Rumors are actress Angelina Jolie and partner baby dad, actor Brad Pitt have welcomed twins, a son and daughter, in France. The babies names are Viviene Marcheline, for Angelina’s late mother, and Knox Leon, for Pitt’s father. Each baby weighed five pounds, with the boy weighing just over, at five pounds, three ounces. This makes six children for the pair, who have Maddox, Zahara, Pax, Shiloh, and now, the twins.

Also, there is a rumor Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are expecting their second child. And, Nigel Barker, ‘America’s Next Top Model’ judge and photographer confirmed he and his wife are expecting their second child. Season five ‘American Idol’ finalist Paris Bennett is expecting a baby, as is season two finalist Carmen Rasmussen. Gwen Stefani and rocker husband Gavin Rossdale will welcome their second child any day now.

Matt Damon and his wife will also welcome another baby into their family. Not to mention Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz will become parents in a matter of months as well. And, Zac Hanson and wife, Kate Hanson welcomed their first baby, John Ira Shepherd Hanson in early June, and Zac’s brother Isaac Hanson and his wife Nikki welcomed their second son, James Monroe Hanson on July 1st. These babies joined Jamie Lynn Spears’ baby daughter, Maddie Briann Alderidge, and Matthew McConaughey’s new son, Levi Alves.

About a week ago, some shots were released of a pregnant woman posing in the window of the Lenval Hospital in Nice, France. And, given the PR blast over the fact that Angelina and Brad are napping there, I mean, waiting patiently for the birth of their twins, the immediate assumption (from the whole world) was that the woman in the window was Angelina Jolie.

We were all wrong apparently, and some pregnant lady in France is probably tickled pink that her pictures have been scattered all over the globe. The hospital reports that no, those aren’t pictures of Angelina at all.

Why you ask? How can we know for sure? Forget not that we are dealing with a diva of epic proportions here, and as such, Angelina has gone to considerable lengths to ensure NO photos of her are taken in these last days before the birth.

Those lengths include having her hospital room windows tinted and coated with a unique insulating material that will prevent the penetration from nosy paparazzi cameras. And yes, that is ACTUALLY true. We won’t be seeing Angelina until after the birth, and I have to say, that’s just FINE with me.

Hospital administrators say it is been made physically impossible to see Angelina through a window and that any released pictures are fakes or posers.

So I guess that pregnant lady in France is the last one laughing now, huh? I’m still shaking my head over the whole thing. Ridiculous.

Yes, yes, Angelina Jolie is still pregnant, though just this past Sunday she checked into the maternity ward at the Lenval Hospital in Cannes, France. Angelina still pregnant is news? Sounds like this could go on for a while now, and as days pass I wonder, is this a publicity stunt in itself?

Seems like whenever things get quiet for Jolie something happens that make people talk. And well, in this case, nothing is happening, and we’re all talking about how nothing is happening. Ah well. Angelina has been in the maternity ward in Cannes, France since Sunday and all reports are that she is there to rest until the babies come.

No word on when that is going to happen though everyone around the Pitt-Jolie clan is assuring the rest of the world that there is nothing emergent happening at this point and that her June 29th hospitalization has been on the books for a while. Doctors can’t say when the twins will arrive, which in this country suggests a natural birth, however French medical confidentiality laws are strict, and they are simply not allowed to say one way or another.

In most cases twins would be born by C-Section given the bevy of complications that arise from a multiple birth. In the meantime, Angelina is living it up, occupying approximately four rooms on the maternity ward (for herself and her security detail), but only after she arrived at the hospital in the style to which she is accustomed. By helicopter. Naturally.

The paps aren’t allowed to do much right now, which is why we are getting but a glimpse of Angelina as she shows off her baby bump through a hospital window, leaving me to believe that yes, she is soaking up the PR boost as much as she can.

As far as the media is concerned however, I am quite sure that the deals are being inked as we speak as the major media channels fight for exclusive rights to first photos. Until then, the paparazzi are forbidden to go any further than a set position across the street from the hospital, and take shots such as this one. Since Tuesday, a sign has hung at the visitors desk with an unprecedented notice: ‘Journalists are forbidden to enter the premises’.

There you have it folks, a hospital stay Jolie style.

Angelina Jolie has checked into a hospital in the south of France, as she and partner Brad Pitt await the birth of twins. It is thought the babies have not yet arrived, but that Jolie will remain in the hospital until they are born. Her doctor is expected to give a news conference later today. The pair already have Maddox, Zahara, Pax, and Shiloh.

I am officially at the point of being tired of hearing how happy these folks are. But with their brood of Pittlets about to be expanded from four to six, and with her Cannes Film Festival duties well behind her, Angelina doesn’t seem to have much to do these days but dwell on how happy she is.

And tell us all about it. Again.

Angelina gave an interview after her Cannes festivities saying that her lifestyle, hectic as it is, is easier to juggle with motherhood rather than a regular career. She says she’s very lucky.

We KNOW.

She acknowledges that many mothers don’t have the kind of work where they only have to work a few months every year and knows her schedule is small compared to others.

Hollywood’s power couple have also just recently bought a $35 million dollar chateau in France complete with vineyard, lake, forest, and yes, even a moat. A blinking MOAT? Yes, what every family of eight needs.

But nonetheless, despite how hectic their lives are, they still make sure one of the two is always home with the kiddoes. And their nannies, because yes, they do have nannies, but they are quick to add that none of them spend the night. Poor things, how do they manage all of that with no overnight help? Must be their happiness that gets them through those tough times.

But doesn’t it look like she already has her hands full? You can’t see many pictures of Angelina these days without at least one bambino on her hips, in her arms, etcetera, but it’s rare to see her with the entire brood all at once. Here is Angelina and the gang in New Orleans the other day as they made their way to a convenience stand for some treats. And she almost actually looks like a normal, have my hands full, kind of mom here, doesn’t she?

Walking around New Orleans Angelina carried little Shiloh who is almost 2, and held hands with Zahara while the older kids lagged behind with their hands full of treats. But of course, nowadays you can’t seem to mention these folks’ names without talking about their charity work as well.

Angelina and Brad are in New Orleans right now to help a group of about 600 volunteers on a rejuvenation project to recover from the damages of Hurricane Katrina. While they work away, and work with the volunteers, Angelina and Brad are staying in their 1.7 million dollar French Quarter home, and Brad is helping the charity group Make It Right.

But Brad and Angelina are reportedly ‘ecstatic’ about babies boy and girl on the way. As if they would say anything else. She plans on delivering the children in France, and they are also looking to expand their real estate over there, as the couple have their eyes on a 10 million dollar property near the French Riviera. My, makes the French Quarter home sound like a shack, huh?
