Alas, the rumour was shot down by one of Mr. Pitt's rep's. Photography services whined that they had sent crews down to the chateau only to find that the "Buzz" of Pitt's parents and George Clooney "flying in" to the area while tons of pre-event activity was supposedly happening on the property was just that - "Buzz." More like a "Buzz Kill" for those who had hoped to make a few million dollars on grainy long-lens paparazzi photos of The Brand and Family lurking about the premises in various forms of Wedding Garb. (Angelina in Black, of course, and Brad channeling either a Homeless Person or Robert Wagner from his ascot days.)
Well, it's not as if the rumours were simple. Anyone who believed a wedding would take place this weekend or any time in the near future, were teased with details such as how Bradley Pitt was making sure that all of the food would be local; that everything had to be "perfect" and he had become Groomzilla. But no. Nothing. Just a 50th Wedding Anniversary "party" for Mr. Pitt's parents…if that. No news has been "leaked" on whether or not The Senior Pitts were/are in France at all!
So, another overly-inflated bubble has been burst. Who cares if they marry anyway? They have been together in the public view for almost 8 years (I'm stretching it out for a variety of reasons) and neither seem in a rush to make their union legal in anyone's eyes. They really don't seem to care.
However, a marriage-of-sorts did take place this weekend, and what a couple they make! Mitt Romney chose wild-eyed, Budget Slasher Paul Ryan as his VP pick! Angelina's famous father, Uber Conservative John Voight, possibly lifted off the ground in glee, joined by Brad Pitt's mother Jane who recently wrote a letter to the editor of a local Missouri paper wherein she basically blasted gays and gay marriage. Now that's one part of The Brand's family unit that def can get along.
This Romney-Ryan ticket won't unify everyone of seeming "Like Mind" as much as it may be causing behind-the-scenes grousing by fellow GOPer's who had hoped Romney would go for the less politically extreme VP choice of a Tim Pawlenty or Florida's Conservative Senator, Marco Rubio.
As many writers are pointing-out, Ryan apparently loathes people who hide their income. Hello there Mittens! How are you going to work around that? Duct tape on Ryan's mouth may not be needed as he already has his Fake-Out marching orders to dodge his true beliefs so that he can push this Wooden Executive Of Lifelong Privilege into an office where we will watch the complete dismantling of the American Dream and food lines that will stretch for miles if Ryan and Romney have their way with dismantling social programs that benefit the middle class and The Poors.
Although The World didn't get their Brangie Marriage Fix this weekend, a few of us did pop a few corks over the baffling choice of Paul Ryan standing next to Romney for the next three months in tight grins and all kinds of BS coming from their mouths over how "Great" "Impressive" "The Right Choice" is for both of them to be on The Front Lines of what is left of the GOP. It's a classic Fake-Out-Make-Out, indeed!
It's going to be an eye-rolling three months before the election, my friends. Get ready to clutch your pearls or readjust your fancy belt. We're in for some major wing-nutting by pundits on both sides of the aisle.
Meanwhile, did someone say today is the end of the London Olympics? Well done, London. Well done. (More to follow on that subject soon.)
