Kate Moss Dips Into Johnny Brenda’s, Philebrity Finally Finds A Use For This Twitter Thing
For the 148 of you who were anxiously, sweatily following the Philebrity Twitter page on Saturday night: A) What is wrong with you? and B) seriously, if anybody can tell us a better use for this thing, we’re all ears. To you guys, this is sooo yesterday, BUT, for the rest of you, yes, it’s true: Kate Moss was at Johnny Brenda’s on Saturday catching her BF, Jamie Hince’s band, The Kills. (Both of whom are pictured here, which we imagine to be the next morning, debating whether they should go to Sabrina’s for brunch and agreeing that the South Philly Tap Room’s jalapeno-rubbed bacon is just naaaasty.) In any case, it’s true, she was there. We saw her with her own eyes. Observations:
· She is pixie-ish small.
· Just like us, she’s lookin’ a little rough these days.
· She was dressed head to toe in black in clothes that looked like they could have come from H&M, but you just know that her turtleneck was hand-woven by Marc Jacobs using the wool from sheep raised on dinosaur eggs.
And, overall, she seemed cool, and possibly even relieved that people did not seem to be making too much of a fuss around her and not being grotesque dicks about it. And yes, while it did occur to us to snap a pic, we refrained from doing so because we have souls. When not hanging with band and crew, Mossy spent a few moments chatting with Silk City booker Christie Proud and her fiance, Ryan Bernstein of The Cobbs, who may have a song in an upcoming ad Kate is starring in. And in case you are wondering, yes, we do realize that this is as close to Pete Doherty as we will ever get. But much like her, we’re just hanging out with you in a lame attempt to get over him that will inevitably result in us eventually dating someone just like him, but who is most decidedly NOT him. Sigh. Love stinks.

I bet you wish you had a paparazzi with you at Johnny Brenda’s. You know how much money that photo would be worth, a lot. Kate Moss does not like her photo taken, especially when snorting coke.
May 5th, 2008 at 10:13 am
We were there. We HAD cameras. What we’re saying is NO, we didn’t want to use them. It seemed… against humanity. What part of that don’t you understand?
May 5th, 2008 at 10:14 am
who cares about how much money a photograph is worth when the entire neighborhood kept it together and has the right to be proud of itself for so doing? yes, people were talking about her and saying “kate moss is here, look she’s right over there,” or whatever. and the text messages! my god! but our little neighborhood held it down besides that, stayed out of her way, and let her be a person because, oh right, that’s all she is…
May 5th, 2008 at 10:32 am
oh you guys are so cool.
May 5th, 2008 at 10:33 am
but you are all braging on Philebrity which is gossip.
May 5th, 2008 at 10:33 am
without pictures

For those of you just showing up to this: PhillyChitChat is a semi-pro papparazzo here in Philly that is very upset with Philebrity’s rejection of the TMZ-ization of American media. He also seems to suffer from a disconnect between what is “gossip,” which has a beautiful and long-standing tradition going back to Roman times, and what papparazzo does, which is soul-sucking, boring, etc., and contributes to a “gotcha!” culture that will one day lead us straight to The Rapture.

phillychitchat: anybody has as much a right to brag about the way they love and help define their neighborhood as they do the right to make douchey comments. and so you’re exercising your right to make douchey comments. i don’t have a problem with that…
May 5th, 2008 at 10:52 am
Thank you, but thats why your site was my favorite, I thought that’s what Philebrity stood for, and you told me it was about Philly Celebrities and how Philly didn’t really have any real celebrities. And by the way, I usually ask people to take their photo; paparazzi by definition is any candid shots not at an event, its not about gotcha or jumping out of bushes. I still love Philebrity. My better site is http://www.ConfessionsofaPaparazzi.com if you want to know about my photos.
May 5th, 2008 at 10:59 am
man. you really are putting the semi in semi-pro.
and ps: good to see you’re still exercising those rights. it should be mentioned that i’m not a philebrity staff member. i’m just a dude who lives in the neighborhood, calling it like i see it.
May 5th, 2008 at 11:03 am
ok, got it. Sorry for the douchy comments. I guess I just look at it differently. I wouldn’t have taken her photo without asking, and if she said no, well then that’s it. I have never taken a photo of someone without asking them. The only people who ever said no were Kem Catrell and Courtney Love, who thanked me for asking first. Later she let me shoot her. Yesterday Misha Barton was smoking, asked me not to take her photo and I didn’t. Not a big deal. I am sorry some paps have ruined the field for the rest of us.

