ETA: my daughter was almost 26 hours which is why I'm in no hurry for this kid to come out. I love all the labor and deliver horror stories.

Well here's wishes that this little bundle joins the world quickly, with little pain and with much health! And that he/she sleeps through the night right away...

Bella ,my sweet,still pregnant???

[Bellatheball]

Yep, still pregnant. It's ok though. I know what's waiting for me with labor/delivery and sleep deprivation. I don't mind having a few more days to get geared up for it. I'm going to be seriously pi$sed though if my kid shares a birthday with Angelina's.

we won't go there.. lets leave it with Tinkerbell floating around the room and all things happy b/c they shouldn't have let me go home when they did and they should have taken her earlier, at least a few weeks earlier.---- I hate delivery room horror stories, each birth is different and if it was so bad no one would have a second child.

Having a baby is the best!!!!

Love them while they are little and helpless because once they start talking it's all down hill..... LMAO

Don't expect to catch any glimpses of Angelina Jolie in her hospital room.

The hospital in Nice, France, where Jolie, 33, is staying as she awaits the birth of her twins has coated the windows of her room with special insulating material that cameras cannot see through, the Associated Press reports. The news comes after several photographs – allegedly of Jolie and Brad Pitt – have surfaced.

"It is impossible to see into Mr. Brad Pitt and Mrs. Angelina Jolie's room," a rep for the Fondation Lenval hospital said in a statement. "So any pictures released are either posed fakes set up by paparazzi, or, they are pictures of other patients. We hope this is clearly understood out of respect for all patients in this clinic."

Jolie is undergoing observation and is expected to give birth anytime "in the next weeks," her obstetrician told reporters on July 2.

Carnival of the Absurd & The biggest deal since Baby Jesus!

Give Jolie some credit. It's not all about childish attention seeking. She's got to crank up the public interest as much as possible, in order to land top dollar for the baby pix! Besides, she's got Madonna's divorce and A Rod adultery to compete with!

The average gestation period for twins is 35 weeks and if she was due in August it would make sense that she had them now.

She's keeping her legs crossed to build the suspense!

Well she IS more important than natural disasters, war, or the economy. Combined.

and more destructive!

"Maybe the press conference wasn't her idea...."

Of course it was her idea. Whose idea would it be?

Jolie doesn't permit any member of her entourage to have their own ideas, ever. She has ideas enough for everybody, and always knows best!

I guess no one is allowed into this thread unless we hate Angelina and call her a homewrecking whore.

I don't hate her, but she's way over exposed. The woman is getting more tiresome than 'the lovely Eva Longoria'.

think Oil and Hot Sun

George Bush???

Her last two films have been duds. I don't see much of a career for her other than action and B-type films.

She's switching places with Milla Jovovich!

She's become more celebrity than actress.

An excellent observation.

Everything about Angelina does seem to be so put upon.

The real reason that people turned on her.

"I donate 1/3 of my salary to charity"

Heather Mills claimed that she gave 80-90% of her income. Of course that was proven untrue during her divorce.

Last year, it was proven that her and Pitt gave a combined total of 2 million to charity.

And if they donated that to a foundation that they themselves set up, then it's basically a tax shelter/ write off. The money may never see the needy.

Most, if not all, celebs are fame hungry and do the exact same thing that Brad and Angie do.

They are very sick people - Celebrity Personality Disorder.

She made Kung Fu Panda and Wanted and neither are bad, both have paid for themselves.

Wanted opened No 2 in the box office, and is still going neck and neck with Get Smart. Even with the fuss about her upcoming childbirth (maybe the kids were born weeks ago, and they sat on the news for the Wanted opening? )Jolie's finished. Hollywood likes home runs, and she needed a No 1 opening to justify her superstar A List status.

celebs are master manipulators of the media

The media is changing. The Internet and boards like this are messing their game. When Michael Richards had his Comedy Club meltdown, it was caught on cell phone, and posted to youtube immediately. The situation was beyond 'damage control'. About 6 months earlier, Richards had made anti semitic remarks in another stand up routine. Since no one caught it, it was easy to cover up. Communication and information technology have an erosive effect on 'manufactured images'.

Jolie looks like a hypocrite when she partakes in and profits from these violent movies and then goes around condemning violence.

That armed posse of ex SAS members, that compriose her security team, make her look like even more of a hypocrite.

See! Proof she's not a saint - she don't have powers of miraculous regeneration.... is that a cutting scar? or something medical?

Looks medical. I believe I can see suture marks.

"I hate Angelina because she has brown hair."

they all do.. think Jens hair is really blonde?

She's half Greek and her dad is really dark complexioned. BTW interesting trivia on JennAn, as an aspiring actress going out on auditions she'd stuff her bra with boneless chicken breast - for a natural look!

is it just me or does this feel like this pregnancy is much,much longer than 9 mths.

I believe that she was due in early-mid June. Stuck in my mind because it would make the twins Geminis, like Jolie.

Good luck with that Bella!

Nice translation skills for someone... Madame can be age related as well as marital status... I got the shock of my life the first time I got called Madame in France!

Agent Orange (or can I just call you Agent? ) I LOVE you!

But wtf is that all about? Mid-june??? Late or delivered & in hospital? Or jsut not certain of her dates?

[Sweetie]

I hate Angelina today because her windows are insulated.

[Mel1973]

you can get tinfoil treatment too??

[Sweetie]

pbbbssstttt....I don't want tinfoil, I want the high dollar stuff she has.

[Mel1973]

black spray paint?

[AgentOrange]

What's really interesting is the number of these movie stars who are having twins: Jolie, Julia Roberts, Holly Hunter, JLo. Methinks there was a trip to the fertility specialist - so babies could be scheduled in two at a time.
