Katie Couric called Lauren Sanchez, Jeff Bezos’ wife, “tacky” on the day of her wedding. This week, the billionaire couple celebrated their lavish wedding without incurring any expenses.

However, it appears that one journalist wasn’t all that impressed by the occasion because she described Lauren as “tacky.” Jack Schlossberg, a well-known author and the daughter of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Caroline Kennedy, became involved in Katie Couric’s final position.

This week’s wedding celebration in Venice, Italy, made it seem as though Schlossberg poked fun at Bezos and Sánchez. He reposted Lauren’s Vogue cover from last Friday, which featured her in a white wedding dress.

Like I said, “Vogue,” he wrote in the caption of the photo. In the snap, Lauren looked stunning while rocking her dress with long sleeves and a figure-hugging shape while smiling from ear to ear.

She fanned out at the knees before being hugged by floral lace. The bride was then cruelly called “tacky” in a cruel joke by Couric.

The world’s second richest man Jeff Bezos got married to with his long-term partner Lauren in Venice, Italy yesterday. The couple are husband and wife after they said their “I do’s” in an extravagant £48million ceremony surrounded by their famous friends and family – despite already having a smaller, legal ceremony beforehand.

Family and friends gathered at the ceremony, which lasted about 25 minutes, for the couple to exchange their vows. After saying “I do,” they were able to hear them cheer, clap, and whine.

The Kardashian-Jenners, Oprah Winfrey, and Leonardo DiCaprio were among the celebrities who accompanied the couple to their wedding. Rania Al Abdullah, the Queen of Jordan, and Ivanka Trump were also present.

Although the couple celebrated their engagement in Venice this week, it is believed that the couple actually got married a few weeks prior.

They have been married for at least a month, or more, according to an insider in charge of the event planning. The marriage was legally and legally recorded in America.

Although the source claimed that the celebrations this week are solely ceremonial, they were widely reported to be their wedding. They made it clear that they were already secretly married when they were planning the wedding, according to them.

Bezos himself confirmed the legal union, according to reports that he also mentioned how the pair had arranged a prenuptial agreement to protect his $244 billion fortune. Before the infamous celebration even started, Bezos and Sanchez reportedly got married privately in the United States.

Before things turned romantic, the pair had been friends for more than ten years before they started dating in 2007. From 2001 to 2006, Canet was wed to Diane Kruger.

The pair had previously collaborated on the 2003 dramatic comedy Love Me If You Dare. The couple also collaborated on the 2009 film The Last Flight while they were still together.

Their latest collaboration came earlier this year when Canet directed his partner in the upcoming film Karma, which is said to have reportedly finished shooting in May. Months earlier, Cotillard was seen walking the Berlin International Film Festival carpet alone.

Cotillard has appeared in a number of acclaimed French movies, but she gained fame by playing leading roles in major Hollywood motion pictures like Inception and The Dark Knight Rises.

Despite widespread speculation over the years, the couple never married or got engaged despite being married for 20 years. Six years later, they welcomed their daughter Louise and son Marcel with their first child.

Cotillard’s first significant relationship was with actor Julien Rassam before she started dating Canet. She worked as a director as well as a thespian Stephan Guerin-Tillie between 2000 and 2005.

Marion then began a two-year dated with French singer Mathieu Blanc-Francard before moving on to a nearly two-decade relationship with Canet.

Canet described her as the love of his life in a candid interview from 2011 about his partner. You move in a certain direction with someone, and then you awaken and declare, “She’s the love of my life.” He told the Guardian at the time, “I never saw it coming.”

“I need to be with someone who is searching and awake,” I said.

If there’s one new festival outfit to buy, it’s this one. Holly Willoughby was spotted wearing Free People’s vintage-inspired mini dress to Glastonbury this year.

From Kate Moss’ glitter micro mini dress to Alexa Chung’s signature denim shorts, there are plenty of iconic Glastonbury outfits that have become the blueprint for festival dressing. And now we can add Holly Willoughby to that list, as the presenter managed to snag the perfect dress for festival season.

