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.

Mom of two Jennifer Garner made her first public appearance since the January birth of her second daughter, Seraphina, at the premiere of her new romantic comedy, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, co-starring Matthew McConaughey. She looks great and videos of the night show her being very friendly with fans as usual. The film is a modern take on A Christmas Carol, with a playboy bachelor re-living his promiscuous past and visiting the future to see what he missed by letting his childhood sweetheart get away. It probably won’t get glowing reviews, but the trailer makes it look like a fun mindless comedy and I would definitely go see it. In interviews Garner and McConaughey seem to have a kind of effortless camaraderie that looks like it translates well to the screen. There’s something fun and appealing about the two of them together.
The pair have had plenty of romps with romantic comedy, though few have caused them to reflect seriously on their past loves. There’s no escaping romantic history, however, with the Dickens-inspired Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, opening Friday. McConaughey stars as a heartless Casanova-type who gets his comeuppance when he is visited by spectral visions of his many flings. Garner is the long-ago love of his life, who may be about to find another soul mate…
McConaughey mentions a scene in which Garner’s character wakes up alone after spending the night with him. “He gets to go back and see what happened after she woke up. I’d be willing to say I’ve been there. I saw that and know I felt a little bit of that. I’ve had to end good relationships, and I know how we talked about them, and tried to be nice and everything, but I think … maybe that bruised a little bit more on the other side than I noticed, or than it did me.”
He leans in on his elbow and says, in a confidential tone: “Because when you flip it over, I know there were times when I was the dumpee or whatever, and I was like, ‘No way am I showing her how much this is hurtin’.’ ”
McConaughey’s cowboyish self-assurance fades as he considers the ramifications of being an invisible eyewitness to some of his own breakups: “There’s that old saying about three truths: what I say, what you say and what really happened. You never know how the other person really took it. You get behind the closed door, and you can see how your actions affected someone.”
During filming, the pair often talked about whether they would, if it were possible, go backward or forward in time to re-examine old or future relationships.
“Jennifer said, ‘Yeah, I would go forward, but not if I’m going to see a disaster that I can’t effect [sic] now,’ ” McConaughey says.
“Just to see it?” she adds, shaking her head. “No, I don’t want to see it.”
“The more interesting question is about going back,” he says. “Ghosts from your past or whatever …”
McConaughey goes back ? way back ? to some of his first experiences with romantic relationships.
“Those first times, though, I knew how to handle it,” McConaughey boasts with a grin. “We went to see a movie once, and slowly this right hand started moving.” Sitting beside Garner, he begins an infinitesimally slow drape across her shoulders. “It took me the entire movie to get there, and then the credits rolled. I was so concentrated on just getting there, I didn’t see one frame of the movie.”
“How far down did you get? Inside bra?” Garner says, calling him out on his vagueness.
“Yep,” he says, nodding. “And then the credits rolled.”
Garner laughs and says, “She probably spent the whole time thinking, ‘Am I going to brush that hand off? Am I going to move?’ She probably had to pee, but was like, ‘Well, no, because then he’d have to start from scratch.’ ”
“Girls just play defense,” Garner offers. “Guys are the chaser and pursuer.” Neither role is easier, she adds.
“I think it’s different now than it was when we were going through this,” she says. “It’s more equal. But when we were kids, you didn’t just call a guy. At least not a nice girl.”
“No, you didn’t call,” McConaughey agrees, like someone who remembers it well.
“There was no texting or IMing or anything. Your friends could go ask his friends if he was interested, but that was all,” she says. “You’d send your secretary of state out.”
“But the funnest and the hardest moments,” McConaughey says, “was the one where you go up and say, ‘Will you go with me?’ Just say those words, and then she says, ‘Yes.’ And I’d be like … ‘Great! Now what comes next?’ “
[From USA Today]
I kind of agree with Garner in that there’s nothing I’d like to see in the future if I can’t change it. There’s a little bit I’d like to visit from the past, but all of that is ancient history. McConaughey gets philosophical at the end of the interview and gives one of his common-sense but worthwhile quotes that reminds me why I’m such a fan. “I wouldn’t change any of the past - the victories, the glories or the pain. Cause they helped me get to where I am today.”
Here’s a pretty funny interview for Ghosts of Girlfriends Past with a journalist from National Lampoon who takes off his shirt to somehow better relate to often-shirtless McConaughey. Garner tries to get the guy to take off his pants too:
And here’s the trailer for Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. It’s out on this Friday, May 1.

