Angelina Jolie's Doctor Says Twins Are "Weeks" Away

Fabulous views of the shimmering Mediterranean, tufty palm trees, all bathed in July sunshine. In short, a royal place for Brangelina's twins to make their much-awaited entrance to the world. Angelina Jolie's obstetrician, Michel Sussmann, called a news conference for Wednesday afternoon at the French Riviera hospital where she has been admitted and is expected to give birth.Sussmann's news may be a downer for some hoping the twins arrive before they light up the BBQ for the holiday weekend.Sussmann said Jolie is doing fine. He spoke at a short news conference Wednesday in Nice, where Jolie is hospitalized. Asked when Jolie is expected to have her twins, he replied "in the weeks to come."Sussmann stressed that Jolie checked into the hospital to be kept under surveillance, not because of any medical emergency.Brad Pitt was seen coming and going from the seafront Lenval hospital in Nice on Wednesday, with some of their children. Jolie and Pitt have four children: Maddox,Pax, Zahara and Shiloh.The hospital announced Tuesday that Jolie checked into its Santa Maria maternity clinic to be kept under doctors' watch and rest before she gives birth.Hospital spokeswoman Nadine Bauer said the births were "not for right away," but added that the actress will almost certainly stay in the clinic until then.The hospital, a boxy-looking building with a white exterior and mirrored blue windows set among palm trees, looks out over the sea.The hospital's address is fitting for the American couple: It's on California Avenue.
