RIHANNA WANTS WHAT JUSTIN BIEBER GOT

Speaking of that lavish Indian wedding, Rihanna is NOT thrilled that she was paid $4 million LESS than Justin Bieber to perform. While Rihanna performed at a pre-wedding party in early May, earning $8 million for her work, (it was her first non Super Bowl performance in 8 years!) Justin recently earned $12 million to perform at the wedding kickoff. According to my source, Rihanna is livid over the snub, and is hoping to get another $4 million from the wedding planners to ease her pain…

WHY KIM KARDASHIAN ATTENDED THAT BILLIONAIRE’S WEDDING IN INDIA

Kim Kardashian was a guest at what is being called the wedding of the decade, but she was the one who walked away with the gift! Kim and her plus one, her sister Khloe, flew to India at the request of Asia’s richest man to attend his son’s lavish wedding reception. According to our source it was PAID APPEARANCE! Kim waltzed away with approximately $5 million plus expenses for attending. Since Khloe was her guest, she didn’t get paid to attend, but my source reveals that Kim plans to share her haul with her. And it looks like they got considerable help in dressing for the occasion…

REBEL WILSON MAKES HER OWN DREAMS COME TRUE

Rebel Wilson is hoping to return to the scene of the crime. Rebel and her fiancé, Ramona Ahriman got engaged in February 2023 at one of her favorite places on earth, Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Now the two are hoping to hold their wedding there. Their dream is to host the ceremony at the theme park and have a lavish reception at the park’s Grand Californian Hotel. The details including the date are still being work out, but the one thing that’s already been decided is their daughter Royce will be the flower girl.

LAUREN SANCHEZ HAS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN FRIENDS

Now THIS is awkward. Lauren Sanchez is busy planning her upcoming wedding to Jeff Bezos, and of course she intends to hire the world’s best performers to entertain her A-list guests. Therein lies the problem. Since money is no object, Lauren was hoping to have none other than Taylor Swift perform on her big day, but one of her bridesmaids is Taylor’s nemesis Kim Kardashian. To say Lauren is stuck between a rock and a hard place would be an understatement. She’s a huge fan of Taylor’s music and it would be a dream come true to have her perform at her wedding, but she also adores Kim and fears it wouldn’t go over well with her.  As we told you,  Kim is quietly working to patch things up with Taylor, so SHE might solve the problem for Lauren.

WILL RIHANNA STAND BY HER MAN?

Rihanna’s future with her babies daddy A$AP Rocky is being TESTED, now that he’s looking at serious jail time after being charged with two counts of first degree assault with a firearm. According to an insider, Rihanna recently POSTPONED her secret wedding plans, confiding to a friend that she wants to wait until Rocky’s legal troubles are behind him. After today’s ruling where a judge decided there was enough evidence against Rocky to proceed with a trial, it seems that Rihanna is questioning the relationship. “Rihanna’s image isn’t that of a bad girl so she doesn’t want a husband behind bars,” our source explained. She just paused plans for her spring 2024 wedding explaining that everything is on an indefinite hold. My source predicts Rihanna will wait to see how Rocky’s trial turns out – if he’s acquitted, she’ll go ahead with the wedding, but if he’s CONVICTED, she’ll end things and not stand by her man.

KRIS JENNER: WEDDING PLANNER FOR THE WEALTHY?

Kris Jenner is known for her over-the-top parties – who can forget her $2 million Great Gatsby themed 60th birthday in 2015? But now she’s been tapped to plan what just might be one of the biggest events ever… Jeff Bezos wedding to Lauren Sanchez! Kris and her daughter Kim are quite close to Lauren and Jeff and now Lauren has asked Kris for her help in planning her upcoming wedding to Jeff. Since money is obviously no object, Kris is letting her imagination run WILD with extravagant wedding ideas, including A-list performers, world famous chefs, and flowers everywhere. My source says that the wedding COULD cost over $25 million, which won’t make a dent in billionaire Jeff’s bank account.

A LITTLE GRUMBLING AFTER LEGEND WEEKEND IN ITALY

We couldn’t resist sharing one last tidbit from our exclusive scoop about Chrissy Teigen and John Legend‘s wedding renewal ceremony in Lake Como, Italy last weekend. According to our spy, a few guests were surprised that Chrissy and John brought along their children when the invitation specifically instructed guests NOT to bring their kids. The problem? Guests were expected to pay for their own airfare, ground transportation and accommodations, and with rooms at the resort going for over $6000 a night, the tab easily added up. My source says that some guests were miffed that they shelled out so much money to attend, and were forced to leave their kids at home with sitters. “It’s one thing to say no kids allowed if John and Chrissy were picking up the tab for everything, but it’s borderline obnoxious to ban kids and still expect people to pay their own way,” the insider explains.

KATE JACKSON: LONG TIME NO SEE

It’s been 14 years since we’ve seen Charlie’s Angels star Kate Jackson – it was at Farrah Fawcett’s funeral in 2009. And it’s been 16 years since Kate had an acting job (Criminal Minds) which is really surprising since she looks so good. But that was by choice- Kate has retired from acting and she’s currently living on her farm in Virginia. She’s been divorced three times and had health problems (cancer twice and heart surgery that she openly talks about) but you’d never guess it by looking at her. Kate attended the wedding of her Angels costar Jaclyn Smith’s son in Beverly Hills recently…

LIFE GOES ON AND ON FOR FRANKIE VALLI

Who would have guessed that Jon Hamm and Frankie Valli (The Four Seasons) had something in common? BOTH swore they had NO interest in getting married – and both of them DID this week! Frankie has already been married and divorced three times- he says that his constant touring and performing is what ended his marriages. Incredibly, he started back in 1962 when The Four Seasons song Sherry hit #1 on the charts – the diminutive singer (5’5″) has been working nonstop ever since. Frankie is 89 now and STILL touring – he’s singing at the Hard Rock Live in Las Vegas this week! After a 16 year friendship, he married marketing executive Jackie Jacobs, 60, in a no frills wedding in Las Vegas, while his song Can’t Take My Eyes off of You played and he sang along…

HOLLYWOOD HAS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN KIM AND KANYE

Party planners and social event hosts in Hollywood hesitate to invite unhappily divorced couples to the same gathering. To avoid unpleasant scenes, they have to choose one side or the other. These days they have to choose between inviting powerful Kanye West or popular Kim Kardashian. Kim has been the consistent winner recently. While Kim and Kanye were together, Stephanie Shepherd was Kim’s personal assistant. During that time, Kanye played matchmaker and introduced Stephanie to his manager (and Apple Music CEO) Larry Jackson. They fell in love and got married this weekend at a star-studded event in Beverly Hills. The bride and groom had to choose between inviting Kanye or Kim, and it was NOT easy. Turns out, Kim scored the invitation to the wedding. We doubt Kanye sent a wedding gift because he was snubbed.
