Earlier today, we covered some early excerpts from Jennifer Garner?s W Magazine interview (here for the earlier coverage). Jennifer spoke about how she and husband Ben Affleck decided early on in their relationship to ?start breeding?. She also talked about how she couldn?t live without her girlfriends, because they?re the ones who listen to her bitch. W Magazine just put the full interview online (here), with a slideshow (here). Jennifer was photographed by Craig McDean for the magazine, and he does great work here. I love these photos. As for the complete interview? well?. Jennifer has never been my cup of tea. I find her a little cloying and goody-two-shoes. Which is fine, it takes all kinds. I don?t hate her, I can just take her in small doses. She works very, very hard at coming across as this wholesome, I think:
Jennifer on her Ina ?The Barefoot Contessa? Garten obsession: ?I know somebody who is a friend of hers, and she says she?s going to get us together? I tried to get on Ina?s [Food Channel] show. I tried to use my, well, you know?I say, use what you have to make the world better or for yourself! But eventually she just said, ?I?m sorry, I only use my real friends on the show.? I felt like, What are you saying? That we?re not friends? I know everything about you!?
On being a working mom: ?I live my life at these two extremes. I?m either a full-time stay-at-home mom or a full-time actress.?
On possibly working with husband Ben Affleck: ?I think he?s brilliant at what he does, but why rock the boat? It works between us pretty well the way it is. I don?t know if I want to go to work with him. I?d be like, ?Okay already, you got the shot. Let?s go home!??
The paparazzi situation: The situation is somewhat better in Boston, where ?there are fewer of them, and they hide behind things, so my kids aren?t aware of them, which makes all the difference in the world,? Garner says. But in L.A., ?if I try to go to the supermarket, the police come. We talked forever about leaving Los Angeles, but anywhere you go some dodo is going to buy a camera and start following you.?
On being a mom to her two daughters: She calls breast-feeding ?the coziest feeling in the whole world? and has bonded with the other moms at Violet?s school. ?You feel so close to them so quickly because you?re going through the same thing,? she says. And then there?s the homemade baby food. ?It?s a little over the top,? she admits. ?And I tell myself, Just give her a jar of food and forget about it! Don?t be so precious! But it?s so easy?I just puree and freeze.?
On traveling with her kids: Garner is the first to point out that she has help?though she follows the admission with ?Does that sound snotty, to say I have help?? But most working mothers aren?t required to relocate for months at a time whenever they land a job. That?s getting harder, now that Violet is in school. As they prepare to head home to Los Angeles in November, her elder daughter is ?a little nervous about whether the girls at school will already have friends,? Garner says. ?We thought we could take them anywhere until they were six, but I don?t know if that?s going to work out that way.?
On her new film, Valentine?s Day: ?I got to work at home in L.A., which never happens, and it was a fun job that wasn?t all on me. There are a lot of things that made it an easy yes,? Garner says of her reasons for signing on to the movie, which she describes as ?similar in feel and design to He?s Just Not That Into You. There?s nothing that?s not satisfying about it.?
On her struggles with being a working mom and a working actress: ?It?s hard because I?ve taken so much time off already. But I have this internal battle between, I need to work, I need to work, I need to work and I need to be home with my kids. And the kids win.?
On this year?s Halloween costumes: Violet will be Ariel from The Little Mermaid; Seraphina, whom everyone calls Sera (pronounced like Sarah, not as in ?Que Sera, Sera?), will be her friend Flounder; and Ben will be playing the role of Triton, King of the Sea. Last year the family was in New York for Halloween, and Garner, seven months pregnant, let Violet talk her into a mother-daughter costume: Fred and Ted, the dogs from a children?s book series of the same name. ?I just was so fat and huge and ugly and in a furry dog costume. And of course there were tons of paparazzi outside and I couldn?t escape them!? she says, laughing. ?So I feel like that bought me a pass this year. I?ll take pictures.?

