Angelina Jolie in French Hospital

The Associated Press is reporting that Angelina Jolie has checked into a hospital in southern France as she prepares to give birth to twins.

Nadine Bauer, a spokeswoman for the Lenval Hospital in Nice, reportedly tells the AP that the actress, 33, is fine and that everything is going well.

Bauer says that Jolie had to planned to check into the hospital's maternity wing for some time. She says Jolie was admitted so she could be kept under surveillance and not to give birth immediately.

Bauer tells the AP that Jolie will almost certainly remain in the hospital until she gives birth.

It had been falsely reported in late May that Jolie had given birth to twins.

Jolie confirmed she was expecting twins during an interview for her movie Kung Fu Panda with co-star Jack Black, who accidentally let the news slip in Cannes on May 15.

She said that she and beau Brad Pitt were "thinking of France" as a place to give birth.

"I actually haven't completely decided," she said at a press conference for Kung Fu Panda in Cannes on May 15. "We are certainly thinking of France.

Jolie recently told Vanity Fair she and Pitt "weren't expecting twins! So it did shock us, and we jumped to six quickly. But we like a challenge.

"His mom and dad are on standby to come out and help. And fortunately we can hire help if we need it, but we're going to try as we usually do to balance it as well as we can," she said.

Jolie added the being pregnant has been "great for the sex life.

"It just makes you a lot more creative," she said. "So you have fun, and as a woman you're just so round and full."

She praised Pitt for being an "extremely hands-on dad with all the kids."

She told USA Today, "Any woman knows that when you're pregnant, if you have a partner who is embracing it with you and excited with you, it makes all the difference. I'm very lucky to have him."
