Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Not Married

Italian newspapers had been speculating in recent days that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, expecting a child in the summer, would finally tie the knot at pal George Clooney’s lake-side pad, although Clooney has repeatedly denied this.

The rumour mill was given a further spin yesterday morning after Simona Saladini, the mayor of nearby Cernobbio, resplendent in a bright pink suit, was spotted having her hair done at a local salon.

Sarah Malastina, her hairdresser, could not contain her excitement. “She comes here often, but not dressed like that,�? she said later. “She said she had been told to be ready all day and I, too, was told to be prepared for a call to go and do somebody’s hair.�?

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were no-shows, but the small town cashed in, hotel prices sky-rocketing, restaurants packed and fishermen renting their boats out to photographers for large amounts at a time that is usually low-season in the region.

Giuseppe Mantero, the mayor of Laglio, played down suggestions of a ceremony at Clooney’s Villa Oleandra because of long-planned building works there.

Swiss television, meanwhile, reported that the couple had been seen in Paris.

The pair met when filming Mr & Mrs Smith, released last year.
