Judy Greer reveals what she plans to change ahead of her 50th birthday
Judy Greer "doesn't want to make any changes" in her life just because she is turning 50. The '27 Dresses' star - who has been married to TV executive producer Dean E. Johnsen and is stepmother to his two children - will celebrate her milestone birthday in July and joked that she is "kind of boring" so she is just planning on going on a trip with her family to mark the occasion. She told PEOPLE: "I'm taking a trip with my family. I guess I'm kind of boring. Everything in my life is really nice and really good, and I'm really happy, so I kind of just don't want to make any changes." Throughout the course of her career, Judy has become known for her roles in films such as '13 Going On 30' and 'Jawbreaker' but admitted as she moved towards the end of her forties that while she felt "very lucky" to be working, there was still a "long way to go" in terms of providing actresses her age across the board with "better" things to do. She said: "I'm very lucky to be an actress in my 40s right now because there are great roles for us.' 'There are great directors and writers out there, and so I think that we're just getting served better material than those women were when I was in my 20s. There's a long way to go. Please don't get me wrong, but it's a start and I'll take it!" Judy can now be seen in the Apple+ sports comedy series 'Slick' and stars alongside Owen Wilson, Peter Dager, Marc Maron, Mariana Treviño, Lilli Kay and Timothy Olyphant. The synopsis reads: "After the collapse of his marriage [to Greer's character Amber-Linn] and getting fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store, ex-pro golfer Pryce Cahil hedges his bets, and future, entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom named Santi [Dager]."

'I watched 13 Going On 30 after turning 30 and here's what they don't tell you'
Dirty Thirty. Thirty, Flirty, and Thriving. The Big Three O. No matter which out-of-touch, millennial pop culture term you use, the fact remains, you're in the third decade of your life. Statistically, you probably have another four to go. Yay. The shift from being a twenty-something that loves partying till 4am to becoming the girl who wants to spend her entire weekend in bed watching a family drama called Parenthood was swift. All of a sudden my usual vices weren't as appealing as they used to be. More importantly, I secretly loved that. The weekend after I turned thirty, while indulging in said Netflix and chill; the boring, in-the-same-pyjamas-since-the-last-three-days kind, not the steamy kind - I happened to serendipitously chance upon 13 Going On 30. As a staunch believer of fate, chosen destiny, and all that other witchy voodoo – I knew I had to spend my next hour and 38 minutes watching Jennifer Garner go full ham on my TV screen. And it was an hour and 38 minutes I did not regret. So now, like any self-respecting journalist at a major news publication, I'm going to present you with 13 thoughts I had while watching 13 Going on 30 after turning 30 (side quest : say it as a tongue-twister 13 times). 1. Whether you're 13 or 30 - friendships will always be relevant Like Jenna Rink retrospectively realised - choosing who to surround yourself with when you're a teen is supremely important, and it becomes even more glaringly obvious why when you're 30. My closest friends to date have all been in my life since I was a reckless teenager, and some from even before then. These are the bonds that have survived the test of time, that have embraced me during gut-wrenching, crush-my-soul heartbreaks and been on the phone to me while I dealt with life-shattering disappointments. These are the people that at 30 - when all of a sudden, you become painfully aware of life - have held my hand from one panic attack inducing thought to the next. These are my people. 2. The movie has a banging soundtrack - and so should your life 3. Love is always going to be the thing that's worth fighting for Because I didn't suddenly wake up in the body of my 30-year-old self with a built-in, famous, athlete boyfriend. No. I had to get through each painstaking, obstacle-wrought year with my long-distance boyfriend for eight years while he - worked at sea with only 50MB of data in a day, studied on another continent, existed in another time zone, traversed across a different hemisphere. Now while we didn't have to resort to turning back time via magic fairy dust, we certainly had our fair share of ludicrous ups and downs. But like Jenna, we didn't give up and fought for our love. The result? The law is now officially involved in our relationship. 4. A good ol' slumber party with your girls (or boys) can fix anything, so make time for them! But more generally - make time for your friends. Your older self will thank you. 5. You can't turn back time, no matter how hard you try So, as much of a Hallmark-card cliché this may be - live in the now. Do that thing you're putting off, follow that passion you left behind when you were 12, travel solo to that remote island, make that career-pivot you're too scared to make, and tell that human you love them. 6. Sometimes, you just have to hide in a closet (or room, or bathroom) and have a good cry It doesn't make you weak. It won't break your resolve. And most importantly - your skin will glow for a hot sec when you're done. 7. Thank god I left bitchy, back-stabbing, two-faced friends like Tom-Tom behind in high school 8. 