Angelina Jolie Flies Ailing Mother to Paris

Pregnant actress Angelina Jolie has flown her mother Marcheline Bertrand from America to Paris so the French actress can watch the birth of her first grandchild. Jolie and boyfriend Brad Pitt are expecting their first biological child together this spring, a brother or sister for their adopted children Maddox and Zahara Marley. Bertrand has been staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel in recent months while she receives treatment for uterine cancer. A friend tells British newspaper The Sun, "Angelina is very close to her mother and she wanted her to be there for the birth. "Angelina has been having regular check-ups at a hospital in Paris and it is expected that she will give birth within the next few weeks."
