Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are planning a fairytale Christmas wedding in South Africa.

The Hollywood couple will tie the knot in a small village outside Johannesburg, according to reports in the US.

Sources say they were persuaded to pick the venue after talking to chat show queen Oprah Winfrey.

An insider said: “They are treating their marriage like a spiritual affirmation and don’t need big Hollywood glitz like Tom Cruise had in Italy.”

The ceremony will include traditional African music and will be “simple and elegant”, a friend of the couple told US magazine OK!

The pal adds: “They are so much in love.

“Brad and Angelina have waited a long time for this chapter in their lives to unfold.”

It comes after Jolie and Winfrey have grown close after the TV host was impressed by Jolie’s humanitarian efforts.

She is said to have told her: “When you have the chance to capture lightning in a bottle you need to go for it.”

The pal said: “Ange is grateful to have a big sister in Oprah, a person who understands her fears of commitment but is also a kindred spirit.”

Winfrey, 52, is expected to be among several stars attending the low-key event, shortly before Christmas.

She founded the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in a village south of Johannesburg.

Madonna, her husband Guy Ritchie, actor George Clooney and Jolie’s co-star Daniel Craig are also said to be going.

Jolie was previously married to actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton.

Wow, hot.

Angelina Jolie has allegedly been left fuming after Jennifer Aniston invited Brad Pitt’s parents for a Thanksgiving dinner at her home.

The ‘Tomb Raider’ actress - who has a six-month-old daughter, Shiloh Nouvel, and two adopted children, Maddox, five, and 22-month-old Zahara, with Brad - is said to be infuriated by Jennifer’s close relationship with her former in-laws.

Angelina, 31, has reportedly accused the former ‘Friends’ actress of “poking her nose into family matters”.

A source told Britain’s Star magazine: “She is distraught that the woman who is practically her mother-in-law is continuing to mix with Brad’s ex wife.” Angelina is said to be so insulted she has cancelled an arranged family get together with Brad’s parents, Jane and Bill, at her and Brad’s Malibu home around Christmas time.

Dorothy Krebs, a friend of the couple, said: “Angelina seems to have made a stand and whatever Jane and Bill do, they can’t find favour with her.”

The Thanksgiving visit is said to have occurred after Brad’s parents arrived in Malibu to see their son and Angelina without realising the couple were in India filming ‘A Mighty Heart’.

After discovering they had nowhere to go, Jennifer invited the Pitts to have Thanksgiving dinner at her house instead.

Jennifer’s friend Tonya Hart said: “Jen was just coming to Brad’s rescue. His folks bought the tickets ages ago. Jennifer thought she was doing good, but apparently it’s whipped up a hornet’s nest with Angelina.”

At just 8 weeks old, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt has gotten a tribute once reserved for Oscar winners and world leaders: her own wax figure.

The daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has been immortalized at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York City in the museum’s first-ever wax infant replica, PEOPLE reports in its new issue.

The just-unveiled figure, which took two weeks to fashion, naps perpetually beneath the calm – or vacant? – gaze of her wax parents in a jungle-themed nursery as soft African lullabies play. “Even though she’s just a few months old, Shiloh is already an iconic figure in world popular culture,” says Madame Tussauds general manager Janine DiGioacchino. And to honor Shiloh’s parents’ commitment to charity, while the exhibit lasts Madame Tussauds will give $1 to UNICEF for every Pitt-Jolie family photo that visitors buy. “We are proud to follow Angelina’s and Brad’s good example by donating to UNICEF – an organization dedicated to preserving children’s rights around the world,” DiGioacchino says.
