The Brangelina Beauty Empire is poised to receive another two additions to its ranks, as Angelina Jolie has checked into a hospital in France in anticipation of giving birth to a set of twins. No word as of yet on what said celebribabies will be named.

Angelina Jolie has checked into a hospital in the south of France where she is expected to give birth to her twins, a hospital spokesman said Tuesday.

Nadine Bauer, press attache for the Lenval Hospital in Nice, said Jolie is fine and that everything is going well. She said Jolie's admittance to the maternity wing had been planned for some time.

Bauer said the 33-year-old actress will almost certainly remain in the hospital until she gives birth. She said Jolie was admitted so she could be kept under normal surveillance — and is not expected to give birth immediately.

Bauer said Jolie was admitted recently but wouldn't say exactly when.

"There's no urgency. It's been planned for a long time," she said. "She's very well. Everything is fine."

Jolie has said the babies are due in August. She and partner Brad Pitt have four children: Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, 2.
