New Philly Apple Dashboard Widget As Gross And Sad As The City Itself

Monday, December 5th, 2005

This cheesesteak-styled widget un-proudly informs you how long it has been, up to the second, since either the Flyers, Phillies, Sixers or Eagles won a championship. Currently Philadelphia has the longest drought of any city in North America that has all four major sports.
Somewhere, Richie Ashburn is crying.

Special Report: Lady Sovereign, The Aftermath

Monday, December 5th, 2005

Editor’s note: After last Thursday’s debacle-riffic Lady Sovereign show, we heard from just about every county. Something about the Lady’s non-performance seemed to push buttons left and right. What follows, then, is a compilation of what came in over the transom in the wake of one of the more hilarious onstage meltdowns we’ve ever witnessed. [...]

Penn Drops “Thought Crime” Charges Against Mr. Right Place, Right Time

Friday, December 2nd, 2005

The University of Pennsylvania drew the curtains on the Rear Window affair yesterday, dropping a sexual-harassment complaint against a student who photographed the bare backside of another student as she and her paramour apparently had sex in full view of the street below.

Dear Philebrity,

I would kindly like to ask for two hours of my life back. Now, usually your taste is impeccable. Tonight, however, was a miss. I stood in line for an hour later than I expected (show was at 10, doors didn’t open until 10:50) and the artist bitched out after 5 minutes.
