Rumors have been circulating that Lady Gaga and Elton John both demanded a huge pile of money to perform at the wedding of JeffBezos and Lauren Sanchez ... but TMZ has learned it's all BS.
Here's the deal ... with the Venice mega-wedding in the rearview mirror, gossip has been spun into headlines -- such as both superstars wanting a fee of $6 million apiece to perform for the 200 who's who guest list -- which Bezos passed on.
