Jennifer Garner & Jessica Biel Valentine's Day Gal Pals


Jennifer Garner and Jessica Biel became fast friends while filming their upcoming film, Valentine's Day. The duo reunited for a Marie Claire photo shoot to talk about love and family Hollywood style.

Some highlights:

Jennifer on daughter Violet discovering her mom is famous:
"I heard the sweetest story about Violet the other day. One of Violet's classmates came up to her and said, 'I heard Jennifer Garner lives in your house.' And Violet said, 'No, she doesn't.' The other kid kept insisting, so Violet came home and asked you, 'Mom, who is Jennifer Garner and why are people saying she lives with us?'"

Jennifer on the role that she relishes the most:
"[Violet] just knows me as Mom, so I did have to explain to her for the first time about the difference."

Jennifer on husband, Ben Affleck's, work ethic:
"I'm just holding down the fort while Ben works right now. I'm so impressed by his discipline. He gets up and works out every day at 4 a.m. before heading off to work. Every day. I used to do that sometimes for Alias. But not every day. And I'd do it for 30 minutes, maybe 45. He does it for an hour-and-a-half. He comes home and collapses, and then rewrites scenes for the next day, then crashes and does it all over again. He's worn out."



Jessica on dating somebody who is famous:
"It does help to have a partner who understands what fame is about and can share that with you. It's a hurdle you don't have to get over."

Jennifer on keeping things real:
"I think I have it all in perspective," says Jen. "If you're healthy and happy and you have a roof over your head, then that's what's important."

Pick up the new issue of Marie Claire for the who interview and photo shoot.

    Camila Alves Excited to Have a Girl!

    Shear Genius host Camila Alves and beau Matthew McConaughey welcomed their second child, daughter Vida only four weeks ago and the new mom is delighted to have another girl in the family.

    "I'm very excited to have a girl," Alves says. "I'm happy and it's a big blessing. Vida's definitely a beautiful and peaceful girl. We are so lucky!”

    The Brazilian-born model and the new host of Bravo's hairstyling series Shear Genius is ready to share her own fashion secrets with her daughter.

    "I'm going to have so much fun with her hair. I've been dealing with my own hair forever so I have a lot to share with her. It's going to be long talks.”

    So far, Vida’s 18-month-old brother Levi is keeping his curly locks with no plans for a haircut in the near future.

    "We have not cut his hair yet. He's too cute. He's a little boy and I don't want to touch it. It's still pure and perfect! We're going to have so much time to style it and cut it," she says. "At this stage in his life, I'm leaving it as pure as possible."

    Kevin Federline's Weight Loss Inspiration

    Kevin Federline was inspired to lose weight after seeing some recent pictures of himself after ballooning up to 240 lbs.

    "I looked pregnant," he tells Entertainment Tonight. "It was upsetting. It's [usually] easy for me to brush stuff off of my shoulder. [But] when I see a pictures [of me] like that, and people are calling me 'K- Fat,' I had to do something about it."

    The former dancer credits his lack of exercise and poor diet decisions for his weight gain.

    "I loved to eat pizza and pasta," Federline, 31, says, "so between not working out, and turning 30 years old, [the weight] started coming on real fast. I had my own mother telling me she’s worried about my health."

    Another factor in his decision to shape up was the impact his weight was having on his relationship with sons Preston, 4, and Jayden, 3.

    "I couldn't run around with my children as much," he says, "and was being lazy and over-eating. I've always been a fit guy, so those were wake-up calls for me."

    "I still ran around with them a little bit but not as much as I do now," Federline adds. "It was easier to eat more when they were younger because they weren't as active. Now all of them want to play sports, hit the T-ball and run around the backyard and ride bikes. I could barely make it up the hill on the side of my house."

    To help him shed the pounds, Federline signed up for VH1's Celebrity Fit Club 7: Boot Camp. Joining him on his weight loss journey is his ex-girlfriend. Shar Jackson.

    Check out the duo shaping up on VH1 starting on February 8.

    Kourtney Kardashian: In No Hurry to Lose the Baby Weight



    New mom Kourtney Kardashian is going against the Hollywood trend and opting not to rush into a weight lose program following the arrival of her 7-week-old son, Mason Dash.

    “It’s been hard to find time to work out,” she tells Life & Style. “All I want to do is spend time with Mason.”

    The reality star admits that she has about 40 pregnancy pounds to shed, but has found it challenging. “Losing the weight has been a lot harder than I thought,” she says. “I’ve lost 25 pounds so far. I still have 15 more to go.”

    Kardashian decided to open up about her decision not to rush the weight loss process after a tabloid published a heavily photoshopped photo that made it it appear that she had already returned to her pre-pregnancy figure.

    For her post-pregnancy body, Kourtney is trying to keep a realistic perspective. “Since having him, I don’t care as much what I look like,” Kourtney says. “I gained weight in my booty, my stomach, my thighs and my arms. Everything got a little bigger for sure. I do want to get back to the way my body was before, but it’s definitely not my biggest concern. I feel fine.”

    Gisele Bundchen Talks Childbirth and Picking a Name

    Gisele Bündchen may be a supermodel and married to one of the top quarterbacks in football. Now this new mom opens up about the birth of her son Benjamin who arrived in early December.

    "[It] wasn't painful, not even a little bit," the supermodel says in an interview with the Brazilian TV show Fantastico. "The whole time, my head was so focused – every contraction, the baby is closer, the baby is closer. So, it wasn't like, 'Oh, what pain.' It was, 'With every contraction, he is getting closer to me.' "

    Bündchen opted not to use any serious pain medication during the water birth. "I wanted to be conscious and present for what was happening," she says. "I didn't want to be anesthetized. I wanted to feel."

    Childbirth hasn't put a crimp in her activities and she admits to having a quick recovery. She adds, "The second day, I was walking, I was washing dishes, I was making pancakes in the kitchen."

    The biggest issue for Bundchen and husband Tom Brady was choosing a name. The couple spent more than a week after the birth trying to pick a name that would work well in both English and Portuguese.

    "God knows that I wish I was raised bilingual. But it wasn't to be."

    On the hurt she felt after the revelation at age 18 that she did not speak Spanish:
    "I tried to explain to [journalists] that in this country I'm considered Latina and, thus, I consider myself Latina as well. I identify with Mexicans. It's in my blood whether or not I speak Spanish."

    On the one thing she would like to change about herself:
    "[The ability to] turn my brain off every once in a while. I'm too analytical."
