  • The Inquirer had this caption under a new black & white shot of Affleck & Lopez on Friday — If anyone’s got a scan of that, send it in!
“Jersey Girl” comes to Queen Village as Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez shoot a scene for the movie at Famous 4th Street Deli. Decorated with Santas and menorahs for a holiday-season setting, the deli, at Fourth and Bainbridge Streets in South Philadelphia, last night was the stand-in for a New York diner.

Holiday setting, eh? Another small piece of the puzzle is revealed. Though the film is spanning several years, we’re not sure exactly when the holiday scene(s) will take place.

  • For those of you who can get CN8 on your cable systems (areas of NJ, PA, DE and so forth), the channel is re-running the Alliance of Neighbors Benefit Concert from last year that Kevin hosted, TONIGHT at 8 PM.
  • In this week’s edition of Entertainment Weekly, Kevin is quoted as saying that he had the hots for “Sister Anne Louise in the third grade.” He also gets a very small nod in this article on Samurai Jack from EW.
  • Tonight, Comedy Central is running all four episodes of Contest Searchlight, the Project-Greenlight like parody show. If you missed the first part with Chasing Amy’s Dwight Ewell playing a contestant, you can catch it tonight. The mini-marathon starts at 8 PM EST.
  • We’re still staying away form the fear of getting addicted, but the Hollywood Stock Exchange is now trading Jersey Girl stock in their ongoing game. If you’re interested, get on over there and invest some virtual dollars, it’s free (but again, we warn, addictive!).
  • The flick “Comic Book Villains” has a Clerks reference in it within the first 10 minutes — A bunch of comic book geeks are hanging around a comic store, and one of the patrons has a black “Clerks” t-shirt on.
  • Those of you following what Brad Meltzer’s up to with Green Arrow now that Kevin’s left the book — Here’s a couple reviews of the newly-released issue #16 — HERE and HERE.
  • Jason Lee was spotted at the Beck show in LA the other night. The story with the mention is online right HERE.
  • IGN is running a poll you can titled “WHAT CANCELLED TV SERIES SHOULD GET A VIDEO GAME NEXT?”. Clerks: TAS is on the list and currently winning the poll. A Clerks video game sure would be a blast.
  • And finally, the OTHER film called “Jersey Girl” (the allegedly very BAD one from years back) is apparently airing later tonight on the BBC in the UK .
