The mayor is thrilled that Angelina and Brad have chosen his city for the babies birth so he’s given them honorary citizenship. “That is for the citizens of Nice a very great honor and a great satisfaction,” mayor Christian Estrosi said. “We are very happy for this choice of Mrs. Angelina Jolie and Mr. Brad Pitt and I want to say to them that I wish a lot of joy to them and the babies, and great success for all of their lives.” (We know Angelina isn’t exactly a Mrs. but we get the point.)

“All their lives they will be Nicois and all their life they will be able to come to Nice and we will receive them with great honor,” the mayor said. This is quite an honor for the unborn babies.

Being born in France doesn’t automatically give you citizenship. The twins will have the option of “obtaining French citizenship when they turn 18 as long as France has been their primary residence for at least 5 years after age 11.”

Star Magazine reports that Angie is becoming increasingly worried as the birth approaches. (What mother isn’t worried about her babies?) According to a nurse at Angie’s hospital,  Angelina is more worried about the smaller twin.

“[Twins] are never born with identical weights and sometimes one is considerably larger than the other,” Nurse Marie Lacroix told the Star.

If this woman is actually a nurse at the hospital won’t she be fired for violating patient confidentiality?  On the other hand, tabloid reporters often trick staff into revealing things.   And other times they just make it up.

Angie’s big brother James Haven joined Maddox for a visit with Angie today.  (The picture is actually in route.)  Anyone know what the LVTHN represents on Jame’s pullover?  Everyone is gathering.  Maybe these  babies are coming sooner rather than later.

Angelina got a visit from the girls yesterday and Maddox today. (Shiloh is so cute. She’s holding on to her dollies for dear life. While Maddox is rocking the blond again. He’s such a rocker.)

According to a French newspaper, Angie is on fifth floor of the hospital with an unobstructed view of the Bay of Angels. The paper also says that Angie has reserved four rooms on the maternity ward and has at least one bodyguard on the floor.

The Fondation Lenval ” is a 133-bed hospital in Nice, France, that specializes in the care of children and teens. Established in 1884, it has a history of treating children whose parents do not have the resources for medical care.” Angie’s probably paying about $200 a night for each room.

The girls road with dad to see mom while Maddox traveled with a bodyguard. The French publication also reports that Angie arrived by helicopter.

There are some pics floating around the internet that are supposedly of Angie showing her pregnant belly.  There appears to be a Brad-looking person standing next to her.  It really doesn’t look like her to me.  The hair is all wrong(doesn’t this woman have light hair?) and the guy doesn’t look as buff as Brad.  Also doesn’t she have tattoo on her pelvis?  Wouldn’t we see it peaking out? Where’s her C-Section scar.  I doubt she’d flash reporters after going through all the trouble to have her doc hold a press conference.  Seems weird to me but maybe Angie was having some fun with the paps.  What do you guys think?

We’ve got some videos from around the net of the Angelina baby watch frenzy. Everyone is consumed.

As most of you know by now, Angelina Jolie has checked into a Lenval Hospital in Nice. Her obstetrician, Dr. Michel Sussmann, actually held a press conference today to assure fans that everything is going well.

“[Angelina’s] hospitalization at this stage of her pregnancy is strictly normal for someone who underwent a caesarean in her first pregnancy.”

When asked about the twins due date, “This is something you can’t program, you never know for sure. I can’t give you a date. Let’s say the birth will happen in the weeks to come.”  The doc also added that he will close at hand  until the twins arrive.

Brad, Shi and Zee went and saw mom today.

Rumor has it that Brad has his own bed the hospital. Of course the room is under heavy heavy security.

After almost two weeks of technical difficulty, I was thrilled that my site was finally back on line last night.  (Too exhausted to post but thrilled none the less.) I was also worried.  Worried that I’d lost significant readership.

I would just like to say that I’ve got some of the best readers in cyberspace.  As soon AG Watch was back you guys were there checking in for new posts and giving me some amazing numbers for a site that’s been offline for such a long time.  Thank you for sticking by me.  I’ll be updating on Angie’s hospital stay soon.  Again, thank you for continuing to support this blog.

Psst.  Expect some fabulous prize give-aways in the next couple of weeks.

Grain of salt people. Take it all with a grain of salt. OK! magazine reports that Brad and Angie are set to adopt and African boy. According to the mag, the couple planned on adopting an African boy soon after they adopted Pax but plans changed when Angie found out she was pregnant with the twins.

“Angie and Brad have wanted an African boy for the last couple of years,” an “insider” told OK!. “They were initially going to have that adoption follow the addition of Pax last year, but that all changed when Angie got pregnant with twins last fall.”

I’m not sure what the article in it’s entirety(this story is only the web tease) but they’ve allegedly already started the process.

“Angelina was pretty far along in the process of adopting a beautiful baby that captured the couple’s heart when she and Brad got the surprise of their life and found out they were expecting,” the insider revealed.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Angelina Jolie has recorded a Public Service Announcement to bring awareness to Friday’s World Refugee Day.

