Jeff Bezos' wedding guest list: Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner and more stars arrive
Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner lead the A-list guests who have begun arriving for the glitzy Italian wedding week of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sánchez.
Trump, a close friend of Sánchez, and Kushner were pictured arriving Tuesday, June 24, in Italy as was Belgian fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg, who created the eponymous brand DVF. Investor Bill Miller's superyacht was also spotted arriving in town.
Bezos and Sánchez, who went public with their relationship in 2019 and got engaged in 2023, are set to tie the knot in Venice, Italy, the city previously confirmed. The wedding comes about six years after the Amazon founder began dating Sánchez following his split from ex-wife and philanthropist MacKenzie Scott.
Bezos and Sánchez have been rather tight-lipped about their upcoming nuptials, and the exact date of their wedding has not been revealed.
Reuters previously reported that the three-day wedding is likely to occur between June 26 and 28. But one thing, though, is for sure: The socialites' fête is likely to be star-studded as they both boast dozens of A-list friends.
Possible attendees include husband and wife duo actor Orlando Bloom and singer Katy Perry; media personalities Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian, TV icon Oprah Winfrey and "CBS Mornings" co-anchor Gayle King; and actress Eva Longoria.
Sanchez's ex and NFL legend Tony Gonzalez — considered one of the greatest tight ends in history — and his wife October "Tobie" Gonzalez, friends of "The Fly Who Flew To Space" author, are also expected to attend.

24 Products You'll Want If Your Kid Is Half Fish
A spacious inflatable pool so they can enjoy a refreshing dip to stretch their fins, even if you don't have an in-ground pool. But honestly, who needs to deal with the upkeep of that if you can just whip this bad boy out whenever you please?! Or, a splurge-worthy above-ground pool because you don't have the space or moolah to put in a traditional pool, but you still want your kiddo to have a place to swim that doesn't require a car trip and lugging a bajillion things to the community pool. A pack of pool noodles perfect for floating, making rafts, or having (harmless) sword fights. Promising review: "At first, I thought, who would review pool noodles? Then I realized - because no one does, you don't realize how magnificent these pool noodles are. Over the past few weeks, I have really put these to the test. First, they float like nobody's business. You can't ask for better floating foam noodles. Even when you try to sink them, they float right back up. They never give up. But then, the real test — mock sword battles. I was the terror of the household. I could not be defeated. It was like I *WAS* the Immortal. There can be only one, and it is me. (cue Queen music now). But the most amazing thing of all is that after that — THEY STILL FLOAT! They just bob along the top of the water, waiting for their next assignment. I have used them to lie on, sit on, you name it. They just float and don't give up. So if you really want pool noodles that float, get these. You will not regret it, and your neighbors will want to be you." —N. Tara SmithGet five from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in 12 different color combinations). Some goggles with a click-open clasp and mirrored lenses, because it's 2025, and someone finally invented a version that doesn't fog up or pull your hair out when you take 'em off. Gone are the days of fighting your kiddo to get out of the pool just to have to wrestle their goggles off, yanking their hair in the process, and making an already grumpy kid grumpier. Those wails will never be heard again. Or a pair of Frogglez that have fully redesigned the goggle game. Like, seriously, who thought it was a good idea to make the strap a piece of plastic that gets wrapped around your hair and then rips HUGE clumps out when you take them off?! These are made with a neoprene strap and have adjustable Velcro so they can actually fit each kiddo's head comfortably. A one-piece swimsuit rash guard with a zipper that goes the entire length of the bathing suit 'cause there's nothing worse than trying to wrestle a soggy baby to change their diaper or get them into dry clothes and having to pull off their bathing suit. That's basically like a giant finger trap, but with their entire body. Struggles, begone! It's also UPF 50+! UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) is a measure of how much UV radiation reaches