Forget about Tom and Katie’s big, fat, Italian weekend wedding… crowds were also gathering for today’s planned nuptials of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Not the real Brangelina—the wax version of the couple was supposed exchange vows at Madame Tussards Wax Museum in Las Vegas today, but the big event has been nixed thanks to Pitt’s legal staff.
Hollywood’s hottest unmarried (wax) couple didn’t get cold feet—they simply got burned by Pitt’s representatives who claimed the organizers of the fantasy wedding (Madame Tussards planned to stage a depiction of the famous couple tying the knot to mark the unveiling of a Jolie wax figure) was a bit too bizarre.
“I personally found it a little odd that they were re-creating a wedding that never really happened,” said a spokeswoman for Pitt. “As Brad’s representative, I found it disturbing.”
The general manager of the wax museum at the Venetian resort in Las Vegas, told reporters that the decision to stage the wedding wasn’t done to anger the famous actors/humanitarians; rather the museum’s intention was to make the Jolie unveiling (Pitt’s already been immortalized in wax at the museum) as splashy as possible.
And by the sounds of it, the wax event would have been quite a shindig: The scene would have had wax figures of George Clooney, standing in as best man, and the Rev. Robert Schuller, pastor and president of the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California, officiating. Wax witnesses would have included Elvis, Liberace, John Wayne, Bugsy Siegel, Frank Sinatra, Ben Affleck and Luciano Pavarotti.
But, unfortunately, the show will have to go on without all the pomp and circumstance that surrounds a Hollywood union—Jolie’s wax figure will still be introduced today—just without the wedding bells.
As for the real Brangelina, according to their reps, the couple and their three children are in India where Jolie is filming a movie about slain journalist Daniel Pearl. Oh, and for the record, Pitt told Esquire magazine that he doesn’t intend to marry Jolie until legal restrictions are lifted in the U.S. and “everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able.”
