Angelina Jolie In French Hospital To Have Her Twins

A French magazine reported on its website Wednesday morning that Angelina Jolie had given birth to her twins, a report they have now backed away from. However, a hospital spokeswoman confirms Angelina has checked in as planned to give birth:

Brangelina's twins aren't here yet, but the big day is drawing closer. The seafront Lenval hospital in Nice in the south of France said Tuesday that Angelina Jolie had checked in at its Santa Maria maternity clinic to be kept under doctors' surveillance and get some rest before she gives birth.

"There's no urgency. It's been planned for a long time," said Nadine Bauer, a hospital spokeswoman. "She's very well. Everything is fine."

"She is not on the verge of giving birth, not at all," she said. "It's not for right away."

Jolie and partner Brad Pitt have been holed up in the South of France since May, having recently moved into Chateau Miraval with their four kids.

According to Closer this morning:

En exclusivite mondiale, Closer est en mesure de vous annoncer qu'Angelina Jolie aurait accouché ce matin dans un hôpital français ! La star serait rentrée hier soir en salle de travail. Toute reproduction interdite sans la mention du site closermag.fr

Translation: Angelina went into labor Tuesday night and gave birth this (Wednesday) morning in a French hospital. The AP story confirms the hospital admittance, but not the birth.

However, later Wednesday Closer changed their story and said only that she was in the hospital awaiting the twins' birth:

"Angelina Jolie will give birth in the following days.

This morning we informed you that Angelina Jolie was supposedly giving birth.The actress is actually under observation at Lanval hospital in Nice. She was admitted on Sunday afternoon and should remain there until she gives birth of her twins. She is to be due in the upcoming days."

Meanwhile, In Touch responded to the initial birth story with this::

"Angelina's babies are expected to be delivered by French doctor Michele Sussmann and her regular OBGYN Jason Rothbart, who is due to fly to Europe later this week."

Angelina has "reportedly" given birth before, with "Entertainment Tonight" claiming she did a month ago and refusing to back down. But, Brad Pitt has traveled a lot since, doubtful if he had two preemie twins at home, and In Touch has pictures of a still-pregnant Jolie last week.

Here's Closer's Wednesday morning report;

Two Cancer signs. Good Luck, you'll need it.

Jolie must want each birth to be special; hence, France (this time around). But really ... going so far isn't necessary. There are many, excellent "Level 3" hospitals in the States, which provide excellent care for both new Mom & babies. I know ~ I had identical twin daughters 14 years ago in my area & they turned out lovely!

Yeah, but your food's lousy !

;-)

[GrandyK]

. . . and you do nothing to keep the paparazzi away from the hospital and you sell peoples' medical records to the tabloids.

[shedances]

True! But lousy food or not ... most new Moms are anxious to get home. Hard to do when you're in France, eh? And, after being exhausted & sore from labor & sick from any drugs you had to take during delivery (not to mention sore nipples from newborns learning to latch on ...), you barely notice the bland hospital diet. LOL

[SHOPARAZZI]

FINALLY! Entertainment Tonight will finally retract its story(ies) that the Jolie-Pitts were NOT born last month.

[writerforhire]

I guess I'll post some real advice: Have an epidural and have your PR rep explain that it was a long hard labor but you were committed to natural child birth.

Good health to you and your children.

[SHOPARAZZI]

there's always the infamous cruise-holmes scientolo "quiet" birth. then again, that didnt seem to work out well for their "image."

[DrCalif]

I hear Brittney Spears has switched to a new brand of apple juice.

Got a link ?

Pleeez, I can't wait !

As a father and grandfather, I wish the twins health and happiness. I would like to commend the Producers of Wanted for the exact OPENING in relation to Ms. Jolie's delivery. You all counted the days very well. You almost had it to the day! Bon Chance, Sincerely bigmikecraft

Princess Di is wearing a new dress.

[andvoodoo2]

WTF? This is in very poor taste.

[dotmafia]

The line is a lyric from a Depeche Mode song called "New Dress".

It is about how people focus on mundane, non-important things when there is so much suffering and misery in the world.

[bigmikecraft]

The studios are very happy. They planned the release of Wanted to almost the exact day of delivery. What a coup. I love her looks and do wish her the very best. As a father of 2 boys and a grandfather of 2 girls, I wish the babies health, and happiness. Money they already have! Sincerely faithbase.comfaithbase.com

[GertrudeStein]

Of course. The studios are the biggest Fat Cats on the planet. All all of her films totally suck!

She is the absolute worst actress alive.

And they know just exactly when to release her "blockbust­er." They're no slouches when it comes to perfect timing.

God Bless America!

[omgurkidding]

Gertrude, is there ANYTHING you don't berate? Angelina is a wonderful actress! Did you see "A Mighty Heart"? Probably not - it was probably out of your depth.

[resistance]

felicitations

[Deschanel]

Uh, how could they write that the twins were born Wednesday morning, since as i write this it is still only 6pm Tuesday in France.

Actually, the French version only says"this morning" -ce matin- and it's the translator telling us it's speaking of Tuesday and Wednesday. When this part at least, isn't. Pretty sloppy.

[thankulord13]

Who cares gas cost more than $4!

[drec1500Madrid]

Don't worry Angelina and Brad will swoop down and save you from high fuel prices.

Brad is writing an advanced computer program on his home-built supercomputer that will thwart the evil oil speculators and Angelina is using her comely looks to get OPEC to quadruple production.

We are SO lucky to share the same planet with these two.

[shedances]

Ha, ha. Wonder why other high profile celebs have their babies in the States; but these two won't? Do our many fine hospitals & maternity wards & neonatal units just not cut the Jolie/Pitt mustard?

[scorpioleidy]

I hope it's true, and I hope the twins are healthy ... Congrats Brad & Angie ... VIVA BRANGELINA!!!

Jennifer Aniston, eat your heart out!

[Jinxykb]

Now, who does that help?

[speakyourmind]

Weak

[marymansour]

"Jennifer Aniston, eat your heart out!"

That's nasty. Jennifer Anniston didn't do anything but get screwed around on.

[firewmn]

why would you say such a hateful thing.. You are mean..!

[AngryAmish]

At least Jennifer isn't still trying to decide b/w Obama and McCain.

[kellygrrrl]

congrats!

Tabloid!
