Angelina Jolie checks into hospital

Paris: Angelina Jolie has checked into a hospital in the south of France where she is expected to give birth to her twins. Her obstetrician will address reporters at a conference later on Wednesday.

A spokeswoman for the Lenval Hospital in Nice, said Jolie is fine and that everything is going well. She said Jolie's admittance to the maternity wing had been planned for some time.

The 33-year-old actress will almost certainly remain in the hospital until she gives birth, she said. Jolie was admitted so she could be kept under normal surveillance — and is not expected to give birth immediately.

Jolie has said the babies are due in August. She and partner Brad Pitt have four children: Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, 2.

The Brangelina clan has been settling into a new home in the south of France. They recently moved into the Miraval Estate villa in the French hamlet of Correns, in the Provence region.
