Communiqué de presse concernant Mme Angelina JOLIE
Dans le cadre de la surveillance normale de sa grossesse, comme prévu de longue date, Madame Angelina JOLIE a été admise dans les locaux de la Fondation LENVAL, Maternité SANTA MARIA. Son gynécologue obstétricien, le Docteur Michel SUSSMANN, seul habilité à le faire, donnera toute information médicale, en temps voulu. Il s agit donc d une grossesse gémellaire et son hospitalisation à ce stade de la grossesse, est une procédure normale chez une patiente ayant déjà bénéficié d une césarienne lors de la première grossesse. Elle nécessite une simple surveillance pour s assurer du bien-être de ses bébés dans les semaines à venir. La clinique SANTA MARIA au sein de la fondation LENVAL présente toutes les commodités permettant les visites de sa famille. Madame Angelina JOLIE m a chargé de vous préciser qu elle se porte parfaitement bien. Contact presse : Mme BAUER Nadine le 02.07.08
No new updates are on the hospital website, but there are RAMPANT rumors around the Internets that she has already had the babies, a boy (Knox Leon) and a girl (Vivienne Marcheline). This may be complete speculation, but the fact that Angelina’s recently deceased mother was named Marcheline lends some credence. Apparently, the locals in the rural French area where her hospital is located have made a game out of trying to get their fabricated “Angelina rumors” published, with bragging rights going to those that are successful in getting the most outlandish ones out there….
