Brangelina’s "Two Little Nicois" in the Oven
Forget buns! Looks like Angelina’s cooking up a couple Niçois in her oven.
In case there was any doubt about the French’s affection for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s unborn twins, the mayor of Nice proclaimed them honorary citizens of his city on Friday.
“All their lives they will be Niçois and all their life they will be able to come to Nice and we will receive them with great honor,” mayor Christian Estrosi said.
Jolie checked into Nice’s Lenval hospital on Monday, where it’s expected she’ll give birth to the much anticipated new additions “within the coming weeks,” according to her doctor.
“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,” the mayor said.
Pitt and the couple’s four childrenMaddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; Shiloh, 2are living in a massive chateau 60 miles away and have been seen making visits to the hospital.
Salma Hayek: ’I Was Born to Have This Girl’
In a new interview, Salma Hayek confesses she suffered from diabetes during her pregnancy and that she was hoping for a son – but now she’s loving being a mom to her five-month-old daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault.
“I feel I was born to have this girl,” she tells the April issue of Glamour magazine.
Pregnancy for the 41-year-old, first-time mom was a humbling experience. “I had diabetes while I was pregnant. I became huge. And I said, ’This is what it takes for me to have this baby, and I really want it.’ Then you don’t know if it’s going to be healthy; you are completely out of control,” she says. “So the experience really makes you humble.”
Hayek’s businessman fiancé, François Henri Pinault, 45, has two children from a previous marriage, and the actress confesses, “I wanted a boy.”
How come? “Probably because I was afraid,” she tells the magazine. “I think women suffer a bit more than boys, and there is always conflict between mothers and daughters.”
“Now that she’s here, I’m so happy she’s a girl,” Hayek says of Valentina. “And I can’t imagine there ever being conflict between us, because I’m in a state of innocence where I love everything she does.”
She concludes: “I just feel so fortunate to be her mother, and it makes me excited about the rest of my life, because I will get to witness her transformation every day.”
