Jezebel
Angelina and Brad have finally made it legal. This news comes to you via Star, courtesy a somewhat subpar Wifi connection at the West Village Apple Store. You know, they say it's "part of the romantic tragedy of our age that our partners must be seen as compatible on every level." But Brad and Angelina, with their wildly divergent upbringings, pastimes, temperaments (and, one can only assume, literary proclivities) have maybe once again subverted the cultural mores of their time. (That said, he did, under her tutelage, reportedly conquer his fear of flying.) Anyway, speaking of tragedies, they did it in New Orleans.
The bride is the daughter of the deceased actress Marcheline Bertrand and actor Jon Voigt. The bridegroom is the son of Jane Etta, a high school counselor, and William Alvin Pitt, owner-operator of a trucking company. He attended the University of Missouri-Columbia with a concentration in journalism. [Star]

i won't believe it until people.com says it's true.
I hope these two crazy kids make it.
I won't believe it until I see a signed marriage license, and then I probably still wouldn't believe it.
After Ashton Kutcher, what can you trust anymore?!?
Was he wearing his stupid hat?
I wonder if they went to New Orleans to make a statement. Or possibly to scoop up a new baby, as they have yet to grab one from this continent. Perhaps the Pitts are just trying to collect a baby from each continent. Some families come home with a shot glass or a t-shirt .. the Pitts do it up right. They get a baby.
Side note - 9:30 on a Saturday night, why are there so many of us on here? Nothing new is ever posted on weekends!
@FourInchHeels: I'm working on a paper and needed a distraction.
Does this mean The Gays can finally get married legally?
I need a better source (preferably multiple sources) before I'll believe it.
@FourInchHeels: Germs hijacked my plans.
WTF? What happened to "no marriage for Super-Couple until there's marriage for Regular Gay Couple's"?
I'm a little disappointed because they were actually making a public stand for a great cause, and I guess they gave in to some kind of pressure.
You're not my heroes NOW.
@mwynn13: Right, what happened to that statement Brad?
I'll just wait to see if this pans out or not, the last time I was this non-believing of a "breaking news" post Jaime-Lynn WAS actually pregnant.
I normally don't care about these two, but I really hope this is true.
@FourInchHeels: My drinking buddy is in Colorado this week visiting her bf :(
Wow. I wasn't expecting this at all, but I like that they were able to do it privately.
@FourInchHeels: I did all my partying LAST night. Ugh.
A zillion more covers about Jen's depression, coming right up!
@maliciousfallacy: I suspect that was "the political/social statement of the month" for these folks. At times they appear to have the attention span and focus of a gnat.
@FourInchHeels: I'm avoiding thesis work...yet again!
I'm not sure that I believe STAR.
Were Brad and Gwyneth never married? I swear I thought they were. Somebody set me straight.
@FourInchHeels: I just got in. I left my house, alone, for TWO WHOLE HOURS tonight!
@maliciousfallacy: These two were so never my heroes. And I have serious doubts as to the veracity of this rumour- Star Magazine is the source? Haven't they claimed these two were married like a dozen times already?
@annagsquared: right? I keep waiting for a joke about how she's wallowing her sorrows away in a gallon of ice cream.
I don't usually jump to Jen's defense, but I am so tired of hearing about how depressed she may or may not be because the Golden God of American cinema fell for Saint Angelina.
Not that Angie and Brad aren't awesome...
@maliciousfallacy: Ya, shocking as it may be, I don't think they meant it. But from this post, am I supposed to believe they are an inspiration?
I won't believe it until I see the honeymoon sex video.
@sarabadara: Matching hair, engaged, but no marriage.
@BeAgrestic: I don't think she'll touch the ice cream, since I read that she recently got back "the body Brad couldn't resist." Such assholes.
My mom used to say if you like someone and they don't like you back, picture 'em sitting on the toilet and you'll get over it.
@Meg: Got it, thanks for setting me straight.
@sarabadara: no, they were engaged, but broke up before Shakespeare In Love, I think. She was briefly with Ben Affleck, too.
@theruraljuror: yes, that's my celeb wedding bible, too, since the publicists hand-deliver the news (and collect the checks...)
I don't know; Brangelina don't seem like the "omg-we-need-to-get-married-because-you're-knocked-up" type of couple like Bennifer 2.0.
@maliciousfallacy: I was JUST thinking about that.
@annagsquared: that was my first thought too. oh boy, here come the headlines..."Brad and Angie get hitched; Jen turns to costar ____ for comfort" and so on.
They may have gotten marred during Earth Hour 2008? Cliched? Maybe. But they can do no wrong in my eyes.
@BeAgrestic: Wait no more! From Dlisted: Somewhere in the world, Jennifer Aniston is devouring a whole gallon of Breyers.
