Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are slamming reports that they are planning to wed in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Rumours surfaced last week that the celebrity couple would wed in a simple and elegant ceremony with African music.

A representative for Pitt denies the reports, telling American publication Us Weekly, "It's all made up."

Pitt, 42, and Jolie, 31, have three children, six-month-old Shiloh Nouvel; Maddox, four; and Zahara, one.

The pair are currently in New York City to promote Jolie's new movie The Good Shepherd.

Pitt told Esquire magazine earlier this year that the couple had no plans to marry until "everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able".
