It was their second visit in two days

Body

Shiloh, 2, and Zahara, 3, visited their pregnant mother Angelina Jolie at the Lenval Hospital in Nice, France, on Thursday.

Their visit comes after Jolie's obstetrician, Dr. Michel Sussmann, held a press conference Wednesday telling reporters the twins were due "in the weeks to come."

"Everything is normal," Sussmann said. "Everything is going well."

( Photos — supposedly of Jolie, 33, showing off her belly and waving to photographers — also surfaced Wednesday, but it remains unclear if it is actually the actress in the pictures.)

Shiloh and Zahara also visited their mom Wednesday, along with pop Brad Pitt.

According to local newspaper Nice Matin, Jolie is staying on the hospital's fifth floor which features an "unobstructed view" over the Bay of Angels. (She reserved four rooms on the maternity ward, with a bodyguard keeping watch, the report claims.)

The paper reports that Jolie arrived, via helicopter, Sunday afternoon on the hospital's roof.

Usmagazine.com confirmed on Tuesday that Jolie was at the hospital.

"Yes, Jolie is here, and she is absolutely fine," the rep says. "There is no need for people to worry."

Jolie is in no rush to give birth.

She recently said 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 and beau Liev Schreiber will welcome a sib for son Alexander, 1

Body

Naomi Watts’ family is about to get another addition!

The actress, 39, has entered her second trimester with her second baby, Us Weekly reports in its newest issue, on newsstands now.

But don't expect a huge announcement: When she was pregnant last year with her first child, her beau, Liev Schreiber, 40, didn’t confirm it until he casually told Conan O’Brien, “Yes, I’m going to be a dad.”

The couple — who met on the set of the 2006 drama The Painted Veil and have homes in NYC and L.A. — welcomed son Alexander in July 2007.

Of course, should Watts feel like talking about the pregnancy, she’ll have a sympathetic ear.

Her best friend, fellow Aussie Nicole Kidman, 41, is expecting early this summer. (See how Nicole's style has changed through the years.)

Watts’ rep tells Us she doesn’t comment on her client’s personal life.

Body

Ashlee Simpson showed off a growing baby bump in a midriff-baring top over the weekend in Los Angeles.

"She sent me a picture of her belly," sister Jessica recently said on The View. "She's popping, it's so cute!"

See Us' Baby Bump Hall of Fame.

Simpson, 23, and husband Pete Wentz — who recently revealed that he's made out with guys — confirmed their pregnancy in May shortly after they tied the knot in Beverly Hills.

"This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family," they said.

Wentz recently said he was "excited" to be a dad.

"The first time I ever went to the doctor's office and heard the heartbeat, I felt totally content and at peace with everything," he told E!.

Their pal, Lucy Walsh (daughter of Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh), told Usmagazine.com in April that they're "a cute couple, and they are going to have cute, tiny kids."

The newlyweds have already added a new family member: a 10-week-old puppy named Rigby, Wentz, 29, announced on their Web site.

Pregnant Nicole Kidman: "I Started Crying" When I Saw My Ultrasound

"I didn’t think I’d get to experience that in my lifetime," she tells Vogue

Body

Nicole Kidman is opening up in July's Vogue about expecting her first child with husband Keith Urban.

After suffering two miscarriages with ex Tom Cruise, the 40-year-old actress (who is due in July) said she cried when she saw the ultrasound.

"I didn't think I'd get to experience that in my lifetime," she admits. "I like the unpredictable nature of it. To feel life growing with you is something very, very special, and I'm going to embrace that completely."

See photos of other stars who are 40.

See photos of celebrity baby bumps.

Kidman — who has two adopted children, Connor, 13, and Isabella, 15, from her marriage to Cruise — also sounded off on:

Being happy and pregnant:
"My sister has had four kids, and she says that when you're pregnant you draw people to you who are genuinely happy. She's right. It taps into that thing in human nature that is universal and collective and beautiful."

Life in Tennessee:
"I've been in Tennessee, just sitting. We have a farm there, and I have an organic vegetable garden. This is a path I'd not taken before. My mum's always gardened. My sister gardens. And I've now conformed to the Kidman women's hobby of gardening. And it is just a hobby. I'm not feeding the troops. There's a softness to the Tennessee landscape that I just love. It's very beautiful out there. We have deer and wild turkeys."

Keith Urban's battle with addiction:
"I'm so committed to this relationship, and so is he. I don't have addiction problems, but love is a very powerful force in my life. It's my fatal flaw and my virtue."

New appreciation of life:
"You can fight life. You can wriggle and squirm and say, 'This isn't right.' But I'm glad I've learned to let things flow. I'm now so much more capable of receiving love and giving it in a far different way. So to be given the blessing of a child at this stage of my life, you just say, 'Wow, this was meant to be.' "

Mark Wahlberg: My Daughter's "Disappointed" We're Having a Boy

"She had all these plans of dressing a little sister up," he tells Us

Body

Mark Wahlberg and longtime love Rhea Durham are thrilled they're expecting a boy.

Their 4-year-old daughter Ella?

Not so much.

"My daughter was extremely disappointed when she found out that we were having a boy — she wanted a little sister," he told Usmagazine.com at the NYC premiere of The Happening Tuesday.

"She already had all these plans of dressing a little sister up in clothes," he said. "But I told her, 'Honey, that means you’ll be more spoiled than the boys.' She goes, 'Oh, daddy, I didn’t think of that!'"

