Carlos Sastre has been a contender for the Tour de France victory for so long that few people thought he would ever actually win it, reports the New York Times.
In fact…

Protesters have gathered outside of the Fondation Lenval hospital this week, where the Brangelina twins were delivered.
The demonstrations goal was to make a statement to the mayor who had failed to address the case of a local murder victim, because he was too busy fawning over the birth of the twins.

Angelina waves bye-bye to In Touch
Angelina Jolie’s doctor says the actress has given birth to a girl and a boy, according to the Paris AP.
Dr. Michel Sussmann told The Associated Press that Anglina Jolie, the babies and Jolie’s partner, Brad Pitt, “are doing marvelously well.”
“The operation went just perfectly,” Dr. Michael Sussmann told People. “Angelina is in very good spirits. Brad Pitt was at her side. He was there and all was well.”
Sussmann said Jolie gave birth to a boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline, by Cesarian section Saturday night.
According to Popbytes.com, the web site URLs for Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline have already been purchased by the Jolie-Pitt lawyers.
Here’s how the story went down last night and this morning:

For the past several hours, press reports have been all over the place regarding the birth of the Jolie-Pitt twins.
First, In Touch claimed that Angelina Jolie gave birth to twin girls.
Us Weekly than reported that this was a rumor BUT received a confirmation that the births did indeed happen.
That was quickly followed by Us Weekly saying the births did not happen.
Confused? So was I.
When Angelina Jolie gives birth, the news will be posted on the the La Fondation Lenval hospital’s site, hospital spokesperson Nadine Bauer said. (Us Weekly via Extra TV)
Perezhilton is reporting that the television show Extra is debunking In Touch Weekly’s story on Angelina giving birth to twin girls.
If this is now not true, I’ll be at a complete loss for words.
But I do have a theory.
As the world awaits the birth of Angelina and Brad’s twins, here’s yet another cover featuring Angelina Jolie.
This time - courtesy of Vanity Fair Italy.
Certainly a better close-up than the recent Entertainment Weekly cover.
But, not as voluptuous as the Vanity Fair USA’s cover.
At least we know it’s real, unlike what Star Magazine pulled with this cover.

We are this close to the holiday weekend and Camp Jolie-Pitt is convincing the world media that we can relax.
Her obstetrician, Dr. Michel Sussmann, said Wednesday that the Oscar-winner could give birth anytime “in the next weeks,” reports People.
So stop worrying and enjoy the weekend. Umm. I don’t think so.
I bet tomorrow’s the big day. Stay tuned for updates.
Angelina Jolie hasn’t given birth yet, her obstetrician, Dr. Michel Sussman, said Wednesday at a French Riviera hospital, reports Us Weekly.
Asked when Jolie is expected to have her twins, he replied “in the weeks to come.”
(How much do you want to bet that she delivers over the holiday weekend?)
The actress checked into the hospital Sunday via helicopter, local newspaper Nice Matin reported.
And, yes, this is another contribution from our French correspondent Vincent Garmain.
I preface this post by saying that I don’t speak a lick of French (which I should have mentioned earlier) - and yes it’s my fault if Vincent is totally f&*k*n with me on the translations.
The cover of Oops! Magazine says stars are “ready to die to lose weight. The forbidden diets of the stars.” I WANT A FULL TRANSLATION!!!
And apparently, Brad & Angelina’s neighbors in France are fed up - probably ’cause of all those paps..
Plus, we get to see some summer weddings, e.g. Nicole & Joel.
On another front, I like the fun layout of the cover. It feels fresh compared to the boxy feel of the covers in the United States’ celebrity weekly market.
Your thoughts?
