More info here. And before you apply, remember: You bring all of us shame. A great, deep shame.

Remember Joey Buttafuoco? He was the thirty-six-year-old auto mechanic from Long Island who was having sex with the then-sixteen-year-old Amy Fisher. Amongst other things Amy went on to do (hardcore pornography, journalism), she shot Mary Jo Buttafuoco, Joey’s wife, in the face. Joey has had a rocky, unlucky history of arrests for a medley of [...]

But seriously, who can know. Supposedly, it’s with IMG. Great tan, Marcus.

Like you, we heaved a massive sigh of relief last week when House Bill 1828 was finally passed in Harrisburg, saving Philly from an immediate future of nightmarish dystopian proportions (about which, to be honest, we had a kind of morbid curiosity, but it’s best not to dwell on such things). In any case, only [...]

After more than a year of hand-wringing and public outcry from users, Comcast (along with other big-box ISP’s like AT&T and Verizon) has finally received a stern rap on the knuckles from the FCC, who’ve ruled that ISPs are not allowed to block or slow lawful Web traffic. But in the vagaries of that ruling [...]

FRIDAY: >>> Friends, I must tell you: This weekend rules already. Tonight, there will be the chill of promise in the air, and so much to do and so many friends to see. Here at the office, that means the next-to-last-ever Philebrity Happy Hour @ Octo, followed by Lewis & Clarke, Meg Baird and Sir [...]

RECOMMENDED: The Informant! is Steven Soderbergh‘s satirical retelling of the true story of a corporate snitch who so believes the lie of big business in America that he gets totally stoked to work for the FBI, because it’s a bigger company. Matt Damon famously put on 30+ pounds for this role, of which his dorky [...]

Video after the jump. Also, uh, here’s her Facebook page.

I was at this show and it changed my life. Fuckin’ Unrest was on the bill, too.

Boscov’s — the family-owned, Mid-Alantic department store chain that has been supplying your strangest family members with questionable gifts since 1921 — has made it out of bankruptcy alive. And you know, in a world where all things big retail (from Target on) are cool and cold, Boscov’s survival kinda gives us the warm and [...]

The bold folks at GPTMC — that’d be the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation, whose job it is to attract people to this fair city, often against all odds or good reason — have come up with a visitor’s itinerary geared directly toward irreverent drunks nationwide who know Philly primarily through what is now its [...]

>>> How did we get through the week without talking about Shawn Andrews‘s GarageBand/iPhone YouTube beat-making session? Like the man says, “It’ll put you in a trance if you get too close to the computer! Unh!” Oh, also, in case you didn’t know, Shawn wants you to call him E.D.I.D. now, short for “Every Day [...]

We’re gonna go ahead and guess this one was staged, but we’ll give it a pass. After all, it proves a good point: Even Cheesesteaks need a day off once in a while. Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

You’ve heard the hand-wringing. And then you’ve heard it again. And there’s a good point there: If we can all agree that the Plan C/Doomsday Budget was a big giant bluff (that even the county bosses in Harrisburg were in on), well, isn’t that kind of dangerous? Doesn’t it set a baaaaaaad precedent for any [...]

Hey, remember me? A few months back I told you we were done. History. Gone the way of the dodo. I lied. I never left. Well, that’s not true either. I went away for about 5 days, ok, maybe 2, but you get the point. We can play catch up later, but here’s the pressing [...]

Nutter has instructed the command staff of the city government to halt the implementation of Plan C following the Pennsylvania Senate’s approval of House Bill 1828. This afternoon the [...]

After months of anticipation, the season premiere of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia is happening TONIGHT and we are mad excited about it. Obviously, most of you already have plans to watch the show somewhere, but if that “somewhere” is really just “in your apartment with your cats”, then come on out to National Mechanics [...]

This is possibly the most adorable idea we’ve heard recently: this Saturday, September 19th, is Park(ing) Day, when random parking spots across the city will be turned into 9 by 20 ft. parks for one day only. An annual global event, Park(ing) Day has been spreading the cause of fun, light-hearted social activism for the [...]

>>> Flufftronix (Subdivision/Smooth Sailing at the Barbary) and Melissa Lena (ex Upstairs at Sals/90s Party at the Khyber) are DJ-ing the first Boogie Nights Roller Disco Party this Friday night at the St. Charles Roller Rink at 20th and Christian. There will be vegan chocolate cupcakes, sweet jams and running video clips of cheesy vintage [...]

FOR REAL FOR REAL! Sometimes, bluffing works.