your skin through a fabric. UPF 50 means it's designed to block 98% of the sun's review: "I absolutely love this long-sleeve UPF 50+ swimsuit for my 2-year-old daughter! The flower print is so cute, and the full-coverage design is exactly what I was looking for. It even has longer legs that go past her knees, which is a huge bonus. Living in Hawaii, I'm very aware of the risks of sun damage and skin cancer, so having a suit like this gives me peace of mind. I don't have to use as much sunscreen, and she stays protected while still being comfortable and stylish. Fits true to size, and she moves around easily in it. Highly recommend for any parent who wants a cute and functional suit for sun safety!" —Lauren Day | Hawaii Mom LifeGet it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six sizes and 19 patterns). A four-pack of Toypedo Bandits, which are like the main toy I can remember playing with my whole childhood. These bad boys can glide for up to 20 feet so your little one can have fun chasing them all around. For ages 5+.Promising review: "Really fun for the kids — keeps them in the pool longer, and I like that these sink quickly and move a bit from where they enter the water so kids have to look around a bit for them they aren't just literally right below where tossed in. That can be tricky for little kids just learning to dive for stuff because they may travel deeper than intended, but I'd say for 7+ these are super, and good for 5–6 if experienced in swimming underwater/diving for toys." —MeeeeeeeeGet it from Target for $5. An easy-to-pack, UPF 50+ wide-brim bucket hat to help shield their face when they refuse to get out of the pool to reapply sunscreen on time. This way, you'll know they are shaded from the hot sun while they're in the pool, turning into a prune for hours on end. A pre-swim hair cream that can help protect their hair from the damaging chlorine while they're swimming laps or playing mermaids. This stuff will help prevent their strands from getting dry and brittle and can save anyone with blonde locks from the dreaded greenish tint that sometimes makes an appearance in the summer. An inflatable basketball hoop set so they can practice their game without getting out of the water. It even comes with the ball so you're ready to get dunking right away. Promising review: "This was by far the hit of my child's pool party. The kids played with it for hours. It stayed inflated throughout the summer. The basketball that comes with it is heavy enough to bounce on the pool deck and also easy and light enough to shoot when swimming in the pool. I hope it reinflates without any issues next summer. That said, I will happily buy another one if it doesn't — it was that much fun." —NEReviewerGet it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in two colors). Huggies Little Swimmers diapers with easy-to-open sides so you can whip them off when you're in a hurry to change them into clothes when they finally agree to come out of the water. An underwater search and find game equipped with 64 colorful gems and cards so your fish (ahem, I mean kid) can memorize the card, dive down, and rush to be the first to find the correct combination of gems. This will help them learn how to dive down and hold their breath! Neutrogena Beach Defense Water Resistant Sunscreen to help prevent sunburn with 70 SPF. It's also water resistant for up to 80 minutes so they can enjoy much more time jumping in the waves or off the diving board. A long-sleeve, UPF 50+ kids zipper rash guard swim shirt that might help prevent sunburns without having to reapply sunscreen every hour and ruining all the fun they're having splashing around. The full zipper also makes it way easier to get it on and off. Promising review: "I've bought two of these so far as my kid has gotten older and will likely continue to buy a new one annually. My toddler wears his every day to the beach; no sunburns yet! The zipper is essential — it makes it so easy to take it on and off when wet. The fit is fairly true to size, but you may as well size up so it'll fit for longer (you can always roll up the sleeves). I've also tried hooded sun shirts but have found the hood to be too much trouble when wet; this version paired with a sun hat and some sun leggings is a good compromise." —TulipGet it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes 0 months–14 years and 29 colors). A Melissa & Doug "Louie Lobster" claw catcher pool toy, which is not only a super fun and unique game, but also helps them work on their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. This is great if you're ~in a pinch~ and forgot all your other toys 'cause