Details about Jeff Bezos' partner Lauren Sánchez's lavish gift from the Kardashians spark outrage: 'This feels like a nightmare'
You might have heard about the joyride into the stratosphere that a group of celebrities took in April aboard a Blue Origin mission. As fast as photos of the "crew" of A-listers clothed in matching violet jumpsuits flooded the internet, the PR stunt turned into a nightmare, and it just keeps coming. Blue Origin is a space tourism company that is revolutionizing space travel. Though the flights do not go very far into space, they are considered a major first step toward future space exploration. However, many have criticized space tourism as a gluttonous waste of money — money that could make a considerable difference if used elsewhere. Though the crew safely returned with, presumably, a newfound respect for our planet. However, the rampant consumerism didn't end there. For surviving the mere 11-minute tour of the edge of space, Lauren Sánchez, billionaire Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' fiancée, was gifted a $7,000 purse from the Kardashians. Mariam Qayum of She Finds reported that the purse was a "dazzling Judith Leiber Couture UFO-shaped clutch. The statement piece, encrusted with baguette and geometric crystals, originally retailed for $6,995." The purse and the flight received the same backlash. According to She Finds, some of the reactions on social media included: "It's just all so tone deaf," "maybe just suggesting that money could've gone to better causes that are needed," and "that money could have been used to feed several families in need." A similar message resounds from the audience regarding the wasteful Blue Origin flight. As everyday members of society transform their lives to lessen the strain on Earth's resources, it can feel frustrating to see the world's most privileged do the opposite. "And to think that every time I throw away a toothbrush I still feel guilty for the unrecycled plastic," said one commenter on an Instagram post from Blue Origin. Billionaires emit a million times more carbon pollution than the average person, according to Oxfam. Between yachts, private jets, and the dirty energy companies that billionaires run and invest in. "This has to change. These billionaire investors at the top of the corporate pyramid have a huge responsibility for driving climate breakdown. They have escaped accountability for too long," said Danny Sriskandarajah, CEO of Oxfam. "This feels like a nightmare," summarized one flight critic on Instagram.

The £100,000 facelift that's knocked years off Kris Jenner at 69
Everybody loves a transformation story. Had Grease been written in 2025, however, Olivia Newton John would have had to do a lot more than shuck on a biker jacket and a pair of Spandex trousers to make an impact. In a world where billions are vying for attention by ever more desperate means, transformations are two a penny. These days, no diet, makeover or wardrobe glow-up in the world can compete with the impact of a really good facelift. We all know Ozempic can make us thin, and that a stylist can help us dress better. But turning back the years to look 10 years younger? That's still a mystery; a cloak-and-dagger affair whose dark magic occurs behind closed doors, by unknown hands, at unknown cost, with unknown pain and recovery time. Which is likely why so many women can talk of little else these days than Kris Jenner. From the cruise shows of Avignon and Rome to the restaurants of Mayfair to the beach bars of Ibiza, the chat is the same: how, exactly, did the 69-year-old matriarch of the Kardashian clan get her dewy, youthful, plump-yet-taut new visage? And where can we get one? While most women might buy some new clothes to wear to a hen weekend, Kris Jenner went out and bought a new face. When the hen weekend is thrown by Jeff Bezos' soon-to-be-bride Lauren Sanchez, and takes place in Paris, perhaps a Me+Em dress doesn't cut it. No matter that Sanchez, Katy Perry, Eva Longoria and Kim Kardashian were dressed up in their finest garb: they may as well have worn Shein. All eyes were fixated upon Jenner. 'She looks just like Kim!' the internet exclaimed. Which she did – despite being a quarter of a century older. On Tiktok, the hashtag #krisjennernewface has been trending ever since Jenner unveiled her new look, with 57.5 million posts and counting. How-to videos abound, with everyone from surgeons to influencers to your auntie Karen chipping in with their opinions. 'She looks like she's fresh out of the womb,' says the influencer GK Barry, in a post that's had 468.9K views. 'What kind of freaky sorcery is this?' says another user. 