Teaming up for a retail romp, Jennifer Garner stepped out with Violet for a trip to the mall in Santa Monica on Thursday (August 27).
Hitting up a number of shops, the mother/daughter duo spent quite a bit of their time at the popular “Build-a-Bear” workshop.
Meanwhile, Miss Garner continues to receive praise for her natural look - as she recently topped a Parade magazine poll as most natural beauty.
Getting 27% of the vote, the “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” actress was followed up by Kate Winslet and Reese Witherspoon, while Scarlett Johansson, Michelle Obama and Gwyneth Paltrow also received their fair share of votes.

Making the most of the beautiful SoCal weather, Jennifer Garner and her daughter Violet Affleck were spotted playing together at a Santa Monica park yesterday (August 26).
The “Catch and Release” mommy looked to be having as much fun as her little girl, tickling and chasing her around as the paparazzi fired away.
And of course, both Jennifer and Violet were wearing matching nail polish, undoubtedly the result of a recent at-home girls’ night.
Meanwhile, Jen’s husband/Violet’s father Ben Affleck was busy across the continent, working on his new film “The Town” in Boston, Massachusetts.

Making quite the cute mother/daughter pair, Jennifer Garner and daughter Violet were spotted out in Santa Monica, CA yesterday afternoon (August 21).
The “13 Going on 30” star looked cute in white pants, a grey top and flips flops while walking her little one into the Child Success Learning Center.
In other news, Ms Garner recently told press that when she was younger she always dreamed of being a librarian, saying, “And my dream was to grow up to be a librarian, because I had a librarian named Mrs. McCann who I thought was the most magical woman on the planet.”
The actress continued, “She used to publish little versions of my stories, typing them on manila folders and illustrating them with pictures of me and my teddy bear.”

Hard at work on the next sure-to-be-hit date movie, Ashton Kutcher and Jennifer Garner were spotted on the set of “Valentine’s Day” yesterday afternoon (August 18).
The “Butterfly Effect” stud looked focused as he filmed scenes on the Los Angeles set, taking a break from overseeing the production of his new television project “The Beautiful Life.”
And judging from the way he was dressed, it looks like Ashton plays a flower delivery guy in the film, due out this February.
Meanwhile Jennifer Garner was plenty busy herself, grabbing some delicious eats from craft services in between takes.

Jennifer Garner took her oldest daughter Violet to Starbucks yesterday in Los Angeles. It must have been early in the morning, because Jennifer didn?t even bother to make Violet change out of her pajamas. Violet?s always been a cute little girl, but as she gets older, she looks less like her mom and more like her dad, don?t you think? Except when she smiles - then she looks just like her mom. When they exited the Starbucks, it looks like Violet managed to talk her mom into getting her some kind of treat too. Perhaps a scone?
Anyway, Jennifer?s publicity tour for The Invention of Lying will be starting up soon. To promote the film, Jennifer contributed an essay for Oprah Winfrey?s O Magazine, in the section called ?Books That Made a Difference to?? Jennifer?s five book pics are: Crimes of the Heart by Beth Henley; Possession by A.S. Byatt (which is a really good book, and a sucky movie adaptation); The Razor’s Edge by W. Somerset Maugham (I read that years ago, and I?m struggling to remember the plot); John Adams by David McCullough (which was used as the primary source material for the HBO miniseries) and The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook by Ina Garten (Team Ina, I LOVE her). Before Jennifer lists and describes her five books, she gives us this funny, touching little story about how, when she was a kid, she dreamt of becoming a librarian. At first I was like ?Oh, Jennifer, stop trying to be boring? but I ended up liking the story about one of her first mentors:
As a kid in West Virginia, I had a very rich imaginary world. And my dream was to grow up to be a librarian, because I had a librarian named Mrs. McCann who I thought was the most magical woman on the planet. She used to publish little versions of my stories, typing them on manila folders and illustrating them with pictures of me and my teddy bear: T-Bear Goes to Mars and T-Bear’s Trip to the Moon. She was my first mentor?the first person who really took an interest in me for me, which when you’re a kid is a major deal. I’ve had other mentors, and those relationships were based on reading. They gave me a sense of who I was.
My mom grew up in poverty in dust bowl Oklahoma, and the thing that got her out was education. She had three daughters, and she did all the housekeeping, all the cooking, all the driving?just like moms do?and was also a teacher. But somehow, at night, she was in my room and we read to each other. I would read a page and she would read a page. And I felt like a different person because of that. Once I had kids, I looked at my baby and thought, “What am I supposed to do with you?” Nobody tells you how you need to play with them to help their brains develop. Mothers all over the country want what’s best for their kids, but they might not have had a mom or dad like mine who took a keen interest in the way their minds worked. Yet they don’t love their kids any less than I love mine. That’s what made me become a Save the Children ambassador, and it’s why I’m so passionate about early education in particular. I know that it was reading that helped me define myself.

