set the damn date!
my pop culture sources aledge that brangelina won t tie the knot since gay people are not allowed to get married in most of this country s states. while i agree in principle, their gesture seems to me empty and annoying at best, idiotic and 'touchy feely' at worst.
which leads me to speculate, why can t they just get married? not only did mr pitt (a decent character actor passing as a movie star) adopt maddox, but now they have a love child who is clearly theirs (take note, suri). while the love child is not scandalous by any means, i am a bit mystified by the adoption. how can ms jolie have mr pitt be the father of their child if they remain unmarried? what is that all about? who do they think they are, goldie hawn and kurt russell? more importantly, should we speculate that it is angeline who might want to remain free and not the other way around?
plus do they really think their gesture is helping gay people beyond being solidary? perhaps they are also advancing legislature without my knowledge. either way, a-list celebrity couples are getting annoying. especially their non-existing weddings.
the only justification i find for stalling would be a double wedding featuring brangelina AND tomkat. that would be so AWESOME and would truly be the wedding of the century. a contemporary aniston-vaughn rehearsal dinner would be in order.
moral of the story: get married already. or break up. i would like to see who angelina dates next.

I'm with you - either get married or don't - and as for tomkat - I saw in this week's "in touch" thatthey're speculating that she's prego again - bumpwatch!!!!
and the brangelina thing is SO annoying - really - she's already been married 9 times so what's one more?

I agree. Back in the fledgling stage of my feminism I took great pleasure in the blasé attitude toward marriage, but now that we've all reached the age of domestication, I find nothing more irritating than the resistance of marriage's legal form combined with the wholehearted embrace of its matter. NKB said it right -- get married or don't. If you're married, get MARRIED. At the very least, it's an excuse for a Very Lady Event.
It now occurs to me that the best argument in favor of gay marriage is that gay men would obviously have the BEST WEDDINGS EVER.

i did not mean to imply that they HAD to get married. my commitmentphobe self is simply enamoured with the french ability to be involved in very long term relationships without being married. (do they actually do that or is it an american construction?)
what i find annoying is their willingness to discuss marriage without doing it. if you are not getting married then shut up about why you are NOT doing it.
this, compounded with the presence of children is very distatesful. pitt is angelina s baby daddy. so weird.