'Who is this surgeon, because they are an artist.' The 'artist' in question is Dr Steven Levine, the New York-based surgeon beloved by A-listers for his natural-looking facial enhancements. In a statement shared by Page Six, Levine's representatives confirmed him as the surgeon behind Jenner's most recent work, though they didn't give further details about the procedures. Which hasn't stopped people from speculating. While most celebrities are understandably tight-lipped about the work they've had done, Jenner has previously been open about going under the knife, with one of her procedures even being documented on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. It's believed that this is Jenner's fifth surgery: as for what she's had done, that depends on who you ask. 'To achieve this sort of transformation in someone who is in their late 60s would likely require a deep plane face and neck lift, blepharoplasty and fat grafting to address lower face jowling and laxity in the neck area,' claims Dr Jonny Betteridge, founder of JB Aesthetics in Mayfair, London. 'This is likely revision surgery, as she would have had surgery in previous years.' According to leading plastic surgeon Patrick Mallucci, Jenner's rejuvenated face has made an impact on account of being unusually well-balanced. 'Looking at her before and after pictures, it appears she's had a brow lift, possibly her upper eyelids operated on, and a very well-done facelift, possibly a deep plane, though it's very difficult to tell the technique by looking at a picture,' he surmises. 'When you look at the thirds of her face – the upper, middle and lower – she's got a very nice, balanced jawline. Unlike some of the facelifts of 20 years ago, where people looked very obviously overpulled and overtightened, this really brings out her good features.' Mallucci's clinic in South Kensington, London, has seen a 30 per cent increase in facelift enquiries over the last five years, as the stigma of 'going under the knife' wanes, and procedures improve in terms of results and recovery time. 'While non-surgical treatments can complement face lifting and stave off the knife until later, ultimately there comes a time when only a facelift can truly rejuvenate an ageing face requiring anatomical improvement,' he says. The 'Rolls Royce' of these is the deep plane. Where a traditional facelift tightens the skin, a deep plane lifts and repositions deeper layers of facial tissue, including sagging muscles and fat, allowing for more natural-looking results which are also longer-lasting. A traditional facelift typically lasts five to seven years: a deep plane can last for up to fifteen. Their subtle results have made 'guess the deep plane' the internet's favourite parlour game, with Nicole Kidman, Anne Hathaway and Lindsey Lohan all recently being cited as allegedly having had the procedure, though this is pure speculation. For her part, Lohan says her appearance is thanks to a healthy diet and laser treatments. Celebrities who have admitted to having deep plane facelifts include the socialite Caroline Stanbury (who had hers aged 49) and the designer Marc Jacobs (who had his at 58). 'There is no such thing as an ideal age for a deep plane facelift, but over the age of 40-45 would generally make a great candidate,' notes the consultant plastic surgeon Mark Solomos. 'You can actually do a deep plane endoscopic facelift at the age of 35 without any obvious scars in front of the ear.' Nor does any previous work tend to be a barrier. 'The only things that would matter would be treatments such as Sculptra. Hyaluronic fillers don't matter too much unless you've overdone it, likewise excessive radio frequency, which tends to burn the fat and creates problems in the subcutaneous tissue.' As for whether 'the Kris effect' means surgeons should now be braced for a wave of clients wanting to look not 10 but 30 years younger than their age, Dr Mallucci believes that managing expectations is key. 'It's very important that I understand what it is that my patients are looking for, but it's equally important that I communicate to them what's realistically achievable. Promising results which are not surgically achievable serves no purpose and only causes disappointment.' And also a depleted bank balance. While a deep plane facelift typically costs between £25,000 – £60,000, it's estimated that the bill for Kris Jenner's work cost in the region of £100,000. Small change for the world's most successful 'momager', but a prohibitively eye-watering amount for most. When your life is lived through a long lens, in the pressure cooker that is Hollywood, it takes more than 'lots of water' to look your best. For better or for worse, the six figure facelift era starts here.

