Jennifer Garner is carrying only in belly which means she will probably give Violet a baby brother, but that theory has been proven false before.
BTW doesn't look like Jen is planning to give birth any time soon because why would her husband Ben Affleck leave her so close to her due date and go to Congo if the birth was imminent?

Ben Affleck in eastern Congo, 11/19/08
Ben Affleck has already chronicled the dire conditions in the war-torn African Congo region with a documentary and an appearance on Nightline. He’s made three treks to the Republic of Congo, hoping to raise awareness of the ongoing atrocities brought on by civil war, including violence against women and children. One of the most prevalent forms of violence there is rape - in fact, 2 out of 3 women in the Congo are rape victims. Most of these women never seek medical help or report their rapists. Now, Ben is returning to the region, hoping to raise more awareness and to urge people to donate money or resources to humanitarian organizations servicing the Congo.
“I’m not an expert in international affairs or diplomacy, but it doesn’t take that to see the tremendous suffering here,” he told The Associated Press on Thursday in Goma, the regional capital. “It’s not something that we as human beings can, in good conscience, ignore.”
Years of sporadic violence in eastern Congo intensified in August, when fighting heated up between the army and fighters loyal to rebel leader Laurent Nkunda.
Some fear the current crisis could once again draw in neighboring countries. Congo’s devastating 1998-2002 war split the vast nation into rival fiefdoms and involved half a dozen African armies.
“I’m really glad that more people are paying more attention to (Congo) now but I’m really saddened that it’s taken this uptick in violence to make that happen,” Affleck said.
“The primary reason I am here is to urge people to give money to the NGOs and charities doing hard work in eastern Congo on meager funds,” he said. “And if people out there have an existing relationship with a charity, to urge that charity to get involved in eastern Congo. To let people know, ‘Don’t just read the horror stories in the newspapers and turn off.’”
Affleck said he first became interested in Congo a few years ago, when Hollywood’s attentions began to focus another African crisis, Darfur. After doing more research on Africa, he was shocked to learn about Congo’s four-year war, during which an estimated 5 million people died.
“I thought a lot of people are advocating on Darfur. I’d just be a very small log on a big fire. I started getting interested in Congo and I thought, this is a place where I can have a really big impact,” he said.
My daughter’s best friend, who is 13, and her family had to return to the Congo last year to help ailing family members. they own a plantation in the Congo and several family members have AIDS. Their land is constantly being attacked and set on fire and they’ve lost most of their livestock, but they haven’t been hurt yet. There are often many months that go by before we get word from her, and we always fear the worst. Some of the stories my daughter’s friend has told us are truly chilling. If I had the celebrity status of someone like Ben Affleck, or Brangelina, etc., I would probably be doing the same thing - using that status to raise awareness of situations like this.
For those who will inevitably slam Ben for having the audacity to raise awareness of an atrocity outside of the US borders, keep in mind that Ben is a co-founder of an annual charity poker event along with Don Cheadle and Adam Sandler which benefits U.S, organizations such as The United Way and the American Red Cross. He’s also hosted charity benefits for elementary schools and colleges in the Boston area and in the hometown of wife Jennifer Garner.

