The ballroom where the discussion happened was standing room only, and many attendees admitted that they probably wouldn't have shown up to the event if Jolie hadn't been there. Angelina Jolie nearly stole the limelight from Army Gen. David H. Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker yesterday with her own remarks on Iraq at the Council on Foreign Relations, which had to move the standing-room-only event to the ballroom of the Washington Club to accommodate the crowd and television cameras. Paparazzi and gawkers swarmed outside.
Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis are getting married on June 14, it has been claimed.

The pair ? who have been together for over 10 years and have two children, eight-year-old Lily-Rose and six-year-old Jack ? have always insisted they don't feel the need to legalize their relationship, but French singer Vanessa is now keen to tie the knot.

A source close to the couple is quoted on website MSNBC as saying: "Vanessa recently told Johnny that she would love to have a wedding."

"Johnny loves Vanessa very much, and he said if that's what would make her happy, then he would marry her."

"Pirates of the Caribbean" star Johnny ? who recently said the couple were "for all intents and purposes married" ? is planning to have the ceremony in Georgia to make it convenient for his family who live in Florida.
