George Clooney: "I'm Not Hosting Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's Wedding"  9/23/05

Hollywood actor George Clooney is stunned by reports he's planning to host a supposed wedding between his pal Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at his Italian villa.

Tabloids have reported that Mr and Mrs Smith co-stars Pitt and Jolie are set to wed in a private ceremony on Clooney's sprawling property by Lake Como, but the actor insists nothing of the sort is planned.

He says, "People have said they were going to get married at my house. Well, I would know, and I can tell you there's not going to be a secret wedding.

"I've met Angelina - I like her very much - but I would never talk about whether they are together or not. I don't speak of my own personal life - I would never speak of my friends."

In fact, Clooney adds, he and his Ocean's Twelve co-star Pitt don't even speak to each other about their romantic exploits.

He explains, "Brad and I have been friends for a long time and we don't talk about his relationships or his life, so I learn mostly about things that are going on in his personal life through magazines.