While wife Jennifer Garner is just weeks away from giving birth to their second child, Ben Affleck is visiting war-torn refugee camps in the Central African country of Congo.
This is Ben's fourth trip to the country since 2007 and he's said to be working on a documentary to raise awareness about the country's plight.
"I'm not an expert in international affairs or diplomacy, but it doesn't take that to see the tremendous suffering here," he told The Associated Press. "It's not something that we as human beings can, in good conscience, ignore."
Ben says he first became interested in Congo when many Hollywood stars were focusing on the situation in nearby Darfur. He says he was shocked when he learned an estimated 5 million people had died in only 4 years during a war in Congo.
"I thought a lot of people are advocating on Darfur. I'd just be a very small log on a big fire. I started getting interested in Congo and I thought, this is a place where I can have a really big impact," he said.
"I think that, for better or worse, people with some profile in the arts have some currency to spend as celebrities. And for a time, I didn't spend that in any particularly productive way. And I got to a point where I thought, this is wasteful."
The situation there is so tragic, we certainly applaud Ben's efforts to raise awareness.
Jennifer Garner is one of my favorite celebrities, but I try not to publish all the photos that come out of her because she just looks harassed, especially in this last stage of her pregnancy. Yesterday the news came out that she’s being stalked by an obsessed mentally ill guy who has been trying to contact her since 2002. It sounds like she not only has to worry about all the paparazzi trailing her every day, she also has this crazy guy to be concerned about. That could easily explain why she’s looking so troubled.
There are some cute stories about Garner in the tabloids that are about to become puppy training paper that I didn’t want to pass up. They mainly focus on compromises that Affleck and Garner have made for each other.
Garner made SNL trash Guy Ritchie skit because it was “insensitive”
According to Mike Walker in the Enquirer, Jennifer Garner was on set while her husband Ben was rehearsing for his Saturday Night Live gig. She saw a skit he was working on in which Guy Ritchie was “whooping it up post-bustup with horning hotties decades younger than dear old Madge!” They decided not to run the skit at the last minute, though, because Garner didn’t agree with it and thought it was “insensitive.” She is said to have noted that the couple has children and that it’s not nice to make fun of a failed marriage. Affleck didn’t agree with her, but “killed the skit to keep the peace.”
Garner helps decorate poker room for Affleck in new mansion
Garner may get her way on some issues concerning her husband’s career, but she’s willing to compromise when it comes to his favorite hobbies. Also in The Enquirer is a story that she’s helping convert a spare room in their new Brentwood mansion into “a plush gaming den” for her poker-loving hubby. The room was even her idea.
“When it’s done, Ben’s poker room is expected to look just like a private high-roller suite at the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas, which is where he likes to play,” a close friend told The Enquirer.
At first, 36-year-old Jen disapproved of her husband’s poker habit, and he cut back on his Vegas junkets. But last year he reportedly spent up to four nights a week playing the game online, and dropped up to $20,000 a night!
“Jen wanted Ben to cut out playing poker completely, but she knew that wasn’t realistic,” said the source. “So she decided to build a room at home where Ben could have the boys over once a week.”
[From The National Enquirer, print edition, November 24, 2008]
The couple that compromises for each other stays together. If only Madonna would have realized that, maybe Guy would still be around, drinking milk with his tea and enjoying a nice steak once in a while.

Jennifer Garner looks like she is so ready to have Violet's little brother or sister!!!

Hollywood Heartthrob Ryan Phillippe was spotted at his local Starbucks in West Hollywood this morning. Ryan was wearing his normal ‘celebrity disguise’, known to us mere mortals as a hat! It looked like Ryan needed his morning pick-me-up pretty badly! Maybe the drink will put a smile on his face? Someone call Abbie Cornish, stat! She’ll put a smile on his face.

Hollywood hard man and action hottie, Jason Statham showed his softer side as he greeted a female friend and her baby near his Hollywood home today. Jason has been linked to several Hollywood ladies as of late, including Kate Hudson, and we can see why he is such a catch! Look how good he is with the little one!
Beginning their week on a family front, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were spotted dropping off their daughter Violet at nursery school earlier today (November 10).
The “Sum of All Fears” stud and his “Catch and Release” wife looked like the picture of parental bliss as they escorted their 2 ½-year-old to school for the day, with Ben sporting a grey t-shirt and jeans while Jen opted for a black scoopneck maternity shirt and jeans.
Looks like Jen has finally gotten too big to carry Violet!
Guess that can only mean one thing: she's due any day now!
Will Ben just get DILF-ier with two kids?
Out tending to their little girl, actors Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were spotted picking up their daughter Violet from school in Santa Monica on Thursday (November 6).
And with Jennifer looking more pregnant than ever (she’s expecting sometime this winter), Ben took care of toting Violet around.
What else is there to say? These two are just perfectly adorable 24/7!
But when's Jen Garner gonna give birth?
Like Ashlee Simpson, sure I'm soon!
There seem to be a lot of celebs that could be Separated at Birth.
But with this one we have to wonder if they are in someway related.
Paul Rudd, who has starred in Knocked Up and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, looks eerily similar to Jennifer Lopez's ex, Ben Affleck.
Is it the jawline, the nose, the eyebrows?
Either way, they're both hotties!
But can U tell who's who?

