There’s no speculation over whether she’s pregnant or not, all that’s left to do until the arrival of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s baby is wonder about their marriage status.
On Saturday, Star magazine sent journalists an e-mail that announced that Brangelina wedding took place at the French Quarter Wedding Chapel in New Orleans. Almost every celebrity weekly was on the story, scrambling to see whether they’d missed what would be the biggest marriage of 2008.
Rev. Tony Talavera from the chapel’s minister,firmly denied any such marriage. Furthermore, Talavera told that Star had offered him $3,000 to stick with its story and he told In Touch that it was Pitt’s rep that asked him to set the record straight with the media.
People magazine did reach Pitt’s rep, Cindy Guagenti, who said she had “no idea” whether Pitt and Jolie married. Us Weekly chimed in with a source who called the whole thing “complete and total bullsh–.”
Although Star modified its original story to say that its source was no longer standing by their information, there’s still no straight answer. It’s odd for a publicist to not follow up “I have no idea” with a clear yes or no, so what gives?
One publicist said that Guagenti and Pitt don’t communicate as often as you’d think. “When she says she has no idea, she really doesn’t. They don’t talk regularly.”
Although Saturday wasn’t good for the reporters who had to give up their weekends to chase the rumor, it is good for the weekly magazines. The marriage, or rumours, will easily make the deadlines for all of the celeb magazines. Expect to uncover the “real story” in just a few days’ time.
