Violet Affleck: You Can Stand Under My Umbrella

blah blah

They seem so lonely without Ben. I don’t get the impression that he’s really into Jen as much as they used to be when they first started dating. She seems loyal but in denial about him. He is into their kids however but I doubt he’ll stay with her in 5 years.

#4…I think you’re right…add the fact that I fully believe she’s pregnant again…she never seems happy anymore…Maybe it’s post pardom and being pregnant..
I feel for this family…they seem to be the most down to earth, or at leat try to be…in holly wood.

cute

It’s so sad that they follow her daughter to school. Jen should know she will be followed, but her daughter being followed at school and other places is disgusting. Kids should not be followed. Period.

I wouldent look happy if I was followed all around.

Since Jennifer is so selfish and she loves the paps she couldn’t care less about the parents of the school. She does the same s#it in the farmers market, people are shopping leisurely and the b#tch comes for photo ops to disturb the shoppers. She oughta go home and tend to her 18 million dollar home and stop “acting” or trying to come across like she is normal. You rarely see other movie stars in the mix with regular folks that’s because they tend to create a commotion. She needs to go away.

Violet is so adorable with her little umbrella. She is luckiest celeb kid and hopefully they will be able to put a stop to paps hanging out any preschool to get a money shot. There are lots of celebs begging to be photographed by the paps but obviously their pics don’t bring on the interest of celebs’ kids. Why can’t the paps focus on adult celebs and leave off harrassing kids at school. We should all protect our children (celeb or otherwise). Stop blaming the victim when a injustice occurs.

Her parents only take her to normal places that regular folks frequent and yet they are blamed for the madness of the paps. If they take pics at public places (preschool aside) I don’t think they would be such an outcry. Case in point, these photos featured here are intrusive and yet could be forgiven due to the fact that they shot on public street.

That bull sh!t about Jen looking lonely and bored is most likely due to the fact that she and her husband resent having their children stalked by the media and are being denied a normal unbringing when ever they venture out with them.

They look fine to me. She is trying to pick up her kid from school I don’t see anything wrong with that.

Oh POOOOOOOORRR jen garner and ben having paps around while they get paid multi-millions of dollars to live an elitist life while trying to act “normal”. You can like a celeb, but please don’t ever normalize them. Even reality tv stars get used to the fame after a few seasons. Jen Garner still craves fame like no other or else why would she have 5 movies coming up from her own production company starring HERSELF of course.

Jared, perhaps you should stop supporting the paps and posting pics of Violet/Jen/Ben at school everyday. You’re just condoning bad behaviour. Children should be off limits…

What a fool excpects a person to laugh when they are walking in the rain. She probably hates that as much as every other living soul. comon people. she is haunted by the papz all day, other parents are complaining about the papz, and if thats not enough she is walking in the rain! of course she is looking depressed. The haters here must be such a shallow persons, think outside the box people, think outside the box!

The paparazzi should be banned from schools. I don’t understand why the paparazzi need to take pictures of Violet Affleck at school, Jennifer Garner gives the paparazzi plenty of opportunities every day to get pictures of Violet.

I just love this family.

Celebrities have a love/hate relationship with the paparazzi. This is the only reason why I don’t usually feel sorry for people in that situation. You can’t have fame without exposure. They all know this going into it. I can understand why eventually you wish you could be normal again but that’s too bad. You can’t escape the limelight when you are famous– and you certainly don’t make your chances better by marrying/dating an even more famous person. Jennifer Garner seems like a nice lady. She doesn’t appear to be resenting the photographers. She spends a lot of time with her kid. That’s a good thing.

Miraculously, many celebrities are getting by JUST FINE without photographers. My advice to the Jennifer Garners of the hollywood scene is to maybe ask Anne Hathaway for tips. You rarely see that girl in the tabloids. You gotta slip under the radar. Many celebrities are able to do it.

i LOVEEE this family sooo much!!!
violet is very cute..
seraphina is very pretty little baby..
and down-to-earth jennifer garner is a pretty & beautiful woman…
love them all +++++

Love, love Jen Garner and Ben Affleck.

