In the latest chapter, ol’ Dickie Barnes spins in his grave yet again, as his henchmen among the living consider putting all them purty paintin’s ACROSS THE STREET from The Philadelphia Museum of Art. Who knew it would be so hard to buy up all the paintings in the world and keep them in a [...]

Perhaps spurred on by yesterday’s Inky story on which intersection was truly at the center of the city, the geniuses over at NBC10 are running a poll on what exactly are the most dangerous intersections in town. The comedic potential is staggering here, so vote early and often. Myself, I’ve always had trouble at the [...]

Well, I guess you’re nobody in this town until you get clowned. We have it on good authority that this is the handiwork of these these guys. Dudes: So not cool. Note to readers: This will only be funny to you if you love Philebrity and have a thorough knowledge of, like, every post we’ve [...]

1. Anytime MJ mentions “the North,” drink once and hug the person next to you.
2. Can you spy Swanky Bubbles? Drink twice for even knowing what that place looks like, you fucking dork.
3. Anytime an ad for the new season of Viva La Bam is shown, drink once and shout, “Honissly dawg? Eye [...]

Well, it finally happened: The Inky uttered the neighborhood that dare not speak its name. In a puffy/confused piece on how Real World Philadelphia has issued a clarion call to the homosexuals of the world that our dirty old town is great for man-love on the run, there it is: “gayborhood.” In quotes. Other [...]

We’ll say it right now: Honestly, we have no use for the football here at Philebrity. So we’re going to give it to you straight. Sooner or later — and we’re guessing sooner — the Iggles are gonna choke. Big time. Why? Because that’s what Philly teams do. So in the interest of softening the [...]

In which The Mellow Legend returns with his monthly acid-folk wigout at Johnny Brenda’s. What’s on tap for tonight?

Because we know we are. See you back here on Monday. Thanks to everybody who helped with our first week!

We love Amanda Kimmell. Really, we do. She’s a sassy broad, she does good work for Concerts For Kerry/Concerts for Change, and like Otis The Town Drunk, she’ll always give you a sip of her paper-bag whine. But good God almighty, she is one crazy bitch. In the latest episode, she gets all up in [...]

When we last heard from expat comedy duo Tim And Eric, they were dutifully prepping their new show Tom Goes To The Mayor for Adult Swim, with assists from the Mr. Show cats and even Jack Black. But man, does it feel creepy to get fowarded a link from L.A. Craigslist in which they are [...]

>>>Go see Audible, the new dark horse contenders for Philly indiesoft legendry. Helmed by ex-Matt Pond sideman Mike Kennedy, Audible’s sound falls squarely into the Rainer Maria/Pinback side of things, except softer, more pillowy, more… Vicodinish. Anyhow, as a little taster for their forthcoming full-length debut on Polyvinyl, check out the release party for their [...]

He’s white! He likes beer! Lives in the Northeast! And according to one source, “yes, probably does wear Dockers.” Stay tuned.

Karamo Convices The Capitol Years To Question Their Sexuality
“So we all know that The Capitol Years are MTV whores, following the use of their song in commercials for The Sunday Stew (and their tour van truly is pimped, by the way). Last night, they proved why Carson Daley hand-picked them for several appearances on his [...]

You know you still love him. Shut up.

It was only a few days ago that some friends were sitting around at the O.G. Continental for brunch, when one of us opined: Jesus Christ, what’s with all the butterfaces they have staffing this place these days? It’s true: Time was, you had to be like ungodly put-together to even be pushing the crumb [...]

Don’t know how we missed this, but it’s awesome. Dude from 103.9 The Beat gets nabbed for identity theft, gives shout-outs to his homies Jail and Stupid. What up!
Dan Gross: He’s Got A Face For Radio. Wonder What They’ll Use It For In Jail!

Here’s the thing about Lit And Whimsy, PW’s spankin’ new foray into the seldom-pulled-off realm of putting cute alt-weekly writers in front of people and forcing them to entertain: You want to hate it. You really do. But the first one was good, and Tuesday’s second installment was, against all odds, a friggin’ blockbuster. Great [...]

The story’s been circling around for days, so it’s good that there’s finally an obit out there. In case you hadn’t heard, artist Rebecca Westcott died in an accident last week near Hartford, CT. Along with her husband, the artist Jim Houser, Westcott was one of the more sublime and instantly recognizable Space 1026-ers. That [...]

Only here, folks: Some six-pack GOP dolt in the Norfeast was making these at home, and puttin’ up all over hill and dell. Til the Specter campaign caught him and got all like WTF on his ass. Hey, he’s at least half right.
