Brangelina: Still single
Gina Serpe

LOS ANGELES—Mr. and Mrs. Smith? Yes. Mr. and Mrs. Pitt? Not so fast. Despite a flurry of reports heralding a supposed wedding between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in New Orleans Saturday, several sources close to the situation adamantly deny that any such union has taken place.
While photo agency X17 was first to break the faulty news of a vow swap on its website, Star magazine was hot on the misinformed heels, reporting that the “I dos” the world has been waiting for—and, it turns out, will continue to wait for—took place at the French Quarter Wedding Chapel on Saturday evening.
The owner of the chapel, however, was quick to call foul on the ringing of wedding bells.
“No, they did not come in here yesterday and no, they did not get married here,” chapel co-owner Lou Ann Talavera told E! News.
Pitt’s rep, Cindy Guagenti, also addressed the rumours.
“I have no idea,” she told E! News of the possible wedding. “I have nothing to do with any of this.”
A source close to the still-single couple, meanwhile, said the nuptial reports were particularly incredulous as Pitt and Jolie aren’t even in their adopted hometown of New Orleans at the moment, rather the ever-expanding brood is holed up in Texas, where Pitt is expected to be filming his new movie, Tree of Life, until June.
Similar wishful-thinking reports surfaced about the duo back in March 2006, when it was widely rumoured that they would be getting married at pal George Clooney’s Lake Como villa in Italy. Needless to say, those reports also failed to pan out.
Those still holding out hope for a formal vow swap, however, may want to start writing their congressman. In the October 2006 issue of Esquire, Pitt said that he and Jolie will only consider strolling down the aisle once gay marriage is legalized, saying, “Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able.”
