Jennifer Garner, 53, reveals whether she has done Botox and if she'll ever get plastic surgery
Jennifer Garner has come clean about what cosmetic procedures she has done. The 53-year-old admitted she has tried Botox. 'I don't do a ton, and Botox doesn't work very well for me; that's why I wear bangs a lot. I like to be able to move my forehead, and it's such a big part of my face. I have, like, a five-head,' she told Harper's Bazaar. 'As far as injectables go, I think just find somebody fantastic and proceed with caution,' she suggested. And she added if she would ever get plastic surgery. 'I haven't needed it yet, but I can't say that I haven't said to doctors before, 'Do I need to do this?' And I've had really nice doctors who have just been like, 'No,'' she shared. 'So, God only knows 10 years from now what the conversation will be. I'm not there yet.' 'My advice is to look at the mirror less and be cautious when it comes to injecting anything into your face,' she told Harper's Bazaar in July 2022 when asked about the advice she'd pass down to her two eldest kids with ex-husband Ben Affleck, 19-year-old Violet and 16-year-old Seraphina. 'Be very, very incredibly judicious and wait as absolutely long as possible to add anything,' she continued. 'Don't think that you're 37 and you need to be shooting up your face.' Garner, who's also a mother to 13-year-old Samuel, has consistently urged young women to embrace getting older. 'Take care of yourself, but don't be scared. Aging is a gift,' she told People last March. And she is happy at 53. 'I don't want to be younger. I'm very grateful to be exactly this age. I'm trying to soak it up. I feel like I'm living in my power. I'm living in my wisdom. I'm living in my joy and my capacity to do and get things done. So I'm just very aware of my luck and the grace that's been shown to me.' And she wants to live long. 'I want to age,' Garner shared. 'I want to live to be 100. I don't expect to look at 100 like I look today.' The 13 Going on 30 star has previously warned fans to be cautious when it comes to injectables. 'My routine at night is to set myself up for the morning; it's all about preparation,' said the ex of Ben Affleck. 'I set up my coffee, my workout, and my workout clothes to make it easy, so I don't have an excuse. I also always wash my face. If I have a lot of makeup on from work, I'll use the Neutrogena Makeup Remover wipes. The brand has compostable ones now that I love. They're the OG. They're the best ones. But I'll still wash my face, because if I have that much makeup on, I want to give it a couple of goes.' This month Jennifer's daughter Violet has been in the news. The 19-year-old was stuck in a hotel room arguing with her mother Garner during the California wild fires. The student opened up about her family's experience of the disaster in an essay written for Yale University's student-run Yale Global Health Review in which Violent revealed her mother was 'astonished' by the destruction in the family's neighborhood of Pacific Palisades back in January. She wrote: 'I spent the January fires in Los Angeles arguing with my mother in a hotel room. She was shell-shocked, astonished at the scale of destruction in the neighborhood where she raised myself and my siblings. 'I was surprised at her surprise: as a lifelong Angelena and climate-literate member of generation Z, my question had not been whether the Palisades would burn but when. 'As I chatted with adults in the hotel where we'd gone to escape the smoke, though, I found my position to be an uncommon one: people spoke of how long rebuilding would take, how much it would cost, and how tragically odd the whole situation had been. 'The crisis was acute, a burst of bad luck. It had come from a combination of high winds and low rains ... ' Violet went on to reveal her younger brother Samuel couldn't understand how climate change could have played a part in the disaster, adding: 'What, my little brother asked, did global warming have to do with the speed of the wind?' She added: 'Hopefully, most of us understand the climate crisis better than my little brother.' The teenager is a student at Davenport College and previously spoke out in favour of using face masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during a passionate speech at a Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meeting last July. During her appearance at the meeting, Violet also made a passionate plea for long COVID to be taken seriously - asking for face masks to be worn in public buildings and for increased availability of testing and treatment. She introduced herself as Violet Affleck, Los Angeles resident, first-time voter and 18.' She went on: 'I contracted a post-viral condition in 2019. I'm OK now, but I saw first-hand that medicine does not always have answers to the consequences of even minor viruses. The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown that into sharper relief. 'One in 10 infections leads to long COVID, which is a devastating neurological [and] cardiovascular illness that can take away people's ability to work, move, see, and even think.' She added: 'To confront the long COVID crisis, I demand mask availability, air filtration and far-UVC light in government facilities, including jails and detention centres, and mask mandates in county medical facilities. 'We must expand the availability of high-quality free tests and treatment and, most importantly, the county must oppose mask bans for any reason. 'They do not keep us safer, they make vulnerable members of our community less safe and make everyone less able to participate in Los Angeles together. Thank you.' Violet is the eldest daughter of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, who divorced in 2018. The former couple are also parents to younger children Seraphina and Samuel.