Jon Voight will find out about his daughter's marriage via a call from Access Hollywood for comment.
I'd say good luck Angie, being the second wife sucks, but Brad IS her 3rd husband and I don't know enough to go there. Hollywood swaps spouses like General Hospital.
Cute names like Brangelina and Bennifer, but what if she married Humphrey Bogart and they were Angelogart? Ugh.
@Meg: DAMN IT! Michael K is no longer my favorite gay. At least for a week.
@sarabadara: but it's been five years (plus 4 kids and counting) since the last marriage. Maybe third time is the charm.
@FourInchHeels:
I'm hiding from tonight's episode of Spring Cleaning ... ditched the husband downstairs so he could "clean in peace."
Heh.
...and if this is true, YAY!...
@FourInchHeels: um, drinking wine by myself, obvs. i love grad school/exams.
@FourInchHeels: Eh, I had a LONG week. Six one, one off, then another 6 on straight this week. And I'm trying to get over a spring cold that Just. Won't. DIE.
We went to a funk show on Friday, so tonight is all about a hot bath and an early night of sleep.
Grats Brad and Angie! I hope they make it. Call me a sucker, but I've never believed they were together before Brad left Jen.
@StabbyMcStabberson: I think people might spontaneously combust if they watched those two in a sex video. More sexy than people were ever meant to handle.
@FourInchHeels: To be fair, here it is only like 8:45. To be fair, I'm drinking wine and watching Law and Order.
@Lymed: I've said before, and more than once, that Brad and Angelina would be the perfect threesome partners. I think many straight women would go lezebel at the opportunity, Ange being the universal solvent, as it were.
now I'm kind of worried, because marriage can only lead to divorce and I need Brangelina to stay together for ever
@FourInchHeels: I'm packing for my move tomorrow, so any time my RSS feed updates and there's something to read, I take a break!
I am going to have to drink a bajillion gallons of coffee tomorrow because I am getting nothing done.
Shabby: been there, done that plenty of times. Zzzzzzzzz. Gotta eventually take the Other Woman out of the equation.
Been there and done that on marriage too. Zzzzzzzzzzzz. Gotta take myself out of the equation.
;)
@purplejesus: Genuine LOL at Angelogart! LOLgelogart!
@RiskyGirl: We are teh twinz.
@FourInchHeels: Yeah, my brain is far too saturated with fermented grapes to make any kind of comment, other than the fact that hubby and I are hanging with teh puppehs tonight and I checked Jezebel hoping for some kind of breaking news. And I totes got it!! Congrats, Brangelina...even though I know they were thisclose to legalizing gay marriage since you guys were holding out.
yay for my Brangelina!!!!! :D
Wait. We're trusting Star here? My Bloody Mary and I are sooper skeptical.
(my love for brangelina equals the love BangieB has for lindsay lohan, fyi)
apparently perezhilton, and pap agency x17 are also confirming this rumor.
YAAAAY!
@ElleL:
perez also confirmed that fidel castro died, like 8 months ago...
@SarahBoBara:
haha good point.
@purplejesus: Humfralina.
Well, hello, weekend Jezzies! I'm back from Cleveland and was catching up on things.
@howdybeep (rear wheel drive): Did you love it as much as Liz Lemon? Did people mistake you for a model?!
hahaha, someone updated brad's wikipedia page that they married today in NOLA.
*SIGH*:

Despite reports that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt wedded in a New Orleans church Saturday, a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE there was "no wedding."
The family spent a weekend in New Orleans two weeks ago - as Pitt broke ground on his Make It Right project to help rebuild the city's Lower Ninth Ward - but they have recently been in the Austin, Texas, area while Pitt films Tree of Life with Sean Penn.
Jolie, who stars in the action film Wanted, opening in June, is pregnant and due later this year.
Awww man!
@FourInchHeels: my friends won't go out to clubs with me (I live right down the block from Teddy's and ten minutes away from Les Deux!) and my cable is off because the guy that i'm subletting my apartment from forgot to pay the bill. mazel tov!
@bess marvin, girl detective: Maybe we should both use this friendless time to write. Then, when we're famous screenwriters, we can get interviewed by jezebel.
Or we could individually go buy a bottle of scotch and wake up tomorrow hungover.
@aspiringexpatriate: i'm in the middle of a beat sheet for my movie and instead of using the time i had off to write, i slept. now i start work on monday and due to industry slave wage hours, will probably have NO time. hey, at least i have pinot grigio in my fridge and i have to come up with a cool screenwriter name that everyone can hate on. how does diablo cody sound to you?
@bess marvin, girl detective: How's about Tatianna Mephi?
Come to think of it, that's a good character name.
What's the dayjob? I've been wasting good writing time earning a living as a video editor for an internet start-up.