They are in a no win situation with posters, if they go out and try to be normal, they are pimping their kids, I guess those posters want them to build a compound and stick their children in it and never bring them out in public, then in a few years they can criticize them for that. Then if they do the opposite and send them to private schools they are criticized for living the “elite” lifestyle. They can’t win whatever they do.

I think they are doing the right thing - give me Jen any day going out with her adorable kids in jeans/sneakers verses Posh/Beckam going out with her kids in cleavage and 6 inch spikes - now that’s how most normal Moms run errands with their kids - NOT.

Love you Afflecks - keep doing what your doing.

Violet is use to the paps and just goes out with mommy and does not care about the cameras. She seems to be a happy little girl. The paps should stay a SAFE distance from them. I thought there were LAWS that prevented paps from taking photos at schools. CA needs to enforce these laws. If paps are endangering the children then the the cops should be at that school arresting them. Hopefully the complaints will get the laws enforced and the paps allow Violet and the other children the right to come and go from school without being photographed by the paps there.

That’s crazy, #13. Garner is a human being and an American so she’s entitled to the same rights and privileges as everyone else.

Right, #30 and #32.

Correct, #33. Same goes for TomKat.

#37

If does seem like TomKat does get the same thing. Tom was a little off the wall there for a bit. However, since marrying Katie he does seem to have settled also. I like hearing that he is out with his son, Conner. It would appear that he, Katie, Nicole, and Keith have tried real hard to get along for the kids.

I did have to disagree with Katie talking Suri to the AI show. Although seeing a few pictures from that night, it appears that Katie was rethinking that decision. But, as parents you make mistakes. Their mistakes to make also.

Why talk about Jen and Vi when Gwyneth Paltrow son Moses and
Meg Ryan’ daughter go to the same school and cause quite a
commotion too.. a lot of photographers…So don’t blame just Jen..

As for Ben he is working on a movie and will always be there when
she works on her 2 movies… they trade off on the kids one works
and the other takes care of the kids..” One of us will always be with
the kids.. But where is Sera..Like you people say BORING because
she is just walking up a sidewalk.. to the park.. to the school which
no one has even seen yet…or to her sisters place…

totally agree kelly, #42!! i mean..it comes with the territory!!!!!

yes, however, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Warren Beaty and Annette Benning don’t have young children anymore. With the children they do have they do walk red carpets with them. Will Smith and Jada Smith have put their children out there in that they do movies, take them to movie premieres and the like. Ben and Jen don’t. Not saying what the others do is wrong, just that Ben and Jen, as of yet, haven’t taken Violet to things like that.

Matt was hounded by paps on a recent trip to NY and looked none happy about it either.

Yup, Ben and Jennifer choose to be actors and marry. So if they get their picture taken, well, so be it. However, I have any issue when the paps were out Violets preschool everyday. Give those children a break. Then there are pictures of Violet out without either Ben or Jen. Sometimes with her Grandmas, or on occassion a nanny. Those pictures should not be taken, and shame on sites that post pictures of Violet without her parents.

Elle -is an obvious VARTAN HO!!!~! Can’t stand the fact that she dumped Vartan and is happy with BEN!!!!
KELLY: It DOESNT COME WITH THE TERRITORY. THe parents are famous the children ARE NOT! This only became a problem in the past couple of years with the tabs and blogs making Suri, Shiloh and Kingston and Violet “stars”. Its sick and people are just beginning to realise we should leave them alone. Jen doesnt want it, mom hos like Sabrina the teenage witch and ToriandDeen do.
Meg Ryan I have seen with Daisy on Just Jared too I believe - however there is just one famous one there - shamrock is right in that there is more interest when there are TWO famous parents - way more and Violet is beloved as the happiest little girl on the planet. Jennifer doesnt travel with bodyguards or security and tries to live a normal life

Paps get pics of Gwyneth Paltrow coming from that school also. They started the week after Violet left for Boston. Although Gwyn puts herself out there more, red carpet, fashion events, and so on.

Google Gwyn, about a month ago paps in trees spying on her child’s b-day party. Pics of her with her kids alot. However, if the sites, gossip things aren’t buying them, then they don’t get published.

