Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding guest list: A-listers arrive in Italy to celebrate
Power players in the business and political spheres have begun to arrive in Italy to celebrate.
The wedding has also drawn unwelcome guests: protesters.
The Amazon founder and his fiance, a former news anchor, are getting married in the Floating City in front of about 200 of their closest family and friends.
Some of the famous faces expected to attend have already begun to arrive in Italy.
First daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, arrived at Venice's Marco Polo airport on Tuesday and were photographed taking a water taxi to the St. Regis hotel. Fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg, who has a home in Venice, was also photographed arriving at Marco Polo.
According to social media posts, Tony Gonzalez, the NFL Hall of Famer and Sanchez's ex-boyfriend, and his family are in Italy, including his current wife — and Snchez's close friend — October Gonzalez. Fox Sports broadcaster Charissa Thompson has posted from Lake Como.
Both October and Thompson were at Sanchez's star-studded bachelorette party. Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, and Katy Perry also flew to Paris in May to celebrate the bride-to-be.
The guest lists at Bezos and Snchez's two engagement parties — one on Bezos' yacht Koru and the other at billionaire Barry Diller and von Furstenberg's Beverly Hills home — may also provide a preview of who will attend the actual nuptials. The previous events included Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Since Bezos and Sanchez's relationship went public in 2019, they have been a fixture of A-list events, such as the Met Gala, Vanity Fair Oscars Party, and Formula 1 races, often photographed with celebrities, rather than people from the tech world.
Guests are expected to stay at some of the city's most expensive hotels, like The Gritti Palace, Hotel Cipriani, and Aman, which are largely booked for the week. Rooms at these properties can cost upward of $10,000 a night.
Protest organizers, who have cited concerns with overtourism, have vowed to disrupt the wedding, saying they would potentially try to block access to some venues. The city, for its part, has denounced the protests and said it welcomes the wedding.
Here is the full list of reported wedding guests:

Netflix has 15 new releases this week — full list and the 7 you need to watch
Netflix is adding 15 new shows and movies to the streaming service this week and there are a few must-watch new titles you'll want to add to your watchlist. If you're into political thrillers, "Hostage" stars Suranne Jones as a fictional British Prime Minister and Julie Delpy as a French President, and they're quickly thrust into the middle of a political nightmare. Sports fans and documentary lovers will want to check out "America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys," which gives us a never-before-seen look at the rise of Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys as the NFL's preeminent brand. These aren't the only shows and movies worth keeping an eye on. I've found seven top picks in all worth considering for your watchlist this week, including "The 355," a much-maligned box office bomb that is surprisingly beloved by audiences. So for more to watch, read on for all of my top picks, a full list of everything new on Netflix this week and the scoop on what's leaving Netflix this week. If you need more, check out our guide to everything new to Netflix in August, and check out our first look at "Nobody Wants This" season 2. "Hostage" is a new political thriller miniseries starring Suranne Jones as Abigail Dalton, the Prime Minister of the U.K. She's in a tense border standoff with the French President, Vivienne Toussaint (Julie Delpy), and they arrive at a summit to hash things out. But once she's there, she suddenly gets a call — her husband has been abducted. The abductors deliver an ultimatum to Abigail. She needs to give up her power and resign as Prime Minister to get her husband back. If she refuses, she could lose him for good. Of course, the trailer reveals she'll do no such thing. So now, she needs to navigate challenges from Toussaint, the terrorists and her own political allies (and enemies) at home to get her family back without losing everything. Watch on Netflix starting Aug. 21 The Dallas Cowboys have been a relevant name in the NFL for decades. Legendary coach Tom Landry took the team to five Super Bowls in the 1970s, winning two of them. But by the time 1989 rolled around, things reached their nadir, and Jerry Jones took advantage to scoop up the franchise for $150 million. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. That may seem like chump change today for a franchise worth $12.8 billion, but at the time, failure would have left Jones with nothing. So it was a shock when the first thing he did was fire Landry and hire Jimmy Johnson, the University of Miami coach who Jones played with at the University of Arkansas. The rest, as they say, is history. The Cowboys would win three Super Bowls in the 1990s — though they've never been back since. "America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys" tells the whole tale, including all the drama, with never-before-seen footage and interviews with Cowboys legends, including Jones, Johnson, Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin. You won't want to miss it. Watch on Netflix starting Aug. 19 "The 355" stars Jessica Chastain, Penélope Cruz, Diane Kruger and Lupita Nyong'o as rival spies all hunting for a special decryption program drive that can access any digital system on Earth, but they're not alone. Criminal mastermind Elijah Clarke (Jason Flemyng) also wants the drive, and he'll kill anyone to get it. One of the people he kills is Mace's partner (Sebastian Stan), and it's his off-screen death that throws these women into a globetrotting race against each other, which eventually puts them directly in the path of Chinese MSS spy Li Mi Sheng (Fan Bingbing). It's important to set your expectations appropriately going into "The 355." While billed as a franchise starting girl-boss team-up between some of the hottest actresses of the 2010s, it's a run-of-the-mill action popcorn flick that just happens to feature women instead of men in the leading roles. Critics hated it, but if you go in only expecting to have a (hopefully) fun time watching these women work against, and then later with, each other, you might have a good experience, like most people who've seen this movie and rated it on Rotten Tomatoes. Watch on Netflix starting Aug. 21 If you loved "Bojack Horseman," then you'll want to check out "Long Story Short," from Raphael Bob-Waksberg, who also created the former series. This animated sitcom tells the story of a middle-class Jewish family, specifically