Damn is that the same chick?
That's the same lady? 😳
She went from looking normal to looking like a blow up doll. Guess dating athletes is healthier than dating billionaires.
She looks a bit…different
So much better looking with Gonz!

That woman is scary looking
She looks like a mannequin
Tony definitely had her better days
She used to be attractive
You'd think one of the world's richest men would know a competent plastic surgeon. Guess not...
Finally, some comments cleared the air of confusion for everyone:
That's two different women😭. In the picture with Tony is his now wife October.
That's not even the same woman. My goodness.

Internet Asks If Jeff Bezos' Wedding Invitation ‘Was Made In MS Paint?'
Last Updated: A picture of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding invitation card has gone viral on the internet. While Venice has been largely preparing for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's multi-million-dollar wedding plans, eyes are now set on the couple's not-so-grand invitation card. There might be a lot of ways to invite people to something special, like a wedding; the world had a lot of expectations when it came from the third richest person in the world. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding invitation card did come as a surprise for many, but not as anticipated. A picture of the invite has recently gone viral, grabbing a lot of attention on the internet. Printed in italic font with haphazard decorations of doves, shooting stars, butterflies, and even the Rialto Bridge, the card appears to be homemade; however, not in an artistic way. The card also features men rowing gondolas around the famed bridge. What appears to be a subtle nod to the city's culture and heritage failed to impress the internet, as many expressed their disappointment. Users strongly criticised the invitation for being 'flat," further stating that the expectations were much higher, owing to the billionaire's wedding budget. One wrote, 'This invitation looks like an 11-year-old made it," while another one joked, 'Was the invitation made in Microsoft Paint?" One of the users even recreated a similar card and added a hilarious message, which he claimed took only 15 minutes. I recreated this masterpiece in Microsoft Paint in 15 minutes. — Whody (@Mr_Incredi_Bull) June 25, 2025 'What a heartless invite. Seems like a business dinner for donors," a comment read. An unimpressed X user wrote, 'This was the best their wedding planner came up with? My goodness, Lisa Vanderpump's daughter from Housewives did better than this for her wedding." Referring to the 'gifts" part in the invite, a user commented, 'The donation is very generous, but the invitation itself is not what I would expect from a billionaire." I don't know, it looks like clip art." Bezos and Sanchez's wedding invite features a special message for the guests, as the couple asked them not to bring gifts. 'We are making contributions in your honour and with gratitude to you for making the journey to celebrate with us in Venice. Donations on your behalf are being made to the UNESCO Venice Office to safeguard the city's cultural heritage, to CORILA to restore the vital lagoon habitats that protect Venice's future, and to Venice International University to support research and education for sustainable solutions." Amid the growing buzz surrounding the wedding, the Amazon founder and his fiancée have already landed in Venice. They are said to get hitched later this week.

Leonardo DiCaprio and his Italian model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti are also likely to attend the wedding, PEOPLE reported. Besides Hollywood A-listers, Mr Bezos and Ms Sanchez's family members, including their seven children from their previous marriages, will be at the gathering. Ms Sanchez has three children (Evan Whitesell, Ella Whitesell, and Nikko Gonzalez), while the Amazon founder has four. But not everyone is happy in Venice over the multi-day wedding. Residents and activists have voiced their disapproval of Mr Bezos and Ms Sanchez's extravagant wedding preparations, claiming they were disruptive to the city's ongoing fight against overtourism.

Director Sofia Coppola doesn't "like violent films", praises old cowboy movies
In an era of action cinema, the 'Lost in Translation' director, Sofia Coppola , says that she doesn't prefer watching "overdone" violent films as it is quite "upsetting" for her, reported Variety. While speaking at a masterclass at the Biarritz' Nouvelles Vagues Festival, as quoted by Variety, Coppola explained her lack of affinity for the action cinema. She said that watching violence in cinema "upsets" her due to the gun violence in the US, her birthplace. "There's so much gun violence in my country. It's really hard to see [those] movies. Old cowboys are cool, but just the way [violence] is overdone now is upsetting," said Sofia as quoted by Variety. Coppola, who flew from New York to be the guest of honor at the third edition of Nouvelles Vagues Festival in the picturesque south-western town of Biarritz, cited Martin Scorsese as a filmmaker whose movies have violence that serves a narrative purpose, reported Variety. "I love Scorsese, so there are moments for it," she said, adding that "violent themes can be interesting or insinuating. But really, gory, not so much for me," as quoted by Variety. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo At the masterclass, the director also reminded us about her childhood, her early passion for fashion, photography and the making of 'The Virgin Suicides'. She said a male director was initially developing the adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides's novel "The Virgin Suicides" before she came on board and had a much different take on the book, reported Variety. "When I read the book, I loved it, and I heard that a guy was going to make it. He was going to make it very dark and sexual. I was like, 'That's not how I see it. I hope they don't make it like that," said Sofia Coppola as quoted by Variety. The director shared that she started adapting a few chapters to "learn how you adapt a book into a screenplay," and later on, when she felt confident enough, she asked the producers to consider her script "if it didn't work out with the guy they had," she said, reported Variety. Eventually, Coppola directed the film, which world premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1999 and became a cult classic.
