So, Cole & Heidi Hamels had a big housewarming bash at their new pad at The Arthur Kade of Buildings, whereupon they gushed to Fox 29 that they’d be buying adopting as many as two, two African babies. In the news clip above, you can see Heidi go all googly-eyed when discussing the prospect, knowing [...]

I. Round-Trip Last-Minute Airfares for Travel This Weekend* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Price | Depart | Destination/Airline ——————— $138 | PHL | Harrisburg, PA (MDT): US Airways And no, they’re not paying you $138 to go Harrisburg. I mean, they couldn’t.

And we wonder exactly when the Officer Thrasher Support Group is going to come to this cop’s aid. You may remember a news story about two years ago concerning Officer Kimberlie Webb, who at that point had been a part of the Philly P.D. since 1995. In ’07, Webb, a Muslim, requested permission to wear [...]

In this city, it’s inevitable that some of your shit is going to get stolen. And often, there’s not a damned thing you can do about it. But when Red Tettemer exec Carla Pillo Mote had her laptop, wallet and tax papers stolen by a drunken posh exec in a Philly bar, she decided she [...]

Like us, you’ve been wondering what Vince Fumo‘s Big Crazy Patronage-Built Mansion in Fairmount looks like ever since you first passed the thing whilst on your way to the London Grill. And like us, descriptions like this only make you more desperate to get in there: Absolutely magnificent 1890′s Victorian Mansion. Circa 1890, occupied by [...]

>>> As you might have guessed, we’re pretty stoked for the Lissy Trullie/GANG/Cortez Cortez show tonight at The Khyber. The Lissy Trullie EP, Self-Taught Learner, has been getting lots of spins here in the office, and we’re stoked to see them performed in the flesh. If you haven’t checked out Trullie yet, do so above.

And we mean “ooze.” [Submitted by: phillygrrl] Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

Awesome things Vermont has given us: Phish, Newhart, Bill W. (we love, love, love drinking but Bill was a sweet dude anyway), lots of nature if that is the kind of thing you go for, Howard Dean, Ben & Jerry’s, Phineas Gage, John Irving, Miranda July, William H. Macy, and Joe Perry! Super-awesome thing Vermont [...]

Isn’t it just like a Penn kid to come here, act like he’s not here the whole time he is here, and then leave town the very second he can? We speak of Kal Penn (pictured at right, just below the midget wrestler), of course, whom you may know as “Kumar” from the Harold & [...]

This here’s the latest from our friends in Secret Pants, and let us be the first to say it: It’s like Tennesee Williams knew that one day, it would be dead hookers that gave his plays the most sympathetic read.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of sitting down with the guys from Laan Labs — the Philly-based duo that have already brought you The Lightwriter and the Remote Sound Box apps for the iPhone, along with a host of others — to discuss what exactly a Philebrity iPhone App might look like. There were a [...]

Everybody knows that pro athletes, especially once they go big and, say, win the World Series, stand to multiply their incomes to untold levels via endorsements and personal appearances. And like any other agency game, who you choose to represent you on those deals should be contingent on their own successes. So you can understand [...]

About twice a month, Bo Bliz and Emynd — the guys behind the White Belts & White T’s parties, and lots of others — drop a mix on their blog. This month’s mixtape is one that is particular near and dear to our hearts, as it pays tribute to legendary Philly rapper/inventor of gangsta rap [...]

Which on the surface is a good thing, but unless they offered the obvious advice — “As you approach middle age, become an egocentric sports pundit who just says crazy shit, like one thing after another, in the most relentless (yet unthreatening) fashion possible, while sometimes courting controversy via a DUI or obvious conflict of [...]

So, last night’s big fire in Kensington — if you watch Action News, you know that every night, there’s a big fire in Kensington — was the site where, years ago, Flexible Flyers were once made, before some kind of crazy monster (Racistzilla?) closed up all the factories in the Kenz and the city started [...]

See youse tomorrow!

Just like we warned you this morning, Mayor Nutter and a bunch of suits from SugarHouse got together this morning to reveal this bit of wonderful news: SugarHouse will be opening an “interim casino” inside of about a year. What the Total Bullshit Campaign Promise is an “interm casino,” you ask? Well, to us, it [...]

So, the Supreme Court just negged any chance of themselves ever re-trying the case of (most likely) cop-killing hearthrob (definitely) activist Mumia Abu-Jamal (pictured here modeling American Apparel’s latest line of vintage-inspired eyewear). Which is good news if, like us, you’d just like both sides of MumiaWorld® to just shut the fuck up already, whether [...]

We mentioned a few weeks ago how stoked we were to be presenting Lissy Trullie at The Khyber on Tuesday, April 7th. Well, the show is tomorrow, and we’re still psyched — even more so, in fact. Since we talked up the show last, two locals have been added: Gang and Cortez Cortez, both of [...]
