Many of the world's elites have descended upon Venice, Italy this week to partake in the nuptial bonanza that is the marriage between billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and television-journalist-slash-aviation-specialist Lauren Sánchez. The event — which has reportedly been moved to a more isolated location amid [Venetian protests]() — is to take place over three days of action-packed festivities, and yes, it's [very, very expensive](). But Perry reportedly [isn't planning to attend the wedding](). By all public accounts, she counts Sánchez as a close friend: she [attended]() Sánchez's pricey bachelorette party in Paris, and the pair infamously embarked together on a [much-derided trip to space]() onboard one of Bezos' Blue Origin rockets. But the wedding is said to conflict with her ongoing [world tour](), and thus, Perry is abstaining from the fun. Bloom, meanwhile, is still planning to attend. And [according to *TMZ*](), as a newly-minted single man, he's planning to hit the weekend — and the dance floor — "hard." "He's the life of the party," a source told *TMZ*, "and he's gonna hit the dance floor hard!" Orlando, please... the people of Venice are going through enough as it is. ## Elven Rizz Perry is rumored to be annoyed that Bloom is still planning to attend the nuptials following their alleged split, which was [reportedly]() influenced by the stress of her poorly-received "143" album and the widespread [ridicule]() directed at her "ass in astronaut" mission to space. "Katy feels like they're really her friends more than his, and yet he's the one going to the wedding," one source [told the *Daily Mail*](). "And he's insistent that he goes, which annoys her because he's not particular \[sic\] close to either of them. She feels like it’s a 'f\*ck you' to her from him." "He complains about her going to space, and then wants to go to the wedding of the people who made it possible for her to do this in the first place," the source continued. "That's difficult for her to accept." If true: fair! It's pretty tough to imagine being angry at your partner for going to space, before then heading to Italy to celebrate the Space Baron and Baroness' knot-tying. At the very least, Bloom should be contractually obligated to smooch the Italian soil upon touching down. **More on the Bezos-Sánchez wedding:** [*Jeff Bezos' Wedding Was Reportedly Pushed Back Due to Prenup Issues*]() ## Author At Futurism, I've reported extensively on the rise of AI as a cultural and business force shaping the media industry, and more broadly how those dynamics are changing how we all consume and share information and relate to one another. I'm also fascinated by public health policy and ethics, the role of emerging tech in politics and governance — and the powerful people and forces at those intersections — climate change, and the environment. My investigation on Sports Illustrated's use of AI-generated authors with fictional biographies won a 2024 Mirror Award for "Best Story on Media Coverage of Artificial Intelligence in Journalism and the Media" from Syracuse University's SI Newhouse School, I contributed to Niemen Lab's 2025 Predictions for Journalism series, and I've discussed my work for Futurism during appearances on NPR, CNN, the BBC, the CBC, and more. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania and attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where I played Division I field hockey for the Minutewomen as a midfielder. Since then, I've lived in New Orleans, Louisiana and Manhattan, New York. I spend my free time running, reading, perusing archival fashion, and searching for the world’s best negroni. I also have a debonair tuxedo cat, Westley, who's named after "The Princess Bride." ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
