Brad Pitt: Angelina Jolie Engagement “Made Sense,” But No Wedding Date Set

(GettyImages.com)

On Tuesday, Brad Pitt opened up — kind of — about his headline-making engagement to Angelina Jolie.

The actor broached the subject while speaking with reporters at a Cannes Film Festival press conference for his movie Killing Them Softly.

Pitt emphasized that he and Jolie “have no date” set for their nuptials, despite rampant tabloid rumors.

“We actually, really and truly, have no date,” said the star, adding that the couple is “still hoping” for same-sex marriage equality in the United States before they tie the knot themselves.

Pitt remarked that getting engaged was “something that made sense” to him and Jolie, even though there’s no marriage timetable.

Jolie was not at Cannes with her fiancé.

Pitt explained, “She’s prepping for a movie that starts pretty soon.”

Gossip Cop has been busting tabloid fabrications about alleged wedding details ever since Pitt and Jolie announced their engagement.

Here’s hoping Pitt’s own words will help quell rumors.

    It won’t if anything it will either make more ‘secret’ wedding plans or ‘break up because no date set’ rumors. If there is a will there is a way to make crappy false stories.

    I wish them well.

    Maybe they will be engaged until good press is needed and then they will elope!

  • WTF

    The engagement gives them something to talk about in interviews. It rejuvenates their aging brand. And they will marry when people get tired of the engagement because these two are ALWAYS playing every media angle.

    Angie could have easily taken off 24 hours and come to Cannes, but this way they start relationship problem rumors. Next week there will be lovely dovey photos. Rinse and repeat.

  • Greginmtk

    To WTF: WTF back at you. Explanation: Interviewer asks a question then reply is given. Their aging? A problem for all of us, I believe. Playing the media? Well, when the trash magazines stop paying the paps huge sums in order for you to buy… when the legitimate press stops reporting legitimate news of celebrity happenings… and when the people you love to hate continue living their lives better than most of us… But whatever will you do with all that hate? That’s a rhetorical question but then wtf.

  • WTF

    I love how people like you pretend celebrities don’t feed these trash tabloids, that this is somehow something they do not participate in. People will stop writing about BRANDgelina as soon as they stop inviting us into their lives 24/7. Just to promote Benjamin Button, they talked about their sex life, published private family photos of their kids, photos of Angelina breastfeeding, photos of a naked Angelina taking a shower.

    For their engagement they made the jeweler designer available for a million interviews even though everyone else around them usually has to sign confidentiality agreements. They gave People mag an exclusive on how the proposal went down, had Angie pose with the ring in front of the paps even though she was walking out of a building that had a secret entrance so she could skip the pap parade. The next day they gave the paps a heads up to where they were going on vacation so the paps could get there BEFORE them to get pictures of them arriving. They took the paps along on a “romantic” boat ride, invited them to photograph their beach time with the kids instead of having security chase them away, literally every minute of this engagement vacation was conveniently photographed by the paps. Apparently through no fault of their own. LOL

    It’s funny how they manage to disappear for months at a time, but when they have something to promote like a film or an engagement, they conveniently can’t seem to get any privacy while their loons blame others for this “loss of privacy”.

    My point is they willingly feed the tabloid machine. And they happily feed the people at CNN too.

    Your remark about the photos is hilarious and ironic considering no one has done more to up the price of photos than these two. $35 million just for baby photos. Funny how they never tried to pass the privacy laws they have in Europe making it illegal to publish photos of celebrity children, but chose instead to make celebrity photo business thrive beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. If you have a problem with the tabloid photo business take it up with Brad and Angelina.

  • Jaxtionjunkie

    If Angie is in pre-production for a movie, it’s actually unprofessional not to be there. Especially, if it’s in her contract.
    Yes, they could’ve let her go for 24 hours or whatever for Cannes, but I mean – she’s wanting Brad to have his time in the light since it’s his movie. He does the same for her. When she was on the press tour for SALT, he wasn’t there with her all the time.

    Relax. They don’t care about the rumors anyways. They’re still together after all this time, if they cared about the rumors, I don’t think they’d still be together.

