“We met at Gullifty’s in Rosemont and kind of hooked up, but were both too drunk to do much except laugh at each other taking off clothes.” Mainliner meets Rosemonster. eBay selling of Prada bag ensues, but only after he emptied her wallet. We love this town.

· Bread Lovers, get into this: Today, we’re premiering the first in two-part video segment on Metropolitan Bakery. · Odds N sods at Monk’s! · How candy is recession proof. Chew away! · And in case you missed it, a review of the, uh, Mike Schmidt Wine. All this and more — plus the Phoodie [...]

It would seem that in lieu of the Robin Hood Dell East shutdown this year, the Mayor’s Office has gotten hella ambitious in its quest to provide bread and circus (well, mostly circus) for us here citizen’ry this summer. About two hours ago, Nutter announced a full program of City-sponsored summer outdoor activities, including a [...]

We’ll be pondering, you know, what this all means in a bit, but first, we’ve gotta go re-read Election. PhillyGossip: You’re Fired

Quietly, and often undeservedly so, award-winning photographer Jim MacMillan has been morphing into quite possibly the single best web video journalist in Philly right now. (Not that there’s a ton of competition, but still.) A lot of his clips have been somewhat buried on the Daily News website, but recently, we noticed a whole grip [...]

It’s been a little while since we checked in on the Space 1026-hatched pop-group-cum-comedy-troupe Sweatheart, but that doesn’t mean that the group has been silent. In fact, all indicators point to a newer, crazier, and yes, sweatier Sweatheart brewing. Over the weekend, the group shot a new video directed by Andrew Jeffrey Wright that would [...]

On one hand, it’s pretty much been the Bummer of the Year that old ladies who share Hillary Clinton‘s sense of wounded entitlement and young ladies who’ve got real Bobby Kennedy Fever over Barack Obama haven’t been able to meet in the bathroom of The Continental Midtown and settle this business once and for all.

In response to yesterday’s post about the disgruntled Comcast employee PowerPoint presentation (as well as, it must be said, four years’ worth of regular hateposting regarding Comcast): I work at Comcast, and I get the whole Comcast sucks thing because of the customer service issues. Sure sometimes I am treated like I work for the [...]

Hey, Philly, good morning! Why so glum, chum? Sure, you’ve got it bad, what with the murder, the humidity, and all the local news-anchor soulsuck, but look on the bright side: When’s the last time God smited you? No, we mean, really, REALLY smited you. Blogger say what? I have linked you to a list [...]

The incomparable Sergio Mendes plays the World Cafe Live tonight.

It’s been said all the way back since the advent of television that radio — good old fashioned terrestrial radio, not satellite or Internet — is in its final death rattle. If that’s true, it’s been an unbearably long, gruesome and cruel death… and it’s still going on! Or could it be that radio plays [...]

Perhaps there has been no hotter flashpoint on the Gentrification/Class Wars lately than that of dogs in bars/dog-friendly bars/bars that tolerate dogs and dog-owners. (Although luckily, we are all still in agreement that it’s perfectly fine for dogs to play poker , so long as it’s an all-dog game, and they’re only gambling with dog [...]

You know that beautiful line in “Naive Melody” by Talking Heads where he’s like ‘Oh-oh, sing into my mouth?’ Well, this is like that, except I’m BITING YOUR FACE. Can you hear something that The Pelé Of Facebiting is trying to think about? Send it along to tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

This may yet be the most valuable information we’ve ever gleaned off of a Shitty Paper honor box. Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

Saturday was National Go Skateboard Day. Here’s what some of it looked like in Philly. Keep an eye peeled for awesome footage of a kid stealing another kid’s board back for him from the po-po. And stay tuned this week for advance coverage of the Paine’s World event this Saturday. [Video credit: Brian Panebianco and [...]

Forgive us if you stumbled across this last week — this is one of the slowest news Mondays we’ve seen in some time, somebody quick send us a fly-on-the-wall report of the TLA Porn Weekend or something — but the above is a PowerPoint presentation made by a disgruntled Comcast employee. (Pray tell, are there [...]
