She's Garner be huge

by Steve Sealink

Hotter-than-the-sun babe du jour Jennifer Garner is being tipped as the next Julia Roberts.

In a catsuit.

That's the firmly-held opinion of Michael Vartan, who plays the part of Michael Vaughn opposite Garner's male-sounding, but very female- looking, Sydney Bristow in the hit Sky show, Alias.

Garner's Hollywood profile has risen dramatically since appearing in Catch Me If You Can with Leonardo DiCaprio, and especially since starring as high-kicking, leather-clad Elektra in hit big screen action caper, Daredevil.

And with a lucrative spin-off movie for the character in the pipeline, Vartan reckons the 30-year-old pillow-lipped scorcher is soaring right to the top of the Hollywood A-list.

He told Teen Hollywood magazine: "All the casting directors who didn't pick her up before Alias are probably kicking themselves now.

"She's amazing, you just cannot stop watching her. I can see her being the next Julia Roberts. I can see her winning an Oscar.

"But I can also see her three years from now saying, 'I quit' and moving to a farm somewhere and having a family, because ultimately that's the kind of person she is."

Before the farm beckons, however, Garner's way ahead of the field.
