Gayle King's return to CBS sparks uproar after controversial attendance at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez wedding
Gayle King returned to CBS Mornings on Monday after she controversially attended the multi-million dollar wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez last week. The host, 70, was back on the network show alongside colleagues Tony Dokoupil and Nate Burleson, with the trio presenting the latest headlines from the devastating floods in Texas. Gayle's appearance comes days after she was spotted in Venice, Italy, with good pal Oprah Winfrey for the Amazon founder's lavish nuptials. Taking to social media, some viewers were less than impressed to see Gayle back on their screens and voiced their disappointment. On Instagram, one said: 'Used to be a huge fan of Gayle, but no more. Just go hang out with your billionaire friends and ruin the earth.' 'You were so genuine and now you're becoming just too much,' sniped another. 'And she's back from the fancy wedding,' said a third. Over on X, formerly Tiwtter, another continued: 'Gayle King is back to CBS Mornings after attending the Robber Barron's wedding. I'm surprised how mad and disappointed in her I am.' A fifth added: 'Guess I've fallen into the trap of thinking she was partially in the news business when she was really in the entertainment and Gayle business.' Last month, Gayle travelled to Venice for the divisive wedding of Amazon tycoon Jeff and his new wife, Lauren. She was one of hundreds of celebrity guests at the extravagant big day, which also included Kim Kardashian and Sydney Sweeney. Gayle was spotted with her pal Oprah waving at the crowd as they boarded a boat that brought them to the behind-the-scenes bash from the Venice Marco Polo Airport on June 25. The two were seen again leaving the Gritti Palace Hotel together on June 27, before being whisked away again. The celebrations kicked off June 26 and lasted until Saturday, June 29, with Lauren and Jeff renting out a number of locales to ring the occasion. During coverage of the wedding, a CBS News reporter called out the wedding as 'performative' — despite Gayle's attendance. Reporting live from Venice for CBS Mornings, correspondent Seth Doane delivered a pointed summary of the over-the-top nuptials and their celebrity guest list. 'Guests, many bold-faced names, shuttled around in boats. Lots and lots of boats,' Doane offered of the Venice setting. 'Representing media, Oprah, and yes, our own Gayle King; tech, Bill Gates; sports, Tom Brady; fashion - that's Tommy Hilfiger - and film,' he added, as footage rolled of King boarding a chauffeured boat alongside close friend Oprah Winfrey. 'Some of the 200 invited were in a category all their own. There was a performative aspect to some of this. 'Even if not everyone got their shot,' he continued, as images of other stars like Kim Kardashian accompanied the report. 'Not much came from the ceremony itself,' Doane added, saying the event left 'some questioning whether we were seeing another gilded age on gaudy display.' He added: 'Protesters were decrying Amazon's impact on jobs and small business here in Italy and calling out inequality and elitism. The CBS Mornings host's appearance at the wedding comes after she joined Lauren on the divisive Blue Origin space mission 'Some used the attention to lament high housing costs, damage from over-tourism, and just the excess of it all.' Gayle's controversial friendship with Lauren was cemented in May when the duo jetted off to space on Jeff's Blue Origin rocket for 11 minutes, along with Katy Perry, Kerianne Flynn, Aisha Bowe, and Amanda Nguyễn. The trip ignited a media storm and was branded a publicity stunt and a 'gluttonous' display of wealth by critics, who additionally said the mission lacked purpose. At the time, Gayle hit back at critics during an interview with People and told the publication that anyone 'criticizing it doesn't really understand what is happening here.' 'We can all speak to the response we're getting from young women from young girls about what this represents,' the journalist told the publication in defense of the mission.