See, she?s not a bad person, she?s not nasty or mean or anything like that. She?s actually very professional, and she?s someone my mother would love to adopt. Maybe that?s why Jennifer grates on me a little. A little surrogate sibling rivalry.
In any case, I?m sure Valentine?s Day will be a big hit for Jennifer and everyone else in the film. It seriously has half of Hollywood in it, so if this film goes down, there?s a lot of people to spread the blame to. Here?s the trailer? surprisingly, Jennifer is not featured that much in it (her love story is with Patrick Dempsey). But Jennifer Biel?s bad acting made me laugh out loud:

The issue, which hits newsstands on Dec. 22, features a few close and personal shots of the star.Jennifer opened up to the magazine ahead of the release ofValentine’s Day, chatting about her career and life as Mrs. Affleck.On deciding to have kids with Ben: “We were together a year, and we just started breeding. We were like, ‘Let?s have a baby!’ And eight days later?”On her mentioning Ben in interviews and his not mentioning her: “Ben asks me, ‘How come when I do an interview I manage to keep you out of it completely?’ And I?m like, ‘Either because you don?t think about me or because boy magazines don?t care about what I make you for dinner. But they should!’”On being away from loved ones while working: “That?s the hardest thing about being on location when it?s not for your own project. When it?s for you, you?re on set with everybody you know, but if not, it?s lonely. I can live with Ben working crazy hours. But I can?t live without girlfriends around to talk about men with! . . . It?s fine if he?s not there; I just need someone to bitch about it to!”

Jennifer Garner is the cover girl for the January 2010 issue of W Magazine. The full interview hasn?t been released yet, but there are some pretty good excerpts floating around. First: the cover image. It?s okay. I tend to think Jennifer?s hair is too dark, and that she would benefit from some highlights. Other than that, she looks great. She?s lost the weight from her second pregnancy, and the girl is one of the few who can pull off orange. I do prefer the second image from W Magazine, though, the black and white one (below). It?s sultry and sexy, and it?s nice to see Jennifer still has that part of herself.
Anyway, Jennifer is doing the cover interview as part of her advanced promotion for Valentine?s Day, which comes out? yes, you guessed it. In the excerpts I?ve found, Jennifer isn?t talking too much about the film, though. Instead, she?s talking about her life with Ben and their two girls:
On deciding to have kids with Ben: “We were together a year, and we just started breeding. We were like, ‘Let?s have a baby!’ And eight days later?”
On her mentioning Ben in interviews and his not mentioning her: “Ben asks me, ‘How come when I do an interview I manage to keep you out of it completely?’ And I?m like, ‘Either because you don?t think about me or because boy magazines don?t care about what I make you for dinner. But they should!’”
On being away from loved ones while working: “That?s the hardest thing about being on location when it?s not for your own project. When it?s for you, you?re on set with everybody you know, but if not, it?s lonely. I can live with Ben working crazy hours. But I can?t live without girlfriends around to talk about men with! . . . It?s fine if he?s not there; I just need someone to bitch about it to!”

I don?t blame Jennifer for talking about Ben in this interview or any interview. People want to know, so many mothers look up to her as their sweatpant-clad patron saint, and people love looking at photos of her family. There?s interest there, and Jennifer usually doesn?t give too much away. Plus, she probably wants to do a little damage control after that little rumor blip about Ben and his costar Blake Lively. For the record - I don?t think Ben cheated on Jennifer with Blake. But I also don?t think Ben and Jennifer?s relationship is as solid as some people think. We?ll see.

Gearing up for the holiday gift-giving season, Jennifer Garner was spotted out and about in Santa Monica yesterday (December 7) getting some shopping done.
The “Catch and Release” actress looked a bit soggy as she braved the rainy weather sporting some Christmas-colored red fingernails.
And it’s no wonder Ms. Garner is a bit behind on her holiday shopping as she was quite busy over the weekend.
Jen and her husband Ben Affleck were spotted in San Francisco on Sunday and prior to that she was in Los Angeles working on her current project “Valentine’s Day.”