'We made choices', said Matty. And those three words hit me like a ton of bricks Because it's true - our whole lives are a sum total of our choices; good, bad, ugly. It helps absolutely no one if you sit and regret the choices you made. But you know who it helps if those choices are owned, studied, and learnt from? You. 9. Sexy, brooding, Mark Ruffalo-artistic-types will always be my weak spot I don't make the rules. 10. 'You don't always get the dream house, but you get awfully close' Having recently moved to London, sitting in my sweet little apartment overlooking the river with the love of my life as we blast retro music and cook a Full English on a Saturday, I'd say Matty Flamhaff was exactly right. 11. Jumping off a swing at the age of 30 is definitely going to hurt Must try it anyway. Something about making this my fearless decade. This is obviously a metaphor. 12. When Jenna Rink said, 'I think all of us want to feel something that we've forgotten or turned our backs on, because maybe we didn't realise how much we were leaving behind', she was talking about her chance at love with Matty. But for me, watching this scene at the ripe (see how I avoided the old) age of 30 - all it reminded me of was home The ever-supportive family I left behind in pursuit of my dreams almost a decade ago when I moved out. The mundane weekdays I've missed. The celebrations and milestones I've been absent from. All the ways in which I haven't been able to be there for them, by virtue of not being around physically. All of the familial responsibilities that have fallen on the innocent shoulders on my little brother. There's no point to this rumination - this is life. This is adulthood. And sometimes, it is what it is. 13. Occasionally, all you need to do is break out into rehearsed choreography on a certified banger. *Cue Single Ladies* There's a quiet sense of triumph in watching 13 Going on 30, after turning 30. For me - it lay in the realisation that my life was nowhere near as chaotic as grown-up Jenna Rink's. It lay in the fact that I have a solid set of friends that genuinely have my back - who celebrate my victories as theirs and my failures as "it just hasn't happened for you yet ". It lay in the fact that I was not stupid enough to let my Matty go when I first found him nine years ago. And it most definitely lay in the reality that I did make it home last Christmas.

Jennifer Garner steps out with John Miller in LA as she offers glimpse into domestic life after he 'moved in'
Jennifer Garner and her boyfriend John Miller were spotted on a rare outing together Saturday in Los Angeles. The couple, who have been dating on off since 2018, stepped out for a quick grocery run. Garner, 53, looked relaxed in a black hoodie and leggings with white sneakers and sock with a pink and yellow trim. Her long, chestnut locks were pulled back in a ponytail and covered with a black billed hat. Miller, 47, donned a gray crewneck sweater, jeans and brown boots for the trip to Vicente Foods. It comes after a report claimed the couple, who have been dating on-off since 2018, are now essentially living together, but 'part time.' 'John is basically living with Jennifer,' a source told UsWeekly on Wednesday, noting it was only 'part time.' The site also claimed he moved out of his Los Angeles home after the wildfires ravaged several neighborhoods in the Southern California city, and he has yet to find a new pad. 'He has an office in L.A. and splits his time between staying there and at Jennifer's home,' the source said. 'But he's been staying with Jennifer more often [and] doesn't want to impose, so he's looking for his own place… [and] deciding whether he'll rent or buy.' Jennifer gave fans a glimpse into her relaxing Saturday morning activities. Garner shared a snap of a golden brown 'weekend focaccia'. The scrumptious-looking bread was fresh out of the oven and perhaps John enjoyed a slice. The 13 Going On 30 star was previously married to actor Ben Affleck from 2005 to 2018 and they share kids Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13. The pair have remained friendly since their 2018 divorce. They are the parents of three; Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Sam, 13, and will sometimes do family activities together. Affleck recently bought a house just minutes away from Garner's to be closer to his children following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez. Earlier in the day, the Alias star shared some information on Day 17 of her effort to run a mile a day for 67 days to draw attention to the needs of suffering children around the world. 'So, why is famine such a huge problem right now in Eastern Africa?' she asked rhetorically, while huffing through her neighborhood. Trying to make the situation relatable she said, 'A lot of this sounds very familiar to California; drought, then wildfire, then flooding, mudslides, so that is stuff we all know about.' Those problems result in 'loss of livestock. Loss of crops. War', adding 'thank God that is not an issue we are living through right now.' She then spoke about what happens when these kinds of catastrophes begin their domino effect. The Alias star shared information as she ran a mile on day 17 of 67 to draw attention to the needs of suffering children around the world. '$67 saves the life of a child,' she said 'Displacement of people, and all of this together has put kids in more peril than ever in our world, so we're running for them. $67 saves the life of a child,' she said at the conclusion of the clip. The Yes Day actress announced her endeavor on her birthday, April 17, as a way to provide therapeutic nutrition for some 16 thousand children suffering from acute malnutrition. Garner has been an ambassador for Save the Children since 2009. She has been a member of the board of the charitable organization since 2014.

