Jennifer Garner is heading home this weekend (18-19Jun11) to host a fundraiser for a musical theatre society in her native Charleston, West Virginia.

The Hollywood actress, who grew up in Charleston but now lives in California with her husband Ben Affleck and their children, used to perform with the Charleston Light Opera Guild in her youth.

Garner is now hosting a charity gala in aid of the organisation at the Charleston Civic Center on Saturday night (18Jun11). After a red carpet event, she will introduce a performance of popular musical Thoroughly Modern Millie before hosting a reception afterwards to raise funds for the group.

As announces, Jennifer attended the 10th Annual Chrysalis Butterfly Bal yesterday. She looked really stunning! Chrysalis is a nonprofit organization “dedicated to creating a pathway to self-sufficiency for homeless and low-income individuals by providing the resources and support needed to find and retain employment.” The event honored various activists, including Olivia Wilde and producer Scott Stuber.

 Wanna know why we love Jennifer Garner?

Jennifer Garner drops by Fox Studios to make an appearance on Fox & Friends on Thursday (June 9) in New York City.

The 39-year-old actress chatted about her current efforts to give a voice to American children who grow up in poverty and to advocate for their well-being and education.

It’s officially summer in Washington when bright-eyed interns start outnumbering reporters at press conferences on the Hill.

That was the case on Wednesday when actress and Capitol Hill regular Jennifer Garner joined Sen. Bob Casey, Sen. Barbara Mikulski and Save the Children’s Mark Shriver to talk about early childhood education and child care.

A conservatively dressed Garner peered at the barely old enough to drink crowd from behind the podium and said, “You guys look…young.” Garner declared that the reason the young’uns were “bright, successful, clean, pretty-looking people,” was because of their early education opportunities.

And just in case the camera-toting college crowd had trouble thinking about Garner as anything but a product of Tinseltown, Shriver reminded them that the actress is actually “a daughter of West Virginia” and “understands the problem of rural poverty very well.”

Jennifer Garner has been seen recently with a rounded stomach and wearing baggy clothes causing a furore of reports that she was expecting her third child. But the Alias star has denied the pregnancy rumours and says she is not having a baby.
‘The speculation is false, she is not pregnant,’ Garner’s representative said.

The denial given to E! News puts paid to gossip that five-year-old Violet and two-year-old Seraphina were going to become big sisters any time soon.
Garner was seen leaving a book store with Violet last week with a noticeably fuller figure.
The usually svelte star wore jeans with a baby blue sweater and held her delightful daughter’s hand as she skipped along.

She was also seen last Wednesday going to a business meeting in a fitted black dress that showed a more rounded stomach, which continued to set the rumour mill alight.

Actress Jennifer Garner will host a June 18 benefit for the Charleston Light Opera Guild. Garner took part in Guild productions when she was growing up in Charleston.  She will attend the June 18 performance of the Guild’s show “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” which will run during the city’s arts extravaganza, FestivALL. She also will appear at a gala reception at the Charleston Civic Center after the show.

Guild Director Nina Pasinetti said Garner volunteered to host a benefit for the Guild. Pasinetti was once Garner’s dance instructor and cast the actress in roles for several Guild musicals, including “Annie Get Your Gun” and “The Music Man.”

Mayor Danny Jones also performed in those productions. “I tell anyone who will listen to me that I was in two shows with Jennifer Garner,” he said during a news conference Thursday.

Those who attend the benefit performance will walk a red carpet into the Civic Center Little Theater. Tickets are $200 for the show, the after party and a photograph taken with Garner. For just the show and after party, tickets are $120.

Tickets go on sale June 1 at the Civic Center Little Theater Box Office. Hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. FestivALL begins June 17 and continues through June 26 throughout Charleston. Performances of “Thoroughly Modern Millie” are June 17-19 and 24-26.
