All the local news outlets went nutty over Ben Affleck at the Boston premiere of Gone Baby Gone. They were especially tickled that Matt Damon showed up, too. Of course they both said they would sneak out so they wouldn't miss the Red Sox game.

Affleck is on a real hearts-and-minds mission. On Tuesday, he went to City Hall and joined Mayor Menino to help the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) unionize hospital employees. Serious expressions are looking good on Affleck's face these days.

--And Bono was in town to talk with a mortgage convention. Are they sure it wasn't Pavel the Bono Impersonator?
