J-Roll, indeed!

Cameras for MTV's Cribs toured the Gloucester County house of Jimmy Rollins, and the Phillies shortstop seems proudest of his king-size bed.

Which vibrates.

"That's a great place to make the magic happen," he says, grinning and sounding like a most valuable playa.

The eight-minute segment, whose premiere date has not been announced, also shows his formal dining room, where he talks of feeding 32 for Thanksgiving, and his kitchen, which he says "actually gets used." He opens the fridge, which has a Phillies calendar on it, and the camera zooms in on a bottle of Wawa lemonade tea, of which he speaks highly.

In the family room, we see his girlfriend, Johari Smith, and his two Akitas, Kato and Kenja. Downstairs, teammate Ryan Howard and two other guys are shooting pool on a red-covered pool table decorated with Rollins' No. 11 and oversize autograph. On the wall is a gold record from Boyz II Men; Rollins, who also has a townhouse in Tampa, Fla., bought the four-bedroom in late 2004 from Michael McCary, the Boyz' former bass singer.

Outside, Rollins offers up a spa and pool - complete with a waterfall topped by a thingie that creates a fine mist - and his cars, a Benz (a CLS 55 Carlsson) and a Bentley Continental Flying Spur. You won't know he's in the Bentley. He arranged special tinting "because I like to go incognito."

Speaking of cribs

Bonfield, a lavish estate on 24 acres in Bryn Mawr, went on the market nearly three years ago for $12.5 million.

Owner Hilary Grinker Musser, 42, an interior designer and a former wife of tech entrepreneur Warren "Pete" Musser, now 81, said she had a buyer but the deal eventually fell through.

Now remarried to real-estate broker Tom Bishop and living in Palm Beach, Fla., Grinker Musser will try a different sales method:

The gavel.

At 11 a.m. April 19, Accelerated Marketing Group of Newport Beach, Calif., and the Main Line Realtor who goes by Linda "Z" will auction it off. Bidding will open at $3 million; reserve is $6 million.

"It's a real steal at 6," said Grinker Musser, who lives half the year on Nantucket.

The main house has 7,400 square feet. The guest house alone has three bedrooms and a gym with indoor pool, spa and sauna. The master bedroom paneling, which she bought through Christie's, once hung in William Henry Vanderbilt's apartment in New York. The wallpaper in the dining room was hand-painted in China, she said. There's a tennis court under a bubble for year-round use. The caretaker's office has its own washer and dryer.

"We probably had 10 or 12 [million] invested in it," she says. "Literally every square inch has been renovated. I don't think I ever stopped working on it."

Weekend open houses (710 Sproul Rd., Bryn Mawr) are scheduled noon to 2:30 p.m. April 5, 6, 12 and 13. The auction is noon to 2 p.m. April 19.

TV notes

Two local TV stations are stepping up their Web presence. CBS3 has hired Nicole Brewer, a former Miss Pennsylvania (2005), as the first local TV reporter working primarily on a Web site (CBS3.com) and as a contributor to CW Philly's morning news. Brewer's last stop was at WLVT in Bethlehem, Pa.

Fox29's 10 p.m. news tomorrow will include a segment called "Kerri-Lee TV," in which Kerri-Lee Halkett will focus on how the local blog/Internet community covers the news of the day.

Local productions

The Greater Philadelphia Film Office predicts a $10 million economic impact from the flick The Dream of the Romans, which starts a 25-day shoot tomorrow in Center City; iDeal Partners Film Fund plans to spend more than 80 percent of the budget in Pennsylvania, qualifying it for the state's film-tax credits. Writer/director John Hindman's first feature stars Jeff Daniels (The Squid & The Whale), Lauren Graham (Gilmore Girls), Lou Taylor Pucci (the Philly-shot Explicit Ills), Olivia Thirlby (Leah in Juno) and Philly's Kat Dennings (ER, CSI).

The Colbert Report carries much clout. In Thursday's column, I described how the Philadelphia Eagles agreed to move cheerleader tryouts from the Annenberg Center, which wanted to accommodate the Comedy Central show for four days, April 14 to 17. Also bumped was the Paul Taylor Dance Company, one of Dance Celebration's hottest tickets, which had to reschedule four performances and two outreach activities April 17 to 19. New dates are June 5 to 7.

Briefly noted

CN8 Your Morning production assistant Tom LeClair, 25, marked National Proposal Day on Thursday by popping the question to his girlfriend of two years, Leslie Omohundro, 24 - live on the show, of course - at the Michener Museum in Doylestown.

Former Philadelphia schools head Paul Vallas, now in New Orleans, will be at Cabrini College in Radnor on Friday as the opening speaker of a two-day symposium for educators on "Opportunities and Challenges in 21st Century Education."

John Lithgow will narrate three performances of the Pennsylvania Ballet's premiere of Christopher Wheeldon's Carnival of the Animals, a coproduction with the Houston Ballet Foundation. He'll do the June 6 opening night, plus the noon and 8 p.m. performances on June 7. Houston's Paul Hope will finish the run.

The Denver Nuggets' Allen Iverson pit-stopped in Atlantic City Thursday with his mother, aunt and sister after playing the Sixers on Wednesday. He was in a buying mood at the Bernie Robbins Fine Jewelers shop inside the Trump Taj Mahal, and walked out with gifts for all three and a watch for himself.
