Angelina’s obstetrician, Michel Sussmann gave a press conference across the street from the hospital today.

Here’s an update from The AP.

He (Dr. Sussmann) said her hospitalization “was scheduled for a long time.”

“This is not an emergency situation,” he added. “Her hospitalization at this stage in her pregnancy is totally normal for a patient who had a Caesarean (section) during her first pregnancy.”

Her stay at the seaside hospital here could be a relatively long one. The doctor said she would remain in the hospital until the babies are delivered and that could be “in the weeks to come.”

“I can’t give you a date,” he said.

Oh, come on … give us a date … pleaaaase?

Sussmann said four rooms had been reserved for the couple and a pair of security guards — debunking rumors that they had taken over the entire fifth floor.

“I find it legitimate that she wants to protect her privacy. She is a pregnant woman,” he said.

The hospital is doing the utmost to protect the privacy of the couple — who for the birth of their first child went to Namibia to evade attention.

The media briefing to a gaggle of journalists jostling for position was held across the street from the hospital. And as of Tuesday, a sign hangs on the visitor’s desk inside the lobby: “Journalists are forbidden to enter the premises, except with the authorization of the administration.”

... sounds like this will play out like a long term hostage scene. Nice is not Namibia. The media will be swarming the hospital until the babies come.

Here’s the best part:

Apparently unaware that the stars are unmarried, the doctor said: “Mrs. Angelina Jolie and her husband, Mr. Brad Pitt, told me to tell you that she is doing absolutely fine.”

Well, at least now he has some time to really get to know his patient.

She arrived by helicopter and has a whole floor of the hospital to herself. Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie’s stay in a French clinic where she is due to give birth to twins will be no ordinary one.

The 33-year-old movie star has been at the Lenval hospital in the southern French city of Nice since Sunday, sources there say, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the secrecy surrounding the famous patient.

Jolie will be in the care of doctor Michel Sussman, and has a corner room looking out on to the Mediterranean sea.

Pitt, 44, also has a room on the fifth floor of the building, which has been sealed off for their family and entourage and secured by bodyguards.

Sussman is expected to give a press conference about his famous patient later on Wednesday, as the world’s media seeks fresh news about “Brangelina,” arguably Hollwood’s most famous couple.

Angelina Jolie has gone into the hospital in the south of France where she expects to give birth to twins.

Nadine Bauer, a spokeswoman for the Lenval Hospital in Nice, said Jolie is fine and that everything is going well. She said the actress’ admittance to the hospital’s maternity wing had been planned for some time.

Bauer said that Jolie will almost certainly remain in the hospital until she gives birth. She said Jolie was admitted so she could be kept under surveillance, and not to give give birth immediately.

Bauer would not say when Jolie was admitted.

So, I missed on my June 27th prediction. It sure is cool to be within a week of that prediction. I know my Brangelina.

What’s great about birth rumors are that sooner or later they will be true. I’m thinking the breaking story will first come from People Magazine.

While mommy is hitting the big screen again, her little cutie Shiloh will have to wait until Dec. 19 for her official debut. Still, you can get a peak at her in this trailer for “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. Shiloh is the baby in Brad’s lap watching the balloon float away.

tick, tick, tick, ... now my prediction of June 27th is about to expire.

The Jolie-Pitt Foundation has given $500,000 to three groups in the war-torn country which will provide aid for some 5,700 children, said the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which is co-chaired by Jolie.
