The wedding rumor mill churns on and on and on

People just can’t stop talking about whether Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will get married at some point.

In the past few days I have read the following rumors:

• Brad and Angie will get married in France, which is why they’re there earlier than they need to be for Cannes
• They’ll get married on Paul Allen’s yacht – I assume this came about because they’re staying at his villa
• Mariane Pearl will be the maid of honor

What makes me laugh about this ongoing rumor of wedding plans is that it seems as though the tabloid writers figure if they keep talking about it long enough they may eventually be right. Brad and Angie could get married ten years from now and some tabloid will say, “See? We called it! A decade ago, but still!”

If they do plan on getting married in France, the yacht is a pretty decent idea. They could be out in the middle of the water, away from most cameras (although you know there would be some somewhere, even if it’s a guy in a rowboat, frantically paddling after them or someone hanging by a bungee cord from a helicopter swooping overhead), and apparently Paul Allen is so loaded that his yacht is equipped with helicopter landing pads, a submarine (!), and is enormous.

(Edited to add: Apparently Randi at Bradcrushable.com is on the same wavelength since she also posted about the yacht rumors – check out the picture she has of Paul Allen’s “little boat”! I wish I had helped found Microsoft too, good lord he’s got money.)

On the one hand I roll my eyes at the constant “they’re getting married! They’re breaking up! They’re getting married! They adopted three more kids! Oh my god they got married in a secret ceremony in Tom Cruise’s bunker!” headlines. On the other, it just goes to show that Brad and Angelina are one of Hollywood’s most fascinating couples because people just can’t help but talk about them.

What do you think? We’ve heard approximately five thousand (give or take) wedding rumors since they first got together. Do you believe there’s any possible truth to the newest round of rumors?
