Venice’s Gritti Palace Becomes A-List Playground for Brady, DiCaprio & Co.
Apparently, Venice’s canals have nothing on The Gritti Palace when Tom Brady arrives with a cheer squad of A-listers. In a move that makes Italian gondolas look like rowboats, the landmark waterfront hotel is the epicenter of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s over-the-top wedding festivities. According to TMZ insiders and corroborated by People magazine’s eyewitness account, the guest roster reads like “Forbes: Most Famous,” featuring Tom Brady, Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, Sydney Sweeney, Jerry Seinfeld, Oprah Winfrey, Charissa Thompson, and even the Kardashians.
Venice might be known as the Floating City, but this week it’s more like a human cruise liner on dry land — with more bodyguards than gondoliers. The Gritti’s hotel bar has become ground zero for impromptu dance breaks and laughter that could rival a Roman colosseum. Sources say Sydney Sweeney, described as “startlingly beautiful” in person, has turned more heads than the Rialto Bridge during peak tourist season. One observer joked she’s like a Renaissance painting come to life, while Tom Brady circles her admirers like a linebacker guarding the end zone.
Yet for all the hot-ticket names, this week’s excitement isn’t just about romantic pursuits. TMZ insiders and a tip from Page Six reveal that Brady, DiCaprio, Bloom, and music manager Scooter Braun slipped away Friday afternoon to the swanky Hotel Cipriani pool, where they drank like they were celebrating a Super Bowl victory — except nobody brought a football. Irony alert: these globe-trotting icons, who spend their lives avoiding hangovers, apparently decided that British prosecco by the pool was the best way to bond.
Meanwhile, the Kardashian clan isn’t exactly scouring the dance floor. Sources confirm the sisters are content staying “mostly in-family,” partitioned between the Cirpiani and Aman resorts. It’s almost as if they mistook the wedding for family reunion planning. Thursday’s Gatsby-esque cocktail party set the tone: pinstripes, pearls, and enough flapper dresses to stock a Hollywood costume department. Tonight promises another secret soirée, location undisclosed, because why would Jeff and Lauren make it easy on the paparazzi?
Fast-forward to Saturday’s much-teased PJ party, where rumored fluffy slippers meet champagne toasts at midnight. Security is reportedly tighter than DiCaprio’s jeans in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, so expect more velvet ropes than Venetian bridges. Suffice to say, wedding days may end, but in this crew’s world, the festivities are just getting started. Tune in next time for more celebrity choreography, questionable life choices, and humanity at its finest — all without ever learning to pronounce “gondolier” correctly.