“They have survived war, they have survived displacement, they have survived rape, they have survived hunger and disease,” Angelina says during the spot. “For those who have survived and for those who did not, we are thinking of you on this day.”

The dialouge is accompanied by photos of refugees around the world. An article penned by Angelina will appear in U.S. papers on Friday as part of the Word Refugee Day activities.

Other activities include a replica of a Darfur Village in London’s Trafalgar Square. Rome’s Colosseum will be lit with the refugee agency’s logo.

Angie’s really doing her bit for Wanted. This time our sinewy action star sat down with MTV to talk about why she’s took the physical role and her thoughts on a possible role in Sin City 2. If included some bits of the interview but you’ll need to click on clip to hear the entire thing.

MTV: You’ve done your share of action films. Why another one?

Jolie: I was itching to do something that was physical, because I had done some emotional films and I had been at home with the kids. I didn’t know that there was anything original out there [until] I came across this script. One, it has a great story. A lot of action movies are kind of lacking in that. It’s got a dark sense of humor and it’s wild, and the stunts — I knew that they were going to be done in an original way. I knew that the director [Timur Bekmambetov] would do this movie in a way that would make it different than any other action movie.

MTV: This is your first action flick since “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” I would think it’s a little different rolling around with James McAvoy than with Brad?

Jolie: Well, you know Brad was … [Laughs.] I’ll always prefer rolling around on the floor with him than any other man. You know, in general. [Laughs.]

MTV: You are passing the torch.

Jolie: Passing the torch to James.

MTV: Since you’re in your elder years, right? All the way in your early 30s.

Jolie: [Laughs.] Yeah, that’s right.

MTV: Do you imagine such physical roles will always be a part of your career?

Jolie: I think there’s always going to be a side of me … you know, as long as I can. Harrison [Ford] is doing it, and he’s doing it well. It looks like I’ve got some more time.

She also added that she’s curios that her name was being bandied about for Sin City 2 but wasn’t sure it would be as original at the first. I think she’d be outstanding the production but if it doesn’t float her boat I understand her wanting to pass Only time will tell.

James McAvoy was so busy remembering his Wanted lines that he doesn’t completely remember kissing Angelina.

And when he did get a chance to plant a big juicy kiss on Jolie’s famous lips, he “was way too focused on remembering my lines” to remember any details, he said — though he does vaguely recall having to kiss her more than once to get the take right.

He also wasn’t thrilled that Angelina kicked his butt for much of the movie. “It was kind of emasculating and completely humiliating to be beat up by a girl the entire time,” he said. “It was the most humiliating experience of my professional life.” Poor thing. He can’t remember kissing one of the most beautiful in the world and she beat him up the rest of the time.

James had to bulk up for the role by eating “endless amounts of chicken, eggs and protein shakes”. In the move we see McAvoy’s character turn from office nerd to hunky assassin. Remember Wanted premiers in the States on on June 27th. I’ll be the first in line. How about you? I wonder if I can buy tickets this far in advance.

Rumor has it that Angelina is in talks with Coty to create her own perfume. Coty’s current line of celeb clients include Jennifer Lopez and Sara Jessica Parker.

According to a “source”, Angelina wants to be more than just a name that they slap on a bottle. “Angelina wants a very strong input. She wouldn’t want a fragrance that she didn’t feel encapsulates her.”

I can’t find the exact origin of this story. According to most reports, it came from Sunday article in the Daily Mail that has yet to appear on their website. Whatever the case, I hope it’s true Yes I am one of those people that will buy it no matter what it smells like. What can I say? I’m a fan girl.

Oh this is loads of fun. We’ve got a over 7 minutes of Wanted. We’ve seen bits of this scene before but it’s super exciting to see it all pieced together. Thanks to Randi for picking this one up.

We’ve got actual clips from Wanted starring our Angie. I really like the car sequence in the first one. It’s also interesting to see how all the movie magic works.

Angelina Jolie is more powerful than Brad Pitt….at least according to Forbes Magazine. Angie hit the #3 spot in the mag’s annual Celebrity 1oo survey. Brad had to settle for the #10 place. (I’m sure he’s terribly sad about it.) The results are based on earnings, Google hits and media presence.

Angie made approximately $14 million in the last 12 months while Brad raked in $20 million. Angie took the #1 slot in web hits while Brad was #4 in web hits. Check out the rest of the top ten.

St. John has decided ended their contract with Angelina Jolie. “It was a great run we had with Mario Testino, David Lipman and, of course, Angelina Jolie,” chief executive officer Glenn McMahon said. “Three years is a long time to maintain any campaign, and we felt it was time to do something new and different. [The campaign] ties in nicely to our whole rebranding initiative.”

The brand is is unveiling a new $400 million color campaign with four new models. It features four New York City vignettes shot in locations Times Square and Central Park. The ads will launch in the August issue of Vanity Fair

I loved seeing Angie in the ads but I certainly understand the need for keeping things fresh. You can click HERE for Angelina’s last St. John’s Campaign.
