Catch a glimpse of Leonardo DiCaprio’s face if you can. However, the Oscar winner’s curious wardrobe choice while heading to the lavish nuptials of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez in Venice June 27 made that difficult to achieve. As the 51-year-old walked to board a water taxi—his ride to the island of San Giorgio Maggiore where the Amazon founder married his partner of six years—he paired his black tux and bowtie with an all-black Los Angeles Dodgers hat, which he positioned forward on his head to obscure his eyes and most of his face. For her part, Leo’s girlfriend Vittoria…

Tanya Simon, the daughter of the late 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon, has been executive-producing the newsmagazine show on an interim basis since Bill Owens’ shocking resignation. The current crop of 60 Minutes correspondents have been lobbying Paramount Global to make it official. On Friday, Oliver Darcy’s Status newsletter reported that Lesley Stahl, Scott Pelley, Bill Whitaker, Anderson Cooper, Sharyn Alfonsi, Jon Wertheim and Cecilia Vega — the whole gang of 60 Minutes correspondents — collectively wrote and signed a letter in May urging Paramount co-CEO George Cheeks to officially name Simon as the show’s executive producer. Owens resigned as…

When it comes to music-exporting countries — i.e., those that collect more royalties from other countries than they pay out — Sweden is patient zero for addressing the way streaming platforms and social media have changed how music travels (or doesn’t travel) around the world. Indeed, how Swedes address the new landscape can provide pathways that songwriters and producers in other countries can take as well. Music has never been more global. Today, a musician can upload a song and reach a listener virtually anywhere in the world. But music is increasingly local, too. Streaming platforms and social media have…

Lauren Sánchez is starting fresh. The journalist and Blue Origin all-female space flight crew member, who married Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in a lavish ceremony in Venice, Italy, on June 27, promptly changed her name and username on Instagram to Lauren Sánchez Bezos following the ceremony. The rest of her Instagram feed? Completely wiped, now featuring just one wedding post of the pair walking down the aisle with the caption, “06/27/2025.” Her clean slate comes amid a weekend full of wedding festivities with nearly 200 guests on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore with under 200 guests, according to reports. Celebrity attendees…

A lawyer for Sean “Diddy” Combs delivered his final pitch in the rap mogul’s racketeering and sex-trafficking trial in much the way the defense began over a month ago: by telling jurors that Combs and his girlfriends were “swingers” whose sex was always consensual. Marc Agnifilo, one of the many defense attorneys representing Combs, urged a jury in New York federal court to acquit the musician on Friday (June 27). Prosecutors had already given their closing argument the previous day, seeking a conviction based on charges that Combs used violence, money and blackmail to force his girlfriends to have sex…

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Ex Says She Fainted After Reading Cassie Ventura’s LawsuitJane said during her testimony that parts of Ventura’s November 2023 lawsuit—which was ultimately settled—mirrored her own experience with Combs. “I almost fainted, in fact, I think I did,” she told jurors as she cried. “There was three specific  pages that was just a harrowing reference to what I was experiencing.”  Jane, who took part in “hotel nights, “said that it felt like she was reading “her own story.” It led to her confronting Combs via text messages. “I feel like I am reading my own sexual trauma,” she…

Lorde’s NSFW album art isn’t getting the green light from all her fans.  The “What Was That” singer raised eyebrows when she shared the accompanying art for a vinyl edition of her forthcoming album, Virgin, which hit stands on June 27.  For the special version, Lorde included a photo insert that showed a close-up photo of a person wearing clear, plastic pants that leave nothing to the imagination. In fact, the image offered a glimpse at the seated body’s belly button, thighs and the person’s, er, special place in between.  Following the Vinyl’s reveal, many fans expressed feeling shocked by…
