Brangelina Named 2007 Couple of the Year; Zanessa, Speidi Snubbed

According to Us Weekly, adopting a child and helping with rebuilding efforts in New Orleans earns a couple more points than posing naked, starring in a record-breaking movie and paying celebrity gossip photographers to snap contrived pictures of yourselves making out, on the beach, in pumpkin patches...

For shame.

The drawn out complaint above is based on the fact that the tabloid has named Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as its couple of the year. Its reasoning?

"America couldn't stop watching Jolie and Pitt as they juggled two hot careers and went from three kids to four (Pax, 4, joined in March)..."

We're big fans of Brangelina, but they're so 2006. This year truly belonged to a pair of younger, over-exposed couples:

• Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens
• Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag

Told of the snub - even Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes beat he and Montag out for second place - Pratt said:

"Brangelina can have this award. I still have an angel in Heidi Montag, the most beautiful girl in the entire world. Plus I will be running for governor of California in 2010."
