Amazon founder and business tycoon Jeff Bezos got married to journalist and his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez on Friday at a sumptuous ceremony with the rich and famous on an island in Venice's lagoon. 'This city seems impossible! It can't exist and yet, here it is!" an enchanted Bezos told a La Repubblica journalist Thursday who got close to the magnate as he whizzed around the canals by boat. Serenaded Sanchez late Friday posted a photo on Instagram — under a new name, @laurensanchezbezos — showing her in a long flowing white dress and him in black tie, though it did not provide any indication where it was taken.

The couple exchanged vows at a black-tie ceremony on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore Friday afternoon, according to Italian media reports. The wedding is thought to have taken place in a vast open-air amphitheatre on the island, which sits across from Venice's iconic St Mark's Square. The newlyweds were to be serenaded by Matteo Bocelli, son of the famed opera singer Andrea Bocelli, reports said. Michelin-starred chef Fabrizio Mellino prepared the wedding dinner, while the cake has been made by French pastry chef Cedric Grolet, the Corriere della Sera said. Sanchez is alleged to have prepared 27 outfits to wear during the festivities. The Costume The bride was corseted and cosseted in her high-necked, hand-appliquéd Italian lace wedding dress on the grounds of an 18th-century brick villa outside of Milan. The Milanese lace-wedding dress had 180 chiffon-covered buttons and took over 900 hours to make. Featuring on the Vogue cover, Laura Sanchez is now officially Laura Sanchez Bezos. Her tulle-and-lace veil, inspired by the one Sophia Loren wore in the 1958 film 'Houseboat." 'It is a departure from what people expect…but it's very much me," said the bride ahead of her wedding. Jeff Bezos' ensemble was a traditional black tuxedo with a vest and a bow tie. He paired his wedding look with $650 sunglasses from Louis Vuitton. The Guest List Music legends Sir Elton John and Lady Gaga lit up the affair for the couple and the star-studded guest list.

The guests reportedly lunched Thursday in the gardens of Villa Baslini, on the islet of San Giovanni Evangelista.

MrBeast Removes AI Thumbnail Tool After Backlash: "I Thought People Were..."
YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, more popularly known as MrBeast, has removed a YouTube thumbnail generator that used artificial intelligence (AI) after receiving intense backlash from creators and fans alike. The world's most-subscribed YouTuber admitted that he had "missed the mark" after his contemporaries pointed out that the tool was stealing work from human creators. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), MrBeast said he had removed the tool from his YouTube analytics platform, Viewstats and that he would replace it with links to human artists available for commission. "Hey! Thanks for all your feedback on the ViewStats AI thumbnail tool, we pulled it and added a funnel for creators to find real thumbnail artists to commission," wrote MrBeast. MrBeast acknowledged the feedback, stating he previously thought that the tool would be well-received within the community. "I thought people were going to be pretty excited about it, but I definitely missed the mark. If you opened up Twitter, you know what I'm talking about. I read all your feedback and going forward there is no AI thumbnail tool, we pulled it down, said MrBeast. "On top of that, I wanted to go one step further to really show artists out there that I care... on under our 'More Tools' section, it will say hire a thumbnail artist." He said his goal with Viewstats had been to build tools to help creators, "but if creators don't want the tools, no worries". "I care more than any of you could ever imagine about the YouTube community. Obviously I'm the biggest YouTuber in the world and I don't take that responsibility lightly and so it deeply makes me sad when I do something that people in the community are upset by." MrBeast released the AI tool last week that allowed users to create eye-catching thumbnails instantly by "taking the guesswork out" for $80 per month subscription fee. Hey! Thanks for all your feedback on the ViewStats AI thumbnail tool, we pulled it and added a funnel for creators to find real thumbnail artists to commission — MrBeast (@MrBeast) June 27, 2025 Social media reacts After the pullback, social media users lauded MrBeast for listening to their grievances and taking action. "Hey Jimmy. I appreciate you looking at this objectively and realising how with you being the biggest creator on the platform, you can unintentionally set a precedent that can affect the industry as a whole," said one user while another added: "Big respect for taking it down despite whatever it cost to develop. I do hope you'll consider looking at the issue more closely." A third commented: "Thank you for reaching down to help smaller creators, Jimmy." The US YouTuber has more than 385 million subscribers on the site and is thought to be its highest-paid creator.

'Thinking of you today': Shefali Jariwala's last Twitter post was a heartfelt tribute to ex-boyfriend Sidharth Shukla
The sudden death of actor and dancer Shefali Jariwala on Friday shocked fans and the industry. The 42-year-old reportedly died after suffering cardiac arrest. Her social media was flooded with shocked messages from fans, who saw that her last post was just three days ago. The actor had even performed very recently in Goa. However, her last post on Twitter (now X) was several months ago, and ironically, it was in memory of another Bigg Boss 13 contestant who died young - Sidharth Shukla. Shefali Jariwala and Sidharth Shukla dated in the late 2000s. Shefali Jariwala was more active on Instagram than on Twitter. On the latter, her last post was in September 2024. It was a picture of her hugging Sidharth Shukla on the sets of Bigg Boss 13. "Thinking of you today mere dost @sidharth_shukla," Shefali wrote in the post, dated September 2, 2024, the third death anniversary of the actor. Sidharth Shukla was the winner of Bigg Boss 13. The actor died in September 2021 at the age of 40 after suffering a heart attack, just like Shefali. Shefali and Sidharth had dated over 15 years ago, when they were both working on TV. The two remained friends even after their breakup. In a 2020 interview with BollywoodLife, Shefali had said, "Both of us are very logical people. Also, we have similar interests, we would talk about travel, space, bullet trains and whatnot. Even after we stopped dating, we were always cordial whenever we bumped into each other." Shefali Jariwala's death Shefali Jariwala rose to fame in the early 2000s with the viral hit Kaanta Laga. She worked in several movies and TV shows, but the song remained her claim to fame. On Friday, she was rushed to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital in Mumbai, but doctors reportedly declared her dead upon arrival. The cause of her death remains unclear, though some sources suggest that she may have suffered a cardiac arrest. Her family has yet to issue an official statement regarding the circumstances of her passing. Mumbai Police sources have confirmed the news of her death. "Actress Shefali Jariwala has passed away at the age of 42. Her body was found at her residence in the Andheri area of Mumbai," a police source said, adding that the body was found at her residence in Andheri.
