MacKenzie Scott's Instagram Comments Are Dragging Her Into the Jeff Bezos Wedding Drama
Scott did not attend Bezos' star-studded wedding to his second wife, Lauren Sánchez, on June 27. Nor has she publicly commented on the event, which ignited protests in Venice as the Amazon founder and his guests descended upon the Italian city. However, that hasn't stopped her from being associated with the controversial nuptials.

The notoriously private author has only one post on her verified Instagram account, a photo of herself, which was shared in October 2020 with no caption. Yet, her comments section has erupted as social media users, some real, some fake, flock to acknowledge Scott's use of her wealth, which radically opposes her ex-husband's.
'You'll probably never read this but… thank you for being such a classy, kind, and generous human being,' one such comment reads, likely referencing staggering charitable donations in the years since her divorce from Bezos (Scott has donated $19.2 billion since 2019, according to a December report from AP News).
Scott also got a shoutout from actress Mia Farrow the day after Sánchez married Bezos in a Dolce & Gabbana look estimated to be worth upwards of $200,000. 'How awesome is MacKenzie Scott!' the Rosemary's Baby actress wrote in a caption noting Scott's philanthropic efforts, a thinly-veiled jab at Bezos, which was supported by other celebrities, including Olivia Munn.
Scott, who shares four children with Bezos, married the famed entrepreneur in 1993, a year before Amazon was founded. She was one of the online store's first employees, building it from the ground up while raising her young family with Bezos.
In 2019, after reports accused Bezos of having an affair with Sánchez, the couple dissolved their marriage in one of the most expensive divorces in history. Scott walked away with $35.6 billion in Amazon stock, making her one of the wealthiest women in the world. The exes appeared to remain amicable. 'If we had known we would separate after 25 years, we would do it all again,' their statement announcing their divorce read.
Since then, Scott has done her best to prove that their divorce was never about the money, giving away hefty sums of money in no-strings-attached donations. 'The scale of this giving has really not just changed individual organizations but changed entire fields like affordable housing,' one of Scott's recipients, Shaun Donovan, CEO of the affordable housing organization Enterprise Community Partners, told AP.
Scott rarely comments on her philanthropy and most certainly does not comment on her ex-husband, but her supporters would happily declare that she is definitely showing him up as far as giving back to society is concerned.Best of SheKnows

