Jennifer Garner to Take 'Good Long Break' After Alias

Jennifer Garner has revealed that she is looking forward to taking some time to chill after the completion of her very popular - but cancelled TV show Alias saying it will be a 'good long break.'

Jen says she's ready for a break.

She also wants to let everyone know that the birth scene on the show is "nothing like real life."

The sexy new mom will reveal to Extra that the scene where she gives birth on the TV show was "the single most embarrassing thing I've ever done on the show.  Guys this is not what it was like for me" - she tells the crew - "turn your heads."

"It's not at all how it is in real life - it's how they expect it to see on TV. It was horrifying," she says in the interview.

Virginia Rohan reports that the Emmy-winning spy drama returns to ABC's lineup this week with a two-hour "event" that includes the birth of her agent Sydney Bristow's baby and the reappearance of the presumed-dead Michael Vaughn (Michael Vartan).

In the back-to-back episodes "S.O.S." and "Maternal Instinct," Jack (Victor Garber) calls on former agent Weiss (Greg Grunberg) and the APO team to search for Sydney after receiving a distress call from her. But Jack believes that a larger conspiracy may be in play. As the series approaches its grand finale, story lines will be tied up, and familiar faces from the past will crop up in Sydney's life.

They include Sydney's best friend, Will Tippin (Bradley Cooper); her mother, Irina Derevko (Lena Olin); and nemeses Julian Sark (David Anders) and Anna Espinosa (Gina Torres). (8 p.m. Wednesday, ABC)

That means 'Lost' will take yet another break.  Sigh.
