EXCLUSIVE: LAUREN SÁNCHEZ ENDS $20 MILLION WEDDING WITH BUDGET FLIP-FLOP FIASCO
It was the kind of wedding that made royals look basic — until the final “gift bag” moment had guests choking on their Bellinis.
Sources tell #ShuterScoop that Jeff Bezos played prince charming, handing out velvet ViBi Venezia slippers to his male guests — soft, luxurious, and very ciao bella. But when it came time for the ladies’ turn? Lauren Sánchez stunned the crowd by handing out black open-toe Amazon slides. Yes. Slides. From his website.
“I thought it was a gag,” whispered one guest. “Like an inside joke between billionaires.” But it wasn’t. “It was like getting merch from a corporate retreat,” said another. “We flew to Venice for a clearance-bin moment.”
Fashion insiders were not amused. “You don’t wrap up a $20 million weekend with cheap sandals,” scoffed one Vogue staffer. “It’s giving QVC in couture.”
The mood shifted from giggles to grimaces. “It felt like a product placement,” muttered one society gal. “Like she’s launching Lauren by Amazon next week.”
Still, others were more amused than offended. “Of course Lauren turned a wedding into a soft launch,” joked one guest.
Bottom line? Bezos brought the luxury. Lauren brought the algorithm.
EXCLUSIVE: KATIE COURIC TAKES A SWING AT LAUREN — AND MISSES
She wasn’t invited to the most talked-about wedding of the year — so she crashed the party from the comments section.
Katie Couric, former morning show queen and current Instagram critic, raised eyebrows when she publicly mocked Lauren Sánchez’s Vogue wedding cover. “Welcome to the eighties,” she wrote. “Apparently tacky is back.”
But insiders tell #ShuterScoop this wasn’t about fashion — it was about feelings.
“She’s jealous,” said one source. “Katie wasn’t even on the B-list. She’s not in the Bezos orbit, and that stings.”
The jab came after JFK Jr.’s nephew Jack Schlossberg posted the same cover with his own wink-wink roast. Couric jumped on the bandwagon, but instead of applause, she caught flack.
“She’s acting like a Real Housewife — without a show,” one industry vet sniffed. “Trolling to stay relevant.”
Another insider went further: “Lauren’s on private jets. Katie’s in the comments. Says it all.”
As for Lauren? She's too busy sipping vintage champagne in post-nuptial bliss — and likely hasn’t seen the comments. Or cared.
EXCLUSIVE: ORLANDO BLOOM TRIES TO TURN VENICE INTO A ROM-COM
Orlando Bloom walked into Venice single and stunning — and left with… nothing but a few staged photo ops and a bruised ego.
Insiders at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s lavish Italian wedding tell #ShuterScoop that Bloom worked the room like a man with a mission: Make Katy Perry Jealous. Spoiler alert? She didn’t blink.
“He was turning up the charm with anyone holding a camera,” one guest observed. “Flirting with Kim K, cozy with Dasha Zhukova, then all wrapped around some mystery girl during a thunderstorm boat ride? Please.”
Sources say it was all textbook post-breakup posturing. “He wanted headlines. He got… shoulder shrugs.”
In the court of public opinion? Orlando’s performance felt like a try-hard audition. Katy? Untouchable.
“She’s not giving him the satisfaction,” said the source. “Which is exactly why she’s winning.”

Bezos picked up the tab, reportedly 7 figures for all the guests' hotels at the most exclusive spots, with all the food and catering and frolicking aboard his 500 million dollar yacht paid for, with helicopter service and jet skies, water toys etc...,...and they're mad at the flip flops? LOL