it'll keep them entertained for a looong time. For ages 5+.Promising review: "My 3-year-old is obsessed with this toy. LOL, worth every penny!" —JpoGet it from Target for $10.89. A three-pack of inflatable pool floats smaller than traditional floats so they're the perfect size for your little ones. Plus, they come in a variety of ~delicious~ designs that make them even more fun. For ages 9+.Promising review: "I bought these not expecting much from them. I thought they'd just be some cheap rings that I'd have to throw after a single the are awesome. The material is very strong, and the rings [are] big enough for an adult. Easy to inflate and very strong. The colors and patterns are vibrant as well. No complaints. I would purchase them again! Definitely!" —JoshuaGet them from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five designs). A pop-up beach tent with a cutie lil' built-in "pool" area so your tiny, aquatic-loving kiddo can feel the refreshing water without you panic holding them the whole time. It even has UPF 50+ protection so you can feel good knowing your bebe is shielded from the sun while they play in the sand (and water). A six-pack of "Max Liquidator" water blasters to really elevate the pool or ocean to a whole new level. Turn it into an intense game of tag and see who can avoid getting sprayed the longest! Promising review: "I got these for my kids to play in the pool with, and they most certainly didn't disappoint. The maximum range on these (around 30 feet with a little elbow grease put into it) surpasses any Super-Soaker that I've ever tried, and they're extremely easy to use. Granted, they have no water reservoir, so you have to use them in the pool, lake, ocean, etc., for them to be effective, but aside from that, they are a fantastic water toy. Plus, they're brightly colored and float on the surface of the water so almost impossible to lose." —iEspressoGet them from Amazon for $20.14. A set of three collapsible swim-thru rings so they can practice their mermaid skills without requiring you to stand with your legs spread apart while they try to swim through. Promising review: "I got these for my 5-year-old son who just learned to swim this summer, so he can practice holding his breath and swimming underwater. I love that you don't need any extra tools to inflate or deflate. What you need is what you get. Very easy to inflate and deflate, and they actually work very well at different depths. We have a 10-foot deep end, and I was able to keep them 1-foot above the bottom and have my son swim through. My son is a fish now, surprised at how well he is able to swim after only learning a couple of months ago. Good purchase and keeps the kids busy." —AndrewGet them from Amazon for $19.47. A floating cornhole game that'll let them enjoy the classic backyard game while still making sure they don't turn into a fish out of water. Just be warned, the floating aspect might make this a biiit more challenging. It comes with the inflatable corn-hole game board, eight waterproof buoyant bean bags (four yellow and four blue), and a mesh carrying review: "I bought this for the Fourth of July as a fun pool game. It didn't take long to inflate with the little hand pump we had. No issues at all with the actual bean bags themselves. They float, which is great. The fact that the game itself floats and moves around adds a nice challenge element. Great price and I'd say I got my money's worth for the fun we had." —Lauren P. Get it from Amazon for $25.99. A mini sprinkler pool for your kiddos to splash around in and cool off without having to dump what seems like two TONS of water out of a kiddie pool when the fun is over. A deck of waterproof cards so they don't have to choose between a rousing game of hearts and taking a dip in the pool. The card competition is gonna heat up while they still get to cool off. A giant inflatable dinosaur sprinkler that sprays water out of its nose and is a DINO-mite way to cool off when it's so hot outside you feel like your skin could start melting off at any moment. Perfect for your fishy kids who may not be able to actually visit a pool every single day, but still need to make sure they don't dry out being on land without water for too long. A waterproof baby wrap so you can enjoy the pool without worrying about holding on to your kiddo for dear life. This is also great for anyone watching two little ones because you can be hands free and ready to play with the older one. Now, if you have to have your baby attached to your body, it can at least be while you're cooling off in the pool instead of just having your two sticky, hot, and sweaty bodies smushed together.

