The celebrity-stalking press, AP and Reuters included, is predicting the union of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie this weekend (with adopted babes in tow) at gorgeous George Clooney's villa in Lake Como, Italy. Is it going to happen?
Honestly, only two people in the world know the answer to that question and they're not talking. But it sure is fun to imagine and spin a story by 1) ringing up the village's mayor to see if he's available to preside over a ceremony (he is free and he will do the deed with an hour's notice, according to the AP story), 2) call up the neighbour and see if George's motorboat is tied to the dock (it's not) and 3) point-blank ask the stars' publicists what's going on (their response, "Rumours are rumours." You don't say.)
Move over, People and In Touch, Reuters has this cutting-edge news report about the buzz in the village:
"Small groups of people with notebooks and television cameras trotted along the country lanes connecting Cernobbio and Laglio, looking slightly lost, while some journalists cruised the lake on motorboats to get a better view of Clooney's summer home."
One thing is for certain, Pitt and Jolie sure do seem to enjoy being photographed in exotic locales around the globe with young 'uns strapped to their chests - so maybe they're going to Italy for some R&R. From the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to senators' offices in Washington, D.C., and even high-end shops in Paris, Maddox and Zahara have been captured on film by the paparazzi. The only place those tots haven't seen with their glamorous folks is the moon.
Oscar-winning Jolie and her hunky mid-Western boy may already be married as I type this. If they are, "Bonne Chance" and all that.
As for us ordinary folk, it's back to reality and enjoying the crisp spring weather in mid-March.
By the way, I will not write about Brad Pitt every week
(though I am tempted). It's just so much fun to follow his antics, he's such a michievious scamp when it comes to women.
