Jennifer Garner has joked she could end up calling her baby Daisy Duck if her daughters get their way. The actress is expecting her third child with husband Ben Affleck and said that their girls, Violet, five, and Seraphina, two, have come forward with some unusual name suggestions.
‘They don’t really care about the gender as long as we name it what they want it to be named,” she said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.And the frontrunners include Ralphie, Frankie, Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck, or Rosemarie. ‘Daisy Duck Affleck,” she said with a laugh. ‘I can see us going that way.’ And she insisted that although neither she nor Affleck have a preference about the sex, there are plus sides to both.

 Jennifer Garner announced that she was pregnant with her third child just weeks before hitting the film-festival circuit with her new comedy, “Butter.”

Any of the bleary-eyed celebs wandering Toronto can attest to the grind of a film festival, from the red carpets to day-long press junkets to glad-handing at parties all night — but handling it while dealing with the typical discomforts of pregnancy would seem even tougher.

Yet Garner says she’s taking it in stride.

“Luckily, I’m just at that … window when you’re pregnant — the magic second trimester — where you feel you’re done being nauseous,” the personable star said in an interview Wednesday, clad in a black dress with a vibrant red cardigan.

“Right now, I forget that it’s there except that I can’t have wine at the end of the night.”

Still, Garner admits that there have been some queasy moments.

“We were at a screening in the first trimester, when I was quite green,” recalled Garner, who has been married to Oscar-winning actor Ben Affleck since 2005.

“And we were sitting in this restaurant beforehand. We needed to have these conversations, but the smells of the restaurant — I was really like, wooo,” she added, opening her eyes wide and sucking in air sharply.

“I had this lollipop at the time. I had a purse full of lollipops. People were like: ‘Do you want dinner? You’re just going to have a lollipop?’ I was like, ‘Nope, just lollipops.’ I was like having one after the other after the other. So that was difficult.”

On Wednesday, Garner was still basking in the glow of the “Butter” premiere. She produces and stars in the satirical comedy about the cut-throat world of competitive butter-carving in small-town Iowa.

The film — which co-stars Olivia Wilde, Ashley Greene, Alicia Silverstone, Hugh Jackman and Ty Burrell — has subtle political undertones that were brought to the forefront after an incident at Tuesday night’s premiere, where Wilde read a message from the absent Harvey Weinstein, whose company is handling the film.

In the note, Weinstein invited Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann to the Iowa premiere of the film, while adding that the two could take math classes together to help balance the budget and play some “verbal ping-pong” on gay rights and women’s rights.

The invitation was the top story on Variety’s website on Wednesday, and Garner could only tip her hat to Weinstein.

“I certainly wouldn’t sell it as a political movie although Harvey is certainly much more savvy than I, and a genius at selling a film,” she said. “So I was just looking actually at this headline in Variety that Bachmann’s been invited to the premiere.

“It’s like, Harvey, you are amazing. He just is so good at what he’s good at. So I just have to hand it to him and stay out of the way.”

Jennifer Garner shows off her growing baby bump as she arrives at the 2011 Pink Party held at Drai’s Hollywood to benefit Cedars-Sinai Women’s Cancer Program on Saturday (September 10) in Hollywood.

This is great! Congrats to Jen and Ben!!

Jennifer Garner smiles at the crowd at Disney’s D23 Expo held at the Anaheim Convention Center on Saturday (August 20) in Anaheim, Calif. The 39-year-old actress attended the expo to promote her film The Odd Life of Timothy Green.

At the expo, Jennifer talked to the audience about her decision to do the film.

“I just fell for the story. I loved the magical element to it,” Jen said.

The Odd Life of Timothy Green centers around a married couple (Garner and Joel Edgerton) who discover they cannot have biological children. The film is set to be released in August, 2012.

Check out the trailer for Jennifer Garner’s upcoming film, The Odd Life of Timothy Green!

The fantasy flick centers around Cindy (Garner) and her husband Jim Green (Joel Edgerton), a childless couple desperate to have a baby.

After many failed attempts of natural conception, they imagine what kind of child they would like to have and bury all those wishes in a box in their backyard. Soon a mysterious child is born, though Timothy Green is not all that he appears.

How does Jennifer Garner have the energy to carry her adorable daughter Seraphina? The answer is obvious: coffee! The stunning actress and mommy was spotted showing off her strength by lifting her toddler after grabbing some much-needed caffeine at a local coffee shop near her home in Los Angeles, California.

Jen, 39, was all smiles as she carried Seraphina, 2. Jennifer looked LA cool in a baseball cap, sunglasses and a navy blue Stylemint t-shirt while Seraphina looked like the perfect picture of cute in a floral dress. Who wouldn’t be smiling if they were looking at that kid?

Jen’s oldest daughter, Violet Affleck, was not present for the coffee run but she was in a smiley mood when she was spotted hanging out with mom, sis and dad Ben Affleck earlier this week! Check out the family fun photos at the source.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s marriage is on the brink after Star ripped the lid off Ben’s shocking hidden gambling life and involvement in an underground poker ring. Friends say Jennifer is reeling from the news that her husband of six years has not been honest with her and reverted to his dangerous habits of boozing and gambling millions of dollars behind her back. As Star first revealed in a world-exclusive article, for years Ben has been secretly gambling a fortune in high-stakes poker games that included A-list stars like Tobey Maguire, Matt Damon, and Leonardo DiCaprio.

“Ben’s telling friends that Jen is ‘busting his b*lls’ about the scandal,” the source reveals, adding that Ben, 38, routinely lost tens of thousands of dollars in a single night. After Ben’s rehab stint in 2001, Jennifer is terrified that his history of gambling, drinking, and womanizing is catching up with him. “Jen had no idea that he was playing poker and drinking again, let alone that he was a key figure in a secret gambling society that playing up to twice a week,” one of the game’s players says.

When he and Jennifer married in 2005, Ben promised his love that he was sober and had given up gambling — but that clearly hasn’t happened.

“Ben has a really compulsive personality and can’t help himself,” says the source. “If you lose close to $500,00, that’s a problem — no matter how rich you are.”

It’s also a problem that could threaten his marriage. “Once Ben starts gambling, he can’t stop,” the insider says. “If things get worse, Jen could be a single mom.” The source ads: “This had created big problems in Ben’s life, and he is beyond worried.”
