****SORRY GUYS, HAD TO REMOVE PICS!  SEE THEM AT THE SOURCE****

Erin, it’s me you – and a bucket o’ popcorn. I can’t wait!

Jennifer is carrying a copy of a script – maybe her next movie?  The movie is “Christmas in Connecticut” and was originally filmed in 1945.  From IMDB:

Journalist Elizabeth Lane is one of the country’s most famous food writer. In her columns, she describes herself as a hard working farm woman, taking care of her children and being an excellent cook. But this is all lies. In reality she is an umarried New Yorker who can’t even boil an egg. The recipes come from her good friend Felix. The owner of the magazine she works for has decided that a heroic sailor will spend his christmas on *her* farm. Miss Lane knows that her career is over if the truth comes out, but what can she do?

That totally looks like a Jennifer Garner movie…great casting!  The movie has been remade before, back in 1992. From Wikipedia:

In 1992, a remake of Christmas in Connecticut was made. It starred Dyan Cannon as Elizabeth, Kris Kristofferson as Jefferson Jones, and Tony Curtis as Mr. Yardley. It was directed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. In this version, Elizabeth “Blane” is the hostess of her own cooking show. When her manager, Alexander Yardley introduces her to Jefferson Jones, a forest ranger who lost his cabin in a fire, he asks her to make Jones Christmas dinner live on her show. As in the original, Elizabeth isn’t as talented as she seems.

This version was not as well liked as the original. Many people called it a disaster and wondered why Arnold Schwarzenegger was directing a Christmas movie. As one critic stated, “You’ll be hungry for a better movie after suffering through this film.”

I totally saw that version…it was on TV years back.  Too funny.

For a couple as low-key as Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, it was fitting that their daughter’s baptism was a down-home affair.

Little Violet Affleck, who turned 1 on Dec. 1, was baptized on Christmas Eve at Christ Church United Methodist in Charleston, W. Va., where her mother grew up.

Garner’s parents, sister and brother-in-law are members of the church, where Violet’s cousin Alex was baptized the same day, the Associated Press reports.

If congregants were star-struck by the movie stars in their midst, they didn’t show it, Pastor Randy Flanagan told the AP.

Affleck, 34, a Golden Globe nominee for Hollywoodland, told PEOPLE earlier this month that he’s a hands-on dad: “Yes, I’ve changed diapers,” he said at a New York City screening of Hollywoodland. “Parenthood, the whole thing is wonderful. All the clichés that all the people bore you with are, in fact, true.”
