There’s good news and bad news in today’s Beacon Journal.
Getting the bad news out of the way for those of you who kept your stock in McClatchy Newspapers:.
The BJ year-end stock tables show stock dropped $30.78 during the year to a low of $12.52. That means it was worth $43.30 when the year began. Worse yet, we kow that it was once $76 a share.
Next the good news–especially for our home-grown West Virginia readers.
The ArtsEtc section on page A2 reported that Jennifer Garner was named star of the year by her hometown newspaper the Gazette-Mail. They used a mug shot of Jennifer at the top of the first column, but neither the cutline nor the item said where Jennifer’s hometown is located or where the Gazette-Mail is printed.
Our West Virginia readers know, of course, that it is the Charleston (WV) Gazette-Mail. For those of you who missed the December 30 issue on Jennifer, click on the headline.to go to the story headlined:
Jennifer Garner: our ambassador to Hollywood
Jennifer actually was born in Houston, TX, on April 11, 1972, But the family moved to WV in 1972.
The Globe-Mail also printed several photos of Jennifer including this one with her older sister, Melissa. If you want sexy photos, you will have to Google them.
“To me, most states are very similar,” Garner said in an e-mail interview. “There are very few that have their own personality, so of course I feel like every West Virginian has a little something special that makes them different.”
The Gazette-Mail also noted that Garner was on the cover of Glamour magazine as one of the magazine’s women of the year. (We ,missed that one)
So here’s part of what the Gazette-Mail printed:
“Garner is known as one of the hardest-working women in entertainment. Directors gave her two whole days off — Christmas Eve and Christmas day — from her Broadway smash “Cyrano de Bergerac,” where she stars alongside Kevin Kline. Garner has a critically acclaimed film, “Juno,” slated for major release after touring the festival circuit, and the actress is scheduled to start two new films, said publicist Nicole King.
“At the same time, Garner is juggling raising her 2-year-old daughter Violet and her marriage to actor Ben Affleck. She’s constantly learning the lines for one project while working on another, never forgetting her competing roles as mother, wife and celebrity.”
