Wedding never happened for Jolie and Pitt

Tuesday, April 1, 2008

Bet Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s publicists wish they got a pay rise every time the rumor of the star couple’s marriage did the rounds.

Hollywood’s hottest couple married again this weekend — not. But this time their publicist deferred the knockdown of rumors of a wedding in a New Orleans wedding chapel to the chapel’s clergyman.

“Brad and Angelina did not get married by us,” the Rev. Tony Talavera, owner of the French Quarter Wedding chapel, told magazine Life & Style Weekly a day after the rumored Saturday wedding.

Talavera said he normally did not reveal who he did or did not marry at his wedding center just 14 blocks from the Jolie-Pitt home but he went public this time after Pitt’s people called him and asked him to “quash any misinformation that’s out there.”

“I have not met them personally,” said Talavera. ”This just got out of control. Their publicist asked me to give out a statement.”

But Talavera said he’d be happy to do the job for Pitt and Jolie if they ever do finally decide to rid themselves of the rumors and take the plunge.

“We extend the invitation. We’re glad they are neighbors,” he said.
