Brad and Angelina's Wax Wedding Axed
It might be a nice day for a wax wedding, but Angelina Jolie's and Brad Pitt's waxen doubles won't get the chance to find out.
Madame Tussauds Las Vegas has canceled plans for a wedding exhibit depicting the "marriage" of Pitt's and Jolie's wax figures after receiving a complaint from Pitt's representative, Cindy Guagenti.
"I personally found it a little odd that they were re-creating a wedding that never really happened," Guagenti told the Associated Press. "As Brad's representative, I found it disturbing."
The wax museum had planned to stage a ceremony between the star couple Wednesday, as part of the unveiling of Jolie's waxen double in Las Vegas. (The figure will still be unveiled as planned—it just won't be wearing a veil.)
A wax George Clooney was to serve as best man, while the waxen guest list included figures of Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Luciano Pavarotti, Liberace, John Wayne, Ben Affleck and Bugsy Siegel.
Adrian Jones, the general manager of the museum at Las Vegas' Venetian resort, said the exhibit was scrapped so as not to trod on any A-list toes.
"Since Madame Tussauds enjoys excellent relationships with the celebrity community, we made our own decision not to create the wedding scene," he said in a statement.
In July, the New York branch of Madame Tussauds unveiled a waxen Namibian nursery, complete with wax figures of Pitt and Jolie looking tenderly down upon a waxen Shiloh Nouvel. Presumably, since some semblance of that event actually occurred, the depiction was A-okay with the Jolie-Pitt camp.
Guagenti said Pitt and Jolie never knew of the plans for the wedding exhibit. But as far as any timeline for a flesh-and-blood wedding between the couple, don't hold your breath.
In October, Pitt told Esquire magazine, "Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able."
The couple are currently in India, where Jolie is filming scenes for A Mighty Heart. On Monday, Jolie got a taste of how the hoi polloi travels (hint: not by helicopter) in Mumbai, when she and her costar Dan Futterman, along with several bodyguards and a film crew, boarded a crowded commuter train to shoot scenes for the film.
Security staff restrained throngs of eager passengers from approaching the duo, reports said.
Jolie stars as Mariane Pearl, the widow of slain journalist Daniel Pearl (Futterman), who lived and worked in the financial district of India's capital.
