The mayor of Braccianesi, Italy, Patrizia Riccioni

Residents of Braccianesi, Italy, are pissed that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes snubbed the host city the day of their celebrated wedding. Even though the city of Bracciano went out of its way to accommodate Tom and Katie (Many trashcans were repainted; roads closed; etc.) starstruck residents were left disappointed as Tom and Katie blew right past them on their way to Odescalchi Castle, not even taking the time to stop for a few pictures. Others are pissed that Tom invited the mayor of nearby Rome, Walter Veltroni, but not the local mayor, Patrizia Riccioni (pictured above).

Riccioni said, "They put up with all the inconveniences very patiently including the roads being closed and parking restrictions. It would have been nice if the couple had showed themselves to the public even for a brief moment - maybe at a window or from a balcony." Still, there are no hard feelings. "I have nothing against the couple to who I am very grateful for all the international publicity," she added. "It's likely it was just a slip up by the organizers of the wedding."

This is so like Hollywood to callously snub adoring fans. Last month I went out of my way for Jessica Biel. I shaved my chest, painted a huge heart on it, and knocked on her back door at 2 a.m. holding a bouquet of red roses (only the most romantic time of the night!). And what do I get for my troubles? Some bogus "trespassing" charge and a face full of pepper spray. Well guess what Jessica, there's plenty of woman who DO like my washboard abs and are NOT embarrassed by my chiseled features. The loss is yours.
