Cute street scene Tuesday: Ben Affleck giving movie daughter Raquel Castro a ride on his shoulders, over and over again, on Walnut Street outside the Forrest Theatre. The theater was “renamed” the Zsigmond (why, just like cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond) and the prop marquee read Sweeney Todd. (The marquee not facing the cameras read The Vagina Monologues, premiering Oct. 8.)

One more Jersey Girl baby story: John and Nancy Agnew’s sons, Jaden and Jagger, were born Aug. 14. A week later, the Agnews got a call at their Northeast Philadelphia home from Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, saying that producers were shopping for newborns. Preferably two of a kind to play the title character as a baby. Two days later, the Agnews were in a trailer on the set. A knock. It was Affleck and movie wife Jennifer Lopez, who hung out for more than a half-hour. When John Agnew learned that the film baby would be a girl, “I was like, ‘This is not going to work.’ Then they put the [pink] outfits on them, and I said, ‘It’ll work.’ ”

BEN SPEAKS TO CHIO – After weeks of dogging Ben Affleck’s footsteps, court jester Diego finally got Affleck to talk live on Q-102’s “Chio in the Morning” show.

Chio was unprepared with questions because he didn’t think Diego could pull it off, what with tight security around the the star as he filmed “Jersey Girl” at the Forrest Theatre. But Diego stuck a cell phone in Ben’s hand and – voila!

Chio also was unprepared when Affleck claimed to listen to the show in the morning and promised to drop by the station in person. (Morning fem Christie nearly fainted when she heard this.)

(If he does visit, maybe Chio can ask Ben if he really dropped 100Gs at the blackjack table in Atlantic City’s Trump Marina, as the buzz is saying – but Ben’s press spokesman is not.)

CELEB SPOTTING – Actress Liv Tyler – casual in sneaks, jeans and sweater – led a party of six (including her “Jersey Girl” director Kevin Smith) to dinner at the Palm (Broad & Walnut) and picked up the $500 tab. The Lady had lobster bisque and lamb chops, The Director settled for grilled chicken breast. About $200 went for the Italian red wine she favors.
