Readers Write: Arthur Kade’s (Dirty) Glass Is Always Half-Full
Just to let you all know…. I had the pleasure of serving Mr. Kade tonight (thursday) at Parc. After we all fought over who would take the table, I stepped to the plate because I have gotten quite used to the douchebag fare on Thursday nights in Rittenhouse. This may come as a surprise to you, but he was very rude. He did not say please or thank you, and didn’t even look up when I asked him how everything was. And oh yeah — he wasn’t a good tipper.
Once I caved in and acknowledged who he was, (I asked him if he would be shooting any videos this evening), his eyes lit up and asked if I would like to be in a video. I said no thanks, I don’t want any bad press, as I am trying to start a business. I dropped the check and said, “Thanks, Artie.” And he says to his friends, “Artie? Man, I love this. It’s like the whole city is on a first name basis with me…. this is awesome.”
….. lol.
have a great day ;)xoxo,

MONDAY ON PHILEBRITY: Richie Rosati’s Career Advice For Arthur Kade! It’s a post you won’t want to miss. In the meantime, wander through the dark forest that is Philebrity’s Arthur Kade Archives. And yeah, we know we said we’re done with Kade, but before we sign off of him forever, we’re leaving no stone unturned.
UPDATE: We just spoke with our tipster, who very emphatically wanted us to clarify two things: One, that she did not serve Kade a dirty glass of water (a fact which, if necessary, we are told could be cleared up via security camera footage). She claims this was just a bit of late-night email bravado, and I mean, let he who is among us without sin there cast the first stone. Secondly, our tipster also wanted to emphasize that Parc is a clean and lovely place. And even though she seems to have fibbed about the dirty glass, we really have no reason to disbelieve this young lady. She seemed very sweet and very frightened. And she, and Philebrity, regret the error.

Uh…good for her, but I hope this not-too-anonymous email doesn’t get her fired.
July 31st, 2009 at 2:16 pm
that is disgusting. this person deserves to be fired, both for the glass and the blatant gossip involving the namedropping of her employer. at least now we know not to ever eat at Parc, lest someone mistake you for a douchebag and possibly give you swine flu.

How difficult would it be for management to figure out who served this table? Not very. #Kadehaterfail
July 31st, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Gee, I wonder why you didn’t get a good tip.
July 31st, 2009 at 2:40 pm
Well, I guess you can kiss your job goodbye.

at first i thought it was all pretty funny (Kade’s site). but the more i read his posts it made me sicker and sicker. the posts seem to be going nowhere basically. same stories. same scenarios. no products. no credits. well, sometimes a home video camera in his house but where are the movie cameras?
it’s going to be a long ass lonely road if Kade is serious about his beliefs and thinks hes already a celebrity. looking at his facebook page he has less than 600. don’t celebrities usually have 2000-4999 ?
being famous for being a good performer (singer/actor/dancer) is 1 thing, but trying to make yourself famous by shedding bad light on yourself via the internet is exhausting for its readers. tired. zzzzz. no substance. it has backfired unfortunately. i hope razzzati addresses the whole pr situation for Kade and how it has been nothing but “fail” for Mr. Kade so far. Dude needs help with public relating.
It’s no secret that Richie was a huge fan of Madonna when I hung out with him years ago at clubs like Voodoo, Black Banana, Revival, Xero, The Troc, etc with A.D. Amorosi, hip dj’s Dozia and Boy Blake, Tronco, GiGi and Xanadu, etc.
RR talked about Madonna quite frequently. He hung around people she hung around early in her “before she was a huge star” days in nyc, and his constant paying attention (I guess) to her own pr techniques is what educated him. just my belief. my opinion.
The likeability factor is a key player to becoming famous. Kade destroyed that HIMSELF. If nobody likes you or thinks you’re a douchebag, then it’s over before it begins. If I can add my advice to this situation (being I am IN THE MEDIA – a freelance JOURNALIST here and there – small time) I would say that Kade should strip his site down and start all over again. From scratch.
RR’s Facebook page yesterday (yes I’m on his “friends list”)said he has now signed a digital distribution deal with the Amazon Digital Service Network and Sony/BMG Music Entertainment Downloads, LLC which will now be responsible for making his older music and newer music available to the world via their network store.
I researched this data myself to see if it was true (well, actually my daughter Angy did for me) and found this statement to be true. Arthur you need to produce evidence (a product) to support your posts if you are going to reach your “journey”.
I am looking forward to richie’s advice for you on Monday.
Arthur needs to see what official big company representation looks like, so here’s richie’s download network deal link below. I do hope Arthur finds what he’s looking for someday. But first, an attitude adjustment is required. Arthur’s a good looking guy but oh how those posts can make one appear so ugly. Ugly attitude sells NOTHING at the box office. Not even a box of popcorn. Just my 2 lousy cents. no offense Kade but it’s time to get “real” now if you truly want to (WANT TO) become a famous name. (Meaning you are not there yet)
Richie R’s Amazon/Sony/BMG Digital Music Store:
Arthur this is what a “product” and real label network deal looks like. Marco V out.

George Foreman has sold over 55 million grills. How does he do it ? – he is just plain likeable! Looking to be the next big pop star? Movie star? Simon Cowell on the likeability factor:
“Beyond raw talent, the Likeability Factor is huge,” says Simon Cowell of American Idol.
You either have it, or you don’t.

I quote Kade himself from his website:
“Sometimes I take a deep breath, look at the sky, and think, “What’s it like to be normal, and not famous”, and then I smile and say, “Nevermind, my life is amazing, I am a rising actor in “”The Biz””, I can have almost any girl I want, and my job is perfecting a craft that every child dreams of living like I do”.
Question: Is this a good example of Simon Cowell’s “Likeability Factor”?
Discuss.

1. The server should be lauded as an American hero. I will talk the giant-rat people into protesting Parc if there are ramifications for the dirty glass. It’s like the old saying goes, “Dirty lips deserve dirty glasses.”
2. I dislike Kade more now for being boring and repetitive than before for being delusionally unaware to the point that he doesn’t realize his friends are “apologizing” for his behavior. They do so as he’s five feet away.
3. I’m titillated by the anticipation of Rosati’s advice column. Good God I hope he dusts off some Madonna-Open-Your-Heart video ideas for Kadyshes.
Hickey, Out.

Please, just make it stop.

What a shitty waitron.
July 31st, 2009 at 3:30 pm
I see a whole lot of jealous 5s here who just can’t deal with seeing a hot ass ball ass 10 succeed.
July 31st, 2009 at 3:32 pm
‘hot ass ball ass’ is my favorite new phrase.
July 31st, 2009 at 3:33 pm
But what did he eat?

@John Lightstone
fucking hilarious

I stole hot ass ball ass from tips, who may have stolen it from the Kadouche himself.
July 31st, 2009 at 3:35 pm
When all is said and done with Kadyshes, the lone contribution he can legitimately claim will be the introduction of “hot ass ball ass” into daily conversation. I giggle inside every last time I hear it.

As a former waitron, a “dirty glass” does not necessarily mean a used and unwashed glass. Many glasses come from the dishwasher less than clean. I may or may not have served drinks in spotty glasses to cretins, whilst choosing a better glass for nice patrons.
