Everything Is A Fine in Their Marriage

trix — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 16:45:00 GMT

Jennifer Garner must really hate it when Ben leaves the toilet seat up, because she's instituted a fine for every time he forgets to shut the toilet.

Ben has agreed to pay $5.00 every time he forgets, I'm thinking he forgets a lot.

I really need to do that, I would be a rich woman. I have three boys in the house that I have to constantly remind to put the seat down.

Jennifer Garner Goes Solo

Jennifer Garner, you are looking good.

Jen stepped out for a little lunch date with the girls, the grown up kind. Boy, did she need it. We, the public needed to see her get all dolled up in a dress and heels.

She is one celebrity that I would like to meet, she seems so down to earth and real.

Which celebrity mom would you most like to meet?

Why So Sad Violet?

Violet Affleck had an off day or at least she had a off minute. She looks so pensive and sad, what could she possibly be thinking about so seriously?

I love taking pictures of my kids when they aren't looking, that's when you get the best pictures, not those fake little smiles through gritted teeth. Violet never seems to have that problem, all her smiles are genuine smiles of a very happy little girl.

Jennifer Garner is a Giver

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are setting the right example for Violet and baby #2. Ben participated in Operation Gratitude and Jennifer and Violet participated in a local gift drive.

Jennifer and Violet took wrapped gifts to the Jewish Federation Goldsmith Center.

Violet, as always, looked bright eyed and adorable going into the center. She also has Jennifer's profile.

In my humble opinion, it's always good to teach your kids the value of giving to others. They learn to share when they have siblings, eventually, but they also need to learn to give to those they don't know. It makes them better people.

The Un-Christmas Dinner at Madonna's House

Karen — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 14:09:00 GMT

Recent gossip surrounding Madonna and Christmas (whether she celebrates or whether she doesn't) had me confused until I realized she is crazy. Personally I could care less if her family celebrates Christmas, since it's something I'd love to quit but only because of the running around. I wish Santa was real so I could sit back and enjoy the holiday!

This story caught my attention and I heard a scream as I finished reading it: "No Wire Hangers!"

Yes, Madonna reminds me of a ghost of Christmas past -- Joan Crawford.

Oh I hope it's not like that in their house, but this tidbit from "a friend" had me concerned:

"They entertain beautifully, but it isn't what you would call conventional,'' a friend says.

"A housekeeper will set out a great big table covered in stuff, all macrobiotic, which no one dares eat unless Madonna tucks in.

"They're all terrified of her.''

Apparently Madonna never strays from her daily 2-3 hour workout. So there's speculation she'll fit that in as well. I guess if she doesn't have to cook a giant turkey and stuffing, she's got the time.

Maybe she's on to something, but it sounds miserable to me. Hurry up Lourdes and write a book.

Christmas Not Completely Cancelled At Madonna's Household

Sassy Smith — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 22:34:00 GMT

There is a Santa after all! There may not be any Christmas in the Madonna/Ritchie household, but there will be some gift giving going on!

Madonna's husband, Guy Ritchie told Extra, that he and Madonna have amended their tradtions with their children, Lourdes, 11, Rocco, 7, and David, 2 but that there is still room for a few presents. "The kids are only allowed three presents. So by the time they get to the third present they've had their sugar hit. As long as the kids get three presents at Christmas, everyone's being happy." I suppose if you're Madonna's kid, three presents could be quite awesome!

There have been reports that the family had converted to Judaism, which holds Kabbalah under it's religious unbrella, but Guy says, not so. "I don' think anyone's converted to Judaism in my family. I have no converted to Judaism and neither has my wife. Sheesh, dontcha just hate gossip?

Merry Christmas Madonna and family!
