Next week Sarah Palin comes to town! On Tuesday, November 9th, she’ll be reeling in the excitement at a fund raising event at the Plumstead Christian School in Plumstead, PA. She’ll also be making a radio appearance on Big Talker 120 during her visit, where “listeners have a unique opportunity to meet one of our [...]

Arriving a few minutes late, as usual, SEPTA‘s new Silverliner V trains rolled into stations on Friday morning, sparkly and shiny, with p.a. systems that actually work! As anticipated, Septa actually got these trains running by the end of October!  Someone probably stepped up the game by saying something along the lines of “the godamn [...]

TLC’s previously announced series Wreck Chasers is now set to premier on Monday November 1, at 8PM on the Discovery Channel. The series documents the work of “1-Unit,” a 31-person team, including “Tow Diva” and other members, fit with attitude for the streets, and a fleet of more than 18 trucks servicing the North and [...]

Next week Philly.com is implementing essentially what is kinda, maybe, sort of like Foursquare, but only for themselves. It’s called Badgeville, where users earn points each time they visit the site, read an article, or post a comment. The points enable you to earn virtual trophies, which will appear alongside the articles the users read [...]

RECOMMENDED: The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest, of course, is the third and final installment of film adaptations of the Stieg Larsson books — all of them, moody, long-ish and deeply Scandanavian. Not to be That Guy, but soak this up before the American adaptations come along, what with their George Clooneys and chick-from-Twilights. [...]

Psychological horror hilarity comes to you courtesy of BRAT productions, creators of Haunted Poe. Erik Jackson brings you the first new production of Carrie since its sold-out off-Broadway run. Carry White – the girl nobody likes – who lives in that creepy house with her crazy mother – the girl who gets humiliated for the [...]

We’ll conclude Porn Week on Philebrity thusly, and let’s see if we can get through this post without an advertiser pulling out (that’s what she said). Philly’s own Biggest Porn Star In The World, Stoya, has recently been the subject of a rare and bizarre honor: A Fleshlight modeled on her very own private parts. [...]

So the O’Donnell article got me thinking that I had read previous articles about her love interests. One of whom is a Philadelphia attorney Brent Vasher. I wonder if he could have been the roomate in this story? Either way, this guy needs to be interviewed. So this Vasher dude graduated college in like ’04 [...]

Downstairs from our perch here at AKA Music, we just noticed these hand-painted Dr. Dog trains for sale. We can’t imagine there’s many of them. All aboard the beard express!

Quick update on yesterday’s various HotMovies-related posts: Feds spent a second day at the HotMovies offices on S. 7th Street yesterday, ostensibly gathering evidence for a still-unknown charge. Meanwhile, speculation has begun that the raid is related to another site run out of National A-1′s offices, Escorts.com, with the gist being that perhaps Escorts.com had [...]

Wow, you guys seem to be really excited about this! That other demo, by the way, is today. Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

>>> Jesus. 17 years later (17 years!), and “Palomine” by Bettie Serveert rips me through me like an ice cube kiss. The Netherlands’ finest bittersweet jangle-pop group blows through the North Star Bar tonight, so take someone you love, and show some respect. >>> Elsewhere: Corin Tucker plays First Unitarian Church, and Frightened Rabbit plays [...]

Hurry! It’s Philly Photo Day!

IT WAS A WEIRD TIME. I was going through a divorce; my band had broken up; I had no gainful employ to speak of, and I was just so unbelievably poor, it felt like I was on some kind of bizarre first-world survival game show. I’d started Philebrity in the previous year, but it was [...]

Both Obama and Clinton will be on the Temple campus — Clinton tonight, Obama Saturday — both of them essentially paraphrasing the following graphic:

If you’ve not seen it yet, do yourself a favor and check out Gawker’s exclusive by a young Philadelphia man who claims to have had a one-night stand with Christine O’Donnell three Halloweens ago. The conclusion about as frightful as you’d imagine: I won’t get into the nitty gritty details of what happened between the [...]

We’ve heard (and written) a lot here on the efforts of Bike Share Philadelphia, who’d like to bring the kind of bicycle sharing system here that’s already captured the civic imaginations of many a city in Europe. The Bike Share folks will be giving demonstrations this week, but in the meantime, a reader got an [...]
