Taking care of some weekend errands, Jennifer Garner was spotted out and about in Pacific Palisades yesterday afternoon (July 26).
The “Alias” actress looked cool and casual as she stopped into the Farmers Market to try out some fresh grapes before washing it all down with a delicious Starbucks beverage.
And it’s good to see Ms. Garner enjoying some downtime, as she has been hard at work on her new movie “Valentine’s Day” as of late.
“Valentine’s Day” is about intertwining couples and singles in Los Angeles breaking up and making up based on the pressures and expectations of Valentine’s Day.

| | Is Jennifer Garner consulting fertility doctors to give Ben Affleck a son? | | Added 14 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Pretty much as soon as Jennifer Garner gave birth to daughter Seraphina in January, rumors began swirling that Ben Affleck was desperate for a son, and that he was suffering ?estrogen overload? with his wife, two daughters, and a mother-in-law who was/is maybe living with the family. The tabloids dropped the story pretty quickly, but now they?re bringing it back. I suppose it?s because Seraphina is six months old now, and all of those In Touch Weekly readers just want Jennifer Garner continuously knocked up so that she can populate the world with adorable dimpled babies.
Now the tabloids are reporting that Jennifer is totally on board with ?trying for the boy?. It seems she?s consulting fertility doctors to see how she can guarantee Ben his male heir. I have two points about this. This is probably just general crap In Touch made up to go along with some new pictures of a not-quite-super thin-yet Jennifer Garner (who is still carrying around a tiny bit of post-pregnancy weight, but she looks lovely and healthy, and not pregnant).
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck?s youngest child Seraphina is only 6 months old, but the happy parents are ready to add to the family again - and this time, they want to give Violet, 3, and Seraphina a brother.
?Their daughter weren?t planned pregnancies - they just happened naturally,? a friend explains.
But since they?re aiming for a son next, the couple have turned to a fertility expert for help in charting Jen?s cycle to better their odds.
?They adore their daughters more than anything,? says the pal. ?But of course, they would love to have a boy too.?
[From In Touch Weekly, print edition, July 20 2009]
I?ll buy that Jennifer wants another baby at some point, but I doubt she wants to try again anytime soon. I just checked her IMDB stats, and Jen has no fewer than eight projects lined up in various stages of pre-production. The girl?s going back to work. Just so - she?s the breadwinner of the family.

Parents of students who attend the First Presbyterian Nursery School in Santa Monica are “outraged” at the paparazzi activity outside (and inside) school grounds. The school has enrolled many children of celebrities in the past, but currently Meg Ryan’s daughter Daisy True and Jennifer Garner’s daughter Violet. At least 30 parents have complained about the intrusive tactics of the paparazzi, and one family reported being knocked down by a paparazzo who shoved his camera in the mother’s face. Jennifer Garner herself has discussed the way the paparazzi taunt her daughter. Santa Monica City Councilman Richard Bloom says that he and his department are looking into the reports and hopefully sometime in the future a law will be enacted making it illegal for the paparazzi to approach past a safe distance.
The paparazzi are creating a “circus-like” atmosphere at a Santa Monica preschool, according to dozens of parents who are outraged by the chaos.
Among the celebrities who send their children to the First Presbyterian Nursery School are Jennifer Garner and Meg Ryan, both of whom have been photographed picking up their children by a crowd of hungry photographers.
City officials have received letters from thirty parents complaining about the nuisance caused by the paparazzi.
In the letters, the parents say the cameras have increased congestion on the street, the paparazzi drive recklessly in the neighborhood and photographers create a scene that is frightening to their children. At least one family said they were verbally assaulted by one of the photographers.
“We’ve seen parents get lenses in their face where literally it knocks them over,” parent Geoffrey Blake told KTLA.
Mary Hartzeil, the director of the nursery school says that the school has had famous parents for years, but the situation has gotten worse lately.
‘The school has always been a place that welcomes diversity and we have families from different economic, racial, social and religious backgrounds,” she wrote in a letter to city officials.
A local Santa Monica City Councilman, Richard Bloom, says the city will investigate “intrusive and invasive” activities of paparazzi photographers and videographers in areas where children gather. Bloom calls the situation “intolerable” and agrees that something must be done.

The paparazzi following around an adult actor or actress is one thing, but terrifying children with their antics is quite another - especially when those children are just innocent bystanders. No child should be subjected to that kind of harassment. Think about it - videos of the paparazzi crowding around celebrities are scary enough, but imagine if you only came up to the photographers’ knees.
I was surprised to hear that the only celebrities who send their children to school there were Jennifer Garner and Meg Ryan - and that they were enough to cause such issues. Sometimes it doesn’t pay to be a hands-on celebrity mom in Hollywood. I have to wonder if the paparazzi would be as intrusive if a nanny dropped off Violet instead. But that’s just not Jennifer’s style.
It was refreshing that the parents weren’t blaming the incidents on Meg Ryan and Jennifer Garner themselves, and hopefully the problem will be solved. Those parents aren’t going to let this keep going on for much longer.

