli, who attended an event hosted by Yuvraj Singh, was asked about his decision to retire from Test cricket. While he did not address it in as many words, he did mention, "I just coloured my beard two days ago. You know it's time when you are colouring your beard every four days."

First Copy Season 2 Announced: Munawar Faruqui To Return With A Darker, More Intense Arif
Last Updated: Munawar Faruqui returns in First Copy Season 2 with more chaos, deeper emotions, and a gripping new chapter in Arif's cinematic journey. After a breakout debut that blurred the lines between ambition, obsession, and cinema, First Copy is gearing up for a thrilling new chapter. Amazon MX Player, Amazon's free video streaming service, has officially announced the return of its hit original drama with Season 2, starring comedian-turned-actor Munawar Faruqui. When First Copy first premiered, it marked a major departure for Faruqui—one of India's most beloved stand-up comics—as he stepped into the shoes of Arif, a complex character whose love for cinema is matched only by his hunger for power. Set against the nostalgic backdrop of 1990s Bollywood culture, Season 1 was a surprise success, praised for its compelling storytelling and Faruqui's nuanced performance. Season 2 will pick up from the dramatic cliffhanger that left viewers gasping—Arif's cinematic empire has crumbled, his ambitions shattered. But if the teaser is any indication, he's far from done. The upcoming season will dive deeper into Arif's psyche as he navigates betrayal, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of a second act. As stakes rise and relationships get murkier, the audience will see a version of Arif unlike ever before. Speaking about the series and his return, Munawar Faruqui shared, 'First Copy was a big leap for me, my first acting project, and I honestly didn't expect this kind of love. I think audiences really connected with Arif — with all his imperfections — and that's been humbling. He is intense, passionate, and constantly looking for meaning in chaos. But his story? It's just getting started." The series boasts an ensemble cast featuring Krystle D'Souza, Gulshan Grover, Saqib Ayub, Ashi Singh, Meiyang Chang, Inam Ul Haq, and Raza Murad, adding layers of drama and intrigue to Arif's chaotic world. As anticipation mounts and fan theories flood social media, one thing is certain — First Copy is far from done. The new season will premiere later this year on Amazon MX Player and will be available to stream for free. Whether you're a die-hard Munawar Faruqui fan or new to the world of First Copy, now's the perfect time to catch up — because Arif's reel is about to roll again. view comments First Published: July 31, 2025, 12:56 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
