Got to see some more filming tonight. Sorry I don’t have a digital camera. The lighthouse was amazing. All done up for Christmas. They were frosting the grass with something they pumped out of firetrucks. Loads of people there. Someone is bound to have some good digital shots for you.

The scene was Ben driving the BMW across the field then he and J Lo walk out in front of the car, holding hands then stop to kiss in front of the head lights.

They used some extra’s in cars to drive by the scene. It was a beautiful sight I am sure you’ll get loads of emails on it.

Affleck has a way with the babies

Someone had better make Ben Affleck a father soon.

During the local shooting of Jersey Girl, he’s been spotted kissing and cuddling more babies than a political candidate with a lifetime supply of Chapstick.

Affleck was at it again Wednesday, when he and costar Liv Tyler visited Mercy Community Outpatient Campus in Haverford to shoot a nursery scene. (It’s where Affleck’s character, Ollie, becomes a new daddy.)

Between takes, Affleck spotted little Shane Kubiak, an extra, there with his parents, John Kubiak, group events manager for Greater Philadelphia Radio Group, and Theresa Marsden, a broker’s assistant for Merrill Lynch.

“He said, ‘Can I hold him?’ ” Kubiak said. Affleck scooped Shane and baby-talked for 10 minutes. Tyler joined in, too.

Shane’s path to stardom was paved by Marsden’s sister, Fran Savastano, who works for Mike Lemon Casting of Philadelphia. Newborns were needed, and Marsden delivered on time.

Turns out that the little guy and Affleck have something in common: They were born exactly 30 years apart – Aug. 15, 1972 and 2002 – a fact that Kubiak says he forgot to mention to Affleck.

J.Lo and Affleck get chummy with fans at Delco filming

She used to think Jennifer Lopez looked kind of tough.

But all that changed for one local fan after a fleeting encounter Wednesday night in Havertown, where J.Lo and beau Ben Affleck were filming scenes for their new movie, “Jersey Girl.”

“She didn’t look tough at all. She looked more petite and soft,” said fan Joanne Alegado. “She’s really, really pretty.”

And, despite Lopez’s reputation as a demanding, if sexy, diva who travels with a staff of 100 – including hairstylists, chefs and masseuses – and requires everything in her dressing room to be white, from candles to flowers, “She was just super nice,” said Alegado.

And so much in love.

Lopez and Affleck had wrapped up filming for the night at the old Haverford Hospital on West Chester Pike when Alegado and friend Chrissy Campitelli met up with them about 11 p.m. Wednesday.

Campitelli and Alegado were among about two-dozen well-wishers who crowded around the upscale SUV that was ferrying the stars.

For their trouble, the adoring fans were able to witness a big-as-life Hollywood kiss.

“They were talking to people and they just kissed,” Alegado said. “A little kiss. Just like a little cutesy, off-the-cuff kind of kiss. It was really, really, really cool.”

“They were very lovey-dovey. Really cute together,” said Alegado, 42, who works in advertising for the Daily News.

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from her,” Campitelli, 23, who works for a Main Line catering firm, said of J.Lo. “She was really nice and down to earth.”

Campitelli said Affleck had displayed the same attitude when he signed an autograph for her that afternoon outside the hospital. He’d also gone out of his way to talk to a teen-age fan in a wheelchair and even answered a cell phone handed to him by another fan, she said.

“They were leaving for the night and they could have just driven away but they made [the driver] come over,” Campitelli said.

Both leaned out the rear window, talked and signed autographs.

They made a beautiful couple, Alegado said. “I said you’re both really gorgeous, because you look even better in person and not all celebrities do.”

Alegado said she’d been at an Oscar party in California and had seen some celebrities close up who looked “like they were laid out in a funeral home.”

Jersey Girl’ is just the ticket in Paulsboro

All it took was two magical signatures, and the Paulsboro fire companies’ white leather helmet became a prize.

Leading man Ben Affleck wrote: “All the best to the firemen, many thanks.”

To the borough’s all-volunteer companies, costar Jennifer Lopez penned: “Love to all the firemen.”

Firefighters are banking on the famous scrawls from the stars of Jersey Girl. Eventually, the chief’s helmet will be auctioned off to benefit the companies.

Over the last few weeks, the $35 million Miramax film has been pumping dollars into shops, restaurants, the police department, and the school district in one of Gloucester County’s poorest municipalities.

Paulsboro is doubling for Highlands, Monmouth County, the setting for the film and the hometown of director Kevin Smith, who made the indie hits Chasing Amy and Clerks.

Although borough buildings are free for Smith’s use, the costs needed to keep production running smoothly have begun to accrue.

Paulsboro police officers have benefited from the $40 per hour rate they earn for overtime.

During five days of shooting, about 12 officers have worked between 12 and 16 hours daily.

“They do pay the bills,” said Chief Ken Ridinger, referring to the filmmakers.

Over at the firehouse on Swedesboro Avenue, the company has been providing a place for cast and crew to chow down between takes. On one recent shooting day, production rented the hall from 5 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. The fire hall space rents for about $495 for five hours.

For use of Loudenslager Elementary School and Paulsboro High School, Jersey Girl will donate $2,000 to the district.

“Every penny is helpful,” Superintendent Frank Scambia said.

Near the schools is Hill Studio, Mayor John Burzichelli’s production company, which had also been rented as the film crew’s staging area for two days.

At Weiss True Value in Paulsboro, set dressers have routinely been patrons, purchasing items that include lightbulbs, tools and tape.

But the total impact of Jersey Girl on the borough pales in comparison to its impact on Philadelphia, where the film company is likely to spend between $10 million and $20 million.

The borough could absorb “anywhere from a few thousand to many thousands of dollars,” said Sharon Pinkenson, executive director of the Greater Philadelphia Film Office.

Several New Jersey towns have had their fair share of big-ticket movies, said Steven Gorelick, associate director of the New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission based in Newark.

Director Steven Soderbergh spent a cool $729,000 when he brought Ocean’s 11 – featuring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Julia Roberts – to Atlantic City for five days of filming.

A Perfect Murder, starring Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow, was filmed for 21 days in Jersey City, and brought $5.4 million to the area.

In Paulsboro, extra revenues have been generated by fans, some of whom are on all-day stakeouts that require them to patronize local restaurants and shops.

At Romeo’s Records in Paulsboro, Jennifer Lopez’s music has enjoyed a new and frenzied popularity with local kids.

“Anything with her picture on it, they’re buying to get autographs on,” said owner Romeo Dixon.

“This town is big in wrestling, football and this movie,” said Dixon, who sold 60 of Lopez’s CDs during a recent two-day period.

Local business leaders are encouraged by the much-needed attention borough shops are receiving.

“It’s a wonderful thing that’s happened to our town,” said Virginia Scott, president of the Greater Paulsboro Chamber of Commerce.

“It’s spotlighting our people and restaurants,” she said. “Hopefully, it will bring some people back to town.”

South Jerseyans also have a chance to mug for the cameras. Each day of shooting in Paulsboro requires between 15 and 100 extras. The Screen Actors Guild rate for extras in a feature film is $110 for an eight-hour day.

“Everybody wins,” Fire Chief Gary Stevenson said

He was the second guest, so he didn’t get much time, but he had a pretty good interview. He had a sweet t-shirt on the Conan made fun of. It had David Hasselhoff and Gary Coleman in front of Kit from Night Rider on it. They talked a little bit about Lee’s skateboarding days. And they eventually got to Stealing Harvard. Normal interview, no Askew talk. Lee still rules.
