OK, slackers: This is it. We’re going through the pile tonight, so if you’re interested in interning at Philebrity this fall, get us your resume and cover letter TODAY. Like we said before, it doesn’t pay, but on the other hand, it can’t be any worse than this.

THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary _____________________ For Immediate Release September 8, 2009 REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT IN DISCUSSION WITH 9TH GRADERS Wakefield High School Arlington, Virginia Well, a nation of ignorant, mutedly racist parents be damned, Obama gave his school speech today, and guess what? Nobody turned Kenyan or killed all the [...]

Spotted at Doggie Style on East Passyunk. Says our reader: “LOVE. Sort of unfortunate that it’s not actually in Vick’s likeness, but S. Philly might be too racist to handle that like grownups.” Speaking of racism and not handling things like grownups, if a nation of jerkfaces can seriously get up in arms about President [...]

No word yet on whether there’s been an uptick in sales of new bike seats or leather disinfectant in the area.

Unless you’re willing to sign your soul away to the reality show devil, there aren’t many second chances in Hollywood. So, for those of you old enough to remember 1980’s scream-com personalities like Sam Kinison, Gilbert Gottfried, and Judy Tenuta, you can exhale a deep sigh of relief that Bobcat Goldthwait has come back from [...]

You know, in all of our talk about the Reading Viaduct lately (as well as Chinatown‘s NIMBY tendencies), we’ve been completely remiss in mentioning at all Chinatown’s red-headed stepchild. Sometimes known as the Eraserhead Neighborhood or the Eraserhood — and once in a while, if you just paid a shit-ton to live there, “The Loft [...]

To be honest, we haven’t given much thought to PhillyCarShare since we had this (non-)conversation with PCS’s Eli Massar back on July 29th. But it seems like other folks — folks who’ve been burned in one way or another by PCS, it would seem — have been thinking about it a lot. Just posted on [...]

Words can barely do justice to this ad for The Residences At Two Liberty Place, in the current issue of PhillyMag. First off, is Heidi really pimpin’ that baby bump for rent credits? (Sheesh, and to think people got all bent out of shape when we took a free ride in an Infiniti.) Secondly… Mommy [...]

Good morning, class! Welcome to The First Day Of School For Adults. Here, you will learn all kinds of things you thought you already knew — and indeed, you might have, but look what good it did you — so we’re here, today, to try and learn it all again. Please make sure your pencils [...]

FRIDAY: >>> Verily I say unto thee, Summer of ’09: Don’t let the door hit you in the ass. You were crammed with death. You made us perspirate dissatisfaction. You offered little relief, and you were a bad tipper, too. Suck it. On the plus side, you could basically park it in Fishtown (actually, more [...]

RECOMMENDED: Slim pickin’s this week, guys: Extract is a Mike Judge comedy starring Jason Bateman and Ben Affleck doing drugs. Not everybody goes to the movies to have their minds enriched. ALSO NEW IN THEATERS: All About Steve, starring Philly’s own Bradley Cooper — can we just say how we love how he’s inherited the [...]

Pointer Sisters? Oh hell yes.

On an almost weekly basis, we’ll receive links to heartfelt, well-thought-out personal-ish blogs from Nice Girls With Brains Who Read Philebrity, who invariably do their whole Sex And The City on East Passyunk thing, chronicling their tales of Beardos Who Can’t Love, how they love hanging out at the P.O.P.E., and fun style tips. What [...]

On Saturday, September 26, at 22nd & York Streets, the Philadelphia Dept. Of Streets will hold its fifth-ever Household Hazardous Drop-off Day which, if you know Philadelphia at all, should scare the living hell out of you. Other names we’ve come up for this valiant effort by the City include “Bring Your Dirty Bomb To [...]

It’s that time of year again: the time when local theater, dance and art lovers come together for a sixteen-day bacchanalian orgy of self expression. Yep! Its the Live Arts/Philly Fringe Festival. Oh, Philly Fringe … you are so weird. You are so in-our-faces. You are so full of nudity. The scaling-back of the Live [...]

Hey all. If you’ve not yet made it out to Friday Sundown Yacht Rock Time With Philebripeople At Octo On The Waterfront, we have good news: THERE’S STILL TIME. We just extended this jam through September, and if perchance you are stuck in Philly this weekend, we cannot possibly think of a better way to [...]

Oh, you knew this would happen: In that pre-Labor Day slowdown, when the news cycle turns to a pile of ashes and whole cities just disappear, the idea of spending one’s last possible moments of an entire summer blogging — blogging, for chrissakes — just seems like… no. No. NO. (Fun fact: We weren’t supposed [...]

We’ve been wanting to do our take on a record fair forever, so it’s with much stoke that we ask you to put aside the afternoon of Saturday, Sept. 26 for The First-Ever Philebrity Record Fair! There’s going to be refreshments and entertainment as well (more info on this soon), but in the meantime, if [...]

Our buddy G.W. Miller III has a riveting (and yeah, pretty heartbreaking) story in this week’s Philadelphia Weekly about Asian kids being the objects of a rash of random, hyperviolent beatdowns in Philadelphia Public Schools, and how the School District of Philadelphia has done basically fuck-all to counter them. And the elephant in the room [...]

This guy was rolling up and down E. Passyunk last night singing into a megaphone and hocking his CD ($5). Is he a known quantity around here? First time I’ve caught his act. I would’ve run out and bought a CD myself except, uh, I was in my TV pants. OK, a few things here. [...]
