Orlando Bloom's Gritti Palace Bash: A Prelude to Jeff Bezos' $20M Venice Wedding!

SHOCKING CELEBRITY SIGHTINGS: ORLANDO BLOOM, TOM BRADY, AND SCOOTER BRAUN PARTY IT UP IN VENICE!

The city of love and romance is getting ready for a wedding extravaganza like no other as tech billionaire Jeff Bezos prepares to tie the knot with his fiancée Lauren Sanchez in a $20 million ceremony in Venice, Italy. And what's a wedding without some A-list celebrity sightings? Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, and Scooter Braun were spotted enjoying a boys' lunch at the luxurious Gritti Palace hotel ahead of the big day.

The trio was joined by six other friends, all thought to be in the music or film industry, as they sat down for a lavish spread of food and drinks on the hotel's shaded veranda. According to sources, Orlando has joined Scooter and Tom in the bachelor club following his recent split from partner Katy Perry after months of rumors.

Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian was also seen mingling with the group, including a friendly reunion with Orlando, who was spotted wasting no time in exchanging air kisses with the reality TV star and her family. The pair have history, having been caught together at an event last year where Orlando was accused of checking out Kim's bottom while standing next to his fiancée.

But it seems like Kim has forgiven him for that particular transgression as they were seen chatting away in the Italian sunshine. And if you thought that was all, Orlando also had a chance to catch up with music manager Scooter Braun, who famously didn't see eye-to-eye with Katy when he bought the rights to Taylor Swift's music catalog and original masters.

ORLANDO BLOOM'S LOVE LIFE UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT

The breakup between Orlando and Katy has been on everyone's lips lately, with sources claiming that they have called it quits following weeks of escalating tension. The couple had been together for nearly a decade, six years of which were spent being engaged, and have a four-year-old daughter named Daisy Dove.

But it seems like Orlando is already moving on from the heartbreak as he was spotted having a blast with Tom and Scooter at the Gritti Palace hotel. And if you thought that was all, another source revealed to TMZ that Orlando "is the life of the party" and will "hit the dance floor hard" at the Bezos wedding.

In fact, so much so that they might even sneak away for some bar crawling with none other than Leonardo DiCaprio! And when it comes to the wedding itself, sources claim that 90% of the guests are "boring," but Orlando, Leo, and Jeff will make sure everyone has a good time.

KIM KARDASHIAN AND ORLANDO BLOOM'S HISTORY

As we mentioned earlier, Kim and Orlando have history when it comes to being caught together at events. And it seems like their friendship is still going strong as they were seen chatting away in the Italian sunshine. In fact, they even bonded with Katy last month during Lauren's hen do in Paris.

But what's interesting is that Katy has been quite open about her relationship with Orlando on social media, often sharing pictures and updates about their life together. And it seems like Kim is not only a fan of Katy but also a friend who supports her through thick and thin.

THE BEZOS WEDDING EXTRAVAGANZA

The wedding between Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez has been making headlines for weeks, with many speculating about the details of the big day. And it seems like they have spared no expense in making this a truly unforgettable event. The couple has reportedly booked out all 24 grand rooms at the Aman hotel and is said to be paying overtime to an unspecified number of police officers involved in security for the wedding organizers.

But what's interesting is that the historic venue chosen by Bezos and Sanchez, the 15th-century Madonna dell'Orto church, is currently undergoing repairs and has scaffolding on its iconic bell tower. And it seems like the couple might have booked the venue based on pictures they saw on Google without realizing it was being repaired.

ACTIVISTS PLAN TO DISRUPT THE WEDDING

As we mentioned earlier, activists from the group No Space For Bezos plan to disrupt the wedding by blocking canals and scattering inflatable crocodiles or other toys along the waterways to impede the dozens of water taxis hired to ferry guests between venues. And it seems like they are serious about causing a scene as they have asked activists to "turn up with snorkels and masks" and to be ready for anything.

But what's interesting is that local authorities have been holding daily meetings to discuss how to protect the expected 200 VIPs, including Ivanka Trump, who has an extra level of security due to her being the US president's daughter. And it seems like Italian taxpayers' money is being spent on overtime pay for police officers and added safety measures.

POLITICIANS SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE WEDDING

Furious politicians in Italy are speaking out against the wedding, with some calling for answers about how much Italian taxpayers' money is being spent on security and logistics. According to Angelo Bonelli, an MP with the Italian Green and Left Alliance, "We need information because from Wednesday until Saturday night the city of Venice will be in a virtual lockdown to allow the Amazon magnate's wedding to go ahead."

Bonelli added that "it will be locked down, but it will also be a city bought for three days in a sort of unbridled celebration of luxury that will limit the movement of citizens." And when asked about how much money was being spent on security and logistics, Bonelli stated that "we pay certainly for security, for public order, to lock down an entire city and protect a cover wedding."

So there you have it, folks! The drama, romance, and luxury surrounding the Bezos wedding is only just beginning. Stay tuned for more updates as this story continues to unfold!
