Family: A spokesman for Angelina Jolie on Tuesday 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. "Ms. Jolie came to the hospital last night as part of a pre-planned rest period, before she gives birth," Nadine Bauer, spokeswoman for the hospital. "The visit has been planned for a long time, there are no complications. She is just resting," Bauer added. Read more. Thanks La_miga.

Dr. Michel Sussmann spoke at a brief news conference Wednesday in Nice, where Jolie is hospitalized. Asked when the 33-year-old actress is expected to have her twins, he replied: "I can't give you a date. Let's say the birth will happen in the weeks to come." Sussmann stressed that Jolie checked into the hospital to be kept under observation, not because of any medical emergency. "Mrs. Angelina Jolie and her husband, Mr. Brad Pitt, told me to tell you that she is doing absolutely fine," said the doctor, apparently unaware that the actors aren't married. Read more.

Quotes: From an interview with Richard Jenkins (Burn After Reading): Q. What was it like working with the Coens for a third time? Richard Jenkins: Fantastic. And I’m also with George Clooney again… a great guy. Brad Pitt too, who is the nicest, funniest guy. These guys are great. They’re exactly as they seem… not a pompous bone in their body. It’s very dark but really funny as well. John Malkovich is in it as well and he’s great. Source.

Family: A hospital spokeswoman says Angelina Jolie has checked into a hospital in the south of France where she's expected to give birth to her twins. Hospital spokeswoman Nadine Bauer says Jolie is fine and that everything is going well. She says the actress' admittance to the hospital's maternity wing had been planned for some time. Bauer said Tuesday that Jolie will almost certainly remain in the hospital until she gives birth. She says Jolie was admitted so she could be kept under surveillance — and is not expected to give birth immediately. Bauer would not say when Jolie was admitted. Source. Thanks La_miga.

Plan B: World War Z: The adaptation of "World War Z" is in and done. Everyone is very happy with it, and now they are figuring out the best marketing campaign for it, since it is a political/thriller/zombie movie, which is not something you tend to see a lot of.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: It's a tantalizing hook for a film, isn't it? What if your hero was born an old man, only to grow younger every day, from wrinkles to wrinkles, so to speak -- don't they say that all little babies look like Winston Churchill? That's the premise behind David Fincher's upcoming "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," which stars Brad Pitt going from geezer-hood to infancy, and falling in love with Cate Blanchett along the way. The film is due in December and has already been touted for Oscarhood. Read more.

Family: A representative for Hollywood power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie denies the rumor that the pair has sold their French Quarter mansion. "This rumor going around that they've sold or are selling their house in New Orleans is not true," said Trevor Neilson of the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. "It's just made up, as are a lot of things that are said about them." The city conveyance office also did not have any record that the couple had sold their New Orleans home, which they bought in January 2007 under the name Mondo Bongo Trust. Source.

Press: Added a great rare interview by The Sunday Times, thanks to SoulPower! Brad Pitt is muscled, buffed and honed like a middleweight boxer in peak condition, or, he hopes, a Greek god. His toothpaste-white T-shirt is, frankly, too small for his bulging biceps. This peak physique will, however, be lost on the audience of his latest screen venture, providing the voice for Sinbad in an animated feature. Though he is heard but not seen, the makers claim they have captured the "essential Brad", even if it is a cartoon version. "They say they used some of my physical characteristics to create Sinbad, but I can't really see it," he says. "I mean, you never see me swing from a rope. And I'm not really conscious of my own little quirks." Read more.
