Jennifer Garner was seen out at a Big Brother Big Sisters Gala in LA last night with a new haircut, a lob, in a lighter color. She also got caramel highlights. Garner was in a crisp white suit and shes wearing a ring on her left ring finger. That makes me wonder if its an engagement ring, which weve speculated about before. Shes been with entrepreneur John Miller for years. It isnt a typical engagement ring though and it matches her bracelet. Garner likely realized that people would speculate about it and that may be why she kept her hand in her pocket for most of the photos.
I love everything about her look here, including her styling. The haircut and color suit her! Her makeup also looks great. As I was looking for stories about Garner I found her cover interview with Town & Country, which came out at the end of October but Im just seeing it now. Its mostly a profile of her tireless work with Save The Children, to which shes dedicated over a decade. There arent a lot of big quotes from her except for the one I put in the title that she sort of threw herself a wedding for her 50th birthday in April.
Addressing that word, nice, she says, ?I have no reason not to be nice. My life is lovely.? But, she adds, ?I?m not always just nice. I can also be salty, and I can be taciturn, or I can be really serious about what I want to get done. It?s not that I feel I?m underestimated in that way?I?m not afraid to stand up for myself and say, ?Just so you know, this isn?t going to fly with me.? When that happens, I don?t want you to be shocked that I?m a real person.?
In April she did do something out of character: She threw herself a splashy 50th birthday party. ?I basically had a wedding for myself,? she says with a laugh. ?I was so shocked that I was doing it.? But her birthday fell on Easter weekend, and after she invited her sisters and her parents, well, it snowballed. Just let the record show she also asked her guests to fill 5,000 backpacks each with enough food to feed a family of four for a program called Blessings in a Backpack.
?I put everyone to work,? she says. And then they danced to ?Rocky Top? by the Osborne Brothers
Suddenly I wondered if Garner has some unfinished business with Hollywood. ?I don?t know,? she says, genuinely thinking about it. ?Because I?m not ambitious in that way. Do I feel I?m owed some kind of accolades or something? Not really. I?ve kind of played it differently. How lucky am I that I?ve gotten to work all this time and raise a family? It?s more that the work truly comes from a place of love. I love being with a crew. I love being part of a crew. And I love when I get to be on set. It?s different from anywhere else. It?s just mine?
?I treat Save the Children like a job?and it?s a job I take as seriously as any job. I mean, how you do anything is how you do everything.?
[From Town & Country]
I like that quote how you do anything is how you do everything. Garner has definitely worked hard for Save the Children and the T&C profile is full of people singing her praises, including Maria Shriver and her brother Mark Shriver, the head of Save the Children. As for throwing herself a wedding for her birthday Selena Gomez just admitted she did that too. You may as well embrace the milestone birthdays with parties if thats your thing. My 50th is coming up and Im taking suggestions. There will definitely be a custom cake involved. My friend Karen just did a girls trip for hers!

A few weeks ago, I was obsessed with the fact that Gisele Bundchen bought a small ?beach cottage? in Miami back in February, when her marriage was falling apart. Gisele is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and it seemed cool to me that Gisele might be in the middle of decluttering her life and trying to live simply, in a humble beach cottage. As it turns out, the cottage will probably be used for business or something, or maybe she just liked it or bought it for someone else. Now it looks like Gisele secretly purchased a much bigger house just across the bay from Tom Brady?s place.
Gisele Bndchen secretly bought an $11.5 million Miami Beach mansion directly across the creek from Tom Brady?s pad, Page Six has exclusively learned. The supermodel splurged on a stunning five-bedroom, 6,600-square-foot home that has a nearly direct view of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback?s under-construction manse on Indian Creek Island.
Proving their troubled marriage was already doomed, Bndchen first viewed the mansion on Aug. 16, days before Brady?s shocking 11-day break from the NFL ? which was said to be a last-ditch attempt to save their relationship. She closed on the property on Oct. 6.
?Gisele was actively looking at homes in Miami Beach even before Tom took his break from the NFL, which indicates that she was already done with the marriage and moving on,? a source tells Page Six.
Brady?s in-the-works mansion has a waterfront view of Biscayne Bay, while Bndchen?s new home is in Surfside, almost directly across the narrow waterway also known as Indian Creek.
?You could literally swim from Gisele?s place to Tom?s ? not that they would ? but both homes will include a dock, so it would be very easy for them to co-parent their children while living so close to each other,? the source tells us. The former couple will share joint custody of their kids following their Oct. 28 divorce.
Bndchen?s home sits on a 18,400-square-foot waterfront plot. The property listing states it has soaring 25-foot ceilings, numerous terraces and views of a wide waterway plus Indian Creek Island. It features five bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
It also has a large outdoor pool, home theater, office, gym, playroom and an eat-in kitchen that opens up to a patio. The master bedroom is on the ground floor and features his-and-hers baths. It is located on a private cul-de-sac, offering Bndchen, 42, and their kids, Benjamin, 12, and Vivian, 9, more privacy. (The athlete also shares son Jack, 15, with ex Bridget Moynahan.)
Brady, 45, is believed to be keeping their property on Indian Creek Island ? also known as the Billionaire Bunker, an exclusive enclave of wealthy residents including hotel magnate Jeffrey Soffer, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner and activist investor Carl Icahn.

Yeah, if you have hundreds of millions of dollars, this sounds like an okay solution just buy the giant mansion across the bay from your ex-husband, and when it comes time to drop off the kids, tell them to swim to their dad?s house (she would never!). Anyway, Gisele?s real estate moves are kind of interesting, although I?m disappointed that she isn?t really moving into a smallish beach cottage and simplifying her life. It was rumored that, in their divorce, Tom got the billionaire?s bunker house and Gisele got the New York apartment. I wonder if Tom will buy a New York apartment across the hall from Gisele?