  • Greginmtk

    As is characteristic of you detractors, your comments are based solely on purported news with misinformation, misread and misinterpreted by your kind and questionable in taste. Point: Europe does not have laws but does discourage intrusion and Europeans are not people whom enjoy said intrusions and lies but do respect the privacy of celebrities. Do you really believe that the Jolie/Pitts are so damn powerful that they can control coverage anyway? As for the ” tabloids” ( read gossip) what the hell do you think the paps and those questionable rags do but to make money ? nothing wrong with that, of course, but the Jolie/Pitts certainly don’t need attention nor have they ever asked for it or in any way encouraged it. Since the majority of shots of them going about their (and anyone else’s) normal
    life in walking down a street, getting in a car, etc., etc. is hardly publicity seeking, so why your vitriol? They have stated explicitly that they are fair game for attention as celebrities but their children should be left alone. My God, Ms Jolie can’t exit a building? And how absurd that you would even comment on it. or suggest otherwise. You seem to believe the speculation, projections, assumptions of the GOSSIP mags whom have always been suspect about whomever they write about. They’re hardly known for truth in reporting. How naive for you to presume otherwise. Also, you seem to be disadvantaged in your knowledge that a majority of photos taken are with long lenses., or candid shots sold to your assumed legitimate news sources. Family photos are arranged and photographed by
    legitimate magazines with money paid to the Jolie/Pitts and donated to their charities. I rather think that taken by intruders and sold to “press” sources to make money is preferable. Arrangement for persons of note arriving anywhere advance preparations must be planned and the site authorities must prepare (with photographers) accordingly. The engagement ring was shot by a private person at a private art show attended by the Jolie/Pitts and subsequently sold to one of your tabs, It was picked up by your tabloids, Procop was interviewed (Pitt made no announcement at all, mind you), and spoke accordingly. Your questionable point re signing a confidential agreement is then contradictory since how could Pitt even think about the succeeding feeding frenzy. What is questionable in this is my taking time to try correcting (ha!) the prejudices of you and your denigrating others. The more fool me but in turn the more a-holed you.

  • Greginmtk

    Correction paps and gossip magazines is NOT preferable. Charities benefiting certainly is.

  • WTF

    I’m not going to bother going through this nonsense point by point because I have learned you can win an argument with a loon. There just is no reality there, but good grief how you try to sound intelligent, but come off like a pretentious idiot instead, much like Pitt himself.

    I’ll just point out the end as an example.

    “Your questionable point re signing a confidentiality agreement is then contradictory…”

    What the hell? I mentioned the Jeweler didn’t have to sign one even though all the bodyguards, nannies, contractors and anyone else who comes into close proximity to them for long periods of time have to. Not sure what that has to do with the person asking Pitt questions.

    “And since how could Pitt even think about the succeeding media frenzy?

    First point: This is NOT the correct use of the word succeeding. Try using “ensuing” next time.

    Second point: Pitt didn’t know there would be a media frenzy about the engagement because he suddenly forgot he was famous?

    Seriously, you loons are so far off the charts when it comes to defending them, I just want to thank you for the pure entertainment value.

    WTF

  • WTF

    According to The New Yorker, a respectable publication if there ever was one, of the $35 million they made from selling baby pix, they gave $13 million to charity despite claiming ALL of it was going to charity. They pocketed $22 million all for themselves.

    Also, there ARE laws in Europe preventing the publication of celebrity children photos. I’m pretty sure it was Princess Caroline of Monaco who got them passed. Before Brad and Angelina even had their first kid.

    BRANDgelina never even made an attempt to pass a law like that in the U.S. because their children and their relationship IS the BRAND. This is why they will exploit their kids and their relationship until the end of time and why they roll out Kardashian style PR stunts. And the most shrewd, manipulative part is in the end, they can just claim it’s all for charity. Even when it’s not.

    There’s also a great piece in New York Magazine a few months ago about the economy of fame. Brad and Angelina get their own special section. Their fame has zero to do with the movies, which the writer points out, don’t make all that much money compared to other big names. It’s ALL about their relationship brand and about keeping the public interested in their relationship brand. They are no better than the Kardashians, only slicker.

  • smartchick

    I don’t think Brad and Angelina “pocketed $22 million” from the baby photos. They gave away $13 million THAT WE KNOW ABOUT…….and doesn’t the American government take 50% or more in taxes?

  • Anonymous

    why do you waste so much time of you’re life with writing all this negativity about brad and Jolie? I didn’t realize that you read people’s mind. yes it’s true there are celebrities that do this for interviews and attention, but Brad and Angie has always been talked about every single week. And how is this the start of the relationship problem? There are times when they go to other premiers and they are not always together.

  • Greginmtk

    I pretend nothing. I protest all prejudice, misinformation, lies and name calling. Your specious reasoning(?), ad hominem attacks and repeated untrue information makes further comment ridiculous.
    The Jolie-Pitts will continue to enjoy their life, their family, caring and giving to others. They could care less re any attacks — or any defense on my part. So enjoy your hate and prejudice, WTF and I will continue loving and caring in my time. Ta.

    Masses around the world will LOVE and Photograph them for a very long time…Whether you like it or not.
    You sound like a complete idiot.
    They are CELEBRITIES..try and cope with that…Would ya?

