Keep your eyes peeled: According to our source, shooting could begin as early as next week, ushering in the only time of year when it makes any sense [...]

Plan to be out of town on September 4th. Or to don your own kind of “none more black” blinders.

James Gunn‘s Super, a Rainn Wilson/Ellen Page starring dark comedy about the sinister side of superhero-ing (we love alliteration today) will be screening at the Piazza this Sunday, thanks to AwesomeFest.

As reported last week (and earlier), Lenny Dykstra just can’t seem to catch a break. Yesterday, according to an Associated Press report on ESPN.com, Dykstra pleaded not guilty in Federal Court to the previous charges of embezzling money from a bankruptcy estate.

You should go see them at Bookspace tonight with Heavy Cream, Geffika, and Arches. >>> Also, Ars Nova’s AACM | Great Black Music fest continues with Henry Threadgill’s “Background” (for saxophone quartet) + Jeff [...]

Sometimes we like to think that GPTMC is in the throes of a Brewster’s Millions-esque panic where, if they don’t burn a certain amount of money in a certain space by a certain time, someone’s going to murder an entire breed of puppies. And so it goes with this Travel & Leisure piece — Travel [...]

Fucking fuck these unfunny Kids In The Hall/The State fucking fanboys in their fucking stupid basic cable faces. You fucks come to Philly, expect to get stitches. And not the lame ComedySportz ones you’re used to. It’s ON, bitches.

The ultimate hipster accessory: messenger cat. Spotted at Broad and Locust. Oh dear God. (Also, Cole Hamels, don’t get it twisted: This is still not cool.) Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

Listen: I know you guys don’t make a lot of money and that you work very hard, and on these accounts, you do have my sympathy. However, at this stage in the game, for you to bitch and moan about me using a credit or debit card — years after the system was introduced and [...]
