Hollywood power couple

Brad Pitt

and

Angelina Jolie

are supposedly getting ready to get hitched after six years and six kids together.

Indeed, it's that particular time of the month for a breathless 'Brangelina are revving up to trot down the aisle' rumour. Needless to say, we've been here many, many times before - with nary a finger bling nor a nuptial result.

Three separate sources now 'confirm' to

Us Magazine

that a wedding will take place within the next few months.

The report says that the location for the highly-anticipated "I do's" is unknown, but claims one potential venue could be the couple's newly-renovated Chateau Miraval in Correns, France - which just so happens to feature a 16th-century chapel. You mean you don't have one?

But don't expect any pomp and circumstance. Unlike Pitt's 2000 wedding to

Jolie, 36, and Pitt, 47, have made it pretty clear in the past that they won't tie the knot until everyone, whether gay or straight, can get hitched.

"Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able," Pitt told

Esquire

magazine in 2006.

In May, Pitt told USA Today said he and Jolie had given the idea of marriage more thought, mainly because it was something the kids -

, 5, and twins

and

Knox

, 3 - were up for it.

"The kids ask about marriage," the actor said. "It's meaning more and more to them. So it's something we've got to look at."

Neither Pitt nor Jolie's reps have responded to Us Magazine's report.

Like I say, we've been here before. Got the invite, dry-cleaned the suit, bought the his 'n' hers towels - only to be jilted at the altar as the fabled nuptials went up in smoke.

Although I'd like it to be true - I love a good wedding - judging by the mag's lack of concrete info, I'm in no hurry to clear my schedule. Until there's a ring on that finger, my cynical eyebrow remains well and truly raised.

Hot new couple: Ryan Reynolds and Charlize Theron?

Well blow me down; I didn't see this one on the cards.

Ryan Reynolds

, 34, and

Charlize Theron

, 35, are reportedly a couple.

A source tells Us Magazine (they have been busy!) that the pair "have been dating - for months! They're exclusive, and it's very hush-hush."

Reynolds split from wife

Scarlett Johansson

last December, while Theron split from her longtime bloke,

Stuart Townsend

, in January of 2010.

Witnesses also claim that Reynolds' motorcycle was spotted at Theron's home all morning on June 5. He left at 3pm, and she followed suit later. That's some stakeout!

A snitch tells the mag that although the romance is on the up, we're not to expect any red carpet PDA from the two. "She won't go to an event with him," says the source of Theron. "That's not her style."

Nor is getting married. Theron told

Piers Morgan

in an interview last month that she has no intention of trotting down the aisle.

"I really want for myself a long-term relationship, and I have been in long-term relationships," she said.

"That's the kind of union that I want. The actual ceremony is not something that is important to me, but I see the importance for other people."

Asked if she'd ever see herself getting wed, she said: "I don't...I treat my relationships like marriages, I really do."

Meanwhile, just to muddy the waters,

Life & Style

magazine reports that Ryan and his ex Scarlett were spotted enjoying a cosy dinner at L.A.'s Little Dom's restaurant on Saturday night.

A source says: "Scarlett was being very flirty with him, staring into his eyes and listening very intently to everything he was saying.

"The way Ryan looked at her, you could tell he still has feelings for her." and were "leaning in closely to each other when talking".

Adds the source: "Scarlett kept pinching Ryan's cheeks and caressing his face and while they were chatting, Ryan would rub her back periodically. Something's definitely up."

Too right there is. Confused? Same here.

I'll keep you posted...

Reese Witherspoon preggers?

"Reese Looks Pregnant!" booms the latest issue of

OK! Magazine

Rumours have been rife for months that Witherspoon and her new hubby

Jim Toth

are feeling the need to breed.

"It's no secret that Reese wants to have children with Jim," an insider tells the latest issue of the mag. "They have been trying for some time now. They are already a wonderful family - the only thing missing is a new baby."

According to OK!, Witherspoon sparked the pregnancy rumours when "she wore a shirt over her bikini during a family outing in Malibu" over the Fourth of July weekend.

"Reese may be pregnant already. Her stomach isn't washboard flat and people have definitely noticed," says an insider. "She's relaxed her exercise routine a lot - Reese typically hits the pavement for a long run every morning."

"Right now, everyone's just waiting for Reese to make the announcement," says another source.

Well, they may be in for a bit of a wait. Another source tells

Gossip Cop

that Witherspoon is definitely "not preggers."

Arnold's memoir

Not to be outdone by his soon-to-be-ex-wife

Maria Shriver

, who is reportedly being touted to pen a tell-all memoir,

Arnold Schwarzenegger

is also keen to put pen to paper.

According to the

New York Post

, Arnie was actually on the verge of signing a book deal in April. But when news of his love child with Midlred Baena broke in May, the deal was off.

Sources say Arnie's lawyers were perusing an agreement for a multimillion-dollar memoir deal, while searching for a ghostwriter for the book.

"He wanted to break a record with his payout," a source said.

Arnie's rep told the Post at the time: "I can confirm that the governor is considering a memoir and has looked at offers from different publishers."

But now that news of Arnie's infidelity with his housekeeper has imploded, publishers think the actor's "untouchable" and no longer the "sympathetic character" he once was. Are they sure this is the same Arnie?

"No woman is going to pay to read Arnold's story through his eyes," a source tells the Post. "Maria has a story to tell, and she's a known, best-selling author."

doesn't suffer fools - especially the warring kind.

"Get the f**k out of my show, right now," screamed Grohl after a fight broke out during his iTunes Festival show with the Foo Fighters on Monday in London.

Spotting the fighting going down in the crowd, Grohl stopped the band mid-song, and let rip with an expletive-laden rant.

"No, no, no, no, no, stop. You don't f**king fight at my show, a**hole," Grohl fumed.

"Who's fighting right now? Who's fighting? Let me see you...Hey, in the striped shirt, look at me, look at me. Get the f**k out of my show right now," he said.

"You don't come to my show and fight, you come to my show and dance, you a**hole!"

Grohl then calmly picked up the song where he left off.
