Tell me you can’t see Sugarhouse buying this thing. I sort of shudder at the thought. Au contraire: U2′s massive stage piece — which was here last week and is for sale immediately at the end of the tour — is, for us, just the kind of big-dick-swingin’ that Sugarhouse has been lacking. I mean, [...]

This came up in the comments to this post the other day. Is this a real thing? Is it a scam, as suggested by Techcrunch, or is it merely coincidence? Let’s get some names in the hat and see if we can’t analyze what’s going on locally in the daily deal business.

We can’t help but see it any other way: There was a very real brutality in the odd coincidence that, just as we were about to quietly, in our own ways, mark the third anniversary of the death of our good, good friend Christopher Tucker, news broke over the weekend that pop singer Amy Winehouse [...]

RECOMMENDED: Chris Evans stars at the titular superhero in Joe Johnston‘s (October Sky, Jumanji) Captain America: The First Avenger. As the final Marvel Studios film to feed into next summer’s The Avengers, Captain America spends most of its time in Cap’s WWII-era origin tale. The film falls somewhere between good and great, supported by great [...]

Because in a week, it’ll only be good for chopping out lines. (Which, again, will eat your face. And this is not what Mom wanted when she gave you that. She thought you’d pick up The Corrections or something.)

Regarding our post yesterday about P Diddy visiting the Comcast Sex Bong yesterday, a well-placed source tells us: P Diddy wanted the meeting, and wanted lunch… he was told this would just be a work meeting… no lunch. He then requested Fiji water and unsalted cashews and other snacks, which an assitant had to run [...]

On Saturday night from 8 to 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. to 1 a.m., WPHL 17 will re-air a bunch of old episodes of Dancin’ On Air. Now, for you transplants and readers too young to remember, Dancin’ On Air was a daily TV show produced in Philly, that showed young people dancing to the [...]

At left, the Fox29 anchor desk pauses to reflect on Steve’s look this morning, which we’ll call “Blown Out Orange Romance Paperback With Epaulettes.” Previously: Seriously, Why Does Steve Keeley Look So Fucking Weird?

This is what we are hearing. And hopefully, it’s EXACTLY like this.

The Philadelphia Belle, only days after being featured on GroupOn, has gone out of business. According to My Fox Philly, “The operators said “the future of the vessel is unclear at this time. Employees will be paid for work completed to this point and will be provided lay-off notices.”” The boat was christened in December [...]

Beth Ann Lejman of legendary Philly band The Stick Men has cancer, and next Saturday at Connie’s Ric Rac, punks from all over are welcome to attend a benefit in her honor. As the Facebook event says, “Cancer don’t stand a chance cuz I’m gonna kick its Goddamn ass. If anyone can, a Stick Man [...]

This can’t actually work, can it? I’m more interested in what’s inside that car now. There has to be something good. Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

This has to be the most American thing we’ve seen in a while. The only thing that could make this more American? If it was airbrushed. Also, what exactly are we getting some of? Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

Guys, we told you to stay inside for a reason. Seriously though, heatwaves ruin everything. We’d cry about it, but our tears just turn to vapor.

As we told you a bit ago, there was a Philadelphia family in court with the federal government over $75 million or so in coins. Well, they lost. According to an AP report, the family of Israel Switt will not be getting posession of the coins, and they will instead be property of the U.S. [...]

Fuck everything about this.