Jennifer Garner and her 3-year-old daughter Violet Affleck must be two of the most photographed people in Hollywood. I?d bet that after Brangelina?s crew and Suri Cruise, Violet must be the most photographed celebrity kid. She always looks adorable and Jen is often seen taking her on fun outings. But we forget when we?re looking at these idyllic pictures that there are loud, screaming people behind them. Paparazzi yelling, harassing, flashing a thousand bright bulbs on them. Jennifer signed on for all this ? something she readily admits. But Violet didn?t. She lives in a fishbowl, and Jen thinks there needs to be more laws protecting celebrity children.
They are waiting — cameras and camcorders in their hands — every morning in front of the kindergarten gates. Some days, there are enough of them to block easy access to the school. They can be aggressive and frightening to a young child. And in the evening, when parents return to pick the youngsters up, they are back in full force again.
Little wonder that Jennifer Garner finds herself tensing up whenever she takes her three-year-old daughter to preschool. Little wonder that she experiences mounting frustration and rage over the failure of the system to protect the children of celebrities from the harassment of the paparazzi.
?Now, it?s worse because of the entire world of tabloid journalism,? she says bluntly. ?Now, there are almost as many video cameras as there are film cameras and the situation has shifted so that a huge amount of their focus is put on the children of celebrities.? Which is why getting daughter Violet Anne to school each morning has turned into a nightmare for Garner and husband Ben Affleck.
?To call it a ?problem? is the hugest understatement in the world,? she says passionately. ?There are no laws protecting children. They have no right to privacy. Because my husband and I are public figures, it is assumed that our daughters are public figures, and there?s nothing to protect them.?
? It?s that fierce love for her children that has sparked her outburst against the paparazzi this morning. ?There are cars chasing us outside our home day and night — through red lights. There is absolutely nothing — nothing, nothing — on the side of care.? But preschool is the biggest ordeal. ?When we go to preschool, there are so many paparazzi there that they are knocking kids on the heads with cameras and knocking them down.?
She recalls one day when an elderly woman was knocked to the ground. ?They?re there every single day, when I drop Violet Anne off and pick her up outside the gates. There are huge numbers of them — and they?re aggressive. They talk to her. They yell at her. They try to get her attention. They try to get her to react. It is a shame, shame, shame.?
Garner admits there are some protective laws on the books in California, but they are difficult to enforce ?unless there?s a police officer with you at all times.? She believes some kind of tough licensing legislation is needed to prevent the paparazzi from ?making money off people who don?t want their picture to be taken.? She also suggests that celebrities, simply by reason of being celebrities, often don?t get a sympathetic hearing.

I used to get annoyed when celebrities complained about photographers, but once you actually see videos of the whole scene ? not just the final cute photo of someone famous ? it?s hard not to feel badly for them. Yes they have privileged lives, but I cannot imagine being able to cope with that level of intrusion. Paparazzi often get right up in people?s faces ? I would be swatting cameras right and left. I can only imagine what I?d do if I had kids. And no matter what, the children of celebrities don?t deserve to be harassed, or even interrupted in slight ways. Their parent(s) chose a certain career and the resulting lifestyle. The kids had no say in it. And it?s just an unfair way to have a childhood. I think back on all the things I was scared of when I was little ? and they were all baseless fears. Imagine how frightening it would be to have these goons yelling at you, hovering over you en masse when you?re a small, possibly timid child.
Here’s a link to video of a then-pregnant Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck picking up Violet from preschool in December and here is Garner alone with Violet outside her school in February. It really seems barbaric for them to go through all that.
Here are Jennifer, Violet, and Seraphina on their way to the park in Boston yesterday. She really does deal with it all graciously. Seraphina is also shown with her nanny earlier that morning. Images thanks to Fame Pictures .

