Brad tells co-stars Angie is close
With reports coming in as early as last Thursday that the Jolie was in labor - this time it's straight from the horses mouth.

Pitt was supposed to be in Cannes but has had to stay behind to wait for the birth. People Magazine is reporting that he sent an apology via e-mail.
Pitt sent his regrets for failing to make it to the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday – though he had a good reason: "imminent" fatherhood.
The star was due to join costars Cate Blanchett and Gael Garcia Bernal for Tuesday morning's screening of their movie Babel, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu.
Instead, Pitt sent an e-mail that was read aloud at a press conference after the screening:
"With the imminent arrival of the newest addition to our family, I am unable to join Alejandro, Cate, Gael and the rest of the cast and crew introducing the film."

Define "imminent" one would ask - not a chance with this couple.
