Britney Spears Marries Childhood Friend in Vegas
Sources Say She Is Planing to Annul Quickie Wedding

MIKE FLEEMAN, People

(Jan. 4) -- 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.

Britney Spears Reportedly Marries in Las Vegas
44 minutes ago Add U.S. National - Reuters to My Yahoo!


LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Pop star Britney Spears married a childhood friend during an apparently impromptu wedding ceremony on Saturday in Las Vegas, according to published reports.

A marriage license was filed in Clark County, Nevada, on Jan. 3, for Jason Allen Alexander and Britney Jean Spears, both 22. Signed by both, the document says they are both residents of Kentwood, Louisiana, who were born in Mississippi.

Neither has been married before.

The wedding was only the latest lurch toward adulthood by the pop princess, a one-time children's television performer turned teen-aged sex symbol who most recently has posed scantily clad on magazine covers and kissed Madonna (news - web sites) on national television while promoting her latest album.

Spears married Alexander at the Little White Wedding Chapel on the Las Vegas strip early on Saturday, according to online reports by the Las Vegas Review Journal newspaper and People magazine.

The pop diva's most high-profile romance previously was with fellow pin-up Justin Timberlake, now enjoying a successful solo career after years with the boy band 'N Sync (news - web sites).

Spears admitted last year she had sex with Timberlake, despite famously vowing to remain a virgin until she wed.

Both publications said Spears was walked down the aisle by a Palms Hotel bellman.

Although confirming details of the marriage license, Reuters could not immediately reach Spears' representatives for comment. Representatives for the Little White Wedding Chapel and the Palms Hotel declined comment.

People reported that the Grammy-nominated Spears wore jeans and a baseball cap for the ceremony.

Spears shot to superstardom as a teen-ager with her debut album "...Baby One More Time." She released her latest, "In the Zone," in November, storming to number one on the music charts with the aide of a publicity blitzkrieg.

It was the singer's fourth consecutive No. 1 debut, but the album's first-week sales of 609,000 units fell short of her previous efforts, continuing her downward sales trajectory in recent years.

"Oops!...I Did It Again" sold 1.3 million units in its opening week in 2000.

To promote the album, Spears has seemed omnipresent, posing for magazines, appearing in several television interviews and causing a major stir -- and massive attention on the Internet -- with her sensational open-mouthed kiss with Madonna during the MTV Video Music Awards.

Spears will tour to support "In the Zone" for 2004.
