The Flyers play their last game at the Spectrum on Saturday. Sigh.

>>> In case you’ve been living under a rock, keeping an eye on the Russians that you can see from your house in Alaska, you probably already that Milton Street got 30 months for tax evasion. Which is actually a misnomer, because what he really got 30 months for was being a crazy asshole. It [...]

Sarah Palin might know how to hide a baby bump or an ex-relative or, let’s face it, a nest of lies inside one of those tacky scrunch-clips, but here in Philadelphia, she stuck out like a sore thumb — albeit one that couldn’t hitch a ride out of here if it tried — all weekend [...]

FRIDAY:
>>> Be careful if you peep that Wreckless Eric clip at right. It just may lead you down a YouTube and DVD wormhole of deeply English, rain-and-cigarettes masterworks such as The Young Ones, Withnail & I, and the next thing you know, it’s Sunday night and you’re still watching Father Ted and old episodes of [...]

RECOMMENDED: We’re very curious about Miracle At St. Anna, Spike Lee’s World War II movie which also seems to framed as both a mystery/thriller as well as a score-settler for veterans of color who’ve been left out of the WWII story as told by Hollywood. Why? Because all except for that last bit, this does [...]

Due to unforeseen circumstances, tonight’s Mary J Blige concert at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, NJ has been postponed until Sunday, October 5th. Fans can hold onto their tickets, as all tickets for today’s show will be honored for the rescheduled performance.

How is it that we only just discovered Philly’s own Tigerman®?

Okay, so, we’ve gotten a bunch of mail this morning from people wanting to know just what exactly is going on with this Sarah Palin at the Irish Pub thing, whether or not there is an official protest happening, and so on. So how about we do this: We tell you what we know, and [...]

GOMEZ: Holy shit, you just slapped me!
W. WILSON GOODE JR.’S COUSIN: No I didn’t. I put my hand up and you ran into it.
ALL IN UNISON:

Can you hear something that W. Wilson Goode Jr.’s Cousin and Claudia Gomez are trying to think about? Send it along to tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

The elephant in the room this last week or so in local real estate circles surely must be, “What the hell is going to happen to all of these new buildings slated to go up?” For plenty of developers with buildings and new projects already in the construction phase, a certain kind of fate is [...]

I want you to ask this question to yourself as though you may have just found a wart down there, or your mother-in-law in your living room. Because like many of these kinds of questions, not even Media Professionals seems to know the answers. In today’s requisite Palin-is-here-WTF piece in the Daily News, we learn [...]

>>> I’m guessing with this wonderfully bleak fall weather, you probably don’t need much encouragement to stay in this evening. But I’d be remiss if I didn’t tell you that a Mad Men marathon is starting on AMC at 4pm and running until 11 or so. Just saying.
>>> However, I’ve also been checking out this [...]

· Crafties, Etsy-ers, silkscreeners, designers and their fans might all want to mark their calendars for Sunday, October 19: That’s when the Philadelphia Sewing Collective presents Swap-O-Rama-Rama Philadelphia at Old Pine Community Center. Billed as “a recycled DIY extravaganza,” SORR is a hybrid of swap meet, made to order DIY jam, and good old craft [...]

What you really have to love about our nation’s professional athletes is how willing they are to give back to us, the fans. Take our good friend, Philadelphia excommunicate Terrell Owens. Here’s a guy not afraid to tackle the big issues. He took one look at America’s middling energy drink market and declared, “We must [...]

>>> Who knew W. Wilson Goode Jr. was just so, so batshit crazy? Here is, telling the Inky not to tell him what to do. Which is basically just one or two insane chess moves from our favorite Jerry Springer defense of all time: “Y’all don’t know me! Y’all don’t know how I LIVE!” Meanwhile, [...]

For as long as you and I have been drunk, the Irish Pub on Walnut Street has been synonymous with “asshole.” So long, in fact, that there are old wives’ tales about the bar’s centrifugal force making it a sort of cosmic magnet for assholery of every dimension seen in the human parade. So let’s [...]

Think about this for a minute, as we go forth into this mess: There was a time when local news personalities actually reflected, and yes, interacted, with the people they were broadcasting to. Jim O’Brien may have been a native Texan, but for the last 13 years of his life, he worked his way up [...]

THE 700 LEVEL: We know you have your personal blog [...] but do you read any other blogs?
DONOVAN MCNABB: Do I read any other blogs? I don’t. Because mine is so hot.
First the Vitamin Water ads, now the blog thing. If you can count football tights as skinny jeans, McNabb is a confirmed hipster. Or [...]

So, let’s not upset AP by cutting and pasting, and just tell you very simply: Someone forgot to put away the hot dog supplies for the Phillie Phanatic’s hot dog shooter thing before the game last night, and it turns out that, if you wrap up a bunch of hot dogs in white paper [...]
