Brad to Angie: Why don't you love Shiloh!
Does Angeline Jolie love her adopted kids — Maddox, 5, Pax, 3, and Zahara, 2 — more than she loves the baby she had with Brad Pitt? Brad certainly thinks so, multiple insiders tell Life & Style, and he's hurt and angry with her shunning 10-month-old Shiloh. "Brad can't believe she so obviously favors her adopted children," one insider says. "He told Angie that before she adopts another child, she should work on her relationship with her own daughter." Is this the last straw for the troubled couple?

Britney: ‘I'm focusing on myself!’
Britney Spears is looking better than ever, thanks to lots of exercise and slimming lipo treatments. But is she shutting out her family as she works on her post-rehab comeback?

Jen & Ben: Ready for baby No. 2!
Jennifer Garner's sporting what looks like a baby bump, and she and hubby Ben Affleck are building a big new house, with five bedrooms — and a nursery! Says an insider, "They can't wait to give Violet a brother or sister!"

Cover Girl: Jennifer Garner on Allure Magazine

Mom to 1-year-old Violet, actress, Martha Stewart fan and wife to actor Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner has it good. She is gracing the cover of the April issue of Allure magazine and dishes a bit on how her relationship with Ben got started:

“He was a really fun partner in crime but I didn’t take him seriously, and he didn’t take me seriously,” she says. “We just made fun of each other and got each other through a hard movie, but it was not leaning toward romance in any way. Then he went through all this stuff in his life, I went through all this stuff in my life, and we would talk every six months: ‘Oh, how are you?’ Then I was doing the follow-up to Daredevil, and the producer said, ‘Will you call Ben and ask him if he’ll do a cameo?’ And so I called him, and we spent this day doing this cameo, and I was kind of like-Oh! We were both single. And we started emailing. It was very gradual. And surprising. And even now talking about it, I’m surprised.”

The cover girl hails from Charleston, West Virginia, and seems to be very conscious of her roots, going back to her hometown for Violet's christening. She wore a Chanel minidress on the cover, and even brought her own salad to the LA photo shoot, along with a political science book for an online class she's taking through UCLA. Is there anything she doesn't do?

Q&A with Jennifer Garner

People Magazine recently took questions from readers to actress Jennifer Garner. Her newest movie is Catch and Release. Earlier this week, she made an appearance on Martha Stewart's show, bringing her dog, also named Martha Stewart, to meet her namesake. She is the wife of actor Ben Affleck, and mom to 1-year-old Violet.

What is your favorite thing about being a mom?–Jessica Ross, Independence, Ky.
Having a new little pal who goes with me wherever I go.

Your skin is always so beautiful. Do you use anything special? Janet Orfitelli, Southington, Conn.
Thanks! I always have really good hair and makeup done before an appearance, so don't think that my skin is perfect. But I try to take care of it by getting enough sleep and not drinking too much coffee or alcohol. And I have a great facialist. If you're ever in L.A. and want to treat yourself, her name is Nerida Joy and she's magic.

What's it like balancing work and being a new mom? Catrina Carroll, Pearland, Texas
It's definitely a struggle. You're pulled in so many directions, and you want to do 100 percent everywhere. My sisters (Melissa, 38, and Susannah, 32) are working moms, and so are my friends. Any working mom – it's hard for all of us.

How was it working on Catch and Release while you were pregnant? Caroline Slyman, Pittsfield, Maine
It was actually perfect timing. It was in between nausea and getting big, and I felt really emotional, so I could cry easily if I needed to.

How have you managed to keep in shape after the show (Alias) and after giving birth to your first child? Heather Dee, Seattle
I wasn't that into getting back into shape; I was so all about being with my baby. (Then) I started missing the energy you get from being in shape. I resented my friends who said it melted off. It did not melt off! I had to get on the treadmill and do weights and Pilates – and stop eating yummy things. It was a pain. It was not a magic formula.

How much does your West Virginia upbringing influence the way you are raising your daughter? Kirstin Osgood-Harrison, Wichita Falls, Texas
You know the whole it-takes-a-village thing? A village raised the kids in our community, whether it was the ballet teacher or our friends' moms or church. It was a loving place to grow up. Hopefully I'll create that for my daughter.

Would you ever consider moving back to West Virginia? Chasiti Flint, Wayne, West Va. Oh, hello, Chasiti from Wayne! I do think about moving back. It's hard to do my job from West Virginia; it's a hard place to get into and get out of, which is one of the things I love about it. But it makes it hard to imagine that being home base. Maybe someday. I wouldn't be surprised – I love it.

What is the absolute necessity for you when it comes to comfort food? Madhu Vasudevan, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I have a lot of comfort-food necessities. Chocolate is probably No. 1. Not a day goes by that I don't have a little bite, but I try to make it something really rich so I'm not tempted to keep going. I had a bite of a chocolate muffin this morning and will have another bite after lunch. Then I like cheese, crackers and wine with my girlfriends. Cheese is something I've never had luck giving up when trying to diet.

Awkward Moment? Nah!

With that many people in the auditorium for the Golden Globes, there's security in numbers and maybe the celebrity exes won't run into each other. Exes Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are there with their spouses. Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz, only days broken up, are both there. Sure to be an interesting night.

If this picture from E! Online doesn't show the love between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, I don't know what does.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's Baby Baptized

Only she's not really a baby anymore, is she? She celebrated her first birthday earlier in the month, so it seems a little later than usual to be baptizing their daughter, Violet, but they're such a cute couple, we'll let it go. She was baptized in a ceremony on Christmas Eve in Charleston, West Virginia, where Jennifer grew up. Violet's cousin, Alex, was also baptized earlier in the day.
