And they spread their purity to No Libs across from the Piazza: Something about this — probably just residue anger from this — is making our blood boil over this tagger in particular. LET’S BUST THEM, PHILEBRITY READERS! C’mon, it’ll be fun! Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

Dear Philebrity, I’m sure I’m not the first person to make the weak reference in the subject line, but seriously, if one more person tells me to call 3-1-1 for something I ultimately have to take care of myself I’m going flip them. For real. The picture is of a bag of fish carcasses that [...]

FRIDAY: >>> This is it: That moment where, overcast weather be damned, we all get to the true, beating heart of Spring Fever. It’s a zen produced from the combination of just having had enough of everyone and everything, and the promise that in just a matter of days, you and the sun will finally [...]

NOT RECOMMENDED: It’s days like this when one looks towards Hollywood and all of that sky-is-falling debate about The Death Of Narrative and The Crisis Of Content and all of that, and you can’t help but think, “Bitches, you DESERVE to go out of business.” Look at all of these stupid movies that are opening [...]

We can’t find a single thing on the web about it, but there’s a fully functional old-timey carnival up in South Philly right now — most likely Stella Maris Parish, off S. 10th St., below Oregon Ave. — complete with rickety-ass rides, funnel cake, and according to one associate who visited last night, “the greatest [...]

Why do we feel like this is another Odd Future joke we’re not in on? Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

We mentioned it as a joke in last week’s Film Sweat, but now it’s actually a real thing: The Tea Party Express has announced that they’re helping to promote the film adaptation of Atlas Shrugged, currently playing at Ritz At The Bourse. “Much like the Tea Party,” says TPE Chief Strategist Sal Russo, “this film [...]

Little birdies tell us that neo-soul crooner Bruno Mars and his band have been in Philly for the past few days and are slated to remain here for a few more, as he gets ready for his upcoming tour with Janelle Monae. That tour hits Camden on May 7, but in the meantime, please tell [...]

Both the gloriously lapsed and disappointingly non-lapsed Catholics among us already know that today, of course, is Good Friday, the most dramatic and darkest moment in the Christ saga before his (alleged!) resurrection, which will occur on Sunday and somehow directly cause you to eat ham. Being that it’s all dark and weird and shit, [...]

>>> Oh, hey, look, it’s another great night to go out in Philly: Megawords presents One is the loneliest number at The ICA, in which our heroes curate a special show of collaborating duos. >>> And the live shows continue to be really strong this week: Philebrity Radio faves Hunx & His Punxxx check in [...]

WASH WEST: The relighting project for pedestrians around Washington Square is now underway and has secured grants of $100K from the state and secured $415K in city funding. The relighting project has been spearheaded by WSWCA President Judy Applebaum and Councilman Frank DiCicco. The first phase of the project is to light Pine Street’s 900, [...]

· Percent of welfare recipients that would have to take a drug test under the new condition of the reform bill that’s being perceived as a huge violation of their rights: 5 · Number of ex-cons who will find it easier to apply for a job opening after Nutter banned the box (pictured): over 300,000 [...]

This here is the trailer for the next Hands & Knees party, this Saturday night at the Barbary. For some reason, these things scare the hell out of us.

Everybody stop freaking out: Your neighborhood Blockbuster won’t necessarily become a cell phone store or a Payless or an Aldi or some other shit that just makes you feel sad inside. It’ll be much dumber than that. Some of them will be turned into Dish Network stores, prompting the obvious question: Why in the fuck [...]

So, hey: The annual Fishtown Shadfest takes place this Saturday (weather permitting; if not, the rain date is Sat. April 30) in Penn Treaty Park. Shadfest, of course, celebrates Fishtown itself and the long lost shad fish in particular, and yes, there will be shad on the menu. But it’s also a really nice hang, [...]

We’re not sure what’s funnier/sadder: The idea of some poor, beleaguered, and lonely Philly Republicans starting a website to get “THE TRUTH” out there (as if there were people left who don’t know that Philly is a corrupt mess), or the notion that said site was started due to some evil Dem conspiracy to kick [...]

And hey, look! It’s the first nightclub we’ve been to since last April! We really do need to go out more.

In some sort of giant metaphor for what’s been happening to classical music itself for the last-half century, it came to light yesterday that one of the things forcing the Philadelphia Orchestra into bankruptcy protection last week was perhaps Philly’s most famous classical music face: Peter Nero. Yesterday, as lawyers and Orchestra staff appeared in [...]

>>> Hey! You spring-fevering? You picked the right night, as there’s a ton of stuff to get to. Among it all: · Mogwai at the Starlight Ballroom POSTPONED!; · British Sea Power at Johnny Brenda’s; · Free Franz Nicolay show at the Kimmel as part of the PIFA Festival Of Wishful Thinking; · The Ministry [...]