I disagree. There are PLENTY of more famous celebs out there than Jen G. and we never see their kids b/c the know how to guard them for e.g. Julia Roberts (e.g. leave the kid at home with the nanny if you’re going to the store, especially since you know there’s going to be paps). Her publicist folks have tried to create this image of her being the “normal” mom and therefore she knows taking her daughter around everywhere KNOWING that the paps are there, will keep her in the news. She and Katie H. seem like they married big movie stars and both seem a bit like lonely housewives. Really. I would love to see them do something outside their husband’s shadows.

I think Katie Holmes has done a few things outside her husbands shadow. Last year she was in a very successful Broadway show she has the Exra Man movie coming out and now she is going to Australia to film Don’t be afraid of the Dark.

Who cares about Julia Roberts anymore? Maybe she’s more ‘famous’ than Jen G but people don’t care about her personal life or her kids (maybe because she married down to a camera operator). People can be more famous actors, but people care about JenG’s children and personal life more that’s why the sites pay big bucks for their pictures. Hey, if you werent interested in her personal life yourself Kelly, why did you click on to this post?

jennifer garner is a fat ugly pig and her daughter is a baby elephant. they belong at the zoo. GO AWAY YOU FREAKS!!!!!!!!!!! GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elle, I think you’ve been googling and reading way too much about Jennifer garner. Why don’t you get yourself a hobby that doesnt require you reading up on and obsessing about someone you purport to dislike? It would be so much healthier for your well being. Actually, I’m a fan so that is normal for me to do so, and what Kevin Smith said was that Ben got her pregnant on purpose to “seal the deal” before they wed. It was something he wanted all along (see Details Magazine November 2004 ~7 months BEFORE they wed he talked about wanting that as well as a family)

To #59 and #60 (although you’re obviously the same obsessed fan who’s written most of these posts):

Your “adorable” Jen Garner is a manipulative hypocritical b1tch.

Deal with it.

ROTFLMAO

Jennifer Garner dresses like a slob, and dresses her kid the same.

Jen is classy and has morals. She is a good actress. Who can say otherwise and why????

@cherry:

Cherry, you must not be from the US were the paps have been given a free ride because of “free speech” . I’m all for free speech but there are limits like pornography - they limit that when it has to do with taking pictures of minors, so they should forbid taking pictures of minors who are out in public without parents consent….

@Elle: I agree, there are so many celebrities that have young kids who go to school and you dont see their school photos everywhere, all the time……….Jennifer Garner, Brangelina, etc. are celebrities who seem to love the spotlight, but complain at the same time…….. I feel sorry for the kids like Violet being exposed in that way but really it’s the parents fault!!!!

Jennifer Garner is NOT an A list actress. She’s a B list actress with A list name recognition because she married Ben Affleck after the disaster that became Bennifer I. Jennifer uses her children to position herself in the magazines, otherwise why would she continue to expose the kids like she does? She’s been in the business long enough to know that celebrity kids are targets for the paps, yet she continues to run around with the kids as if she’s unaware of this fact. There are plenty of much better actress with children who keep their children’s lives much more protected and it just seems as if Jennifer is whoring her kids for publicity. Rarely do you see Paltrow’s kids, or Winslet’s kids. Jennifer Garner is not a “normal” person, she’s an actress and unfortunately your personal life becomes very public, it’s the price you pay, and every actor/actress knows it. She should be protecting her kids, not exposing them. I find it ironic that Jennifer is always smiling when being photographed with Violet or anybody else for that matter, but never when she’s with Ben.

@s.i:

You are taking what I’ve written out of content to serve your own purpose, dismissing most of what I’ve written, narrowing it down to a single point instead of looking at it as a whole. I’m not trying to “be mean”. I am stating what is clear. Jennifer Garner is not a “normal” person, she knows this, and as much as it may be unfair, even dangerous for paps to stalk and target celebrity kids, that is the way it is and she is very well aware of this. She should be protecting her kids from that as much as she can. Instead she parades them around doing “normal” things when she knows there will be camera’s following them everywhere. Her children are still very young. At that age kids aren’t complaining about staying home. You say people don’t care about Paltrow’s of Winslet’s Kids. Well, even J.Lo, whom I can’t stand, even manages to keep her kids out of the public view, and while I may not like her, there are many who do. MANY celebrity moms keep their children’s lives away from the camera’s for the most part. Jennifer Garner is NOT one of those moms.

Violet is the most adorable child ever!!
