Jolie room has anti-paparazzi paint

The hospital where Angelina Jolie will give birth says the windows of her room have been coated with a special material that prevents paparazzi from taking pictures of her and Brad Pitt.

The Lenval hospital in Nice in southern France says photos which purport to show Jolie and Pitt in their room have appeared in magazines and on the internet.

The hospital says the photos are fakes, that they have been manipulated or show other patients at the hospital.

The hospital's statement said that it is in fact "totally impossible" to see inside the couple's room from the outside, because the windows have been covered with an insulating material that lenses cannot see through.

Jolie is expecting twins. She has been resting and been monitored by doctors in the hospital ahead of the birth.
