kgb 542542, America’s favorite text answer service, will support Save the Children Artist Ambassador Jennifer Garner and Save the Children’s new k2kUSA kids advocacy campaign to call attention to the need for early childhood education in the U.S. kgb will work to promote Garner’s campaign by launching a unique “Text-ition,” a national text petition to raise awareness and gather supporters for Garner’s visit to Capitol Hill today.
“Texting is one of the most widespread communications platforms we have and we can’t think of a better use for the technology than to promote awareness among young people of the vital importance of early education in America,” said kgb CEO of Mobile and Digital businesses Bruce Stewart. “Text is the interactive medium of choice today for America’s young people, so we’re harnessing the power of that behavior to create America’s first ‘Text-ition,’ a text petition they can join to show their support for the k2kUSA campaign that Jennifer Garner can cite in her discussions with lawmakers today. This text petition is an historic ‘first’ — a new way to build and activate an army of advocates.”
kgb will be tagging messages to its millions of users with a call to action to sign the “Text-ition” and tabulating the results that Ms. Garner can cite in her lobbying efforts on Capitol Hill.

I’m thrilled kgb is supporting our efforts with their unique and forceful ‘Text-ition’ that will send our message to members of Congress.”

Thanks to my friend soraya I added translation from Gala interview
Gala: At home, who puts the garbage out?
Jennifer Garnier: Well, most often, it’s me. Besides what people may think, I’m a really houseproud housewife. It’s important to me. I cook a lot, as well.
G: Do you sort out your garbage?
JG: In my country, it’s easy to do it thanks to the different garbage cans set up. The blue one for everything recycable, the green one for the vegetable and the dark one for anything else. The environmental protection is not just a fashionable subject to me. I’ve always taken care of it. (more…)
Even though Ashton Kutcher and Jennifer Garner have done dramas, they seem to be aware that movie audiences respond best to them in comedies. So it seems like a natural fit that the two actors would appear in “Valentine’s Day,” the romantic comedy that has one of the biggest star-driven casts in recent years. (more…)
The romantic comedy Valentine’s Day is a veritable who’s who of Hollywood, with a cast that includes Julia Roberts, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Biel, Bradley Cooper, Jamie Foxx, Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Alba, Anne Hathaway, Topher Grace, George Lopez, Shirley Maclaine, Hector Elizondo, Taylor Swift, Taylor Lautner and Emma Roberts, just to name a few. And the man responsible for getting all that talent together is director Garry Marshall, who the all-star ensemble was excited to work with. (more…)
The romantic comedy Valentine’s Day starts out on a romantic note between Reed Bennett, played by Ashton Kutcher, and his girlfriend Morley, played by Jessica Alba. As the owner of Siena Bouquet, a flower shop and café, Reed is the ultimate romantic and he is ecstatic when the woman he’s sure he loves accepts his proposal.
But, news of Reed’s engagement is met with skepticism by his best friend, Julia Fitzpatrick, played by Jennifer Garner. Morley quickly gets cold feet and Reed starts to see something more in his friendship with Julia, which leads to a Valentine’s Day that none of them will forget. (more…)
Valentine’s Day is coming up, and many of us are wondering what we should do.
“Valentine’s Day” comes out Friday, and while the ensemble romantic comedy doesn’t offer any real suggestions about what to do, two of its stars – Jennifer Garner and Ashton Kutcher – sat down with us to talk romance.
In the film by Garry Marshall, the veteran director of “Pretty Woman” and “The Princess Diaries,” Kutcher plays a real romantic, a florist named Reed having the busiest day of the year. He begins the day by proposing to his girlfriend, played by Jessica Alba.
His best friend, Julia (played by Garner), an elementary school teacher, wakes up with a handsome doctor she believes is the one after so many bad relationships. But the pals’ plans go awry as the story unfolds. (more…)
A movie about love dedicated to the day of love. That’s what director Garry Marshall promises in his latest romantic comedy Valentine’s Day.
Produced by Warner Bros Pictures, the film boasts of an amazing ensemble cast including Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Alba and Jennifer Garner, to name a few. The film that promises to make the day extra special hits theatres this Friday. Here Garner and Kutcher talk about their film and reveal their own Valentine secrets
Tell us about your characters…
Jennifer Garner: I play Julia Fitzpatrick, a school teacher who’s in love with Valentine’s day and in love with the perfect guy, and I believe that he’s the one for me.
Ashton Kutcher: I played Reed Bennett, a florist. I kind of think florists are messengers, modern day cupids of love. And by passing those messages, he puts himself in a vulnerable position, because on Valentine’s day he’s forced to pass a message to his best friend that is not so good.
What is Valentine’s day like for you?
JG: First of all, it’s a nice day to smile at people and say, ‘Happy Valentine’s day.’ But, it can be a wonderful reset button for a relationship.
AK: When you’re in a relationship for a while, the advantage of Valentine’s day is breaking patterns. It’s a day to put aside regular stuff and really plug into a day, It’s a day about making each other happy.
What’s the best Valentine’s day gift you’ve either given or received?
AK: My wife and I, we got each other a chair. It seems odd, but it’s a fantastic chair, it has a high back. I don’t even know what it’s called, but it’s this really beautiful, elegant chair.
JG: When I was a kid, my first Valentine gave me one of those friendship white-rope bracelets. But then he wore it until it was frayed and grey and fell off and that was the real romance.
AK: Yes, that’s the important message. You can give somebody the simplest thing in the world, but if it means something to them, it can really affect a loving response.
Jennifer Garner, an actress and former Charleston resident, says no romantic date plans are in the works for her and husband Ben Affleck this Feb. 14.
Instead, Garner will be sharing the day with another one of Hollywood’s leading men.
“I will be spending Valentines Day with Ashton (Kutcher),” Garner said. (more…)
Julia Roberts is eager for her Valentine’s Day co-star Jennifer Garner to regain a few Alias-era curves.
“You are quite slim,” Roberts, 42, joked to Garner at the Beverly Hills press conference for their romantic comedy, in theaters Feb. 12.
“I just finished nursing,” replied Garner, 37 — who welcomed daughter Seraphina in January 2009. “I’ll soon plump up again.”
Quipped Roberts, “We’ll stay tuned for that.”
Garner also poked fun about falling in love with her husband of four years, Ben Affleck. 37.
“Somewhere around the second kid I thought, ‘This is really turning into something!’” she said.
The busy parents (who are also raising Violet, 4) squeeze in romantic moments whenever they can, Garner said.
“You change the definition of romance,” she said. “Romance is romance, but in addition, romance can just be breakfast over the tops of heads and just getting through the day. You’ve got to find a way make that romantic.”

Jennifer Garner and Jessica Biel bonded while filming Valentine’s Day and have been friends ever since. On a rare girls’ night out, the stars dish about the difficulties of (usually) being the only woman on set, the pros and cons of having a famous significant other, and whether or not either of them really “has it all”.
“She’s not that tall, but you can tell she’s strong,” says Jessica Biel, talking about her 55-pound pit bull mix—but she could just as well be talking about herself. Biel and I are discussing our love for our dogs (she sleeps with hers as I do with mine) as we wait for her new best friend, Jennifer Garner, to join us for dinner at Madeo, a legendary Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills where Al Pacino is said to keep a standing reservation. The hostess has seated us in a booth in the farthest corner from the door in an attempt to offer some privacy, but Biel’s beauty can’t go unnoticed. Fresh from a taping of The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien, Biel has her hair perfectly styled, her makeup perfectly applied. There are sequins sparkling on the T-shirt under her open cardigan sweater. And just moments ago, the whole restaurant watched as she gracefully strode toward this back booth. (more…)
