You may know Philly filmmaker Ted Passon from his various exploits, which range from storytelling to getting the city to rally behind him to replace the car he lost during the Phillies’ post-World Series melee. All of which we here at Philebrity have gladly cheered on — we like the way Ted is increasingly engaging [...]

Antony & The Johnsons play the Keswick Theater tonight. And like a bunch of boneheads, we forgot to give away these tickets we have for it. If you still wanna go and entered before, please resend an email to ihopeiwin[at]philebrity[dot]com with “STILL LOVE ANTONY” in the subject header. We’ll pick a winner directly. And then [...]

Deep Sleep, where have you gone? You were our favorite place in the world to buy $125 WESC jeans — an idea which seems like a distant cotton-candy memory now. But the Deep Sleep blog hasn’t been updated since Xmas, the for rent sign is in the window, and yo, sign of the times. But [...]

We hate to keep harping on this, BUT: City Paper and Philadelphia Weekly have been rocking the 64-pages-a-week wafer-thin style for too long to count. After slashing their freelance budgets almost entirely if not completely, the Weekly just laid off some folks as well (most under-reported local media story in recent memory, natch). CP is [...]

Especially now that Brian Hickey is feeling a lot better, woe betide the person who hit Hickey and ran late last year, leaving him for dead: Hickey just started a Facebook group called Help Me Find The Person Who Almost Killed Me, and when he finds you, he’s going to kick your ass. And so [...]

Frankly, we’d expect to The Illuminati to have slightly better taste than what passes for most of these murals, but whatever. At least now, WE KNOW. Thanks, YouTube!

Now, none of the lovely people (and Philebrity commenters) who work at Comcast in Philly could have anything to do with this — at least we don’t think they could have — but as purveyors of much news regarding one of the city’s biggest private-sector employers, we must tell you: Out in Tucson, Comcast “celebrated” [...]

It’s official: Phil saw his shadow and we’re in for six more weeks of this (including a winter storm supposedly rolling in later today). Bearing that in mind, we turned to our botanist/author/bon vivant pal Lord Whimsy, who recently told us: This week, I’ve been compiling the photos from all my nature treks and uploading [...]

On Friday, we asked readers to clue us in to a Bruce Spingsteen SuperBowl Half-time Drinking Game, and by gum, commenter sleepuntildark totally came through: If Bruce plays a song off his new record, do a shot. If Bruce says “Is there anybody ALIVE out there???” Do a shot. If Bruce says “C’mon Stevie!”, do [...]

Knowing full well that your average idiot will be — even in Good Ol’ Recessiontimes — more than happy to pay extra to stand in a maximum-capacity stadium with people-moving ramps a-swinging and real, actual rape taking close very, very nearby, the Philadelphia Eagles have raised ticket-prices. Mouth-breathing idiot prole fans can expect to pay [...]