Bad News for Movie Studios: Authors Just Lost on a Key Issue In a Major AI Lawsuit
Transformative. That's how a federal court characterized Amazon-backed Anthropic's use of millions of books across the web to teach its artificial intelligence system. It's the first decision to consider the issue and will serve as a template for other courts overseeing similar cases. And studios, now that some have entered the fight over the industry-defining technology, should be uneasy about the ruling. More from The Hollywood Reporter Netflix Founder Reed Hastings Joins Board of AI Giant Anthropic Anthropic Wins First Round In Lawsuit From Music Publishers Over Song Lyrics Music Publishers Reach Deal With AI Giant Anthropic Over Copyrighted Song Lyrics The thrust of these cases will be decided by one question: Are AI companies covered by fair use, the legal doctrine in intellectual property law that allows creators to build upon copyrighted works without a license? On that issue, a court found that Anthropic is on solid legal ground, at least with respect to training. The technology is 'among the most transformative many of us will see in our lifetimes,' wrote U.S. District Judge William Alsup. Still, Anthropic will face a trial over illegally downloading seven millions books to create a library that was used for training. That it later purchased copies of those books it stole off the internet earlier to cover its tracks doesn't absolve it of liability, the court concluded. The company faces potential damages of hundreds of millions of dollars stemming from the decision that could lead to Disney and Universal getting a similar payout depending on what they unearth in discovery over how Midjourney allegedly obtained copies of thousands of films that were repurposed to teach its image generator. Last year, authors filed a lawsuit against Anthropic accusing it of illegally downloading and copying their books to power its AI chatbot Claude. The company chose not to move to dismiss the complaint and instead skipped straight for a decision on fair use. In the ruling, the court found that authors don't have the right to exclude Anthropic from using their works to train its technology, much in the same way they don't have the right to exclude any person from reading their books to learn how to write. 'Everyone reads texts, too, then writes new texts,' reads the order. 'They may need to pay for getting their hands on a text in the first instance. But to make anyone pay specifically for the use of a book each time they read it, each time they recall it from memory, each time they later draw upon it when writing new things in new ways would be unthinkable.' If someone were to read all the modern-day classics, memorize them and emulate a blend of their writing, that wouldn't constitute copyright infringement, the court concluded. Like any reader who wants to be a writer, Anthropic's technology draws upon works not to replicate or supplant them but to create something entirely different, according to the order. Those aren't the findings that Disney or Universal — both of whom are suing Midjourney for copyright infringement — wanted or expected. For them, there's reason to worry that Alsup's analysis will shape the way in which the judge overseeing their case considers undermining development of a technology that was found by another court to be revolutionary (or something close to it). More broadly, it could be found that AI video generators, like Sora, are simply distilling every movie ever made to create completely new works. 'This Anthropic decision will likely be cited by all creators of AI models to support the argument that fair use applies to the use of massive datasets to train foundational models,' says Daniel Barsky, an intellectual property lawyer at Holland & Knight. Important to note: The authors didn't allege that responses generated by Anthropic infringed upon their works. And if they had, they would've lost that argument under the court's finding that guardrails are in place to ensure that no infringing ever reached users. Alsup compared it to Google imposing limits on how many snippets of text from any one book could be seen by a user through its Google Book service, preventing its search function from being misused as a way to access full books for free. 'Here, if the outputs seen by users had been infringing, Authors would have a different case,' Alsup writes. 'And, if the outputs were ever to become infringing, Authors could bring such a case. But that is not this case.' But that could be the case for Midjourney, which returns nearly exact replicas of frames from films in some instances. When prompted with 'Thanos Infinity War,' Midjourney — an AI program that translates text into hyper-realistic graphics — replied with an image of the purple-skinned villain in a frame that appears to be taken from the Marvel movie or promotional materials, with few to no alterations made. A shot of Tom Cruise in the cockpit of a fighter jet, from Top Gun: Maverick, is produced when the tool was asked for a frame from the film. The chatbots can seemingly replicate almost any animation style, generating startlingly accurate characters from titles ranging from DreamWorks' Shrek to Pixar's Ratatouille to Warner Bros.' The Lego Movie. 'The fact that Midjourney generates copies and derivatives of' films from Disney and Universal proves that the company, without their knowledge or permission, 'copied plaintiffs' copyrighted works to train and develop' its technology, states the complaint. Also at play: The possibility that Midjourney pirated the studios' movies. In the June 23 ruling, Alsup found that Anthropic illegally downloading seven million books to build a library to be used for training isn't covered by fair use. He said that the company could've instead paid for the copies. Such piracy, the court concluded, is 'inherently, irredeemably infringing.' With statutory damages for willful copyright infringement reaching up to $150,000 per work, massive payouts are a possibility.

Inside the Complex and Petty Prenups of the Superwealthy
When Jeff Bezos and MacKenzie Scott divorced in 2019, they didn't have a prenuptial agreement to govern the division of their assets. She received a stake in valued at more than $35 billion. Now, as the world's third-richest man prepares to marry Lauren Sánchez in a multiday Venetian extravaganza, onlookers can't help but wonder whether there is a prenup and what it looks like.
