  • Story Text: A spokesman for Angelina Jolie on Tuesday (July 2) said the actress is "doing great" following reports that she has checked into a hospital in Nice, France, ahead of the birth of twins.
    Media reports said the 33-year-old Oscar winner, whose partner is actor Brad Pitt, was admitted to the Lenval Hospital on Monday, citing a hospital spokeswoman.
    Jolie's Los Angeles spokesman said in an e-mail to Reuters that she is "doing great, very healthy and happy," but he declined to elaborate or confirm her medical treatment.
    Jolie, star of current hit movie "Wanted," and Pitt, of "Ocean's Eleven" fame, are two of Hollywood's biggest stars. They went public with their relationship after co-starring in the 2005 film "Mr. & Mrs. Smith."
    They have one biological daughter together, Shiloh, who was delivered by Caesarean section two years ago in the southern African nation of Namibia.
    The couple are also the parents of three adopted children -- daughter Sahara from Ethiopia, son Pax from Vietnam and son Maddox from Cambodia.
    One U.S. celebrity magazine has said Jolie is pregnant with two girls while a rival publication had it as a boy and girl. A British tabloid published the supposed names of the yet-to-be-born children.
    A nurse who works in the Lenval Hospital children's ward said Jolie probably chose the hospital because of its quality.
    "Angelina Jolie, I think she chose this hospital for the quality of service and maybe for the medicine, the best in Nice," said Raffi.
    Jolie confirmed at the Cannes film festival in May that she was having the babies. It was her co-star in the movie "Kung Fu Panda," Jack Black, who said in interviews at Cannes that she was expecting twins.
