Indiana or The Riviera? Oh, no, wait: That is definitely Indiana. As you probably know, the failure of local democracy known as Sugarhouse recently broke ground, and it’s looking like Foxwoods, its just-as-evil twin, is also considering fast-tracking a “temporary casino.” What, you ask, is a “temporary casino?” To some, it’s a big tent where [...]

Let It Be, of course, was the last film made by The Beatles, while the group was simultaneously crumbling and recording the Let It Be album. When it was released in 1970, it was basically panned, as the entire world was still pretty dickhurt about the Fab Four breaking up, Yoko Ono in general, and [...]

Courtesy Phileb reader Bernfiremon: Meanwhile, Camille has this to, er, “say”: Um, yeah! Well, we suppose it’s on now. Send your Phillies Photoshops to tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

I used to love it when I was a little kid and we’d all go out to Sesame Place and get trapped in that room that was nothing but BLACK TACOS that we could all play in. Well, we suppose it’s on now. Send your Phillies Photoshops to tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

None other than Rodney Anonymous posted this in the comments on yesterday’s Noontime Nugget of Stella from Saturday Night Dead, noting that Dr. Shock was in fact Philly’s O.G. late-night horror host. In other news, we have since heard from Stella herself, actress Karen Scioli. All next week, we’ll be doing Halloween stuff — look [...]

Or at least that’s the conclusion we draw from this email blast sent out, offering two weeks’ free subscription to its “Online Replica Edition” which, in case you did not know, is totally going to save the environment and one day, your children’s children will turn to your digitized soulscreen on the mantle and thank [...]

Or something like that. Just remember: For Bud Selig and Major League Baseball, these days, all baseball is fantasy baseball. As witnessed by last night’s whoopsie MLB.com front page. Black taco.

Up until about nine months ago, if some asshole left a couch on your street or the gutters were overflowing or the trash men decided they didn’t like your trash, there was pretty much only one thing to do: Call your Philadelphia City Council rep, act like you voted for them even if you didn’t, [...]

Aw man. This Economy. This Pyschic Economy. Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

It took us forever to put it together, but it’s true: The voice behind Travelers Insurance‘s “Drifters” campaign (as seen above) is none other than Langhorne Slim (government name: Sean Scolnick), born and raised, of course, in Langhorne and then New Hope. The track in the ad, “Worries,” is off Slim’s eponymous third album; you [...]

It might not be the most surprising news ever, but it’s still a major bummer: The TLA Video store at 517 South 4th Street, which for 24 years has been flipping indie, foreign and other movies and helping to blow/inspire God only knows how many young (and old) minds, closed today. (But it’s not forever, [...]

You know, it’s been a rough week, what with the outages last week and everything, but we gotta say: When you open up your email and see that a Philebrity reader took the time to photoshop BALLOON BOY RIDING A GREAT BLACK TACO IN THE SKY, it makes it all worthwhile. You people rule.

Hands up who likes The Dirty Projectors! Since the release earlier this year of the band’s magnum opus, Bitte Orca, there’s been a lot of folks raising their hands. And you know how this goes: The Dirty Projectors play The Trocadero on Wednesday night, and we’ve got tickets and copies of Bitte Orca to share. [...]

All this zombie talk (see first post today) got us thinking about Philly’s O.G. fangbanger, Stella from Saturday Night Dead. Here then, is something you’ve probably not seen in years: The SND intro as it aired, week after week from 1984 through 1990. Man, get a load of that set. I’m talking about the staging. [...]

In case you need a refresher, Insane Clown Posse is a horrorcore-rap duo from Detroit who reached their peak of success in the late 1990s. You may not remember them for their hits, such as “Santa’s A Fat Bitch” and “Fuck the World,” but you certainly will remember them for their fanbase: Juggalos and Juggalettes. [...]

As you may have known, Steven Spielberg is the 2009 Liberty Medal Recipient, and was awarded his medal by none other than President (and previous Liberty Medal recipient) Bill Clinton last Thursday. Both men hugged Whoopie Goldberg. Both men also probably wondered who exactly Michael Nutter was. (No worries, guys, we’re still trying to figure [...]

Oh, PA Republicans! We see what you did there: You put a hammer and sickle into Obama’s name! You know, BECAUSE HE’S A COMMUNIST! So funny. But on the real: Fuck every last one of you. Will Bunch traces the genesis of this ad, first seen on GrassRootsPA.com, which is kind of like Drudge for [...]

My God, there is so much to talk about, we don’t even know where to begin!

Quick: Which is the more annoying handed-down-to-goths-and-cat-ladies pop culture meme of the moment: Vampires or zombies? You can’t answer, can you? Well, we’ll go out on a limb and say it’s the zombies. (At least the vampires are kind of sexy, but please cat ladies, don’t get it twisted: Wrapping up all of your sexual [...]