Kris Jenner, 69, looks half her age as she shows off new face after selling wardrobe to fit her slimmer figure
Kris Jenner looked exceptionally youthful as she stepped out for a shopping spree on Friday — just days after debuting a striking new facelift that left fans doing double takes. The Kardashian matriarch, 69, turned heads last week when she was mistaken for daughter Kim Kardashian after unveiling her refreshed face while in Paris for Kim's armed robbery trial. Her rep later confirmed she enlisted the skills of celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Steven M. Levine — dubbed the 'facelift maestro' — to achieve her new look. On Friday, Kris flaunted her age-defying appearance on the outskirts of Los Angeles, beaming during a bout of retail therapy. Dressed in her signature style — a sleek dark pinstriped suit — she looked elegant, polished, and decades younger. The outing comes after exclusively revealed the momager was clearing out her size 10 designer wardrobe after slimming down to a size 6. A source told 'Kris is no longer a size 10 so she has no need for those clothes, she is a size 6 these days and thrilled about it. It's the same size that she was in the 1980s. 'Her closet is completely different now — the items are so much smaller — and it makes her very happy to get back to the body that she had in her younger years.' While Jenner hasn't publicly shared how she lost the weight, fans speculate it may be due to taking Ozempic. The momager has always credited her lean figure to healthy eating, careful calorie tracking, and daily workouts at the gym. Jenner's fans have been remarking on her glowing and youthful appearance in recent sightings and social media posts. Last Saturday they did a double take after hairstylist Chris Stapleton shared a series of photos of the reality star on social media. The Kardashians star, who was in Paris to support daughter Kim Kardashian as she testified about being the victim of a brutal armed robbery, looked remarkably like her second-oldest daughter in the new pics. The reality TV star has listed a number of bigger pieces - some are size large and a few XL - on her Kardashian Kloset website Jenner's fans have been remarking on her glowing and youthful appearance in recent sightings and social media posts 'Just a Kris Jenner appreciation post,' Stapleton wrote on Instagram on Friday. 'I thought that was Kim posing as Kris at first… for the first photo,' claimed one amazed fan. 'Thought that was Kim! She looks INCREDIBLE' exclaimed another. Fans have also been begging Kris to name her doctor. 'Dont be shy, I needa know who to go to in 30 more years,' one wrote on a recent Instagram snap of Jenner. 'Who's your doctor???? AMAZING,' another added. 'The doctor deserves an award! Wow!' Fans have been begging Kris to name her doctor. 'Dont be shy, I needa know who to go to in 30 more years,' one wrote on a recent Instagram snap of Jenner 'The fountain of youth. I want some of the water she's drinking.' Many also compared Kris' youthful appearance to Lindsay Lohan's recent transformation. 'What in the Lindsay Lohan is going on here,' one wrote. 'She got the Lindsay Lohan,' another added. Lohan, 38, has never admitting to having surgery, but has credited her gorgeous skin to her dermatologist in Dubai. Though Kris has not specified what work she's had done with Dr. Levine, it wouldn't mark her first time going under the knife. In 2011, a terrified Kris was filmed being wheeled in for a facelift on her reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Jenner was 55-years-old at the time, and going under the knife a month prior her daughter Kim's wedding to NBA star Kris Humprhies. Video footage of Kris before and after surgery was published on the E! website. It shows Kris in tears as she sits in the waiting room surrounded by her children. 'I don't want to die,' the nervous star said. After she recovered from the operation, Kim assured her the results were already positive. 'Mom, you look fab,' she said. 'So gorgeous.' Jenner also previously admitted she had a breast augmentation in the '80s after having four kids, but later revised the procedure for 'smaller' implants and a 'lift.' Her earlobe surgery was also featured on Keeping Up with the Kardashians back in 2018. The star has also had 'Botox and fillers and lasers and things like that.' Many fans previously called out the star for filtering her social media photos and creating 'unreal beauty expectations.'

