Angelina Jolie’s obstetrician is giving a news conference to talk about his famous patient and her eagerly awaited twins.

The seafront Lenval hospital in Nice, on the French Riviera, says Jolie has checked into its Santa Maria maternity clinic to be kept under doctors’ watch and rest up before she gives birth.

The clinic has invited reporters to a news conference later Wednesday with Dr. Michel Sussmann. (more…)

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.”

The 33-year-old actress will almost certainly remain in the hospital until she gives birth, Bauer said. She said Jolie was admitted recently but would not say exactly when. (more…)

Actress ANGELINA JOLIE has been dropped as the face of Japanese cosmetics giant SHISEIDO to make room for a new celebrity face.

The 33-year-old star signed on as the brand’s ambassador in 2006 - but after two years of appearing in commercials and print ads for the brand, she has been outed from her post by British supermodel model Agyness Deyn.

Deyn can be seen as the brand’s new spokesmodel in their Fall 2008 Maquillage ad campaign.
It’s not the only contract pregnant Jolie has lost - she parted company with fashion house St. John last month (May08), ending a three-year relationship with the company.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s love for children is by no means limited to their own: The couple has donated $1 million to help kids affected by the war in Iraq, the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict announced Wednesday.

The organization will distribute the donation, made through the couple’s Jolie-Pitt Foundation, to four organizations working on behalf of children who have lost parents, homes and schools in Iraq. Children in the U.S. who have lost parents in the conflict will also benefit.

“These educational support programs for children of conflict are the best way to help them heal,” said Jolie in a written statement from Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which she co-chairs. (more…)

Contrary to reports, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are not selling their New Orleans home, according to The Times-Picayune.

“This rumor going around that they’ve sold or are selling their house in New Orleans is not true,” Trevor Neilson, a rep for the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, told the newspaper. “It’s just made up, as are a lot of things that are said about them.”

The couple purchased the $3.5 million abode in the Big Easy’s French Quarter in January 2007. It has served as a home base for Pitt’s work with the Make It Right Foundation, as well as his time filming “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”

Pitt and Jolie, who is pregnant with twins, recently signed a lease on the spacious, private Chateau Miraval in France.

How hot does Angelina Jolie look in leather?

Yeah, way hot!

And now you can own one of the leather jackets that she wears in her new action flick, Wanted.

The buzz at the “Wanted” premiere last week — attended by James McAvoy, Terence Stamp and Thomas Kretschmann — was that Angelina Jolie is expected to give birth to her twins on July 4.

Neither Angie nor her co-star Morgan Freeman were at the LA Film Festival’s opening-night premiere of their much-anticipated action film. But she was still the talk of the carpet and the after-party.

“Four different people — from publicists for the festival to studio publicists — told me in confidence that the birth will take place on July 4,” Dish Rag’s Deep Throat reports.

The supposition among Brangelina-watchers is that Angelina Jolie will probably have another caesarean delivery, which can be scheduled to suit her desired due date. (more…)

There’s sexy, and then there’s scary-sexy.

Angelina Jolie certainly earns the extra adjective.

Those lips simultaneously pout and snarl, those eyes smolder, and her body seems specifically designed for seduction or attack.

That added sense of danger is what separates Jolie from all the other leading ladies of Hollywood. She frightens even as she tempts.

On-screen, she can be fearsome (Tomb Raider, Mr. & Mrs. Smith), blazing guns and throwing punches in costumes that are part dominatrix, part commando. She can be sentimental, as in A Mighty Heart, TheGood Shepherd or the upcoming 1930s drama Changeling, but those aren’t part of the mystique and have been less popular with audiences than her glamorous roles.

Billy Bob Thornton was not responsible for claiming his ex-wife Angelina Jolie is going through “a high school phase,” according to a rep for the “Bad Santa” star.

On Monday, a story circulated on the internet, claiming Billy Bob bashed Angelina’s relationship with paramour Brad Pitt.

“She is just going through a high school phase. You know, dating the quarterback of the football team with Brad Pitt over there,” Billy Bob was quoted telling AskMen.com at a press launch for his new music album. “She’ll be waking up from that dream in no time.”

There’s no doubt that meeting Angelina Jolie can be nerve-wracking – but her Wanted costars say the superstar mom is incredibly down-to-earth.

“It’s a little intimidating, someone like her who is presented as a goddess. [But] it takes, like, 30 seconds and you figure out she’s just a cool woman,” Wanted actor Thomas Kretschmann said at the film’s press day Monday.

The German actor, who plays an assassin in the action flick out June 27, also described Jolie as “a cool mommy.” (more…)

Hollywood actress ANGELINA JOLIE is reportedly in talks to become the latest celebrity to launch a fragrance line.

Stars including Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera and Gwen Stefani have all created their own highly successful perfume ranges.

And now Jolie is said to be working with French fragrance house Coty - the company that launched Sarah Jessica Parker’s signature scents - to create her own line of products.

A source tells British newspaper The Mail on Sunday, “Angelina wants a very strong input. She wouldn’t want a fragrance that she didn’t feel encapsulates her.”

“They are trying to get the other kids into a local nursery in September. They both want the kids to live normal lives, and they’re going to stay in France.” (more…)

Angelina Jolie has one less reason to rush back into shape following the still-pending birth of her twins.

The star’s three-year contract as spokesmodel for knitwear giant St. John has finally come to a close.

“It was a great run we had…three years is a long time to maintain any campaign, and we felt it was time to do something new and different,” the brand’s CEO, Glenn McMahon, told Women’s Wear Daily of the decision to move on. (more…)