The Lenna Set from Free People, which Holly paired with chunky brown boots, a western-inspired belt, and a matching brown fedora, was taken on Friday at Worthy Farm. The set’s loose, relaxed fit and lace details are ideal for creating a boho, vintage-style look that’s always popular at festivals, and the harder accessories add a little edge to it.

This summer, Michelle Keegan, Zara Tindall, and Meghan Markle all sport this one accessory.

Fans beg for details about Millie Mackintosh’s date night look. READ MORE: Shop her exact suede cowboy boots.

The Lenna Set, which was reportedly priced at £158, includes two pieces, both of which are cropped lace jackets and flowing white mini dresses, both of which were inspired by vintage bedroom sets from the past. You can wear both pieces with almost anything else in your wardrobe, which will save you time and space on your festival packing list.

GLASTONBURY, ENGLAND - JUNE 27: Holly Willoughby during day three of Glastonbury festival 2025 at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 27, 2025 in Glastonbury, England. Established by Michael Eavis in 1970, Glastonbury has grown into the UK's largest music festival, drawing over 200,000 fans to enjoy performances across more than 100 stages. In 2026, the festival will take a fallow year, a planned pause to allow the Worthy Farm site time to rest and recover. (Photo by Samir Hussein/WireImage)

The mini dress is made of soft, comfortable crepe satin and features a retro shift silhouette, adjustable straps, and a V-neckline. The relaxed, slightly A-line fit allows it to skim over your body for a comfortable and flattering fit thanks to the vintage look of the lace paneling around the neckline.

The matching lace jacket maintains the vintage boho look despite the fact that the dress from the Lenna Set can be styled with anything, from a denim jacket to an oversized leather jacket for a more edgy appearance. You can leave the front tie closure open or fasten, along with a rounded neckline and a little bit of volume in the jacket’s short, puffed sleeves.

Holly apparently chose the shade “summer shower,” which is a crisp, clean white, when she wore the two together. It also comes in four other colors, including brown, black, dusky pink, and a cream shade, which is a more softer shade than the stark white one.

This $ 35.99 Reclaimed Vintage Mini Lingerie Cami Tea Dress from ASOS, which has a similar silhouette and lace details, but does not include the lace jacket, is an even more affordable option for Holly’s dress. We also adore H&amp’s $54.99 Embroidery-Detail Playsuit, which features a bonus of shorts to stop chafing in the heat but has the same vibe as Holly’s.

EastEnders legend Haluk Bilginer looks unrecognisable after making dramatic TV return

EastEnders’ early fans may not have known the actor who appeared in a BBC2 series decades later, but his social media profiles also show him in a different light.

Clair Norris, the star of EastEnders, was informed that her contract would not be renewed, leading to her character’s eight-year transition from Bernie Taylor. Oscar Branning will leave Albert Square after eight years of a sabbatical, with Pierre Moullier taking the part.

A character that writers Tony Holland and Julia Smith brought to the young soap by the audience who has already watched it will stick with them forever. Haluk Bilginer, who spent three unforgettable years in Albert Square, played Mehmet Osman.

At The Queen Vic pub, Mehmet and Ali Osman duoed and performed the lively Turkish song Oy Oy Emine. After attempting to kiss her, he was struck by Mary the Punk in another scene at the Vic. Unfortunately, when the writers left the show, both stars were abruptly cut out of the happenings in Albert Square.

While Nejdet’s acting career seemed to plateau after leaving EastEnders, Haluk’s didn’t. He continued acting and looked completely unrecognisable from his Walford days when he returned to TV in the starring role of The Turkish Detective. Stepping into the shoes of Detective Cetin Ikmen in the BBC2 series last July, he sported a bushy, grey beard and starred alongside Yasemin Allen, who played Cetin’s female counterpart, Detective Ayse Farsakoglu.

Haluk’s Instagram account also shows him in a completely different light to the young Mehmet from EastEnders. In one image, taken back in 2021, he has long, wild hair and the same grey beard, with a photo that he captioned: “IS BALLET A SPORT???” Another picture, taken just before Christmas last year, reveals him to be in New York, as he smilingly poses for a selfie on the streets with a group of people on the street.