Playing the role of the doting father, Ben Affleck was spotted out in Santa Monica earlier today dropping off his daughter Violet off at preschool.
The “Good Will Hunting” stud had his hands full, carrying his 2 ½-year-old in one arm, and a bevy of school supplies in the other, while Violet held a note from her mom Jennifer Garner that read “Mama will be right back.”
Did YOU?
Tons of Hollywood celebs turned out to the polling booths yesterday - from Lindsay Lohan and Nicky Hilton to Ben Affleck and Rachel Bilson - to cast their vote in this year's historic election. We all know Barack Obama won and that's FANTASTIC, but what really counts is that everyone got out there and made their individual voice heard...
Check out our gallery of celebs rocking the vote below!
If you did vote, then good for you!
Keeping up on their parental duties, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were spotted escorting their daughter Violet to preschool this morning (November 4).
The “Armageddon” stud and his “Alias” wife looked a bit tired as they hopped out of their SUV, then again, Jen was sporting an iced beverage from Starbucks to rectify her fatigue.
Little Violet Affleck is growing up so fast!
Baby V was spotted this weekend with her very pregnant mom, Jennifer Garner, and daddy Ben Affleck shopping in a toy store in New York.
The happy family spent some time bonding and picking out toys.
We can't say this enough… Violet really looks like such a happy, well-behaved, adorable little girl.
And we give all the credit to the parents.
The new Bennifer really knows how to keep a kid grounded and as normal as possible.
And unlike the Cruise fam, they don't stop and parade their daughter for the paparazzi like a show-horse.

I thought I was on a sweetness overlaod after eating all my Halloween candy, but somehow Jennifer Garner and Violet Affleck pushed me over that limit. I so need to go to the dentist because I think I got a cavity or two.

Making for family time in the midst of what’s been a hectic New York City trip, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were spotted out shopping with daughter Violet at Scholastic Store in Soho on Sunday (November 2).
The trio have been away from the Los Angeles area home, staying in the Big Apple for Ben’s appearance on “Saturday Night Live” last night.
McCain’s first skit on SNL, which was a hit. His second skit, below, wasn’t quite as effective
After a serious ten straight minutes of political commercials, Saturday Night Live finally kicked off with John McCain and Sarah Palin. The real McCain, but not the real Sarah Palin. Tina Fey was back with what will be, if she sticks to her word, her final performance on the Saturday show as the Alaska Governor.
McCain and “Palin” were on QVC on the skit, in rebuttal to Obama’s Wednesday night 30-minute ad, because the time came cheap as long as they would hawk a few products. As Tina-as-Palin explained as she stroked her lovely, designer jacket, running a Presidential campaign is expensive.
Senator McCain announced the pair’s first product, a 10-piece collector’s set representing the ten town hall meetings the Senators McCain and Obama had. He stepped over to reveal ten blank, white plates, because, as he explained, Obama refused to do town hall meetings.
The second product was presented by Palin, a complete set of Joe action figures, plumber, six pack, and Biden. Her favorite being the Biden doll, whose string you could pull and he would talk for 45-minutes straight.
McCain then took the opportunity to talk about the crossroads in American history we all find ourselves in this election year… until Palin interrupted to announce that there were only two minutes left to order the Washington Outsider jewelry!
Which brought McCain to his “Fine Gold” line of jewelry, presented by Cindy McCain. That joke wrote itself. The next one had to reach a bit further, Sarah Palin’s Ayers Freshners, to plug in when “sumthin’ doesn’t quite smell right.” Plus, as Tina said, it keeps on reminding you of William Ayers!
The final official product was John McCain Pork Knives, to “cut the pork out.”
Then Tina’s Palin goes rogue, taking the camera to the side with “PALIN in 2012″ t-shirts, “just wait til after Tuesday to wear them.” Whether they win or not, she says, Palin isn’t going anywhere, she’s either going to be in the White House or be White Oprah.
From off camera, McCain asks, “What’s going on over there, Sarah?”
“Oh, just talkin’ ’bout taxes.”
Before the Senator delivers the obligatory line for opening Saturday Night Live, he tells the QVC audience that he is a true Maverick, a Republican without money, so had no choice but to go on QVC. And unlike Barack Obama, he doesn’t have Hollywood connections, his only showbiz supporters are John Voight and Heidi from the Hills.
He closed with, “When you go to the polls remember “Country First”, and as a reminder, all undergarments are unrefundable.”
John McCain was as willing and funny as I knew he would be. He really seems to have a sense of humor, it’s just been markedly missing, or strangely askew, for the past couple weeks. He got plenty of laughs and alot of applause. He seemed to be a hit.
But then he came on Weekend Update. There was actual booing when he was introduced. Senator McCain delivered an interesting array of “last minute strategies.” The “Reverse Maverick”: where he does whatever anybody tells him. The “Double Maverick”: going totally berserker and freak everybody out. The “Sad Grandpa”: Obama has a lot of time left to run for president, voters should give him a chance. People laughed at his bad ideas, but not in the good way. When Seth Myers asked which he was going to use, McCain got serious for a minute and said he was going to stick with his basic strategy… connect with the voters, stand by his record, etc. And if that doesn’t work, probably the Double Maverick.
One sketch too many, Senator.
Ben Affleck was not as good as I’d hoped he’d be. He had a couple of funny moments, but more than not, he was disappointing. Singer David Cook, on the other hand was excellent.
Update by Celebitchy: Here’s Ben Affleck as Keith Olbermann, and as Alec Baldwin stopping by The View. (Thanks daisy424!)
Jennifer Garner is like the cutest Hollywood mom! I love that she dressed up like Violet Affleck for Halloween! If she is Fred and Violet it s Ted, I wonder what Ben Affleck is?

