OlderJennifer Garner Brings Save the Children to CBS
Jennifer Garner is all smiles as she makes an appearance on CBS’ Early Show on Friday (April 30) in New York City.
The 38-year-old actress stopped by to speak about Save the Children – she serves as the artist ambassador for the organization!
“Kids in poverty, by the time they’re four years old, they are 18 months behind, developmentally, where your children will be. And that is just — how do you ever come back from that? It’s so unfair,” Jen said (via CBS). “Ninety percent of your brain growth happens by the time you’re six. So, Save the Children gets in there early, gets in there strong. We are a literacy program, but we also teach kids just fundamentally how to make healthy choices.”
FYI: Jen is teaming up with Frigidaire and Save the Children to promote smart snacking and healthy lifestyles for kids – check out more details at MakeTimeForChange.com!

Great Cause.
The quotes of Ms. Garner show that SHE is in need of a” literacy program”.
What type of babble is this gibberrish? ”
“And that is just — how do you ever come back from that? ”
From what, Jennifer? From where?
” So, Save the Children gets in there early, gets in there strong.”
Sentences don’t begin with “so”.
Gets WHAT there early?
SAVE US ALL from Idiot actresses who can’t SPEAK English.

Agree.
Someone needs to write index cards for this bimbo.
She’s one of those women who get prettier with age.
Go Jen! She’s so talented and a great humanitarian!!
Whether or not this program is beneficial for children depends on its type: balanced literacy, whole language, etc. Hopefully, this is a balance literacy program (I’ll have to look it up). Garner is one of the few celebs I wouldn’t mind helping out the education world, but she’s still untrained and uncertified. She has a good concept and purpose; I’d just really appriciate it if she studied and supported programs that are researched based and proven effective.
This is the first time I’ve thought she is pretty. Makeup is great, and her outfit is very classy. I am a bit shocked though by how thin she is. I don’t think she looks sickly, but she is definitely tiny.
I don’t think I have ever seen her look so good! Amazing what just a little make up does for her face.
She looks really pretty in the pix
@D-9: First time I have ever thought she used botox.
She’is beautiful…
She looks really pretty and she usually comes across as really sweet on talk shows. However, when she tries to talk about anything substantive, she comes across as very naive and inarticulate. I don’t think she is dumb, but she seems to have a very average brain and is sort of a weak messenger in that sense.
Affleck definitely married down in the intellect department; he is always very articulate and has a great politically informed mind. She mentioned in a recent interview how she grew up not caring about politics or stuff like that and now her husband is teaching her all about politics, world affairs and the middle east. Well, that’s good… she should also rehearse some of her views on education with him before she goes on talk shows.
I noticed that she was interviewed by maggie rodriguez… that’s interesting because you know that if this was Affleck, Angelina Jolie, or George Clooney, it would be a more high profile reporter who would be interviewing them.
Love the outfit, btw. And this should put those pregnancy rumors to rest.
This is suppose to be Ben’s job.. he has a foundation called
Children of a mended heart to help children in the USA..
And a foundation with a billionaire in Africa too…Ben is known
for his foundation work that he does.. so I am wondering if
this is the tale end of her Book reading that she did for American
Idol gives back..??? Because notice how she does not relate to
the audience at all just smiles at them..when she is being interviewed
she does not talk about what she does for them..
I love those pants.
She is really pretty, I love these pics! The time off she had made her prettier. thanks god she is not stalked by paps like before. Jen is a really caring humanitarian. And very sweet and smart. Jia You!!!
I appreciate Jennifer efforts in promoting Save the Children. She is a very kind person with good principles. I think she is educated enough to convey her message in a simple, yet clear way, Keep the good work Jen. Bravo! to you.
@Anna:
you are clearly a jealous person. Jen is as smart as they come and very good nature. Ben won the lottery when he married this princess, after having dated the imbecil high strung paltrow, and the conceided materialistic, ignorant tacky Jlo.
And so you know Jen chose her interviewer Maggie Rodriguez, she could have chosen anyone.
Do you believe that Jlo had the nerve to bring up Ben …Please and
say that she still loves him.. Bad enough you type in Ben’s name
and all you get is Jlo the ho..
She has the greatest smile….wish I had her smile.
@Joe: Smart as they come? Are you ok?
Was there any need to point that out, #19? She’s doing something good for the world and not everyone is politically savvy.
Right, #15.
she looks so pretty here, love the outfit. Hopes she keeps it up.
elle est magnifique !!
@Joe: Learn how to spell. Jen is a sweet, grounded, and competent person. I think Affleck married her because she is nurturing and she has a great sense of humor like him and they seem to have genuine affection for each other. Your comment, however, is laughable. Jen is just not Affleck’s intellectual equal and she herself seems to know and often admits this; she is never going to be able to invoke greek mythology on the Today show while talking about baseball – that’s just something unique (among public figures, especially) about Affleck. You mention that she could have married anyone. Hypothetically, anyone can marry anyone. She herself confessed in 2006 that she could never have imagined that one day she would marry ben affleck – that displays a sense of awe and respect.
I have to say, as much as I couldn’t care less about Gwyneth Paltrow, she was probably the smartest woman Affleck dated – I don’t think she was his equal either but she has always been more articulate about a variety of topics than Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner. J Lo. no doubt is the least intelligent of all three – when she was on letterman, she displayed that she didn’t even know the meaning of the word “infraction”. It was embarrassing.
The smartest female, quite apparently, in Affleck’s life is his mom – harvard educated, college activist, who volunteered as a Freedom rider in Mississippi in the 60s. Good genes.
Jennifer Garner is not only beautiful but very educated as well. She has a college degree (btw, her husband does not) and is very well informed in matters that are important to her causes and etc.
Before she became such a public whipping post, she never had problems during interviews. Every word that she utters is either misconstrued by the press( for their own gain to put a spin on some *BS* fabricated story) and/or dissected by all the haters (Vartan fans), simply because they have this hate campaign going on against her and Ben.
Recognize the good that she is trying to do and stop being so evil and narrow minded when it comes to her. She is a lovely lady and like somebody said Ben is fortunate their paths crossed and he couldn’t have chosen a better person to marry and raise a family with.
@Anna:
As a Jen’s fan, I got to learn about Ben. While kinda annoying by what you post, I agree with most of your opinion, LOL. Politics is something Jen isn’t familiar with. She improves a lot, though still not perfect, in the past years. No doubt Ben helps and teaches her.
You pointing out that Chris is smartest just makes me laugh. I never thought about before. Thank you.
Bless the whole Affleck family!