the three siblings of the family: Avi (Ben Feldman), Shira (Abbi Jacobson), and Yoshi (Max Greenfield). "Long Story Short" follows these three and the people in their lives across more than 30 years, shifting back and forth between their highly religious childhood and the experiences of their ordinary adult lives. It's also already been renewed for a second season, so don't worry about committing only for the show to be canceled. From watching the trailer, I'll admit that I'm a bit underwhelmed by the animation, which looks similar to the animation of "Bojack" but somehow less refined. However, I was not underwhelmed by the story and writing overall, which had me laughing at multiple points during the one-minute and 45-second trailer. Watch on Netflix starting Aug. 22 Jussie Smollett was riding high at the start of 2019, one of the stars of the Fox drama series "Empire." But on Jan. 29, he reported to Chicago police that he had been the victim of a hate crime, alleging that he had been physically attacked outside his apartment and assailed with racial and homophobic slurs. But a mere two weeks later, Chicago police announced that he had instead paid two brothers to stage the assault, and within less than a month, Smollett was charged with a felony for filing a false police report. Here's where things take yet another turn. After a deal that saw the charges dropped following community service — which Smollett completed — he was tried again in 2020, this time sentenced to jail time and significant restitution to the city of Chicago. This saga just resolved itself this past May, with Smollett and the city settling civil claims after the Illinois Supreme Court overturned the conviction, ruling Smollett's due process was violated. Now, "The Truth About Jussie Smollett?" looks to tell the full story, including a reexamination of whether Smollett was telling the truth this entire time. It also features interviews with Smollett, making this documentary compelling to watch regardless of the conclusion. Watch on Netflix starting Aug. 22 "Rivers of Fate" stars Domithila Cattete as Janalice, a Brazilian girl in Belém do Pará whose life seems to be cursed. But things for her go from bad to worse once she's kidnapped by human traffickers who intend to prostitute her in a sex trafficking operation. She's not the only cursed character in this Brazilian miniseries from Oscar-nominated "City of God" screenwriter Bráulio Mantovani. There's also Preá (Lucas Galvino), who is struggling to come to terms with his doomed fate as the leader of a gang of 'water rats,' criminals who operate in the rivers near the city on Brazil's northern Atlantic coast. Then there's Mariangel (Marleyda Soto), who seeks revenge for the death of her family. All three characters are used to highlight the struggles of life in Pará, and their stories intertwine as they try and shake their cursed fates. Don't miss this gripping miniseries when it hits Netflix this week. Watch on Netflix starting Aug. 20 Another foreign language addition to Netflix this week, "Fall for Me" is a German drama set in the Spanish island paradise of Mallorca and it looks gripping. The erotic thriller stars Svenja Jung as Lilli, a German woman who visits Mallorca to live with her sister Valeria for a while. But upon her arrival, she finds her sister is shockingly engaged, soon to be married to Manu, a Frenchman, and the pair plan to invest their money in a high-quality bed-and-breakfast. Lilli smells a scam, so she starts looking into Manu's true intentions. That digging leads her to cross paths with Tom (Theo Trebs), an enigmatic nightclub owner, and he and Lilli begin a steamy, heated romance. Their affair is either destined to be short-lived or doomed to failure, because Tom seems to have some sinister secrets he's hiding from Lilli, based on the movie's trailer. Don't miss "Fall for Me" when it arrives on Netflix this week. Watch on Netflix starting Aug. 21 AUGUST 18 "CoComelon Lane" season 5 (Netflix family) The CoComelon Lane kids are back, exploring their world and embracing their imaginations on fun field trips to the airport, an apple orchard and more!

Conservatives mock Comey over Taylor Swift video
Conservatives are mocking former FBI Director James Comey over a post he made on his Substack on Sunday in which he discussed his admiration for pop superstar Taylor Swift. The post features a video of Comey calling Swift 'a truly inspirational public figure' and noting her recent appearance on NFL stars' Jason and Travis Kelce's podcast 'New Heights.' 'Taylor Swift and I go way back. I went to my first concert of hers 15 years ago. I've been to a second and I have helped financially support the attendance of a lot of family members and others. I'm in a family's Swiftie group chat. I know all her music, and I listen to it in my headphones when I cut the grass,' Comey said in the video. In response to Comey's video, conservative personality Benny Johnson said that 'A new James Comey hostage video just dropped.' 'This time he calls himself a 'Swiftie' and says Taylor Swift helps him cope with Donald Trump. You really can't make this up,' Johnson added in a Sunday post on the social platform X. In the Comey video, the former FBI director also states that 'we need to stand up to jerks and defend what matters, but I think we have to try to do that without becoming like them, which is what makes me think about Taylor Swift.' 'She's made clear that she sees Donald Trump for what he is, and last year, she urged Americans not to make the serious mistake of electing him,' Comey added. 'Of course, we're now living with the consequences of that mistake, but while our elderly makeup- covered president is posting about whether Taylor Swift is still hot and declaring that he can't stand her, what's she doing? Living her best life.' Conservative commentator Dinesh D'Souza also said on X Sunday that Comey was attempting 'now to come across as a normal guy, a Taylor Swift fan, and a champion of civility and decorum' in the wake of 'using his power for years to entrap Trump, Flynn and others.' The Hill has reached out to a representative for Comey and the White House for comment. Comey was fired as FBI director by Trump during his first term, and the two have feuded for years. Earlier this year, Comey made waves when he posted an image of shells on a seashore spelling out '86 47.' He deleted the post after criticism, saying he did not recognize it as something that could be seen as promoting violence toward the president. Comey's daughter, Maureen Comey, was fired in July from her job as a prosecutor for the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY). The firing was largely seen as politically motivated given Trump's feelings for Comey and his desire for loyalists throughout his administration. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