Jennifer Garner wants us to know that she?s trying to be boring. Mission Accomplished! No, no. I won?t go there. Jennifer is still out promoting The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, and she gave an interview to Movies.ie. She claims that she and husband Ben Affleck are trying to be boring because they think the celebrity gossip/tabloid world is poison. She also talks a little about Violet and Seraphina, but mostly about the film, Matthew McConaughey, weddings and her upcoming film with Ricky Gervais. The Gervais part is the best part, just to let you know:
There?s only one word to sum up life for Jennifer Garner right now ? boring. At least that?s what she wants us to think. The truth is that she doesn?t do parties or wild nights our or even breakdowns like other celebs because she?s quietly going about what she really loves ? motherhood mixed with just a little Hollywood.
With three-year-old Violet and baby Seraphina, born just four months ago, Jen and husband Ben Affleck have found the kind of happiness denied to so many famous couples.
Jen is making what has become one of her rare returns to Hollywood over the past few years with romantic comedy Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. The movie sees Jen play bridesmaid to her soon-to-be-wed sister and her womanising groom Matthew McConaughey. With Matt?s character struggling with a bad case of cold feet it takes a ghostly and Christmas Carol-like revelation to put the wedding back on track.
Here Jen talks about juggling babies with box office, how she?s coping with life as a famous mother and why she?s doing everything she can to keep her perfect life as boring as possible.
Q: How are you enjoying motherhood second time around?
JG: ?It?s the same thing but crazier (laughs). No, everything is going really well, thank you very much. Everybody is happy and healthy. It feels like it?s only one more but it feels like three more.?
Q: What is your secret to keeping your family out of the tabloids?
JG: ?We try to be boring (laughs). I try to stay away from it. Ben taught me that you cannot read that stuff, that it?s poison. It is horrible to read anything written about you. I would read the positive stuff if somebody read it through for me beforehand.?
Q: Did you learn anything from this movie?
JG: ?Well, I think yeah, of course, there are messages to the movie: that you have to take a chance on love. That it?s worth the risk.?
Q: How weird was it to act out the scenes when Matthew is a ghost and invisible to your character?
JG: ?It felt like he was an audience of one. It just gave it a different twist. I liked it. It informed the scene to have Matthew there. It was quite nice to just ignore him (laughs).?
Q: Have you had any experience of wedding angst like your character in this movie?
JG: ?I am usually part of the disaster of a wedding if I?m a bridesmaid which I?ve been lucky enough to be several times. One time I had my dress altered and had not tried it on again and there was four-to-six-inches left of the hem and we had to duct tape it up. It was all last minute because I never get ready until the last minute because I?m hanging out and chatting, doing girls? makeup which I should not be doing. I went to walk down the aisle one time in front of my friend and the curlers were still in my hair. So I?m not a good bridesmaid in that way.?
Q: Did you always want to be famous?
JG: ?No. The whole movie stardom ride is totally unexpected. I certainly never expected to be in front of a camera even for one day of my life. Even when I was studying acting, I wouldn?t even go into the film school of my school. I was only about stage. I was a total snob. Then when I moved to New York and was trying to get a job on stage and was broke and got offered a TV movie, I was like, ?Hot dog! Put me in front of that camera. Let?s do it!? So now that it has continued to evolve, I love my job.
Q: You?re doing another movie with a wild concept, a world where no one?s ever lied.
JG: ?That?s right. Ricky Gervais wrote it with Matt Robinson and they directed too. It?s just one of those little movies but it has a very big idea which is to imagine a world with no artifice whatsoever. So for example, an ad for Coca Cola would say, ?Coca Cola, it?s bad for you but it?s sparkly and tastes good. Please continue buying Coca Cola. It?s really famous.? Ricky?s character is the one exception to the rule. He learns how to lie and just that one person learning how to lie changes the entire world. It?s really, really fun and there are a lot of great cameos in it. It?s just a kooky little movie.?
Q: What was it like being directed by Ricky Gervais?
JG: ?He is very specific about things. The worst thing about Ricky as a director is that if something is funny, if something is funny at all and it was very improvisational, he breaks and laughs and ruins your take. I would say, ?It?s your movie. Just leave. Just go in another room. Let me just do it.? He?s like, ?Just do it again.? I said, ?Ricky, it?s not the same. You suck!? But he knew exactly what he wanted.?
Q: Would you like to do more romantic comedies or are you itching to go back to action roles?
JG: ?I?ve been lucky to be able to change because I did become known out of the gate so much for action. I?m really happy that I didn?t get stuck there. The whole point to me of being an actor is to get to do different things or else you might as well just go to an office and show up every day. Of course, you?re always looking for how to flip it for yourself, as well as how can I surprise people. That?s the fun.?
Q: Would you like to do another movie with Ben?
JG: ?A big part of it is that somebody’s got to raise the kids, so if we’re both at work, that’s a bummer for them. But there’s no rush. We’re not looking for anything to do together just now.?
[From Movies.ie]
See, the Ricky Gervais part is the best. It?s as if Ricky?s humor has infected her boringness. No, I said I wouldn?t go there! I actually don?t have a problem with Jennifer Garner, she seems pretty harmless, and I?ve liked her in several films. But she doesn?t give a great interview, and her wholesome-seeming personality puts me to sleep. This is the woman who abandoned her husband (Scott Foley) for her co-star (Michael Vartan). This is the woman who dumped Vartan for Affleck, and got pregnant two seconds later. I’m not judging, I’m just pointing out that she’s made some interesting choices - she should be more a more captivating interview. So my only explanation is that she?s telling the truth about trying to be boring.
Here?s Jennifer at a local park in Boston with Violet and Seraphina on Wednesday. Images thanks to Fame Pictures .