    Looking GOOOD Brad!!!!

  • His real hairline

    Looking like a lot of makeup and airbrushing. He is so fake. It wasnt that long ago that they were denying engagement rumors. Funny enough the only one benefitting form the engagement is brad Pitt as he is promoting a movie. The more he talks the more he lies but also the more he makes Angelina look like a dufus for being with someone so superficial.

  • Hisrealhairline

    Exactly why all of the headlines re:Pitt out of Cannes is this quote he made. Angelina could have went it’s only an hour away from where she’s working. She could be gona and back that same day. On the other hand maybe she’s tired of being made fun of every time she’s photographed.

  • WTF

    For the same reason you post negative articles about other celebrities so please get off your high horse and stop pretending you’re better than the rest of us. We get enough of that from BRANDgelina.

  • HeHasAlwaysBeenABeautifulMan

    Yes indeed…Superficial lends itself to helping a desperate world in need.It also take on children noone else wants and certainly superficial does not mind housing three babies in her womb and giving them life.
    There are alot of superficial stars…however these two are not them.

  • MaryKate

    Who gives a Sh*t…but you and a few other LOSERS…Grow Up.

    Dear Fauxherniendelight…that is your name when you post at Jezebel.com. Angelina Jolie really owns your ass BIG TIME. BTW, please stop making up lie regarding the New York interview. I have read it and you are a lying hater. The article NEVER said anything bad about the Jolie-Pitt’s and stated the money was donated to Charity.

  • Marshall

    I cannot image having no life and being so consumed by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to your degree.
    Must be hell for you.

  • http://twitter.com/melsulliv Melissa Sullivan

    Duh! They are celebrities and if the celebrity part offends you move on! Look up the def of celebrity. Or do you just expect these certain celebs to disappear when you wish? Who cares if they sell their face off of their head. That is their perogative, not yours. By the way, Europe, (which is a huge area other then England), does not have the laws as you state. Whatever the reason you want to try to degrade Angie for, only helps her. I, as well as millions more, think she is the bomb! So are you saying your problem with Angie is that she promote herself. Hah! That’s the name of the game in LA. You have an agenda. You have been trashing Angie for months under two names, look up you fav and why she is dating who she is. Justin has multiple high profile movies coming out now. Guess who wants to be in one this fall?

  • http://twitter.com/Miadodi Anon

    There is nothing superficial about Brad Pitt. He has also aged naturally unlike most celebs. You worship the real fraud and media manipulator Aniston. It is his job to promote his movie and he keeps being asked about his personal life. He did not lie about anything. All he said, was that he doesn’t have a date set for the wedding yet. There were tons of misreports claiming he was going to tie the knot in August. He had to comment on that because there would have been a paparazzi frenzy in August for no reason. He has done nothing but enhance Angelina Jolie’s life and integrity as a person.

  • http://twitter.com/Miadodi Anon

    We are not loons, we actually operate on facts and reality while you operate on misconceptions, slander, and distorting everything. We respond to that and defend them with truth and actual valid insights.

    All of your points are utter nonsense and just effective use of spin. You also repeat the same rubbish comparing them to the Kardashians who are a real PR brand and not to mention it is Aniston who seems to have a leverage over press spin and tabloid coverage to her actual benefit.

    They do not set the price. The media sets the price and creates the demand. Instead of being harassed to a potentially dangerous level by the paps for baby photos and having millions of dollars being wasted on the tabloid machine with unauthorized pics, they are able to gain some decent limited control. Millions of dollars go to charity and help people. These photos actual get to be accompanied by stories that contain some truth versus some sleazy inaccurate depiction some tabloid cooked up. Why would they allow themselves to be exploited by the media 100%?
    Every person understands this dynamic but the haters have to repeat the same bs argument when they know the situation is more extreme for Pitt-Jolie versus most celebs.

    The media will travel all over the world to get photos of them and will print stories regardless of what they say or do. They live in a fishbowl. They won’t hide or ruin their lives so they have to put up with it because they lead active lifestyles with a lot of traveling and it is their job to bring awareness to their work. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were top media targets way before they ever became a couple. Most people used to understand their situation before they wrongly turned against them over a false accusation. People like you to buy into every corrupt media angle and piece of press slander feed into this vicious cycle as well as make Aniston’s team benefit from this dynamic. Then the media corruption and exploitation increases. The media exploits them far more than any other celebrities in the world and they are making the best out of their situation. The media lacks boundaries when it comes to misportraying and exploiting them.

  • http://twitter.com/Miadodi Anon

    I can post a long essay addressing each of your nonsense points but I have addressed this before in other articles.

