Unfortunate news today, folks: Longtime voice of the Philadelphia Phillies/local broadcasting legend/one of Philebrity’s favorite people ever Harry Kalas has been hospitalized after he was found collapsed in the broadcasting booth just prior to the start of today’s Phils game against the Washington Nationals. Not much else is know about Harry’s present condition, only that [...]

Tonight, Ladytron and The Faint grace The Trocadero with their presence. If you’re a fan of analogue fart bass and eyeliner, you should really hit us up for some tickets. There are high school kids on last.fm that would cut off their swoopie bangs for these tickets. To quote users sailormaxx and ElMightyQ, “can’t waaaaittt!!!” [...]

Hey you! Yeah, you, the underemployed person over there with loads of awesome contacts who uniquely understands the Philebrity brand(s) and mission(s) because you’re reading this shit all day, every day, when you should be MAKING COLD HARD CASH ‘COS YOU’RE A HUSTLA. We kinda need you right now. Philebrity is currently seeking a qualified [...]

What do you get when you mix Bette Midler, Madonna, Bill Graham and lots of stage crew in teeny tiny white shorts all trying to feed the world at a decrepit Philly stadium? It’s been 24 years, and we still don’t know. After the jump, the performance, if that matters to you.

We’ve considered the alternatives, and this just seems like the most sensible way. Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

We don’t wanna harp on this one too much because it’s slightly inside baseball, but possibly of great portent. In the latest move by a team of the Inky’s senior lenders, Tierney & Co. are in court as we speak because the big lenders want to attach a Great Gazoo-like accountant type to Tierney’s tail, [...]

But you just don’t care, do you? That’s alright, pal, we’re gonna make you care, kinda just like an actual, real-deal, tough-as-nails district attorney would. (By the way, you’re probably not going to get one of those this time around.) But it’s OK: With just a month and change to go until the primary, all [...]

Title: Lynne Abraham Does Not Care If You’re A Fucking Pirate Or Not Tagline: “I’m too old for this shit, but I will kick your pirate ass anyway.” What happens when one tough-cookie district attorney who’s getting ready for retirement discovers a dastardly cock-fighting and human trafficking ring run by Somali Pirates in North Philadelphia? [...]

You will be missed.

FRIDAY: >>> I, for one, am not particularly feeling this weekend’s weather forecast — there’s too many variables, and the thought of having to fork over more real spring back to fake spring makes my blood boil. And the fact is, I just don’t trust the bow tie. Screw the goddamned bow tie. I mean, [...]

Bruce Pollock, Harmonic Net, 1999, oil on canvas, 60 x 70 inches. Bruce Pollock‘s new show, “Figure,” opened yesterday at Fleisher Ollman Gallery. More art listings at philebrity.com/firstfriday.

AHHHHHH! WHAT IS THAT! Lovingly submitted by Phileb commenter Brendangling, who had this to add: “As I suspected, the cunning Tom Carvel simply turned the Cookie Puss mold upside down and used it to create Cookie Chick. With the money he saved on mold production, he was able to create these awesome commercials.”

After the jump, Dan Murphy‘s shots from last night’s Comet Gain show at Kung Fu Necktie, plus a tune from the band.

You have to love that when presented with the prospect of doing a Daytrotter Session — the American indie world’s equivalent to the Peel Session — unrepentant Philly math rockers Pattern Is Movement were like, “Fuck it, let’s do that Beyonce song!” And then they did! The PIM read on “Crazy In Love” is definitely [...]

Thing is, nobody knows how to change his password. BOK BOK!

You may be surprised to learn — we certainly were — that the Inquirer is still running a column penned by Rick Santorum, ostensibly part of a deal Brian Tierney made when he first purchased the Inky, in a dark alley, late at night, with a secret Catholic cult that secretly controls the world, or [...]

back when the single game tickets went on sale, I posted that they usually offer some 2 for 1 deals early in the season just got an email for one: It’s for the April 21 game vs Milwaukee (7:05)–all fans get a replica ring keychain Hurry!
