Births could take a while

NICE, France — Angelina Jolie’s doctor at a French Riviera hospital says her twins may take a few more weeks to arrive.

Doctor Michel Sussmann says the 33-year-old actress is doing fine. He spoke at a brief news conference Wednesday in Nice, where Jolie is hospitalized.

Asked when Jolie is expected to have her twins, he replied, “In the weeks to come.” Sussmann says Jolie checked into the hospital to be kept under surveillance, not because of any medical emergency.

Tatum O’Neal pleads guilty

NEW YORK — Tatum O’Neal has pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in connection with her June cocaine possession arrest in lower Manhattan. Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Elisa Koenderman has ordered the 44-year-old actress to spend two half-day sessions in a drug treatment program and pay a $95 surcharge.

If O’Neal has met those conditions when she returns to court on Sept. 4, the case will be dismissed.