The Turkish Detective was created for TV by American film company Miramax, and inspired by English author Barbara Nadel’s The Cetin Ikmen Crime Novels. While Nadel’s version stretches across 24 novels, the tale was condensed into eight episodes for viewers. Ethan Kai, recognised for his portrayal of Kasim in Emmerdale from 2016 to 2017 and his stint in BBC’s spy thriller Killing Eve, also joined the cast.

After EastEnders, Haluk has some impressive acting skills. He and his then-wife Zuhal Olcay were cast in the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles in 1992. They even built their own theater after returning to Turkey and staring in numerous movies there. Haluk made a comeback in 2009 with the American thriller The International, in which he reprised the role of dealer of high-tech missile guidance system dealer Ahmet Sunay.

The Leadmill closing is a ‘real worry’ says one of last bands to play at iconic venue

ExCLUSIVE: One of the last bands to play at Sheffield’s iconic The Leadmill has revealed their apprehensions about the music scene, claiming that the closure would mean generations losing “the place’s go.”

The Leadmill’s The Rosadocs

One of the last ever bands to grace the stage at Sheffield’s iconic The Leadmill have revealed their concern as the venue shuts its doors for one last time.

The region’s longest running live music venue and nightclub lost its battle to remain open earlier this year after 45 years in business. It has been the stomping ground for some of the biggest names in the industry, hosting the likes of Pulp, Coldplay, The Stone Roses, Oasis and The Arctic Monkeys over the years. The venue’s owners said they were “truly devastated” they were closing in a heartbreaking statement earlier this year.

However, the Rosadocs, an exciting indie rock band, have now called its closure a “real worry” for the grassroots of the industry as time passes. The Leadmill was used as a stepping stone to success by the band, which included Keelan Graney, Joe Egan, Adam Sleight, Callum Raynor, and Myles Henderson, who have since called it “the place to go” for generations.

Frontman Keelan stated, “I think the city is going to be really miss. We still wanted to go back, but I believe the history makes it more representative of the grassroots: it’s for people attending gigs.

Losing that is a major blow if you have somewhere to go where it’s almost a given that that’s where you go to see bands.

Drummer Callum continued, “Musicians and music fans in general are a real concern because of this closure. ” “Keelan continued” continues, “Grassroots is being hit from all sides right now.” Festivals are disappearing day after day.

“If we lose the infrastructure that provided these opportunities for artists, we’ll lose the music, we’ll lose the festivals, and we’ll lose everything,” he said.

The boys were enthralled to have one last performance for the fans at the venue earlier this month. Keelan remarked, “It was amazing.” One of the best shows we’ve ever produced is my opinion.

The venue’s closing and also the fact that it almost seemed like one last hurrah made it the perfect culmination of the mood. We really enjoyed it. From beginning to end, it bounced around. Because the songs were being sung back to us at a volume that was so loud, we couldn’t even hear ourselves.

Keyboard player Myles remarked about going back to the venue, “There’s still a feeling in the room.” Although I’m not sure what it is, playing there feels different.

The band’s future is very promising despite the fact that this performance is actually the end of an era. The City’s No Good for Reflection, a rising band from Sheffield, just released their most recent five-track collection.

In the Storm, a powerful and moving anthem of hope and emotional resilience, is one of the songs. Keelan mentioned the EP’s impressive range of songs in a release statement. The singer said, “We made an effort to say something about this theme in each track, to give it its own personality.”

And I believe it’s a good combination of ballads and an anthemic indie sound, as well as Bittersweet, the album’s opening track, which is a little more rocky.

The five tracks, according to Callum, are a perfect representation of what a fan would expect from a full band, with Myles stating that it’s a “same kind of journey” to how they would stage a live audience.

And speaking of their live shows – the group has a busy schedule of festivals this summer including Rock n Roll Circus and Hardwick Festival – Keelan said it’s their live presence that helps set them apart in the scene.

He said, “We like things to flow. We aim to make everyone jump and bounce. But I think it’s nice to have that interaction, and getting people to watch the show makes them feel more invested in it.
