While Mel B Walked Down the Aisle, Victoria Beckham Quietly Reminded Us Who's the Queen of Weddings
Mel B, a.k.a. Scary Spice, got married at St. Paul's Cathedral this weekend in a feathered headdress and leopard-print hen party afterglow. It was bold, defiant, and pure Scary Spice energy. But if you were scrolling Instagram at any point over the Fourth of July weekend, you know that someone else quietly stole the wedding spotlight — and she didn't even leave her pool.

Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sánchez Borrowed This Reception Detail From Kate Middleton's Wedding
Victoria Beckham celebrated her 26th wedding anniversary with David Beckham on Friday by posting a now-signature move: a romantic throwback (this one, them kissing in water with their eyes closed), a well-edited caption ('Another year, another chapter in our love story'), and just enough emotion to remind you that she's still that girl. The tiara bride. The Vera Wang legend. The woman who made white matching suits happen at her own reception and then watched the rest of the celebrity wedding industrial complex try to catch up for two decades.
And then, the next day, she posted again — this time for Mel. A Spice Girls throwback. A glam pic of just the two of them. 'Rory is a lucky man,' she wrote, congratulating her former bandmate on her third wedding while she was 'out of the country' and unable to attend.
That 1999 wedding to David at Luttrellstown Castle? Still unmatched. The 20-foot train. The gold tiara made by Princess Diana's jeweler. The bride and groom thrones. It's not subtle — and that's exactly the point. Victoria knew she was making history. And in the midst of all the family drama, she's making sure people know that things are going smoothly back at home.
Still, the former Spice Girl's recent reputation isn't without controversy. At Brooklyn and Nicola's 2022 wedding, she famously stole the first dance spotlight by joining Brooklyn on stage — leaving Nicola in tears and guests stunned. Insiders say this fueled tensions, with Nicola feeling her mother-in-law deliberately overshadowed her big day.
So while Mel B's day looked joyful and well-earned, Beckham posted her own polished tribute and showed support like a pro. The timing feels pointed, but anniversaries don't move — making this both coincidence and calculation. Either way, it was a reminder that in the world of celebrity weddings, she still holds the crown.

Ozzy Osbourne Plays His ‘Final Song' With Black Sabbath
'Look at all this love for heavy metal.' James Hetfield, the guitarist and lead vocalist for Metallica, gazed out at the crowd at Villa Park, a football stadium in Birmingham, England, on Saturday. His band was the last of a slew of headliner-caliber metal acts and seasoned pros in and around the genre to perform ahead of the night's honoree and hometown hero: Ozzy Osbourne. The gathering, a daylong festival called Back to the Beginning, was designed as both a tribute and a farewell. Osbourne, who has stepped back from live performance amid health issues including Parkinson's disease and emphysema, played solo for the first time in nearly seven years and then, for the first time since 2005, reunited with all three other original members of his pathbreaking 1970s band Black Sabbath — the guitarist Tony Iommi; the bassist Terence Butler, known as Geezer; and the drummer Bill Ward — for a four-song set. Both performances were billed as career finales at the event, which was organized by Osbourne's wife, Sharon, along with the Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, and streamed worldwide with a two-hour delay. 'Metallica is so grateful to be invited here to see all your beautiful faces and celebrate the band Black Sabbath, because without Sabbath there would be no Metallica,' Hetfield continued. 'Thank you, boys, for giving us a purpose in life; thank you, Black Sabbath.' Gratitude was a theme throughout the concert, where artists didn't simply cite Black Sabbath for inspiring them musically, but often credited the group with fostering an entire global subculture.

Danny DeVito reveals actress daughter Lucy got married: 'It was very emotional'
Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman's eldest daughter Lucy DeVito has tied the knot! The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel actress, 42, got married to her partner on June 28, Entertainment Weekly has learned. Danny had nothing but positive things to say about the ceremony in a recent interview with PEOPLE, describing the big day as an 'amazing' and 'wonderful' experience. 'We just had a good time,' Danny told the outlet. 'You make the speech and the whole thing. It was very emotional and really cool." The Always Sunny actor also noted that Lucy and her husband prefer to keep their private lives to themselves, but that the couple is 'very happy.' He also noted that the newlyweds are also the proud parents of a son named Carmine. "They already have the bundle of joy," he added. "It was a supreme highlight of my life." A true father-daughter duo, Danny and Lucy have frequently collaborated with one another on television projects like FXX's animated series Little Demon and onstage in the 2023 Broadway production of Theresa Rebeck's play, I Need That. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly ahead of the play's opening night, Danny expressed his excitement over getting to see his daughter make her Broadway debut from right onstage next to her. 'She's a wonderful actress and a great kid and we have a good time together,' he said at the time. 'We've been working together for a couple years now on things that we put together producing at [DeVito's production company] Jersey Films. We're developing a lot of things now.' In addition to Lucy, Danny and Rhea also share daughter Grace 'Gracie' Fan DeVito and son Jacob 'Jake' Daniel DeVito. While the couple has gone their separate ways since they originally tied the knot in 1982, they remain a strong family unit. "We're still separated, but we see each other often, and we're still a family," Perlman told PEOPLE in 2022. "We can do things together, we can do things separately. I'm really, really glad that Danny and I were able to navigate some rough days to be able to have this different kind of relationship. I think it's pretty rare, but we agree on so many things that it makes sense." Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Fans Grossed Out By Tennis Star Iga Swiatek's Favorite Meal
Fans Grossed Out By Tennis Star Iga Swiatek's Favorite Meal originally appeared on The Spun. Iga Swiatek may have revealed her secret to being one of the best tennis players in the world. On Saturday night, Swiatek defeated Danielle Collins to punch her ticket to the fourth round at Wimbledon. Although grass is considered her worst surface, she has looked really sharp over the past three matches. Her outlook for the rest of the tournament is really positive considering she's the only major champion left in her half of the draw. Advertisement Following her third-round match, Swiatek was asked if she knows what she's going to eat to celebrate her victory over Collins. Let's just say her response was very interesting. "I don't know yet," Swiatek said. "I have my favorite. It's pasta with strawberries. I ate it as a kid. You guys should try it. It's just great."

A few hours later, Swiatek shared a photo of her enjoying a bowl of pasta and strawberries on Instagram. Unsurprisingly, fans were a bit grossed out by Swiatek's post-match meal. "She actually can't be serious," one fan replied. "I will support every Iga's right and wrong, but strawberry on pasta.. girl," a second fan wrote on X. Advertisement "That should be illegal," another fan said. "That's disgusting," a social media user commented. Clearly, Swiatek's favorite meal doesn't hurt her performance on the court. Next up for Swiatek is a showdown with Clara Tauson, who is coming off a straight-sets win over former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina. Swiatek is hoping to make it back to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon for just the second time in her career.
