Cele|bitchy | Jennifer Garner to take time off after Alias wraps

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:

The sexy new mom will reveal to Extra that the scene where she gives birth on the TV show was “the single most embarrassing thing I’ve ever done on the show. Guys this is not what it was like for me” – she tells the crew – “turn your heads.”

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

Virginia Rohan reports that the Emmy-winning spy drama returns to ABC’s lineup this week with a two-hour “event” that includes the birth of her agent Sydney Bristow’s baby and the reappearance of the presumed-dead Michael Vaughn (Michael Vartan).

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.
