Did Brad and Angelina marry in secret? 'No'

Well, it doesn't get much clearer than a flat-out "no."

That's what a TMZ videographer got when he asked Angelina Jolie whether the gold band she's been sporting recently was a wedding ring.

Rumors have run rampant since Jolie stepped out last week without her enormous engagement ring, opting for a simple band instead.

Paparazzi swarmed the star Thursday as she made her way to a waiting car following a recent humanitarian trip to Africa.

When the pap yells out, "Is that a wedding ring, Angelina?!" she replies with a curt, definitive "No" just before the door to her blacked-out SUV closes.

In true TMZ fashion, the pap's follow-up is, "I want some of your wine, but it's sold out."
