When people see Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie together, the first question that springs to mind isn't "When will either you make a decent movie?" or "What's with all the adopting?" but "Hey, when the hell are you two going to get married?"
The sad fact of the matter is that nobody knows when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are going to get married, and the waiting is killing us. The wedding problem doesn't exclusively involve the breathing, walking, talking Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie who stride around the planet saving lives with their bodies made of carbon-based materials and fairydust – it also stretches to all the different Brad Pitts and Angelina Jolies who don't even exist, like the pretend Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie that have been carved out of wax in Madame Tussauds Las Vegas. The wax Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were due to be getting married today but – thanks to Brad Pitt somehow getting freaked out at the thought of a couple of big dolls that look like him and Angelina having a lavish pretend wedding – it's all off.
What with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie achieving newfound levels of superstar power – like gaining the ability to get on a train and black up their faces fairly offensively – the issue of a Brad Pitt/ Angelina Jolie wedding has been pushed to the back-burner of late. And it's probably a good thing too; we can't have been the only ones starting to get sick of all the false reports of a Pitt-Jolie wedding that have been churned out over the course of the last 12 months. Remember the quickly-denied report about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie having a Buddhist wedding? Or the report that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were getting married in Italy that turned out to be a great big hoax?
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie can't seem to decide on how much they want to get married either. George Clooney says they won't, but Brad and Angelina themselves either think that they might get married or they'll only get married when the gays can marry or they won't marry at all.
With all this ridiculous wedding procrastination between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie going on, who can blame Madame Tussauds Las Vegas for trying to reach a happy conclusion? After the success of the wax Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt at its New York branch, Madame Tussauds decided to go the whole hog and depict themselves a lavish Brad Pitt/ Angelina Jolie wedding in Las Vegas. The wedding was supposed to be unveiled today, but Madame Tussauds can't have been banking on Brad Pitt spectacularly failing to see the funny side of things, as E! Online reports:
Madame Tussauds Las Vegas has canceled plans for a wedding exhibit depicting the "marriage" of Pitt's and Jolie's wax figures after receiving a complaint from Pitt's representative, Cindy Guagenti. "I personally found it a little odd that they were re-creating a wedding that never really happened," Guagenti told the Associated Press. "As Brad's representative, I found it disturbing."… Adrian Jones, the general manager of the museum at Las Vegas' Venetian resort, said the exhibit was scrapped so as not to trod on any A-list toes."Since Madame Tussauds enjoys excellent relationships with the celebrity community, we made our own decision not to create the wedding scene," he said in a statement.
It's hardly unexpected that Brad Pitt would get his knickers in a twist over the wax wedding between him and Angelina Jolie – he seems to be getting tetchy with all sorts of people these days. If Brad Pitt isn't apparently getting bodyguards to choke photographers he's throwing tantrums about pictures of him in his pants on the front of magazines.
But, you know what? More fool Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie for making Madame Tussauds scrap the wax wedding, we say. If it would have gone ahead, the wedding would have had a guest-list that far exceeded anything either of them could have ever imagined. E! Online describes the potential scene:
A wax George Clooney was to serve as best man, while the waxen guest list included figures of Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Luciano Pavarotti, Liberace, John Wayne, Ben Affleck and Bugsy Siegel.
And Oprah Winfrey still couldn't score a wedding invite. Can that woman ever cut a break?
