Angelina Jolie is indeed expecting twins, and it was Jack Black who let the news slip.

Long rumored to have two children by Brad Pitt on the way, Jolie confirmed the news yesterday during a Today show interview along with Black, her Kung Fu Panda co-star. The two are in Cannes, France, promoting the animated film.

The twins will be the 5th and 6th children for Jolie and Pitt. She didn't volunteer the information until Black dropped the hint, joking that the couple will "have as many as (the) Brady Bunch when you have these."

"It's confirmed?" followed Today's Natalie Morales.

"Yeah, yeah, we've confirmed that already," Jolie said. "Well, Jack's just confirmed it actually."

The full interview will air this morning on NBC's Today.

James Garner, who was hospitalized late last week after suffering a minor stroke, should be going home shortly, the star's publicist said Tuesday.

The actor went to the hospital after becoming ill at home Friday, said his publicist, Jennifer Allen, in Los Angeles.

"He's still in the hospital but my understanding is he is doing well and will be going home soon. When, exactly, we have not been told yet," Allen said.

Garner, who turned 80 last month, rose to prominence in the 1950s as the star of Maverick, playing a wry riverboat gambler who was quicker with a quip than a gun.

and, unlike his Western counterparts, was faster still to run from trouble than to face it. The show aired from 1957 to 1962 but Garner, who was nominated for an Emmy as Bret Maverick, left in 1960 to pursue a film career.
