Bennifer version 2.0 was in town this weekend stumping for Barack Obama. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner hosted a sold out party at Rumor’s night club on Sunday night. Affleck, who first met Senator Obama in 2004 when Boston hosted the Democratic National Convention, has become a fan of the Senator’s and feels he’s the right man for the job. While Ben seemed to have done most of the talking and schmoozing for the evening, Garner stayed in the background. She’s been in town filming Ghosts of Girlfriends Past with a fully clothed Matthew McConaughey.

Jen and Matt aren’t the only ones in town filming; Kate Hudson has come back to Boston to film Bride Wars with Anne Hathaway. Martin Scorsese is in Boston till June filming, Ashecliffe with Leonardo DiCaprio and Sir Ben Kingsley. And everyone’s favorite man crush, Ryan Reynolds, will be filming The Proposal with Sandra Bullock. So don’t say we didn’t warn you.

If you’ve been suddenly been bitten by the acting bug since all of these movies have started to go into production, check out Boston Movie Extra Blog for everything you wanted to know, and maybe we’ll be seeing you on the big screen.

Finally, we at Bostonist would like to say congratulations to Dropkick Murphys for another successful marathon St. Patrick’s Day weekend concert schedule.