Hard at work on her new movie, Jennifer Garner was busy on the set of “Valentine’s Day” in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon (December 4).
The former “Alias” actress teamed up with George Lopez for the day’s shoot, running through scenes as Lopez was arrested during the course of the action.
Always keeping a busy schedule, Jen spent the previous night at the Children’s Defense Fund’s 19th Annual Beat the Odds Awards Dinner at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
The charitable fete was held to honor a few noteworthy individuals who play a key role in the non-profit organization’s mission to help needy children.

Remember that honking giant engagement ring that Ben Affleck bought for Jennifer Lopez back in 2003? It was a 6.1 carat Pink diamond from Harry Winston and he paid 1.2 million for it at the time. These two canceled their wedding at the last minute in January, 2004 and the rest is history. The ring was sold in 2005 with no word on if the proceeds went to Ben or J.Lo or if they shared.
Jennifer Garner, Ben’s wife of four and a half years, has been seen out with a ring to top J.Lo’s giant Pink bauble. According to Star Magazine, the thing is 7 carats and it’s real!
Ben Affleck sure knows how to make a girl feel appreciated! He recently gave wife Jennifer Garner a stunning 7-carat diamond ring as a thank-you for hanging in there while he shoots the romantic drama The Town in Boston. “Jennifer was flabbergasted when he gave it to her,” says a source. “He said he knows he’s so lucky to have her, and that she’s a great mom.” So now Jen is tending to daughters Violet, 4 and Seraphina, 11 months, with a hot new rock on her hand. “She isn’t pretentious at all, so she’s kind of embarrassed by the size of it,” adds the source. “But she’s getting into showing off her bling!”
[From Star Magazine, print edition, December 14, 2009]
I scoured through photos of Jennifer Garner, because her poor family is pretty much stalked by paparazzi, and I found photos of her wearing the amazing ring on 11/17, 11/19 and 11/21. In photos taken on 11/28, 11/29 and 12/1 she’s not wearing the ring. She attended a charity event last night wearing different rings. Garner is an understated person who dresses pretty casually when she’s not on the red carpet. At first I thought she might not want to wear the ring out much because it’s so valuable. She’s also looking very thin lately, so maybe the giant diamond ring is out being sized. It’s also possible she’s not that into the ring, like maybe she thinks it’s garish. J.Lo loves flashy jewelry but Garner seems content with a few low-key pieces. She did have a ton of diamonds on at the 2008 Oscars, but that’s pretty much what all the celebrities wear.

Getting ready for an evening of family celebratory fun, Jennifer Garner was spotted picking up her daughter, Violet Affleck, on her 4th birthday in Santa Monica on Tuesday (December 1).
Joined by her mother as she carried little Seraphina in her arms, the former “Alias” actress gave her birthday girl a big hug before quickly loading up in the family car and driving away.
The celebratory outing comes as Jen gears up for more work duties - as she’ll be focusing her efforts on the Jim Field Smith directed comedy, “Butter”.
Based off of Jason A. Micallef’s screenplay, “Butter” is set in the Midwest U.S., where “an adopted girl discovers her talent for butter carving and finds herself pitted against an ambitious local woman in their town’s annual contest.”

Taking advantage of a rare break from her motherly duties, Jennifer Garner treated herself to a morning pampering session in Beverly Hills on Sunday (November 29).
The former “Alias” actress toted her Chanel handbag as she popped into the popular Byron & Tracey Salon - leaving with a fresh and stylish new hairdo.
On the career side of things, it was recently announced that Miss Garner will be taking on a role in a new movie called “Be with You”.
In developmental stage, a synopsis of the Allan Loeb written work tells: “On her deathbed, a wife and mother tells her family that after she passes, she will return to them. A year later, a woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to their loved one surfaces...”

Tending to her motherly duties, Jennifer Garner was spotted dropping daughter, Violet, off at school earlier today (November 17).
The “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” actress looked cute in jeans and flats with a maroon and gray hooded sweater as she escorted her little girl into the Santa Monica school.
As usual, young Violet looked thrilled to be going to school as she smiled away while walking inside.
The Affleck ladies have been back and forth from Santa Monica, CA to Boston, MA where Ben is currently filming “The Town.”