These days there’s no telling where she’ll turn up next. And earlier today (October 27), Jessica Biel was spotted promoting her new film “Easy Virtue” in Italy.
The “7th Heaven” babe was looking hot at the 3rd Rome International Film Festival photo call, held at the Auditorium Parco della Musica, sporting a grey pants suit with a white button-up shirt.
Enjoying a family-filled Sunday afternoon, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were spotted out at a Pacific Palisades park yesterday with their daughter Violet. (October 26).
And it was clear that the 2 ½-year-old was having a blast, smiling all the way, as her parents held hands and strolled around the grounds.
This fam always brings the cuteness!
Check out a still-preggers Jennifer Garner with her precious daughter Violet in Santa Monica on Wednesday... and nice to see Ben Affleck with them for once!
Ben has good days and bad days. We like how he looks today, though! Do you?
He looks trim but not too slim. Keep up the good work, Ben!
Sure, they’re two of the best-known actors in Hollywood, but that doesn’t mean that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have forgotten about their most important role- Violet’s parents.
The “Good Will Hunting” stud and his “Juno” actress wife were spotted escorting their 2 ½-year-old daughter to her Santa Monica school yesterday, looking like a picture perfect family.
Everyone’s favorite Welsh crooner, Tom Jones, was showing off a bit of leg yesterday when we caught him in this EXCLUSIVE foto set. And what was Tom up to? Why, shopping for a new luxury car in Los Angeles . Tom was sporting a very fetching jungle-ish beige outfit as he checked out a $300,000 Rolls Royce and a lesser priced Aston Martin. It seems Tom is unaware of the ‘credit crunch’ and the stunning blonde sales assistant was certainly not going to tell him. Smart girl, get that commission.
Jaime Pressly was sans baby yesterday when she did a bit of shopping, and we would certainly agree that Jaime deserves a bit of me time. Jaime was actually engaged in some hard core underwear shopping at Under G’s lingerie store in Beverly Hills, California. Jaime was dressed down in a baseball hat and a rather plain t-shirt. Clearly, Jaime saves her adventurous articles of clothing for other, er, more discreet places.
Taking care of priority number one - their daughter - Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were spotted escorting young Violet to school in Santa Monica on Tuesday (October 21).
Later on in the day, the expecting “Juno” actress was spotted out once again, this time acting hiding her face and baby bump with bags as she picked Violet up from school.
Aw, it’s no longer for the kiddies any more! Look who we saw playing in amongst the pumpkins - the world’s number one celebrity blogger Perez Hilton! Perez made a visit yesterday to a pumpkin patch in West Hollywood as a parody of a certain infamous reality television couple…and probably a couple other people as well. The very trim and buff Perez, together with his pet pooch Teddy, had fun as they both left with a new friend…..a scarecrow!
Tending to her motherly duties, Jennifer Garner was spotted leaving a day care in Santa Monica with her daughter Violet on Monday (October 13).
The lovely ladies then accompanied Ben Affleck to a restaurant in Brentwood for a bite to eat, leaving in their Mercedes S63 AMG following their meal.
Looks like Jennifer Garner is getting close to giving birth to Violet's little sister or brother.

