A CATASTROPHIC breach of wedding etiquette has been exposed, revealing the SHOCKINGLY cavalier attitude of Hollywood’s elite. While guests celebrated the union of pop princess Selena Gomez and producer Benny Blanco, comedy legend Martin Short, allegedly fueled by cocktails, committed a BRIDAL NIGHTMARE: he MUTILATED the couple’s pristine wedding cake a FULL HOUR before they could photograph it. Short admitted to Jimmy Kimmel that he “just assumed” the cake was for his section, a staggering display of self-absorption that has insiders questioning the REAL respect these stars have for one another. This wasn’t a simple mistake; it was a SYMBOLIC SLASH at tradition, with Short reportedly trying to “fix it with a fork” as horrified A-listers like Paul Rudd looked on.
The frantic “surgery” performed by chefs to salvage the $10,000-plus confection is a PERFECT METAPHOR for Hollywood’s own fragile facade: everything is beautiful on the surface, but only after desperate, hidden repairs. Short’s joke that the cake “had a little work done” isn’t just a quip—it’s a DISTURBING ADMISSION of a culture where personal gratification and instant satisfaction TRUMP basic respect and significant life moments. What does it say when a wedding’s sacred centerpiece is treated as a mere snack station for a bored celebrity?
Gomez’s public laugh brushes it off, but the incident leaves a PUTRID aftertaste: in Tinseltown, even your most precious memories are just CONTENT to be consumed and spoiled by the famous.
