AFTER THE JUMP, Philebrity will be embedding Hulu’s stream of FOX’s inauguration coverage, which should be pretty fucking funny. We’ll also have MSNBC‘s when it becomes available. Will the Internet break today?

Good? Good. So are we. Looking good, feeling good. And if you’ve not yet read Vanity Fair‘s excellent “Farewell to All That: An Oral History of the Bush White House,” no time like the present, bud. We’re gonna be liveblogging at National Mechanics in Old City from 11AM onward, and today, we wanna hear from [...]

We leave you today with this.

Pardon us: When we posted about Gregg Foreman’s new band, The Rare Birds, on Friday, we didn’t mention the other Rarebirds here in Philly, because we honestly believed they had disbanded and we didn’t wanna confuse you with all of these rare, birdy bands. But apparently, God DOES want to confuse you. So let’s be [...]

Let’s say you want to catch a co-worker in the old “He/She Who Dealt It, Smelt It” ruse. This is assuming you still have a job, of course. You could go out and get a whoopie cushion and roll the dice, hoping that the object of your fartjokeitude doesn’t see the massive red rubber balloon [...]

Brand spanking new clip for Philly shoegaze band Ports Of Call. Track goes exceedingly well with the snow currently falling outside your window.

Our friend Chris Gabello just sent us this photo he took yesterday during that insanely overindulgent HBO thing. We’ll have some more Gabello photos over the next day or so, but on a related note: Since Amtrak is booked solid and we have an irrational fear of history-making crowds, Philebrity will be liveblogging Inauguration Day [...]

Well, it’s nice to see that at least some of us still take this whole “World Fucking Champions” thing seriously. While the rest of us were spending all last week pondering a choke of a decidedly non-sexual variety, Philly-based porn star Stoya picked up the “Best New Starlet” at the AVN Awards in Las Vegas. [...]

Oh, hi! Happy Martin Luther King Day! We debated long and hard about whether we should be posting today — like, are we not serving the memory of the man correctly if we toil today? — but then we realized that if you’re reading this, you are probably stuck in a cubicle somewhere because the [...]

Aw, c’mon, don’t make that face, buddy. You didn’t really think a bad Mormon dad and a bunch of 400-pound linebackers represented you, did you? I mean, look on the bright side: · Philebrity doesn’t have to post about football until the annual Eagles leg-hump heats up again next January! · Desperate men are using the [...]

FRIDAY: >>> It’s beginning to Depression all over again! First of all, whatever you do, bundle up and carry a flask or, if you are an existentialist, a charming and rakish wine skin like this one, available on some weird Amazon store. Then, go to Pig Iron Theater’s In-Hog-Ural Ball Benefit at the Trocadero, the [...]

RECOMMENDED: We should have known it last week, when Bride Wars leaked out like an old lady fart that didn’t even know anybody else could smell it: This is an absolutely fantastic time for utter shite in the theaters. To wit: Hotel For Dogs, a movie so simple in its premise that the whole movie [...]

Real talk: Jerry Blavat inspires us on a daily level more than you could ever know. Hyperbole? Pfft. No way. When you consider the Philebrity Business Model Hero Structure — Andrew Loog Oldham/Alan McGee/Tony Wilson — you quickly realize that TheGeatorWithTheHeatorTheBossWithTheSauce- MyManPotsAndPans is the most Philadelphian iteration of whatever that thing is. So although this [...]

You knew that you weren’t gonna be able to keep The Rooster — aka Gregg Foreman, indie-rock infidel, Cat Power sideman, DJ, and liver of one billion lives — down for long, wouldn’t you? While last few years have introduced to the city to a kinder, gentler, healthier Foreman who’s kept busy with DJ gigs [...]
