I have a feeling Dr. Sussmann is really enjoying his moment in the limelight. My guess is the hospital is going to do everything in their power to keep Angelina Jolie in the facility for as long as they can. That way should he want to hold another press conference, there will be reason to do so. Although births are handled differently in Europe than in the US.

"She will stay for a few days. You know, in Europe it isn't like in the United States, where the patients go home after three days. They will stay a bit longer until everything is okay."

"It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy." Pitt never left Jolie's side – "he was my assistant!" Sussmann said jokingly – and even cut the babies' umbilical cords.

"He was ... perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional," said Sussmann.

So the end result of the meeting? Everyone is doing wonderfully - babies and parents.

"The babies are fine. The babies are with the mother and father and they are fine."

The Mayor of Nice also decided to take part in all the fun. He made an official presentation of the twins' birth certificates to the hospital, and had Angelina presented with a large bouquet of white roses and lilies.

"It's a pride to Nice and all its citizens. On behalf of the inhabitants of Nice, I congratulate the happy parents, the most famous couple of the world who have chosen our city for this happy event."

"I also congratulate the four brothers and sister of the newborns who are [history won't forget it] real 'Niçois' ('citizens of Nice')."

Press conferences? Mayors presenting birth certificates? $11 million baby shots? I don't know. Has it gone too far? However, I am one of those people who is interested in the details. So I guess I shouldn't complain.
