Brangelina's Babies
Angie and Brad celebrate the birth of twins in France
"She is very well," said obstetrician Michel Sussmann, "she is OK."
OK, reports CBS News correspondent Richard Roth, but no light has been shed on just when the twins she's expecting are due, or whether they're girls - as reported, or a boy and a girl - as also reported.
"She's a patient like any other," her doctor said, inferring confidentiality.
Except, says Roth, that she came here by helicopter, her regular visitor is partner Brad Pitt, and photos of their babies, when they arrive, could be the most valuable infant celebrity shots ever - according to public relations experts.
"Figures that are being bandied about go from 5 to 10 million pounds," consultant Max Clifford tells CBS News. In dollars, that's $10 to $20 million.
With peak tourist season just underway on the French Riviera - and all the celebrity power and fortune potential that comes with it - the Brangelina Babywatch will fit right in.
Though the lenses of the world's paparazzi have been trained on maternity wards across the French Riviera in recent weeks, Jolie managed to slip unobserved Sunday into the seafront Lenval hospital.
Pitt has been seen coming and going since Jolie's hospitalization became public. On Wednesday afternoon, he entered a side door with the couple's two daughters in tow, 3-year-old Zahara and 2-year-old Shiloh.
Attention focused on southern France after the couple and their four children - including 6-year-old Maddox and 4-year-old Pax - took up residence in Correns, about 60 miles from Nice. The town's mayor confirmed that the couple had moved into the Miraval Estate villa, and a helicopter has been spotted taking off and landing there.
Set among palm trees, the boxy white Lenval hospital with mirrored blue windows looks out over the sea. During her stay, Jolie can enjoy views of the city's famed Promenade Anglais, sunbathers reclining on the rocky shores and swimmers dipping into the Mediterranean.
Sussmann said four rooms had been reserved for the couple and a pair of security guards - debunking rumors that they had taken over the entire fifth floor.Photos: Brangelina's Babies
"I find it legitimate that she wants to protect her privacy. She is a pregnant woman," he said.
The hospital is doing the utmost to protect the privacy of the couple - who for the birth of their first child went to the African
country of Namibia to evade attention.
The media briefing to a gaggle of journalists jostling for position was held across the street from the hospital. And as of Tuesday, a sign hangs on the visitor's desk inside the lobby: "Journalists are forbidden to enter the premises, except with the authorization of the administration."
The hospital's Santa Maria maternity clinic delivers 2,300 babies a year.

When they are in public or with the "own kind", they totally change.
Brad and Angelina are very nice people but they are clueless about what it means to be normal in our society. These kids are nothing more than a way to show how generous and caring they are, something that should be done anonamously...(excuse the spelling error)
GET A LIFE!
Brad is so much more now in real life than playing "go-looking dude" for lady audiences.
I love Angelina Jolie and I love her life and couldn''t have enough of her style. She is a would-be little sister that I never had!!!
I would pair up with George Clooney and double-date the Brangelina anyday. Seems that George is really having trouble finding that "special lady" with the sparks as bright as Jolie.
All Democrats love international issues as well as domestic issues. I am especially glad to hear of Barack Obama being related to Brad Pitt, they are maternal cousins!!!
Go Angie...make us all Internals proud.
This article was a very poor and tasteless choice by your editors - perhaps hiring some talent may help.
Any resemblance of the twins to
myself is purely coincidental.
And NO I will not give permission for
a DNA test.
Anyway, Angeline, if you are reading this
PLEEEZE stop calling me.
You and I are soooo over.
