FOR AFFLECK, THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME FOR HOLIDAYS.Byline: Marilyn Beck & Stacy Jenel Smith Ben Affleck is heading home to Boston to spend Christmas and New Year's Eve with family and childhood friends. It's been a while since he's had much time to spend in Bean Town, what with his career keeping him so busy in Hollywood. Last month, Ben finished a starring stint in the big-screen ``Bounce.'' And he and buddy Matt Damon have just finished producing their first movie, ``The Third Wheel,'' in which they did bit parts, and in which Denise Richards and Luke Wilson starred. Gwyneth Paltrow, who co-starred with Ben in ``Bounce,'' doesn't yet know what she'll be doing for the holidays. Wouldn't be surprised if she ends up in Boston. Keeping `Score' Meanwhile, Ben is starting ``The Score'' with Robert DeNiro in Montreal in March. There's been talk that Affleck will step into ``The Wedding Planner,'' in place of Brendan Fraser, who has done a bow-out. But he'd have to do it fast. The picture is slated to roll in late January or early February. If Ben can't squeeze it into his schedule, we hear Matthew Broderick and Matthew McConaughey are also being sounded out about starring. And Jennifer Lopez, already set for ``The Wedding Planner,'' is currently wrapping ``The Cell'' with Vince Vaughn and is now confirmed to make ``Angel Eyes'' in May. The latter comes after a lengthy negotiation with producers of the Luis Mandoki-directed drama, in which Jennifer will play a police officer with a history of sexual abuse. She'll reportedly be pocketing $7.5 million for the gig. It's a big `Town' Warren Beatty's ``Town & Country,'' which went into production early in the year, has ended up nearly doubling its budget of $44 million. The pic, directed by Diane Keaton, was supposed to have been released by now, but the word from New Line at the moment is that it will hit screens some time in the fall of 2000. Hurry up with that They're doing round-the-clock post-production on ``Millennium Man'' - the Dec. 17-airing, UPN UPN User Principal Name (Microsoft Windows 2000) UPN United Paramount Network UPN Unión del Pueblo Navarro (Navarrese People Union) UPN Umgekehrte Polnische Notation tele-pic from Glen Larson, the producer who gave us ``The Six Million Dollar Man.'' The movie/series pilot was expected to hit the air sometime in January, but was moved up about a week ago. ``It'll be wet, but I think we'll make it - I hope without any cards saying `add effect here,' '' he laughs. Larson tells us ``Millennium Man'' bears little resemblance to its '70s predecessor, partly because technology has zoomed forward exponentially, and partly because Larson, who wrote ``Millennium Man,'' put it into the hands of Bradford May to direct, and he ``gave it a very different, contemporary feel.'' Larson also makes it clear that ``Millennium Man'' bears little resemblance to the CBS-Eric Close series, ``Now and Again'' - though both properties involve heroes with high-tech superbodies. Interestingly, he notes, both are also Paramount projects. ``At UPN and Paramount, the feeling was that with different producers treating our material very differently, there was room for both. Ours is a heavy action-oriented piece, dark, quirky and sinister, and it's a chase.
