There once was a D.A. named Seth, with whom twenty thousand long-lost fugitive cases were left. But he let them all go, because as we all know, decades-old would-be jailbirds have their own ways of courting death.

So, we started screwing around with a mobile version of the site last night. Finally, right? If you have an iPhone or a Droid or a Blackberry, it should work. But then again, it may not. Just fire up your mobile browser and go to Philebrity.com, same as usual. Does it work? Do you like [...]

No, it’s true: One never has to beckon monkey balls twice. Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

This much we know: If the allegations of racism made against McFadden’s are true, and the plaintiffs have the kind of evidence they’re saying they do, the chain of prole sports/douche bars is pretty much toast — at least reputation-wise. Yesterday, Inky columnist John Gonzalez wondered aloud what the fate of the McFadden’s outpost at [...]

We believe the children of Northeast High are the future. Teach them well, Tony Danza, and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty of the text messaging they possess inside. Give them a sense of pride… to make it easier. Let the children’s totally dumb drama remind us how we used to [...]

Says YouTube user bisoubisoubisoubisou: “West Philadelphia to the Headhouse Square Farmer’s Market via bicycle around 12:30PM on Sunday, 14 November 2010. 61 cars are parked in the bicycle lanes on Pine and 22nd Streets.” Jerks. That said, says bisou, “When not blocked by cars, Pine Street has never been so smooth and pothole-free!” Oh well, [...]

>>> Say happy onesies to Tigerbeats, the Barbary‘s Monday night indie dance party. For obvious reasons, it is sometimes also known as “Toddlerbeats.” Meanwhile, upstairs at Barbarella, another new weekly begins: Smoke & Mirrors, which we take to be a more freeform, vaguely psychedelic session geared towards all the thirtysomethings who are totally freaked out [...]

At the risk of being all Cat Fancy Phillyist about it, we must tell you: There is a spring in our step today that is accompanied by a glassy stare that suggests nothing so much as… CHRISTMAS FEVER. Maybe it’s that today’s a good day to sort out/finalize your Friendsgiving/Thanksgiving/Holiday Party/Hanukkah/Christmas plans. Maybe it’s that [...]

It’s a question that, at the very least, Inky columnist John Gonzalez is asking. Gonzalez basically says that if the allegations turn out to be true, the McFadden’s has gotta be booted out of CBP, then goes the extra mile to draw a line between this case and these goons, who murdered a young man [...]

Hello, If you Google the first sentence of Camp Misty’s latest comment on the Sugarhouse topic, you’ll find a ton of comments all over the web with the same exact wording (at least the same wording as the first full sentence – after that the texts vary). Just Google “As we don our battle fatigues, [...]

Hey, not for nothing, it’s already been a great fall over at Philebrity Salon, and there’s more to come. (The pre-Thanksgiving and Christmas editions in particular are gonna be something else.) Please join us tomorrow night for the original-recipe style version, with classic jazz, plus tropicalia/afro-beat/folk-jazz and cocktails by our sturdy barkeep, Anders.

Noted lesbian icon Justin Bieber played the Wells Fargo Center last night, and the tweens of Philadelphia ripped into a frenzy of screaming and self-abuse when the Biebs launched into what has got to be the limpest drum solo ever performed on an arena stage in Philadelphia. To our readers with children or siblings who [...]

Next Monday, November 22, WXPN will be doing an all-Philly Music Day, and of course, they’ll have the basics covered: Your Orlons, your Gamble & Huff, your Hall & Oates, and for the love of cripes, there had better be an awful lot of Todd, Who Might Be God. But, via program director Bruce Warren, [...]

Funny line in this piece about how Sam Katz‘s announcement last week could effect another possible run for crazy-rich-guy-who-runs-for-things Tom Knox: A reasonable inference is that Knox might let Katz run in the Democratic primary, then run as an independent (or Republican) in the general election [...] Ah yes, that’d be mighty white of the [...]

Philadelphia, PA – Dandies mingle with aristocrats and daring explorers while sipping cocktails, enjoying hors d’oeuvres and partaking in a one-of-its-kind lineup of bands, DJs, circus performances and high fashion from foremost neo-vintage designers. They spill onto the sidewalk outside the Ormandy Ballroom and take over late-night food spots, attracting curious looks from passers by. [...]

We’ll let you be the judge of that, but suffice it to say that Newsworks, WHYY‘s new news site is one of the smarter new media launches the city has ever seen. And for those among us who feel like the local online news hole — whether it’s Philly.com, NBCPhiladelphia or KYW-1060 — consistently panders [...]

Hey, everybody, guess who’s hiring! Yep, you read that right. Having both handily conquered the toothless and easily claiming the local drifter populace, it’s looking like SugarHouse is moving on to their next target demographic: Asian-Americans, a group that studies have increasingly shown are in harm’s way when it comes to gambling addiction. Some could [...]

Kellie Patrick Gates’s article on Plan Philly is an interesting look into a Thursday night meeting of the Central Delaware Advocacy Group. Of the 6 miles of riverfront that the city is striving to revitalize, people in the northern and southern ends feel that the redevelopment doesn’t benefit their communities as much as it should, [...]

The Yarn-Bomber behind the cozies knitted on bike racks around town, the tree in Rittenhouse, and the one outside of Minima (did they pay her to do that?), Jesse Hemmons, makes an appearance for HAHA mag’s Dutch Umbrella series! There was a very cool exhibit and auction on Friday at Paradigm Gallery, through which all [...]

Went to see Ben Folds last night (I know, I know). We were curious about his new album, Lonely Avenue, and collaborations with Nick Hornby. Boarding the train to 69th St, we were ready for… shenanigry, to say the least. Sure enough, the night consisted of hearing everyone’s voices but Ben’s, which was expected, but [...]
