Ok. Since majority of you I am sure are wondering what’s been happening in regards to the site being behind on updates, I will explain! So, it is not like I am trying to purposely make the site behind. You have no idea how much I hate making sites behind. I hate catching up on updates. So, the main reason why this site has been behind (it’s not my only site that is behind. Pretty much all my other sites I run are in the same situation) involves my laptop dying earlier last month. Everything on this old laptop was pretty much filled with site stuff. I did not want a repeat of this and have my new laptop die even faster because of all the sites I run. I have been limiting my time on the laptop and pretty much focusing more time on my real life. Sites are great and all but I need to have more of a real life!
In terms of my new laptop, I don’t have everything installed on here. To be honest, I can’t quite remember everything I had on the old one that was necessary for me to have. Some of you may think this is just a bunch of excuses but honestly, it is not. If you follow me on my personal twitter, you may have noticed I have either been cutting down on sites or pretty much non existent in terms of actual site updates on all my sites. Personally, I wanted to catch up on updates on Jen a lot sooner but ever since Jen did that interview where she mentions about paps and the hate for them following her around, it ended up killing my mood of catching up on candids.
I am still trying to think of a better system of storing all new images I gather for my sites this year because of my new laptop. This is the main reason why I have been constantly behind. You know what they say once you are behind, you will just keep on being behind and I hate being behind. So, I hope to be a better webmaster soon and figure this out ASAP. Honestly, I have been trying to make this site paps free a long time ago but I know you guys love candids which was why I kept updating the gallery on them. So, it was also another thing to think about in terms of updates since my laptop died. If anyone wants to chime in below, feel free to do so. I hope you all don’t hate me for making the site behind. I still need to catch the gallery up since the server crash that happened a couple years ago which made the gallery lose all the pics. Thank goodness it’s just screencaps that are still missing but there is a tons of screencaps since they were majority all Alias ones. Just a list of things I still need to do on the site.

Jen is set to star in a movie adaptation of the children’s book, Alexander And The No Good, Very Bad Day with Steve Carell. YAY! I am excited to see Jen having more projects lined up!
Disney is in talks with Jennifer Garner to star with Steve Carell in the Miguel Arteta-directed live-action adaptation of the Judith Viorst children’s book Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Lisa Cholodenko wrote the script with Rob Lieber, and Disney has Steve Carell attached to play Alexander’s dad. Garner will play his mother. Shawn Levy is producing through his 21 Laps banner along with Lisa Henson and Dan Levine. Production will begin in the fall. Alexander is the key character, and he starts a wretched day with the realization that the gum he fell asleep chewing is now hopelessly tangled in his hair. Things get worse from there, to the point he threatens to chuck it all and move to Australia.
Garner stars in Dallas Buyers Club, the film that just got acquired by Focus Features, and she’s set to star in Draft Day, the Ivan Reitman-directed gridiron backroom drama that stars Kevin Costner. She is repped by WME, Management 360 and attorney Jason Sloane.

Matt and Luciana renewed their wedding vows and Ben and Jen attended!
Who’s kissing Matt Damon? Luciana Barrosso, his wife of nearly eight years! The Hollywood couple said “I do” all over again Saturday, April 13 in a romantic vow renewal ceremony on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, Us Weekly can confirm. The Promised Land star, 42, rented out St. Lucia’s entire Sugar Beach Resort — at a hefty six-figure price — for the weekend in honor of the happy occasion, with around 50 guests, including Damon’s BFF Ben Affleck and wife Jennifer Garner.
An eyewitness tells Us that Damon and the bride exchanged vows under thatched roofs right at sunset — with the groom wearing a tan-colored suit and flip-flops, and the bride, 36, donning a cream-colored gown featuring a sequined belt at the waist. The couple’s daughters — Isabella, 6, Gia, 4, Stella, 2, and Alexia, Luciana’s daughter from a previous marriage — wore light-colored dresses to match their mom. After the 15-minute ceremony, guests (all of them wearing shades of cream and ivory) were escorted onto the beach for a cocktail reception (completely with Tiki torches).
“This isn’t a ‘Hollywood’ wedding,” one insider tells Us. “Matt wanted it to be fun, happy and private. He felt like Luciana deserves this, first and foremost.”
Explains another source of the locale: “This is the perfect place for this wedding. You can [go] here for serenity.”
The actor, director and Oscar-winning screenwriter first wed the Argentina-born former bartender in a private civil ceremony in December 2005.
“They’ve wanted to do it for a long time,” another pal says of the vow renewal. “They had a tiny ceremony the first time, and wanted to celebrate with family and friends.”
The Good Will Hunting actor has always been slightly more low-key in his personal life than his famous friends — and he likes it that way. “The narrative about me kind of goes, ‘He’s a boring married guy,’ which is great, because I don’t get any of that other stuff like Brad Pitt and George Clooney do,” Damon told Playboy late last year. “People think I’m kind of vanilla and they leave me alone to work, have an actual private life and be a husband and dad.”
Outnumbered 4 to 1 at home, Damon added that he doesn’t mind being the only man in the house. “Lucy and the girls can definitely bring me to my knees.”
Although the vow renewal bash suggests otherwise, Damon claimed at the time that he was “sh–ty” with romantic gestures. “I wish I were better because my wife deserves somebody who surprises her with a gift or flowers or some wonderful idea . . . .I’ve never been good at that, and she’s really good at it, which makes me feel even more like sh-t.”

