Brangelina to tie
the knot

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will get married on Christmas in South Africa, where gays are allowed to marry, according to the U.K. paper Daily Mail. This announcement follows Pitt's statement in Esquire that the two would not get married until everyone in the United States could.

A friend of the couple told OK! magazine that they are very much in love and that the wedding will be simple and elegant. "Brad and Angelina have waited a long time for this chapter in their lives to unfold," the friend said.

The wedding is coming after Jolie and Oprah Winfrey have grown close because of Winfrey's interest in Jolie's humanitarian efforts. According to the Daily Mail, Winfrey, Guy Ritchie, Madonna, George Clooney, and Daniel Craig are said to be attending the wedding which will take place in a village outside of Johannesburg.