After four years of marriage and two kids, Jennifer Garner has resorted to weekly sessions with a sex therapist to keep the spark alive with husband Ben Affleck. Perhaps anal was out of the question. Star Magazine says
The 37-year-old actress has been spotted several times in recent weeks with noted author and therapist Dr. Holly Hein.
?Jennifer has had some ups and downs with Ben, and she likes to check in with Dr. Hein once in a while,? says a source.
They talk tips on keeping the romance alive and dealing with Ben?s need for attention.
?Jennifer doesn?t want to lose him,” [the source adds]. “She?s in this for the long haul.?
Look, you don’t need fancy therapy and self-help books to keep your marriage interesting. That’s what alcohol and video cameras are for.
Frumping it up over the last two months:

Star Magazine is great. Most of their stories don’t pan out and sometimes aren’t even remotely accurate, but they don’t care, they keep trudging along. Today’s story from Star says Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have hired a sex counselor.
The 37-year-old actress has been spotted several times in recent weeks with noted author and therapist Dr. Holly Hein.
?Jennifer has had some ups and downs with Ben, and she likes to check in with Dr. Hein once in a while,? says a source.
They talk tips on keeping the romance alive and dealing with Ben?s need for attention.
?Ben?s great, but he can be very insecure. He likes Jen to play the devoted wife all the time,? the source explains.
Poor Ben. Not only does he suck in movies, but he also sucks in bed. He should try my patented bedroom move. It’s called “crying in the fetal position” and it’s done exactly how it sounds. You perform it before, during and after sex.

There are cracks in one of Hollywood?s seemingly strong marriages. Star Magazine is reporting that Jennifer Garner is seeking help from a noted sex counselor/therapist named Dr. Holly Hein. Jen apparently ?checks in? with Dr. Hein every so often because Ben Affleck is ?very insecure? and likes Jen to ?play the devoted wife?. Still, the Star report seems to take pains to say that Jen is only going to this sex therapist because she wants her marriage to last. Here?s a question - if they have marriage problems that stem from emotional and behavioral issues, why not a traditional therapist? Why a ?sex therapist?? And why is Jen going alone?
Four years into her relationship with Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner is seeing someone else: a sex counselor!
The 37-year-old actress has been spotted several times in recent weeks with noted author and therapist Dr. Holly Hein.
?Jennifer has had some ups and downs with Ben, and she likes to check in with Dr. Hein once in a while,? says a source.
They talk tips on keeping the romance alive and dealing with Ben?s need for attention.
?Ben?s great, but he can be very insecure. He likes Jen to play the devoted wife all the time,? the source explains.
Still, Jen?s more than willing to balance Ben, 36, two kids, a career and counseling. ?Jennifer doesn?t want to lose him. She?s in this for the long haul.?
From Star Magazine
I don?t believe the bulk of this. My guess is that someone, somewhere got a picture of Jennifer with Dr. Hein. And Star just made up a little story to go with a picture. Star is just looking to tarnish the image of a couple who is nearly universally liked. I do believe two pieces of the story though: I think Affleck is probably a bit insecure (and he may even have a wandering eye) and I think Garner is definitely ?in this for the long haul?. She?s vying to be the next ?America?s Sweetheart?, and sweethearts don?t have two divorces.
Note by Celebitchy: Garner was photographed out getting coffee with Hein on 12/30/08 (above) and outside her house on 3/31/09. Maybe they’re just friends.