Jennifer Garner's lover John Miller has 'moved into her mansion'... with a catch ex Ben Affleck must like
, 53, certainly has become serious with her boyfriend of seven years, John Miller, 47. The 13 Going On 30 actress is so smitten with the CEO and entrepreneur she's allowed him to move into the Los Angeles mansion she shares with her three children. But there is a catch: the dashing Angeleno lives there only part time. 'John is basically living with Jennifer,' a source told UsWeekly on Wednesday, noting it was only 'part time.' The site also claimed he moved out of his Los Angeles home after the wildfires ravaged several neighborhoods in the Southern California city, and he has yet to find a new pad. 'He has an office in L.A. and splits his time between staying there and at Jennifer's home,' the source said. 'But he's been staying with Jennifer more often [and] doesn't want to impose, so he's looking for his own place… [and] deciding whether he'll rent or buy.' Jennifer and John have been dating since 2018. Garner is also close to her ex-husband Ben Affleck whom she has her kids with: Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13. Ben bought a house just minutes from Garner so he can be closer to his kids. There have been rumors that he has fallen back in love with ex Garner after he had his arm around her waist during a paintball session with the kids, but those rumors are unfounded. He is still trying to sell the $68million mega mansion he used to live in with Jennifer Lopez, whom he divorced earlier this year. Meanwhile, Jennifer - who is about to go on a summer tour - has snapped up a stunning $21million mansion in Hidden Hills, California near her pals Kim and Khloe Kardashian. This comes after confirmed in mid March that Garner is still going strong with Miller. They were seen by a source getting cuddly date together. The lovebirds were 'holding hands and kissing' and acting 'very cute with one another' when walking through the Brentwood Country Mart in Los Angeles. The PDA session took place in the evening, said the eyewitness. 'They are still going strong and appear to be doing really well,' the source told 'They looked happy and at ease like they were a married couple that is thriving. They laughed and smiled at each other. Very cute. 'Both were dressed casually and she had no makeup on, her hair down. He had on a coat and jeans.' Garner has been in Los Angeles to shoot season two of the Reese Witherspoon- produced series The Last Thing He Told Me with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. The source added that there was plenty of affection between the two of them. 'They held hands and kissed and looked like a very normal couple with no Hollywood weirdness.' It was also claimed that he moved out of his Los Angeles home after the wildfires and he has yet to find a new pad. 'He has an office in L.A. and splits his time between staying there and at Jennifer's home,' the source said. 'But he's been staying with Jennifer more often [and] doesn't want to impose, so he's looking for his own place' She used to be wed to Ben Affleck, who lives near her now; seen in 2013 Garner and Miller quietly began dating after she finalized her divorce from Affleck. The pair, who reportedly briefly split in 2020, have managed to keep their relationship largely out of the spotlight, apart from a small handful of outings in Los Angeles over the years. Affleck and Garner tied the knot in 2005 and announced they were separating in 2015. They finalized their divorce three years later. After photos of Affleck tenderly embracing his ex-wife sent the internet into a frenzy, a source told that Miller was a bit bothered seeing them 'being touchy-feely.' 'It would get to anyone, but this is nothing new,' the insider said. 'Ben and Jen have a unique relationship, especially for exes. Last month, insiders shared that Miller struggles with her relationship with Ben, and avoids talking about the actor where possible. Garner had adopted the role of 'marriage counsellor' to her ex-husband and Lopez in the wake of their shock split last year, with some friends fearing she had been forced to 'play mediator.' The role did not sit well with Miller, who understands they have children, but reportedly doesn't like sharing her. 'John is trying to deal with Ben and Jen's relationship by mostly staying quiet, but it's very hard to do that,' a source told exclusively. 'He knows that Ben has to be around as a father and he is more than OK with that, but he wants to be the man in the relationship. 'John only talks about Ben when Jen talks about Ben or when their kids talk about him. He doesn't bring him up unprompted.' 'John respects Ben, but less is more because John wants Jen for himself,' the insider continued. 'He still needs to figure out how to compartmentalize it all.' Meanwhile Lopez is said to be on good terms with Garner, People reported. Lopez and Affleck settled their divorce on January 6, however, court documents confirmed the marriage wasn't legally dissolved until February 21. The exes rekindled their romance in 2021 and got married in 2022, but called it quits in 2024. Jennifer
