Corey Gamble's Surprise Arrival at Venice Wedding Sparks Buzz!
WEDDING OF THE CENTURY: BEzos and Sanchez Tie the Knot in Venice - And Kris Jenner's Boyfriend Corey Gamble is Front Row Center!
The city of love, romance, and drama is abuzz as billionaire Jeff Bezos and his bride-to-be Lauren Sanchez prepare to say "I do" in a lavish three-day ceremony in Venice, Italy. And, surprise, surprise, Kris Jenner's longtime beau Corey Gamble has flown in to join the A-list festivities!
The 44-year-old talent manager, who has been dating the 69-year-old momager since August 2014, arrived in style, sporting a bold yellow sweater and brown suede cowboy hat - courtesy of his good friend Beyoncé! He completed his look with baggy green cargo trousers and black Off-White x Nike Air Presto sneakers. The dashing duo were spotted hopping into a water taxi ahead of the most anticipated nuptials of the year.
But, amidst the glamour and glitz, controversy has been brewing. Environmental groups Greenpeace and Everyone Hates Elon have joined forces to protest Bezos' extravagant wedding extravaganza, citing concerns over the Amazon founder's tax rate (a whopping 1.1%) and alleged lack of philanthropic efforts. The two organizations claim that Bezos could use his vast wealth to fund public services, rather than shutting down half a city for three days.
Despite the protests, Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro and Regional Governor Luca Zaia have spoken out in favor of the wedding, pointing out that the celebrations are expected to bring in a whopping $23-34 million to local businesses. The city's mayor even went as far as to say, "If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax!"
As the big day approaches, the guest list has been revealed, and it's a veritable who's who of Hollywood A-listers! Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mick Jagger, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, and Tom Brady are just a few of the high-profile attendees expected to join the festivities. Even Ivanka Trump and her family have flown in to participate in the celebrations.
But, what's really got everyone talking is Bezos' reported spending habits - allegedly tens of millions on his big day! A leaked copy of the wedding invitation has revealed that the couple has asked guests not to bring gifts, instead suggesting donations be made to charities working to stop Venice from sinking. Talk about a wedding present!
So, as the city of canals prepares for the wedding of the century, we can't help but wonder - will Corey Gamble and Kris Jenner make an appearance on the dance floor? Only time (and the cameras) will tell!
