Jennifer Garner was spotted the other day running errands and enjoying a long breakfast with her pal Gina Torres at the Cheeho restaurant. Fans of ‘Alias’ will remember Gina as Jennifer’s arch nemesis Anna from Alias. But it looks like the pals have no bones with each other now. And you will notice that as Jennifer runs errands these days, particularly when the paps are around, she has shopping bags strategically placed around her mid-section. The reason for this is that until now Jennifer has managed to stay away from all of the pregnancy rumors in Tinseltown, but she can’t any more. Friends of hers have recently confirmed that Jennifer is now pregnant with her second child with Ben Affleck. Jenn is about five months along at this point, with an expected due date around Thanksgiving, shortly before Violet’s third birthday. Very interesting considering there has been a lot of split talk between this couple, so we will see what happens here. The first child to the Bennifers was their yummy little cutie pie Violet, and so since we know this is one pretty gene pool, their second should be just as darling. Many congrats to the happy and expanding family!

Here is Jennifer Garner perhaps indulging in some retail therapy as she hits a boutique in Pacific Palisades to shop for new handbags and clothes at Elyse Walker. Is it possible the retail therapy is to boost Jennifer’s spirits? There are some rumors circulating that her and Ben are on the outs and E! Online is suggesting that Jennifer is mulling a split with hubby Ben Affleck. Star magazine has also mentioned that Ben was seen canoodling with a London actress last month. Add this to the fact that Jennifer didn’t attend Ben’s One X One thing he hosted in Calgary last month. The rumor then is further compounded by the fact that Jennifer was seen looking at homes and properties in Beverly Hills two weeks ago without her Benny. To make matters worse, their ‘people’ are actually talking about it as well, when, in most cases rumors just go ignored by the publicists. Ben’s reps are saying they ‘don’t comment on this stuff’ and that all of the sources are liars. And by the way, don’t print that they are breaking up….You know how it is when the publicist doth protest too much…It wouldn’t be too surprising, given the noted longevity of any Hollywood couple, however, this family was actually kinda cute, and for a while there were giving us all some hope that some families do stay together in Tinseltown. What do you think?

All members of the Garner Affleck bunch took advantage of a beautiful Sunday morning in New York the other day and did the family thing and went for a stroll around the city. Ben is currently on work for his new movie “He’s Just Not That Into You” and Jennifer herself is also about to begin work on her latest project “The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past”. They all look so happy and normal, which is only surprising because many Hollywood families can not pull that off. And that Violet simply must be getting prettier every day, I love those tiny Mary Janes she’s sporting!

I just love watching celebrities hanging out with their kids. You know, there are those out there that always end up in shots with nanny in tow. Not with Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, these two are real hands-on parents and I gotta hand it to them, it can’t be easy with their schedules. Here we see Jennifer taking pretty little Violet out for a library day in Pacific Palisades. Never too early to start a love for literacy darlin’. Little Violet also had Daddy all to herself while they ran some errands together on the weekend. And who doesn’t just love to see a fine man hanging out with his precious baby. We should rename these folks the Cleavers, but with a wee one as cute as little Violet, it can not be difficult to want to love all over her.

Here is Jennifer Garner and cutie Violet enjoying some time at the serene Lake Shrine in Pacific Palisades. Mum and Violet walked the park and made sure the swans met their lunchtime. Aren’t they the cutest? And little Violet just gets prettier each day. In other news, if you have been wondering what Jennifer has been doing work-wise lately, it seems that she may be appearing in a Broadway revival of Cyrano de Bergerac. Reports are that she will play Roxane opposite Kevin Kline in the title role for about a ten week run. She will probably do well here, as she does have Broadway credits on her resume going back to 1995 when she played the understudy in the revived revival of A Month in the Country.

How cute is Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s little girl, Violet!?! She looks just like her parents and has mom, Jennifer’s eyes. She’ll definitely grow up to be beautiful! The two were snapped out & about for a day of errand running and shopping in LA. Is that a Starbucks shaken black iced tea that Ben’s holding? It’s the BEST drink eva! Nice and refreshing in the summer :)