What?s weird is that Jennifer refers to her mother?s childhood as ?dust bowl Oklahoma?. The Oklahoma/mid-West Dust Bowl is generally considered to be through the 1930s, and perhaps, if you?re stretching it, into the first half of the 1940s. So if her mother grew up in ?dust bowl Oklahoma?, the youngest age I can come up with for her mother is in her early seventies, but probably older. With Jennifer at 37 years old? well, maybe the timeline isn?t off. But it would mean Jennifer?s mother probably started her family a lot later than other women of that generation.
As I was reading Jennifer?s book selections, I noticed something amazing. Mad Men?s Jon Hamm contributed an essay to ??Books That Made a Difference to?? too! By the way, no one tell Jaybird what happened on Mad Men - she hasn?t seen it yet. Anyhoodle, Hamm says that he loves ?my generation of novelists?Michael Chabon, Jonathan Lethem, and Jonathan Franzen?and the way they can tell a story and make it interesting, make it deep, make it funny and yet incredibly touching.? He also admits to being something of math and science geek. His favorites book picks are: Arcadia by Tom Stoppard (it?s a very good play); Cruel Shoes by Steve Martin; Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon (excellent choice) ; The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene (my dad loves that one); Foucault’s Pendulum by Umberto Eco (I?ve never been able to get past page two on that one).

Getting an early start to the day, Jennifer Garner took her daughter Violet to their local Starbucks in Brentwood on Sunday (August 16).
A paparazzo spy on the scene tells that young Violet was wearing what looked like Pink pajamas - looking to be very happy with her treat from the local coffee shop.
Aside from tending to her motherly duties, Jen has also been putting in work on the star-studded new movie “Valentine’s Day”.
Meanwhile, family patriarch Ben Affleck is currently out east in Boston, where he was spotted over the weekend scouting for locations for his new film.

This is a weird, strange little gossip blurb out of Star Magazine. It seems that Julia Roberts and Shirley MacLaine are working together on the romantic-comedy Valentine?s Day, which basically stars half of Hollywood. I think it?s supposed to be like a Love, Actually-esque multi-storied romance, but I don?t know who is romancing who in the film. So far, we?ve seen on-set photos of everyone from Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Garner, Eric Dane, and Jessica Alba, and the IMDB credits also include Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway, Ashton Kutcher, Taylor Lautner, Patrick Dempsey, Topher Grace, Queen Latifah, Jamie Foxx, and Taylor Swift.
According to Star, Julia and Shirley MacLaine have some scenes together, and when they were through filming, the crew gave Julia a champagne toast. Shirley was not toasted:
Julia Robert is the toast of Tinseltown. After wrapping her scenes for the upcoming film Valentine?s Day, she received a standing ovation and champagne from the cast and crew.
Just Julia?s costar, Shirley MacLaine, didn?t get the same reception.
?She was such a rude, nasty pain in the butt the whole time,? an insider reveals. ?They decided to skip the toast for Shirley.?
Maybe in her next lifetime!

I guess I could buy it. Shirley MacLaine had a reputation for being a difficult actress to work with, I suppose she could still be like that. What I find weird is that with this large of a cast, and this many big names, they can probably only be working for about a week at most. How big of a bitch can you really be in a week?
Here?s Julia Roberts on the set of “Valentine’s Day” on July 7th, and Shirley MacLaine on the set on July 14th. Images thanks to Pacific Coast News and Fame Pictures ..

Getting in a weekend workout, Jennifer Garner was spotted out for an early morning hike near her Pacific Palisades home on Sunday (August 9).
The “Juno” sweetheart was joined by former Alias Co Star Victor Garber, who appeared to be having a difficult time keeping up with his walking companions.
On the career end of things, Miss Garner has been putting in time on the set of “Valentine’s Day” - which is about “intertwining couples and singles in Los Angeles breaking-up and making-up based on the pressures and expectations of Valentine’s Day.”
She’s also lined up for roles in “Sabbatical,” “Be With You,” and “Butter” - all of which are yet to begin filming.

Enjoying a mother/daughter outing, Jennifer Garner took Violet out for some breakfast in Brentwood, California on Friday morning (August 7).
Before heading into the restaurant, the “Juno” babe and her eldest child took time to pay the parking meter but, upon return, Jennifer found a ticket waiting on her Lexus.
Meanwhile, recent reports tell that Garner isn’t all that pleased with the close bond shared between her actor hubby Ben Affleck and his ex-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow.
“Ben and Jen got one of Gwyneth’s famous notes this year just after Seraphina was born,” a source told FOX News.
The insider adds: “It was very nice, but it was a little too personal. Gwyneth made sure to mention how she was happy that Ben was finally creating the family he had always wanted, a family, which the two of them discussed in depth when they were dating. It just rubs Jen the wrong way.”