Underwater archaeologist James Delgado reveals the stories behind history's most haunting shipwrecks
Renowned underwater archaeologist James Delgado appeared on "CBS Mornings" on Friday to discuss his new book, "The Great Museum of the Sea," and reflect on more than 50 years of searching for historic shipwrecks around the world. Delgado, who has investigated more than 100 shipwrecks globally, gained international attention in 2019 when he discovered the Clotilda, the last known slave ship to arrive in the United States. The discovery was later featured in a "60 Minutes" segment with Anderson Cooper. The archaeologist's fascination with shipwrecks began in childhood while growing up in the San Francisco Bay area, where he learned about ships from the 1849 Gold Rush. He said locating shipwrecks requires extensive preparation. "It takes a team. And that team includes oceanographers, people that understand currents. We're also looking at old records and charts. You're also trying to understand the forensics of it," he said. The process involves analyzing factors like ship speed and sailing patterns. Once located, the wrecks often don't match popular expectations. "We have great images that people think of as shipwrecks, but there are a pile of rockets and timber and anchor, and then you go, all right, what exactly am I looking at here," he said. In his book, Delgado describes the sea as "the largest museum on Earth" and argues that every shipwreck has a story to tell. "I think the most important thing for people to remember about shipwrecks is that it's okay for them to have different meanings," Delgado said. "Some people like them because they inspire you with the stories of bravery. Others are tragic and sad. For some, they're the graves of family. But for others, they're a great opportunity to dive and to explore." The archaeologist has also explored the Titanic, describing the experience as overwhelming despite the ship's fame. "Nothing prepares you for seeing 'Titanic,'" he said. After a 2.5-hour descent in a Russian submersible, with pressure so intense that "a regular styrofoam coffee cup gets squeezed down" when strapped to the outside, Delgado said the anticipation suddenly disappeared when the ship appeared. "There it was looming out of the darkness," he recalled. "This massive hull rising twice as high as the ceiling here. Still painted but streaked with rust and rusticles that are orange and yellow and red. And then a porthole that's open and another closed." Delgado described one particularly eerie moment: "One of the spookiest moments — because 'Titanic' is a ship of the dead — is when I first looked through the porthole, 2.5 miles down, the lights — I could see a face looking back at me in the porthole. It was my own reflection." He reflected on the ship's enduring power: "This ship sitting on the bottom ruined and deteriorating still is the stage upon which some of the most powerful drama played out that we all know about with the shipwreck. And you're there." "The Great Museum of the Sea" is available wherever books are sold.

Former NFL player Corey Parchman addresses male infertility in new book
Former NFL player Corey Parchman appeared on "CBS Mornings" Wednesday to discuss his new book "IVF Playbook for Men," sharing his personal experience with infertility and advocating for greater awareness of male fertility issues. Parchman, now a real estate developer, wrote the book after struggling to find resources for men going through infertility treatments. At least 30% of infertility cases are related to male factors, yet men are less likely to discuss the issue or seek support. "As I went through the process, there was nothing out there for men that were going through the process," Parchman said. "There's a ton of information for women, and it should be, because women carry 99% of the load ... So I wanted to create this book as a resource for men." Parchman and his wife, Elisha, endured five IVF cycles over two-and-a-half years, including multiple miscarriages, before welcoming their son. He described receiving the initial diagnosis of male factor infertility as shocking. "I asked the doctor to do a recheck. You're not talking about me, are you?" Parchman recalled. "It's a shock because as you grow up you think this is the process of having kids. It's as simple as ABC.'" The former athlete said he felt like he was being "the weakest link on the team," and worried he had let his partner down. Throughout the process, he struggled with feeling sidelined during a time when he wanted to be actively involved. "I'm a person that's a fixer. I fix things. This situation I had to sit back and put the faith in my doctors and my wife," he explained. "Once you get out of your own way and realize it's not about you, it's about your family, the process becomes easier." Parchman said there's an importance of open communication between partners during fertility treatments. He and his wife created what he called a "safe space" where they could express their feelings without judgment. The book also addresses how to handle well-meaning but often misguided advice from friends and family. Parchman advised giving people grace while recognizing that their suggestions may not be helpful. "I had friends tell me, 'Eat three eggs and spin around and jump,'" he said. "Thanks for the advice, but I'm listening to the doctors." Beyond becoming a father, Parchman said the IVF journey transformed his understanding of masculinity. He now advocates for men to be more vulnerable and open about their struggles. "It's being vulnerable, creating a space to express how you feel with your partner or friends," he said. "I want to speak out and tell men it's okay to speak out about your feelings and thoughts because we all have them." "IVF Playbook for Men" is available now.
