Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2004 People.com article Just when you thought you'd seen it all from Britney Spears, the pop princess, 22, has gotten married -- at a little Vegas chapel, wearing a baseball cap, to a childhood friend, sources close to the singer say. A hotel bellman walked her down the aisle. But before you make any plans to send wedding gifts, a source close to the pop star insists it was all a joke that went too far, and that Spears is already making plans to annul the marriage. Says someone close to Spears: "I don't know what's going through her mind." Spears's husband -- at least for the time being -- is named Jason Allen Alexander, and, like the singer, is from Kentwood, La. The two tied the knot early Saturday morning in Las Vegas at the Little White Wedding Chapel on the Strip, sources tell PEOPLE. The wedding plan was apparently hatched Friday night while Spears and Alexander were partying at Ghostbar, the hip club in the Palms Casino Hotel. The club's bouncers got word that Spears wanted a limo. One of the hotel's lime-green limos was provided, being driven by a hotel bellman, who shuttled the couple to the Little White Wedding Chapel, a famous quick-hitch place where everybody from Dixie Chick Natalie Maines to Bruce and Demi have tied the knot. Chapel staff told the couple that they couldn't get married without a license, so the pair was taken by the limo to the Clark County Marriage Bureau office in the downtown Las Vegas courthouse at some point after 12:30 a.m. on Saturday. They applied for and were granted the marriage license, then rode back to the chapel, where they were married. Spears wore jeans and a baseball cap. Alexander had on a casual shirt. The bellman walked Spears down the aisle. There were no friends or family in attendance. The whole thing was videotaped by the chapel, and Spears has been showing the world's craziest wedding video to friends. "I don't even know if she loves him," says a source. The honeymoon, such as it was, took place back at a luxury suite at the Palms immediately after the wedding. Then, Saturday night, Spears dined with her manager, her brother, Palms owner George Maloof and a couple of friends at a hotel steakhouse. Little is known about Alexander. A source says that he and Spears were childhood friends who recently hooked up -- then hitched up. They had spent New Year's Eve together at the hotel's Rain nightclub, then retired to the suite. Spears released her fourth album, "In the Zone," last November. It debuted at No. 1 on the album charts. Her concert tour begins in San Diego on March 2.

EdwardKnoxII 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2004 http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,13204,00.html Britney Spears Married?! by Marcus Errico Jan 3, 2003, 10:45 PM PT Did Britney Spears commit her biggest oops yet? After a solid year of image-making-over, from wanton carousing to topless posing to Madonna macking, the pop tart just may have pulled her most un-Mouseketeer stunt to date--she reportedly got married in a quickie Vegas ceremony. According to various news outlets, Spears tied the knot with a childhood pal from her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana, Jason Allen Alexander. The Las Vegas Review-Journal says the two 22-year-olds were granted a marriage license from the city early Saturday morning. Spears' no-frills nuptials went down shortly afterward at the Little White Wedding Chapel on the Las Vegas Strip, with the Britster eschewing the designer-gown route for a baseball hat and jeans, according to People.com. She was escorted down the aisle by a hotel bellman and none of her family or friends was in attendance. Representatives for Spears were not immediately available Saturday night. People.com, citing unnamed sources "close to the singer," reports that Spears' vow-swapping foray was a joke "that went to far." In a move that would put Shannen Doherty to shame, the Website says Spears plans to annul the union ASAP. According to the site, Spears and Alexander got matrimonial-minded Friday, after (surprise!) a night of heavy-duty partying at the hipster Ghostbar in the Palms Casino Hotel. Spears had the resort shuttle her and her newly betrothed via limo to the chapel, a Sin City destination of choice for celeb I-do's that has played host to Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, Natalie Maines, Michael Jordan and even Frank Sinatra. It was the Palms bellman who reportedly chauffeured the couple to the county courthouse sometime after 12:30 a.m. to obtain their wedding license; he then doubled as the giver-away of the bride back at the chapel. The ceremony was apparently recorded by the officiants and a copy was given to Spears and her hubby. People.com says the newlyweds retired back to the Palms for a honeymoon in one of the casino's swankiest suites. The missus reportedly spent Saturday night at a hotel restaurant with her manager, her brother, some friends and the owner of the Palms, George Maloof. This is, of course, the first trip to the altar for Spears, who famously dated fellow popster Justin Timberlake for several years and most recently was linked to one of her backup dancers, Columbus Short. According to tabloid reports, Short left Spears in November and went back to his pregnant wife. In an October interview with Newsweek, Spears talked about getting married and having kids--in about five years, though. Then again, that was before Alexander made the scene. Alexander, who we presume bears no relationship or resemblance to the similarly monikered Seinfeld alum, is new on the Britney radar. He is said to be an old acquaintance of Britney's who recently reacquainted himself with her. They reportedly spent New Year's Eve at a Palms nightclub before leaving together. Maybe the wedding news will help goose sales of Spears' latest album, In the Zone. The disc debuted at number one in November and has sold 2 million copies since--not bad, but nowhere near the 10.5 million in sales for her biggest album, ...Baby One More Time. No word on whether Spears and Alexander plan on extending their honeymoon, but Britney has some free time before beginning rehearsals for her next tour, which is set to kick off March 2 in San Diego.

TSA09 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2004 Well this sure didn't last long. http://entertainment.msn.com/news/article....spx?news=145240 Pop star Britney Spears married a childhood friend from Louisiana in an early morning ceremony, but quickly arranged to have it annulled, a source close to Spears told The Associated Press Sunday. George Maloof Jr., owner and operator of the Palms Casino Hotel, confirmed that the 22-year-old singer married Jason Allen Alexander about 5:30 a.m. at a Las Vegas wedding chapel. "Nobody knew it was coming," said Maloof, Spears' good friend. A source speaking on condition of anonymity told The Associated Press that Spears was a "little stunned" about getting married to Alexander but was not drunk at the time. The source said the two arranged an annulment Saturday afternoon in the presence of several people, including a Las Vegas lawyer. The signed annulment will be official when the courts open Monday morning, the source said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
