ANGELINA JOLIE - ANGELINA JOLIE'S TWINS 'MAY TAKE FEW MORE WEEKS'

Angelina Jolie's new babies may not arrive for a few weeks, according to the actress' doctor.

The Tomb Raider star was admitted to the Lenval hospital in Nice, France, earlier this week and is likely to remain there until the birth of her twins.

And speaking at a news conference, her obstetrician, Dr Michael Sussman, said the 33-year-old was being monitored at the hospital, with the birth likely to happen later this month.

When asked for more details, he replied: "I can't give you a date. Let's say the birth will happen in the weeks to come.

"Mrs Angelina Jolie and her husband, Mr Brad Pitt, told me to tell you that she is doing absolutely fine," he added, though the pair are not in fact married.

"Her hospitalisation at this stage in her pregnancy is totally normal for a patient who had a Caesarean during her first pregnancy," he explained.

Jolie and partner Brad Pitt are already parents to four children together: adopted children Maddox, six, four-year-old Pax Thien and Zahara, three, as well as biological daughter Shiloh, 20 months.

And she confirmed she had twins on the way when her Kung Fu Panda co-star Jack Black let slip in May that Jolie and Pitt would be adding two more children to their brood.

According to British magazine Now, the couple have already chosen the names for their two children, with Isla Marcheline and Amelie Jane allegedly to be the new additions to the Jolie-Pitt family.