Ringo Starr says he asked for script changes in Sam Mendes' Beatles biopic: 'That's not how we were'
Ringo Starr is all about peace and love — but that doesn't mean he's afraid of pushing back. The legendary musician has revealed that he had some notes for Sam Mendes, the filmmaker set to helm four separate movies about each member of the Beatles. With each film set to follow one of the band members, Starr told The New York Times that he spent two days with the acclaimed director, offering "extensive notes" on the script about his life, especially when it came his relationship with his family and first wife, Maureen Starkey Tigrett. "He had a writer — very good writer, great reputation, and he wrote it great, but it had nothing to do with Maureen and I," Starr said. "That's not how we were. I'd say, 'We would never do that.'" Starr, who will be portrayed in the film by Saltburn actor Barry Keoghan, wed Tigrett in 1965 and divorced a decade later. They had three children together, including former The Who drummer Zak Starkey, son Jason, and daughter Lee. After going through the script line-by-line, Starr said he is now satisfied with how he's depicted — but has some doubts about Mendes' ability to deliver all four films by 2028. "But he'll do what he's doing," Starr concluded. "And I'll send him peace and love.' In May, Mendes took the stage at CinemaCon with the four actors set to star in his unconventional biopic project: along with Keoghan as Starr, fans will see Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison. Mendes said in his announcement that the separate films would enable the examination of the "four very different human beings" in the group. Penned by Tony Award winner Jez Butterworth (Ford v Ferrari, Spectre), Academy Award winner Peter Straughan (Conclave, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) and Tony Award winner Jack Thorne (Adolescence, Enola Holmes), all four films are set to hit theaters simultaneously in April 2028. Half a year before Mendes' announcement, Starr accidentally confirmed rumors that Keoghan would be playing him, calling the casting choice "great." He added, "I think he's somewhere taking drum lessons, and I hope not too many." As for Keoghan, the actor later shared that he had not only met with Starr but watched the legendary musician in his element. "I met him at his house, and he played the drums for me," the actor told Jimmy Kimmel in May. "He asked me to play, but I wasn't playing the drums for Ringo."Keoghan shared that he was starstruck in Starr's presence, but made sure to take it all in: "My job is to observe and kinda take in mannerisms and study him. I want to humanize him and bring feelings to it and not just sort of imitate." Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Sydney Sweeney Makes Love Life Decision Amid Tom Brady Rumors
By all accounts, Sydney Sweeney enjoyed herself at the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Naples, Italy over the weekend. Sweeney, 27, who called off her engagement to longtime partner Jonathan Davino earlier this year, was reportedly the center of attention for some of the single men in attendance, including A-list actor Orlando Bloom and NFL legend Tom Brady. The Euphoria star was reportedly spotted chatting and dancing with Brady during the reception Friday night, and she, Bloom and Brady were seen taking a walk together in Venice on Saturday. However, while the internet may have been running wild with thoughts of Sweeney dating one of these leading men, a new report from TMZ says the Anyone but You actress is happily single. "Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the actress is very much single despite the swirling speculation after she was seen spending time on a stroll through the streets of Venice, Italy with both Bloom and Brady," TMZ wrote. We're told the "Euphoria" star is focused on her career and enjoying life, with romance not being a priority right now." Sweeney and Davino had been in a relationship for several years and were scheduled to get married in May. However, the couple reportedly split in January, and a short time later, officially called off their nuptials. In March, a source told PEOPLE Sweeney was "overwhelmed" by the relationship and "didn't feel right" about marrying Davino. "She's not ready to settle down," the PEOPLE source said. "They only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off. They didn't split because there is no love. They split because she just wants to focus on her career right now." The source added that Sweeney was "right where she wants to be." "Most people would feel overwhelmed by her working schedule this year, but not Syd. She's all about working right now and very excited about all her projects," the source said. Sydney Sweeney Makes Love Life Decision Amid Tom Brady Rumors first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 1, 2025

New Details For ADVENTURE TIME: FIONNA AND CAKE Season 2 Reveal a Return to 'Normal, But It's Still Pretty Strange" — GeekTyrant
The Land of Ooo is stirring again, though maybe not in the way fans expect. At this year's Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake took the spotlight alongside some of Cartoon Network's heaviest hitters. While the event didn't drop a new trailer or premiere date for Season 2, it did reveal some interesting details about what's coming next for the gender-swapped duo. Showrunner Adam Muto was on hand to preview the future of the series, and while the footage shown hasn't made its way online yet, Muto confirmed a shift in direction from Season 1's multiverse-hopping madness. This time around, Fionna and Cake are staying put. or at least, sticking closer to Fionna's original universe. Muto explained: 'This time, we wanted to keep most of the adventures in Fiona's world and I thought that would make it more normal. But it's still pretty strange. And that's kind of baked into Adventure Time DNA.' Strange is definitely the vibe, and fans wouldn't have it any other way. It was also revealed that the show will see the return of Adventure Time's Huntress Wizard, who, if you remember, once had a romantic subplot with Finn in the original series. She's stepping into a major role in Season 2, though exactly how she'll interact with Fionna, Cake, and this slightly off-kilter version of 'normal' is still under wraps. It was also announced that Steven Universe creator Rebecca Sugar appeared in the crowd to announce that she wrote an original song for Season 2. Season 1 of Fionna and Cake took some wild swings with multiversal chaos, existential themes, and heart-tugging nostalgia. Now, Season 2 is shaping up to be a little more grounded, but no less surreal because let's be real, 'normal' in the Adventure Time universe is always going to be a little weird. And that's exactly how fans like it. Source: Variety
