NEW IN THEATERS THIS WEEK: Honestly, we had every intention of hating The Love Guru but when push came to shove… we just couldn’t. Yes, there are more penis/fart jokes in it than a class trip to the proctologists’, and yes, it certainly feels like there’s a lot of recycled Austin Powers shit in here, [...]

Just a quick snapshot of Karin’s show last month in Old City.

Since we picked up and moved the Philebrity HQ to Fishtown nearly a year ago, one of the things we’ve been maddeningly infuriated by on a daily basis is the Choad Class’ cavalier attitude towards littering here. Old people do it. Young kids do it. People driving their cars while beating their kids, talking on [...]

>>> In a word, no. Most days, we distinctly do not lament our decision a few years back to turn on, tune in and drop out of the Rock Critic Elite, but when the momjeans of local blogs comes around and starts saying that not a lot of great music has been made in the [...]

· This has to be groundbreaking news of some sort: Instead of paying fresh-out-of-college kids to knock off crunchy-ish alt-designer Steven Alan, Urban Outfitters has done the unthinkable and actually partnered with the dude. Ooooh, Johnny Cupcakes must be soooooo salty right now. [NYMag] · Four people in Media may or may not have stolen $1M [...]

Wonder if he’s looking for his horses?

>>> You’ll have to forgive us, we didn’t know. We had no idea that VH1′s Miss Rap Supreme was the kind of gooey, sticky reality crap we gorge on all the time. We just never noticed. But now that there’s some kind of taping for it tonight at Fluid with MC Chiba, we’re on it. [...]

You’ve read the press releases, you’ve seen the lineups, you made the commercial, now, it’s time for you to actually go to the second annual Popped! Philadelphia. And we’re gonna help you. We’ve got five pairs of three-day passes to give away — that’s tickets to the whole shebang — and we’re gonna give em [...]

How many times has a sweaty, coke-addled friend called you at 5pm on a Friday and asked you the following? “PEOPLE CAN WE PLEASE RIDE IN A LIMO WITH A STRIPPER POLE AND TWO DJS AND A BUNCH OF COMPLETE STRANGERS PLEASE?” We know, it hurts. The uncomfortable silences. The olive branch that you offer [...]

Are you obsessed with newspapers, blogs, magazines and the Internets? [1] Do you wake up in the middle of the night wondering how Brian Tierney is going to make it all work? [2] Do you want to know what Arianna Huffington [3] thinks about when she brushes her teeth? If so, we want you to [...]

There are widespread myths that likely started with a sole critique years ago that caught fire and took off like popular slang. A perfect example of what I’m talking about is that Coldplay is like U2. Please let’s understand this is not what’s up. U2 is like a resurgent country. Coldplay is a more like [...]

Representing With Kyle is our new show where host Kyle Andrews just walks up to people and starts talking with them about what they’re wearing and what their personal style vibe is. In this episode, Kyle meets Andre, a singer/actor/raconteur who we almost love as much as Sammy. (You have to meet Sammy.) On a [...]

>>> Why is someone playing Dig Dug on the inside walls of the Comcast Sex Toy? Anyone? [YouTube] >>> Lay down your weary tune, people of Merion: Your fight to keep the Barnes Foundation is at long last over. We were kind of feeling you on that one, but whatever. Free Monets for everybody! [Inky] [...]

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police say some students who moved out of an apartment near the University of Pennsylvania cleared it out down to the bare bones. An assistant manager who cleaned up found a human skull on the kitchen counter. You know, the thing about the whole Penn Kids thing is, they’re so committed to [...]

And now, the best (actually, only) things we’ve heard about last night’s R.E.M. show at the Mann: · Eddie Vedder got up and guested on “Begin The Begin.” [Photo courtesy PhillyEdge] · Johnny Marr got up and played guitar on “Fall On Me.” · “God that was the most boring show of my life.” — Friend [...]

It’s often said that there are only ever a few good ideas circulating in the ether at any given time, but how can you account for a small group of people in close proximity having the same bad idea over and again? Is this like some M. Night-ish Happening shit, where instead of people being [...]

>>> As a service to our readers who’ve not listened to a new record since 1986, we just checked for y’all’s, and R.E.M. at the Mann is not sold out… but it’s close, so get on that if you’re tryin’. Meanwhile, Rickie Lee Jones does her residency thing at the Painted Bride. Does this chambray [...]

Geekadelphia: Someone In Palo Alto Is Rubbing Their Eyes In Disbelief

As we noted yesterday, the tale of Daniel Moffat and his Ridge Avenue Posse is one of classic Philly police clusterfuckery. But as new details emerge, and the story hits the Internet, there may wind up being a different ending than the classic one we all know in which Cops Fuck With The Kids, The [...]

Every year the Kimmel Center opens its door for an all-day and all-night celebration of the beginning of the summer, filled with a ton of performances that would never, ever occur at the Kimmel otherwise. This year they are starting the day with InLiquid’s Art for the Cash Poor outdoor art show and sale, with [...]
