He does seem to have his, erm, daddies’ eyes. Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

Beijing: Ethnic Park Protest – Aug. 13, 2008 from Students for a Free Tibet on Vimeo. You may know Brian Conley and Jeffrey Rae from their much-noted video blog, Alive In Baghdad, which compiles weekly video feeds from Iraqi citizen journalists on topics related to daily life in present-day Iraq. Or, chances are, you may [...]

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 [...]

Stereolab‘s Chemical Chords is out today, and to celebrate, we’ll be listening to the whole record at 222 Gallery at 222 Vine St. in Old City from 6 to 8 pm TONIGHT. Come down: We’ll have drinks, posters, vinyl, CDs and — this just in — two pairs of tickets to see Stereolab on October [...]

The reborn Evening Bulletin has always rather been on the absurd side of ridiculous. We guess since the Inquirer hasn’t come packaged with the hearts of Communists (we would eat them to gain our enemies’ strength) since the Annenberg years, there hasn’t been enough red meat journalism (read: saber-rattlers who haven’t been to war, say, [...]

There’s this big article today in the Inquirer about the Tyler School of Art finally moving its lazy ass from Elkins Park down to the main campus after twenty years of dithering. This should be good for Temple, because art kids, while sometimes ultra-irritating, tend to give a bit of a spark to their surroundings. [...]

Reminder to the cosmos: There was a time when Madge would have been happy to get a gig on a local teen dance show.

For the last few years, The Philadelphia Live Arts Festival & Philly Fringe has been undergoing an effort to sort of re-invent itself: As the Fest moves into its second decade (the first one was back in 1997), its audience has gotten older, competition with other events has gotten stiffer, and currently, a recession looms [...]

But we’d still like to know how this would be any different from any other Friday night at McFadden’s. [KYW]

“Now listen, Joe. So far, that CNN intern we paid off to ‘accidentally’ say that I picked Evan Bayh has everybody saying that dude is way too milquetoast, which is interesting, but Time and ABC are still pointing to you, but then other people still think it’s this Haine guy all the way IT IS [...]

Let’s get this straight, once and for all: Philebrity wholeheartedly supports any and all laws banning the use of cell phones in automobiles. There’s just too many assholes out on the road, and most non-native drivers on the streets of Philadelphia can’t be trusted anyway. But we have a novel idea: How about City Council [...]

This, Ladies and Gentrificationmen, is currently slapped on the window of the old Global Thrift at Front and Girard. Holy moly, that’s a big space, bub! You can fit a lotta bar in there, no? Maybe even some music? Developing…

You know, were it not for Steve Coogan, the site you’re reading now may not exist. (Well, there was also that bit about all the print outlets in town botching their websites for years at a time, but that, friends, is a story for another time.) Because after all, it’s Coogan’s portrayal of Tony Wilson [...]

And it’s a “Do”-ozy.

Once in a blue moon, someone will ask that we fax something to them. Usually, we stare at them for about five beats, say yes because we don’t know what else to say, and never, ever send the fax. During those five beats, we’re silently meditating on the topic: Who uses a fax? We now [...]

It’s no secret that we here at Philebs love us some Joe Biden, and oh, let us count the reasons why: He’s the only person we can think of who is smarmier than ourselves, he’s East-Coast Direct in that way that finally makes it clear that people from other parts of the country are simply [...]

Did you ever wish you could find out what your high school sweetheart was doing, only to then go ahead and find out that he/she is miserable/has fugly spouse and/or kids/has done nothing to push forward the progress of humanity? Well, this is a problem we’ve never encountered with Sweeney’s high school GF, Tricia Mueller, [...]

We don’t have a product line to speak of. Our services business has foundered since its half-thought-out inception, and our mainframe customer base is eroding more rapidly than investor confidence in CEO Joey “Nero Brooks” McGrath. Neverending rounds of “restructuring” and layoffs over the past decade have engendered deep regional distaste for our corporate brand [...]
