Just how cold, calculating, and precise does one have to be to divide a woman’s body into eight trash bags and dispose of them along the highway in four separate counties? In Stroudsburg, Pa, an unidentified woman has been hacked to pieces, many of which state police believe they have not found yet. While it’s [...]

· So as we noted yesterday, Philebrity moved into its new HQ (top secret, don’t ask) and as such, we didn’t cook. But for people who were supposed to be moving, we sure did eat a lot. For lunch, after we dropped off a bunch of donations at Philly AIDS Thrift (we were considering dropping [...]

I’m hearing a lot of rumors that Philadelphia Style is about to be sold to Niche Media. You’ve probably heard the same things, too. Niche Media is that Jason Binn behomith that started Capitol File in DC when DC Style came out (and killed DC Style). He was also rumored to be starting a magazine [...]

We know, we know, but we can’t help going back to the well with cop messageboard Domelights every time something goes down inside the Philadelphia Police Department: It may be the only way us citizens can get a read on what cops are really thinking at any given moment.

Buried at the back of Steve Klinge’s review of Saturday night’s Super Furry Animals show at the Starlight, comes this bit:
A Canadian quartet with an unprintable name opened with a set of frenetic dance-oriented instrumental grooves that mixed bumping techno rhythms and pulsing Krautrock with swirling dub reggae effects that recalled the late, lamented Tackhead [...]

My inbox is like a bottomless pocket of the finest golden SEPTA tokens to ever produce the sound of clinking change. One email in particular wants to take me the extra mile, to employment at Comcast. It seems that there is an opening there, and not just any opening. Have you ever wanted to be [...]

NJ Legislator Wants Law to Finger Beer Keg Purchasers
Can we focus on the headline, appreciate the use of “finger” there? No, we can’t, because we like to read. Check this nugget.

We’ve been waiting on a new water-billing system for 20 years. What we got instead was….the past 20 years that featured everything from flaky Wi-Fi proposals to the Disney Hole until the city’s major theme was: We’ll Get It Done…Someday. Well, this is kind of that day, and get used to it. Dude Mayor puts [...]

>>>So, one time, in a club, someone came over to us and said
“Hey, YOU, don’t write anything bad about Adam Sparkles.”
And we’re not sure that we ever have. But it was like a curse, and we’ve been on board the Sparkles train ever since. That’s why we geeked out when Adam sent us [...]

It’s been a blessed long while since we’ve given a passing thought to deposed supervillain Rick Santorum, who still pops his head up occasionally to vent in his divisive Inky column The Elephant In The Room, home to the most unintentionally funny graphics you’ll find in a major American newspaper (see left).

The perennial nice girl in this town’s nonstop low-blow battle between newscasts, traffic reporter Dorothy Krysiuk is beloved for being pretty much the anti-Alycia Lane. Seriously: The craziest she seems to get at a party is dressing as a cartoon matriarch. That placid persona makes her a rarity in gossip columns, but as Dan [...]