ennifer Garner is on tenterhooks. She is sure she can hear rustling in the bushes around where we are sitting in the back garden of a house overlooking the Malibu coastline.
She stops talking mid-sentence and sits alert, like a startled animal ready to flee.
‘I thought I heard a paparazzi lens,’ she says, eyes scanning the thick shrubbery around the house (it’s rented for the photo-shoot).
Garner, 40, who stars in the new film The Odd Life of Timothy Green – a fantasy drama about a couple who long for a child and suddenly find themselves the parents of a magical boy – shrugs and starts talking again.
‘Usually I’d see the light on the lens so maybe it’s just the leaves.’ But she remains uneasy. ‘I could swear there is someone there.’
Since marrying the actor and director Ben Affleck nearly eight years ago, Garner has become one of the most photographed celebrities in America.
Although already known for her award-winning performance in the thriller drama series Alias, as well as films such as Pearl Harbor (2001) and Catch Me If You Can (2002), her union with Affleck – with whom she starred in Daredevil (2003) – took her into a whole new stratosphere of celebrity.
Pictures are published daily of her most mundane activities: taking her children to school, going to the gym, buying groceries.
‘Seven cars followed me when I left home at seven o’clock this morning,’ she says, referring to the paparazzi. ‘I wish I could say that it doesn’t bother me. But you wouldn’t like it if you had it, and neither would anyone else. They sit outside my house every day. They wait for me at school drop-off and pick-up.’
We meet the week after the Oscars, in the wake of Affleck’s emotional speech as he accepted the Best Movie award for Argo, paying tribute to his wife (who was previously married to the actor Scott Foley):
‘I want to thank you for working on our marriage for 10 Christmases. It’s good. It is work but the best kind of work and there’s no one I’d rather work with.’
Some people interpreted the speech as indicating there was trouble in their marriage. ‘I know,’ says Garner, amazed. ‘I had a friend call and say, “Are you OK?”

Jennifer Garner is making it very clear that her marriage to Ben Affleck is perfectly fine.
Some questioned whether the Hollywood couple were having some rocky times because of Affleck’s acceptance speech at the Oscars, where he stated, “I want to thank you for working on our marriage for 10 Christmases. It’s good. It is work, but the best kind of work and there’s no one I’d rather work with.”
But Jen wasn’t worried, even if her loved ones were. “I know,’” Garner told The Telegraph about people interpreting Ben’s speech a certain way. “I had a friend call and say, ‘Are you OK?’”
“I know Ben, I knew he meant it as the hugest, warmest compliment in the world,” she continued. “I think he was saying, ‘Look, what we have is really real and I value it above all and I’m in it with you and I know you are in it with me.’ That’s the way I took it.”
The actress and mother of three added, “Poor guy. It’s so horrible to put yourself out there. He didn’t have to worry about it from my point of view.”
And really, her point of view is the only one that matters.

Forget velvet-roped nightclubs in Hollywood — the newest celeb hotspot for stars including Jennifer Garner and Brooke Burke-Charvet is the carpool lane. The Odd Life of Timothy Green actress, 40, and the Dancing With the Stars co-host, 41, are part of the same Malibu moms carpool, Burke-Charvet tells Us Weekly exclusively.
Asked which of her fellow famous moms she’d let babysit her four children — son Shaya, 4, and daughters Neriah, 12, Sierra, 10, and Rain, 5 — the television personality named just two women: Cindy Crawford, mom to Presley, 13, and Kaia, 11; and Garner, mom to Violet, 7, Seraphina, 4, and Samuel, 12 months. “[Jennifer] is very normal,” Burke-Charvet told Us of the A-lister. “And she and I carpool together — so I trust her! Moms I know, I trust. And that’s about it!”
Garner, too, has mentioned the apparently star-studded carpool before. Last year, accepting the award for Female Star of the Year at CinemaCon, she joked: “[My mom] said, ‘Can they take this back? Because every time I talk to you, you are breastfeeding, you are running carpool, you are on the library committee — you are not acting!’”
She also said that husband Ben Affleck had taken a few turns behind the wheel. Addressing the Argo director in her speech, she thanked him for “taking over drop-offs and pick-ups and bedtime so I could make it.”
Burke-Charvet (married to Baywatch alum David Charvet) has had to get a few of her own shifts covered recently, too. In December, she underwent surgery for thyroid cancer and was confined to bed for a few weeks. “I had to give up my carpool and driving duties, which is huge,” she tells Us. “Everybody took over.”
“I didn’t have to cook for a while, I didn’t have to clean – it was different but it was necessary for a while for me to just sit around and watch movies and read books and relax a little bit,” she explains. “I don’t get to do that too often!”
Fortunately, the Modern Mom blogger is cancer-free now. “I’m actually doing great,” she tells Us. “I’m back to normal, I’m working out, exercising…Honestly the worst part is over and I’m healing beautifully. Life is good.”

Jennifer is in talks to star in Draft Day with Kevin Costner.
The NFL draft may still be a couple weeks away but the Kevin Costner sports dramedy “Draft Day” which is set around the event is beginning to fill its ensemble team, as Jennifer Garner is in negotiations to co-star with Costner.
Ivan Reitman is on board to direct with Summit on board to distribute.
The story follows the manager of an American football franchise who struggles to acquire the number one draft pick for his team on the day of the draft. Garner will play Costner’s secretary in the pic.
Reitman will produce along with Ali Bell and Tom Pollock through his Montecito Motion Picture Company banner from a script by Scott Rothman and Rajiv Joseph. The film looked to be on its last legs last fall when Paramount had to put the film into turnaround after its option on the project ran out.
The film was given a second chance after the Black List was released with “Draft Day” topping the list. Shortly after the Black List news, both Summit and Costner became intrigued and began negotiating to come onto the project.
Garner was most recently seen in Disney’s “The Odd Life of Timothy Green” and can be seen next in “Dallas Buyers Club” with Matthew McConaughey. She is repped by WME, Management 360 and Offer Weber & Dern.