“And, overall, she seemed cool, and possibly even relieved that people did not seem to be making too much of a fuss around her and not being grotesque dicks about it.”
So instead of celebrity-sighting-orgasm-squealing to her face, we’re spazzing out in a semi-permanent space online and speculating days later what she thought of us. I guess that makes us cool … or at least as cool as every other part of Philly Moss and bf haunted during their stopover. She was there, and folks thought that cool. That’s all. No need for a navel-gazing self-assessed A+ for good conduct around a celebrity or anything of the like. Smacks of the hipster version of corporate america doublespeak. We’re not freaking out…but let’s open the twitter floodgates, OMG.
Kinda like not talking to a girl or guy in the bar, but going into the bathroom to rub one out over said girl/guy. Even worse, when you get into the bathroom, you find a whole crew circle jerking over the person already.
I give ten minutes before we start seeing someone hawking “I saw Kate Moss at JB’s and it didn’t phase me” t-shirts. Hell, maybe the Kills can add that to their merch table so the people in Montreal, Toronto, Detroit, and Columbus know how cooler we are than them.

C. The Impaler:
i don’t know karate but i know kareepee and it’s all that shit you just wrote there bub. do people throw up around you?
May 5th, 2008 at 11:20 am
So does that mean you’re advance ordering a Large or X-Large, fuckermost?
May 5th, 2008 at 11:24 am
No no no, any size larger than an adult medium should just be labled as “Comic Book Store Guy”, or something. Wait, what?
May 5th, 2008 at 11:43 am
i couldn’t believe how tiny she was!
May 5th, 2008 at 11:55 am
So, we’re all proud of ourselves for being able to handle an NYC-level celebrity. That just seems so . . . . second city.
May 5th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
I sort of agree with John Lightstone. I’m surprised with the way the aftermath is unfolding today, and think it was handled better when say, Chloe Sevigny was here a couple weeks ago.
May 5th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
dude i don’t know why everyones trying to be all cool i don’t care if its the streets of philly, nyc or milan if i see me some moss im gonna go buck ass wild,…. not quite but would surely be star stuck and excited and there is not a damn thing wrong with that, word up….Chloe is no Kate
May 5th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
your mom saw kate moss. anyway, c. the impaler- 1)your comment was gross and i almost threw up in my mouth and 2) my baby doesn’t wear shitty t-shirts, but if he did it would probably be roomier and therefore he’d require a medium because he’s in good shape.
May 5th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Please, doozer, I can’t cancel anyone’s order unless you’re providing specific order numbers or recipient’s names. Are you talking about fuckermost? Besides, as if any Philebs reader is in denial of the inherently masturbatory nature of the internet, particularly celebrity titillation. We’ve imagined a “moment” with Moss, and this morning we tryied to keep that “touch” going, so to speak, despite the illusionary and one-sided nature of the contact. I still say memorabilia is better than staining someone’s well fitting clothes with their “pride.”

Speaking of starstruck: I saw the Mayor walking down Broad St. a couple of days before the primary. I got so excited I yelled “Alllriiight” and gave him a black power fist as he walked passed me. I have no idea why I did this. I was just trying to express my approval, a “Good job, my man. I’m behind you 100%” sentiment but I fear I might have come off like some weird, white asshole giving a black politician the black power fist. I hope he didn’t take it the wrong way. This is troubling me….
Oh yea, and death to all paparazzi scum. You motherfuckerz killed the Princess of Wales an shit.
Curses! Curssssessss!!!
May 5th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
you know what was cool about that night, The Kills.
May 12th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
wow… this is pretty much the lamest post ever and really makes you the complete stereotypical self righteous hipster.
are you seriously proud of yourself because you did not take a photo of a celebrity?
dude… you run a gossip blog - IN PHILADELPHIA ?
Its just like every other hipster in a rush to be so “uninterested” … you make me sick
