Jennifer Garner was offered the role of Pamela Ewing in the upcoming “Dallas” movie, but she decided not to do it after learning that J.Lo had already signed on to the project. Seems like Garner has a healthy fear of her husband’s big-bottomed Latina ex:

Garner has a happy relationship and a gorgeous baby with Affleck, the man who put a stop to J.Lo’s lavish wedding and gradually dumped her through passive aggressive behavior. Now all J.Lo has is a skeletal husband and a fat stomach that she wears mumus over in an attempt to get people to think it’s a baby bump.

It doesn’t matter how rich or successful J.Lo is, Garner will always be happier and more content because she’s just a genuinely kind, positive person. Judging from her decision to stay away from J.Lo, she has a lot of sense too.

Ben Affleck had a migraine so bad he went to the emergency room yesterday:

Two hours is a pretty short period of time to get in and out of the emergency room on a holiday no less, and he was undoubtedly given star treatment.

This isn’t Ben’s first terrible headache. He admitted suffering from post-spinal tap headaches after a spinal tap to check for meningitis in 2004. (I had a spinal tap a while ago, and was laid up for like a week with a headache.)

The article says that Affleck is probably stressed from working as a first-time big budget director on the film
“Gone, Baby, Gone,” starring his brother Casey Affleck and now filming in his hometown of Cambridge, MA. That could be true but he should insist on an MRI. I have a friend from college who had terrible migraines and was told it was stress. It turns out she had a brain tumor. Last I heard from her a couple years ago she was doing fine a few months after surgery. True story.

Violet Affleck is nearly six months old, and she’s a little cutie. Matt Damon’s wife, Luciana, is expecting is baby girl in mid-June. Once Damon’s daughter is old enough, she can have playdates with little Violet Affleck!

That’s so cute and those little girls are going to be adorable.

Here is the Affleck family out for breakfast in Cambridge. Look at how Jennifer Garner thanks the man who opens the door for her!

Alias is ending on May 22nd, and Jennifer Garner has said that she’s looking forward to some time off with her nearly six month-old daughter, Violet. She may not have much time to rest, because she’s negotiating for a role in The Kingdom, a political thriller:

Garner made headlines last week with her charity work with hurricane Katrina victims. She toured New Orleans with Reese Witherspoon and Cicely Tyson, and was brought to tears by a children’s performance:

It’s good of her to lend her celebrity to the cause, and more government resources and effort should be put into support for Katrina victims. Many were without adequate housing for months.

Garner has said that Alias had a good run, but that she is sad to leave her character behind.

Whatever she does next, Garner is sure to do well. She’s a positive, friendly person and doesn’t take her success for granted.

Here she is outside The Late Show last night, and in New Orleans with Reese Witherspoon. There is also a scan from People magazine about their trip. [via]

Jennifer Garner has said that her ABC show Alias has run its course, but that she’s sad to leave her character Sydney behind. It sounds like she’s making the best of the situation:

Garner also missed doing her own stunts while she was pregnant, and was thrilled to get the change to jump off a ten-story building while filming the show last wekend:

Garner is a positive, friendly person and sounds so gracious in her comments about the series. Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow and Eva Longoria – take a note!

Here is Garner going to lunch with a friend at Spago. [via] (Pictures are low-res. Sorry about that.)

Jennifer Garner said she’s looking forward to a break from working after Alias wraps. She also said that she was quite embarassed by the birth scene in Alias, and that it was difficult for her to film around the male crew of “Alias,” with whom she’s grown close over her years on the series:

Alias will be on ABC this week in a two hour episode that shows Garner giving birth:

Garner says she’s going to take time off, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that she doesn’t have any projects lined up. It was reported at the end of March that she is going to get nude in an upcoming erotic thriller. It doesn’t bode well for her nude scene that she was so shy about portraying the act of childbirth for Alias.

Garner celebrated her birthday on the set of Alias. She turned 34 on April 17th.

Here are pictures of Garner visiting a friend in East Hollywood [via] and celebrating her birthday on the set of Alias. She is shown dancing on the beach when a plane flies overhead with a “Happy Birthday” sign for her. The baby she is holding is for the show, and is not her four month-old, Violet, who was reportedly on set with her.

Four month-old Violet Affleck, the baby daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, was rushed to hospital when she had trouble breathing on April 8th. She is fine now, but the new family had quite a scare:

That must be when the recent pictures of Violet were taken. It’s scary to have a baby with a medical problem, and we hope that Violet is completely recovered.

Jennifer Garner has admitted that she’s scared of filming the scene in Alias where her character gives birth:

Here’s a cute picture of Violet Anne Affleck, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s four month-old daughter. Violet was born on December 1, 2005.

A cute blurry picture of the baby came out a couple of weeks ago, but you can’t see her face.

She looks adorable although this picture isn’t too flattering!

Affleck is making headlines for his comments on “Real Time with Bill Mahar” that Bush should be “hung” for treason for leaking the name of CIA operative Valerie Plame:

Affleck is right, that is treason and Bush should be tried for it, not to mention the fact that he deliberately led the country into war on completely false pretenses.

Here’s Violet Affleck. Linked pictures are about the same quality as shown in the header image above.

This cute blurry pic of Jennifer Garner and her four month-old daughter, Violet, emerged today.

Garner has pledged to get nude for her upcoming thriller as we reported three days ago. She has said that she is losing her baby weight slowly with a healthy diet and exercise to prepare for the role.

Jennifer Garner is set to take it all off in a new erotic thriller. Her production company, Vandalia Films, is creating the picture, titled “Sabbatical,” which will have a missing person plot with a twist:

In these pictures taken of Garner shopping in Santa Monica yesterday, she looks like she has slimmed down in preparation to go back to work. She has said that she is losing weight slowly instead of going on a radical diet in order to make sure that she and her nursing baby Violet, almost four months, are healthy.

Update: Four additional pictures of Garner shopping in Brentwood without sunglasses. She looks great. More pictures after the jump.