‘Omg hope there are more' – Samantha Irvin turns heads while going braless after quitting WWE for music career
SAMANTHA Irvin still has wrestling fans singing along to her beat despite quitting WWE. Irvin, 36, left her career in the ring to chase her music dream. 2 But her Instagram page is still music to the ears of her adoring fans. Real name Samantha Johnson, the former ring announcer has provided regular updates on her new venture. One of her most popular posts remains her "hump day dump" from last summer. She posed in a denim jacket while seemingly not wearing a bra underneath. And her revealing post left fans desperate for more. But wrestling fans will have to stay tuned to her music career for any more updates. Samantha received her big break when she was hired by the WWE as a ring announcer for WWE 205 Live in April 2021. She initially tried out to be a wrestler but was unsuccessful in the quest. After receiving her ring name, Irvin, she later went on to serve as a announcer for WWE NXT. Samantha became a ring announcer for WWE Smackdown on Fox in January 2022. WWE legend's daughter tearing it up in her own sport as she wins FOURTH successive title And she then took over on Raw by February 2023 as her star continued to rise. Irvin's performances drew praise from the likes of legendary ring announcer Michael Buffer. But her departure from WWE was confirmed last October as she turned her attentions to music. Samantha had a desire to become an entertainment star from a young age, starting off as the Drama Club director at Normandin Middle School for a few years. After trying out for America's Got Talent a number of times, she got her break in 2015. She impressed the judges with her performance of Aretha Franklin's (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman. Samantha was eliminated after the semifinals of the competition. But America's Got Talent provided a valuable springboard for her career. 'It was the best experience of my life, honestly," she told the New York Post. "I really felt like I can do this now."

International Pride Orchestra plays outside DC in rebuff to Trump snub at Kennedy Center
An event by the International Pride Orchestra this week swung from classical Gershwin favorites to choral patriotism to high drag in a rebuff to Donald Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center and its subsequent snub of the LBGTQ+ ensemble. The spirited celebration of WorldPride, the peripatetic biennial international festival in support of LGBTQ+ rights which kicks off this month and is taking place in Washington DC, was staged instead at the Strathmore Music Center in Maryland, just north of the capital. Sequin-clad drag queen Peaches Christ acted as host and New York drag queen Thorgy Thor played a violin solo to Beyoncé's Crazy in Love to an audience of 1,166 people. The orchestra had hoped to play at the Kennedy Center, Washington's premier performing arts center, but not long after returning to the White House, Donald Trump pledged on social media that there would be, in all-caps: 'No more drag shows, or other anti-American propaganda' at the public-private arts space. The Trump administration has issued executive orders limiting transgender rights, banned transgender people from serving in the armed forces, and rescinded anti-discrimination policies for LGBTQ+ people as part of a campaign to repeal diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Michael Roest, conductor and founder of the International Pride Orchestra, a non-profit, reminded the audience that 'people don't feel safe to live and love openly'. 'That is the reason why we have this orchestra,' he said. During the event, the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington sang American the Beautiful, and a pianist, Sara Davis Buechner, who is transgender, dazzled while leading the orchestra on grand piano in the Gershwin favorite Rhapsody in Blue. Both Stars and Stripes and rainbow flags were hoisted at the close. Sign up to This Week in Trumpland A deep dive into the policies, controversies and oddities surrounding the Trump administration after newsletter promotion Trump in February fired the leadership of the Kennedy Center, named himself chair and put a loyalist in charge. The center then sent Roest a message that said: 'We are not in a position at this time to advance a contract,' according to an email chain seen by Reuters, after months of prior negotiations. Considering themselves 'disinvited', event organizers began looking for alternative venues and the Strathmore offered its space, an orchestra spokesperson said. A Kennedy Center spokesperson referred Reuters to an X post from leadership saying it had not actually canceled any shows.