Looking as if he just jumped out of bed, Ben Affleck was spotted out and about this morning (October 10) lending a helping hand to his expecting wife Jennifer Garner.
Toting daughter Violet in his arms, the “Good Will Hunting” hunk and his “Juno” bride were in the midst of a schoolhouse drop-off, then off to take care of their daily business before this evening’s big AL Championship Series game featuring Ben’s beloved Boston Red Sox.
Opting to join his lovely wife on this particular day, Ben Affleck escorted Jennifer Garner and their daughter Violet for a schoolhouse drop-off on Wednesday (October 8).
For the sunny October outing, the “Good Will Hunting” hunk kept things casual in a “Ski Austria” t-shirt, jeans and sneakers.
We just caught this adorable family out and about looking cool and cute -- no surprise there.
But the REAL surprise is Ben's absolute hotness! Not that he wasn't always a cutie, but check out this shot inside ...
H-O-T! Right?!
Surrounded by photographers, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were spotted picking up their daughter Violet Affleck at the First Presbyterian Nursery School in Santa Monica on Friday (October 3).
During what’s normally a routine outing for most of us, things got so chaotic that the police had to be called to keep on eye on an abnormally large crowd of shutterbugs.
Ben Affleck was spotted in Santa Monica today looking much meatier than he has in recent months. The hunky actor was looking a little on the manorexic side back in June, but it appears as though he's spent the summer pumping iron and building up his biceps. Thank goodness! We like Ben with a little bit of extra gravy.
And we bet Jen does too!
Everything Jennifer Garner does is so cute, even pregnancy!
BTW she looks like she is carrying a boy, don't you think?

Damn, talk about scruffy! I know it's for a movie (Mike Judge's Extract), but still! We like him clean-cut.
Ben Affleck and wife Jennifer Garner are building a new mansion in Beverly Hills for themselves, daughter Violet and the new baby...
Didn't get a good shot of Jen's burgeoning belly, but we know it's getting bigger by the minute!

Think the new house will be ready by the time the baby arrives?
Following an evening out at the Pink party in Santa Monica, pregnant actress Jennifer Garner was spotted keeping up with her active social calendar by attending a house party in Beverly Hills on Sunday (September 14).
Expecting her second child later this year, the former “Alias” actress wore a yellow floral print maternity top with jeans as she carried a basket full of baby goods into the afternoon fete.

When I saw that picture of Matt Damon with the kids from ONEXONE, it reminded me of the pictures I saw Ben Affleck with them a few months ago. So when it comes to who looks better with the kids, the answer is they both look cute with them because look how happy all of them look!!! addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fseriouslyomg.com%2F%3Fp%3D9118'; addthis_title = 'Who+looks+better+with+the+kids+from+ONEXONE%3F'; addthis_pub = 'seriously';
Stepping out for a Sunday morning family meal, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner took their daughter Violet to breakfast at Giggle N Hugs in Los Angeles, California earlier today (September 7).
Perfect for the whole family, the restaurant boasts itself as a place where kids can be kids and parents can just sit back and relax.
Sporting a grungy plaid buttondown shirt with rolled-up jean shorts and sandals, Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted out running errands in Hollywood on Wednesday (August 27).
Per the usual, the 22-year-old twin mogul tried to hide her face from the camera while she walked back to her car following a quick stop at a local shop.