    The paps target them wherever they go. The tabloid machine will attack and exploit them no matter what they do or say. They are allowed like any celebrity to have their true fans to have some real access to their life instead of letting the media completely brainwash people with their distorted depiction and constant slanderous accounts that make them an object of obsessive unfounded hatred from fanatics and tabloids whores such as yourself. They do not invite us into their lives 24/7. They try to balance the best out of this horrid situation and unwanted exploitation as much as they can. Most of the coverage is negative overexposure and they have to constantly fight for some privacy. They don’t have the capacity for privacy that most other celebrities have because the media doesn’t allow that. Most of this coverage is detrimental and feeds into negativity.

    Most of their pics are candids. Any real informer observer can tell the difference between candids versus staged photos. They are the targets of overexposure. Most of it is negative, out of control, and unwanted. They don’t invite paps and it is sick for you to even suggest that considering what an oppressive presence this has become for them. You ignore the fact that Aniston has a more controlled dynamic with the media when they only photograph her at convenient times with her current staged romance or that one year where we got countless bikini pics. With Pitt-Jolie, it is snippets of their daily lives with their children or just attending a premiere or promoting a movie blown way out of proportion with circulation being overexposed because that is the standard the media set for them. It has been like this for Brad since 1994.

    By the way, the paps were at ALL entrances. Brad and Angelina don’t attend most of the events and parties they are invited to. They do the bare minimum that is necessary yet they still get attacked. Neither of them do any more interviews than most celebrities and they actually make far less public appearances

    They use their security guards and try to keep a low profile as much as they can in their daily lives when necessary. Their haters sometimes attack their security guards for being overprotective and now you are spinning it, in the other direction. Either way, they get attacked. It is their duty to promote their films and their causes. They, like most celebrities in the A-list need to allow at least some real access to their real lives instead of letting people be completely brainwashed by sleazy stories.

    Also, it is such a lie to pretend their careers and worth to the world don’t warrant this attention. Their careers and position in the industry warranted their A-list position way before they even became a couple. You are delusional to trash their careers and the impact they have had. It is other undeserving celebs like Aniston and Handler who have gained status over their brand.

    You are exaggerating accounts over one photoshoot by ignoring the fact they don’t do nearly as many personal exposes or photoshoots as most of their A-list peers. Even CW stars engage in far more PR than they do. They are protecting themselves from excessive exploitation and protecting the threat against their children by taking those measures. They do not constantly talk about their sex lives, what the hell are you talking about?!
    Angelina since being with Brad, has shown more class and restraint with her sexuality.

    Your account of the privacy laws in Europe is NOT even true. The media will travel everywhere to stalk them for photos and publish nasty stories. The majority of the media targets them with negative depictions filled with ugly lies and you act like this is beneficial for them. It is hell for them but they have to accomodate it to a certain extent to maintain their careers and not surrender to it completely. The majority of the media has a favorable Team Aniston bias and every outlet targets, trashes, and villifies them by promoting misconceptions and false claims to the extreme. You don’t question how Aniston managed to calculate this dynamic over a false accusation using a premise of a sin the media has never been so self-righteous against considering how many celebrity couples have actually committed the act. CNN is not as nasty as the others, so of course, you have to spin that as something else when most of the media coverage has been biased AGAINST them and favoring Aniston with puff pieces.

    Their staff has to sign confidentiality agreements to protect their privacy and prevent slander. The jeweler did not do a hundred interviews. He issued several statements to the media and it got circulated by a thousand media outlets. They did not create a frenzy around their engagement, the media did. They would have to announce and discuss their engagement regardless especially with their complicated circumstances to explain why they had to change their stance on getting married.

    Everything about them will get spun by you in a negative way. You call them PR whores and then you even trash them for being private too. Every point of yours included some lies. They get photographed on a weekly basis regardless of whether they have a movie out or not. Then you trash them for the brief periods when there is not excessive PR. They are targets and constantly have to deal with an invasion of privacy. They are handling it the best way they can. No other celebrity couple has to deal with this has much as they have to. They have to deal with the worst the media has to offer.

    You are the epitome of a true loon and deeply deluded minion.

    Im actually pretty positive she didn’t go because she knew the questions about their engagement would overshadow Brad’s film.

    better check your “facts”, the NY’er isn’t known as respectable. You honestly say that then show proof. The NY’er is a tabloid, you are confusing mags. They made 17 million on the first pic, all was donated to their charity. By the way, the person from the NY mag stated he was not talking about Angie or Brad, just a status on fame. You read articles wrong.

  • http://twitter.com/melsulliv Melissa Sullivan

    OK WTF, you obviously hate Angie, now get over it or get off sites that mention her. You spend way too much time paying attention to what she is doing. Move on.
