PARIS - The hospital where Angelina Jolie will give birth says it has covered the windows of her room with a special material to prevent paparazzi from taking pictures of the actress and her partner, Brad Pitt.
The Lenval hospital in Nice in southern France said Wednesday that photos that claim to show Jolie and Pitt in her room are fakes that have been manipulated or show other patients.
In a statement, the hospital said it is “totally impossible” to see inside the room from the outside due to a material on the windows that camera lenses cannot see through.
The statement wasn’t specific but hospital spokeswoman Nadine Bauer said she believed the material was a type of film. She said it was put on especially for Jolie.
“So any pictures released are either posed fakes set up by paparazzi or they are pictures of other patients,” the hospital said. “We hope this is clearly understood out of respect for all patients in this clinic.”

At a brief news conference last week, Jolie’s obstetrician said the 33-year-old actress was doing fine. Her stay could be a relatively long one. The doctor, Michel Sussmann, said Jolie would remain in the hospital until the babies are delivered and that could be “in the weeks to come.”
