Pop star Britney Spears married a childhood friend from Louisiana in an early morning ceremony in Las Vegas but quickly arranged to have it annulled, people close to the entertainer said Sunday.
The 22-year-old Spears and Jason Allen Alexander of Kentwood, La., "took a joke too far by getting married" Saturday, her record label, Jive Records, said in a statement released to "Entertainment Tonight."
George Maloof Jr., owner and operator of the Palms Casino Hotel, said Spears and Alexander got married about 5:30 a.m. Saturday at a Las Vegas wedding chapel.