EXCLUSIVE Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's star-studded Italian wedding threatened by furious protesters in Venice
Jeff Bezos and 's extravagant Italian wedding is still weeks away - yet it's already rocking the boat in Venice, where furious locals say their home is being 'held hostage' by the 'richest and most dangerous man in the world.' The couple's highly-anticipated nuptials are set to take place the weekend of June 24 in the Floating City, much to the frustration of Venetians who have accused the billionaire of turning their home into a 'playground' for the ultra-wealthy - and are now planning protests to push back. The Amazon founder, 61, is reportedly taking over the island of San Giorgio Maggiore for the wedding day itself, fully booking up five luxury hotels and every water taxi in Venice. A-list celebrities, politicians, and business leaders are expected to attend, which will mean beefed-up security, closed streets and airspace, and a strong police presence, just as Venice's peak tourist season gets underway. With an eye-popping price tag of $10million and a star-studded guest list that includes the Kardashians, actress Eva Longoria, and pop star Katy Perry - who all attended Sanchez's bachelorette party in Paris earlier this month - the wedding promises to opulence on overdrive. While President Donald Trump isn't expected to make an appearance, his children Ivanka and Don Jr are set to attend with their respective partners, husband Jared Kushner and new girlfriend Bettina Anderson. Guests are likely to land at nearby airports in gas-guzzling private planes - Bezos owns four Gulfstream jets - although the 61-year-old can't dock his $500million superyacht Koru as it's too big to anchor anywhere close to Venice. The massive carbon footprint of Bezos and his loaded guests will irk locals further, as Venice is blighted with polluted canals and mass tourism is destroying the fragile lagoon the city sits in. The Laboratorio Occupato Morion - a self-described 'anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, anti-racist and trans-feminist political space' - is already planning on hosting a protest event in the city on Friday at its social center, a short walk from the historic St. Mark's Square. The group has already begun advertising the protest online - sharing a flyer with an image of Bezos' head atop a rocket alongside the slogan: 'No space for Bezos, No space for oligarchs!' 'Jeff Bezos thinks he can buy the entire city - let's throw him a party!', the flyer reads, alongside details of Friday's demonstration. A lengthy adjoining caption reads : 'Venice is transformed into yet another playground for billionaires, while those who live it every day are left with discomfort, exclusion and precariousness.' It further adds: 'From the Security Decree, to the right to work and home, to the refusal of a city being shut down and mercified to celebrate the wedding of one of the most influential, richest – and most dangerous – men on the planet. 'There's no room for oligarchs, their private parties and their dirty money. 'See you on Friday 30th of May at Morion to exchange ideas, reflections, discuss and organize together about the hospitality we want to reserve for those who think they can make this city and the whole world what they want.' Laboratorio Occupato Morion spokesperson Alice Bazzoli told that the event is just the start and will culminate in a 'big demonstration' on the actual wedding day. 'Tomorrow will mark the first public assembly, an open call to citizens, grassroots movements, and associations to organize demonstrations during Jeff Bezos' stay in Venice for his luxurious wedding,' she said. 'We plan to have lots of different small actions in the week before the wedding and to converge in a big demonstration on the day of the wedding. 'During this period, the city will be held hostage by one of the world's richest men, becoming heavily militarized and deprived of its spaces and services. Bezos has rented an entire island, numerous hotels, taxis, and services to host his party and guests. 'This will exacerbate the already problematic movement around the city, particularly with the onset of the tourist season. 'Some areas will be inaccessible or heavily controlled, while the influx of tourists, journalists, wedding staff, and police will further strain the city. 'We cannot accept the presence of such a character in our city, which has a strong anti-fascist tradition, and rejects oligarchs who support authoritarian governments, such as Trump's USA. 'Bezos embodies what this city and global movements have been fighting against for decades - a financial and technological oligarchy that exploits workers, the planet, and controls entire territories and populations.' The group is already furious with the city's mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, who is under investigation for corruption for multi-million euro kickbacks from favored developers, which has resulted in one top official going to jail. Laboratorio Occupato Morion spokesperson Alice Bazzoli (pictured) told that Friday's protest will culminate in a 'big demonstration' on the actual wedding day Last month, Brugnaro confirmed the Bezos wedding would be in Venice, adding: 'We are mutually working and supporting the organizers, to ensure that the event will be absolutely respectful of the fragility and uniqueness of the city.' But Bazzoli says Brugnaro's words are hot air - and that he's sold the city out to Bezos. She adds: 'We aim to create a space for discussion and action, which we feel is urgently needed. 'Everyone in Venice, from locals to entrepreneurs, university students, and families, is discussing the event, and outrage is widespread, particularly towards our administration, led by Mayor Luigi Brugnaro, who is currently on trial for corruption. 'He has sold parts of the city to investors linked to his private interests, just as he did with Bezos.'

Big breasts, curves and plump, juicy lips. How Kylie Jenner's 'slim thick' body became the ideal of female beauty - as more young women transform into cartoonish cyborgs: FARRAH STORR
It is one of the most famous physiques in the world, with high-hoisted breasts, a round, almost cartoonish bottom, and a waist so small it looks as though it has passed through a funhouse mirror. But whatever you think of Kylie Jenner 's body – and there are lots of thoughts about it – it is one of the most influential ideals of female beauty in the world right now.