He said he is already prepping for the new one (they also have a son, Michael, 2).

"I’m moving the office out of the house [to] prepare his room," Wahlberg told Us.

(See photos of shirtless dads.)

He added that he is now trying to do more family friendly films, including his latest, M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening (out Friday).

"This is a movie that my nieces and nephews can watch," he said. "I’ve done things that I’m not proud of, and that I’m going to have to explain," he added.

Such as?

"Running around in my underwear," he said.

Co-star Zooey Deschanel said Wahlberg will make a "great" father-of-three.

"He’s wonderful with children, and he loves his children so much," she told Us. "He talks about them all the time."

Actress Tori Spelling Gives Birth to a Girl

The actress had a C-section in L.A.

Body

Tori Spelling gave birth to her second child, Stella Doreen McDermott, via a planned C-section delivery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. Monday afternoon.

The actress, 35, has a 1-year-old son, Liam, with husband Dean McDermott. She's the couple's first daughter.

Stella was born at 3:13 pm EST, weighing 6 lbs 8 ounces.

Spelling – who is signed on to reprise her role as Donna Martin on the new 90210 spin-off in the fall – has frequently gushed about the joys of pregnancy.

"I'm eating whatever my body tells me it needs and wants," she said in March. "I love my growing belly and the curves I'm taking on."

What was her big pregnancy craving?

"Rocky Road ice cream and avocado – I figure that is good for the baby," the actress said.

(See her bump in a bikini here.)

"During my first pregnancy with Liam, I spent a lot of time worried about my weight and how big I was getting and how I would lose it afterwards," Spelling said in April. "But once I wasn't pregnant anymore, I missed it. I loved being pregnant."

The actress dropped her baby weight after Liam by using the NutriSystem Nourish program.

Spelling and McDermott, 41, married in May 2006. Their antics are documented on Oxygen's Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood.

Gwyneth Paltrow: "I May Force Myself" to Get Pregnant Again

Mandi Illuzzi — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:16:58 -0400

Celebrity News Dek

"The result is so worth it," the Iron Man star says

Body

Like Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't mind being pregnant.

"I may force myself to do it one more time because the result is so worth it," she reveals in July's Harper's Bazaar. "And also my [late] dad said to me that his only regret in life was that he had only two children and he didn't have more."

She says she is also "open" to adopting.

"I do feel we’re so fortunate, and we kind of owe it to humanity," says the 35-year-old actress, who works out three hours a day. "We have a lot of love to give and a lot of resources.”

The Iron Man star also dished on:

Dealing with morning sickness:
“My mother loved each [pregnancy] to bits; she felt alive and beautiful. I wanted to throw up all the time.”

Getting her post-baby bod back:
“I don’t want to look like a mother who doesn’t care. For myself, for my work, and for my relationship, I want to look good.”

Cutting her Rapunzel-like hair this spring:
“I was very, very attached to my hair. I grew it when I was pregnant. I still had hair from when my father was alive. I made it like a talisman. And then I was ready to let go of it, and so I chopped it off and ... aaah!"

Keeping her marriage to Coldplay's Chris Martin sexy with two kids:
“I think you have to make an effort to compartmentalize a little bit. When your children are asleep, you have to open another world ... children and being a parent can really drain that side of you. I would like to say ‘Go away for the weekend.’ But, of course, I’ve done that like one time on my birthday. But it’s important to carve out some time; otherwise, you don’t have an inner life. You just give all day, and then you pass out at night.”

Supporting Barack Obama:
“I don’t feel there’s any lip service with [Obama]. I don’t feel like he’s one of those jaded politicos who say one thing and are talking out of both sides of their mouth. I also feel we’ve done such damage to our reputation – and as someone who lives outside America for half the year, I overhear things that I wish I didn’t overhear. A lot of people in the West think that we’re not very sensitive to the rest of the world, and I think that having a president called Barack Hussein Obama in 2008 says that we are part of the world, and we don’t want to make unilateral decisions about the fate of all of us. I just pray to God that he wins.”

Being BFFs with Madonna:
“She’s so physically beautiful and fit, it’s just crazy. I think part of the reason she looks so good is that she’s always striving for more knowledge. She’s a very interested woman.”

Feeling vulnerable about returning to movie-making after a four-year hiatus:
“In this business, they don’t look back, and they’re particularly harsh to women. I’m not 25; I’m 35. I’m not someone to discover; I’m someone who people know. I mean, it’s all ego, but you start to feel like, 'Oh, no, I worked so hard to get somewhere, and what if I can’t get back there again?' But, all the while knowing that, I would never have traded one second or done anything differently.”

Pregnant Angelina Jolie in French Hospital

A rep for the Lenval Hospital in Nice tells Us: "She is absolutely fine. There is no need for people to worry"

Body

Angelina Jolie has checked into a hospital in southern France as she prepares to give birth to twins, a hospital rep confirms to Usmagazine.com.

"Yes, Jolie is here, and she is absolutely fine," the rep says. "There is no need for people to worry."

The Associated Press first reported the news.

Hospital spokesperson Nadine Bauer told the AP that Jolie, 33, had to planned to check into the hospital's maternity wing for some time. She said Jolie was admitted so she could be kept under surveillance and not to give birth immediately.

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

See 15 photos of Jolie's bump.

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.

See photos of Jolie and her kids.

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."
