LOLLOBRIGIDA WEDDING OFF?

Italian actress GINA LOLLOBRIGIDA's wedding to her longtime Spanish boyfriend has been called off - according to Italian and Spanish reports. The 79-year-old star, who was hailed as the most beautiful woman in the world in her youth, met Spanish husband-to-be JAVIER RIGAU Y RAFOLS - 34 years her junior - at a party in Monte Carlo and they have been dating for 22 years. The couple were to wed next month (JAN07) in Rome but recent reports suggest otherwise. She is quoted as saying by the ANSA news agency, "Javier is desperate. Ever since we have announced this wedding, he has been tormented with lies and slander. "He can't take it anymore. For now there is no wedding and that's it." The COME SEPTEMBER star could not be reached for comment.
