OK, before we let you read this, BIG DISCLAIMER: Though we have not been shy about making our feelings known about the whole celebrity boxing thing — as well as those who perpetuate it — Philebrity can make no guarantee whatsoever as to whether or not what this woman is saying is true, false or, [...]

OK, so the whole humblebrag-your-way-into-a-date-with-a-mermaid thing didn’t work out. And we mean REALLY DID NOT WORK OUT. But all is not lost: We looked it up, and you can totally take an online course from that guy Mystery. Hiyooooo.

It’s the faux-journalism equivalent of giving oneself a beej.

Can Philly handle two sprawling, ambitious indie rock festivals at exactly the same time? That’s a question that’ll be answered later this month, when the Philly FM Festival descends upon a variety of local venues and outdoor spaces — coincidentally (though one does have to wonder) as the Popped! Festival does its thing at FDR [...]

We probably don’t humblebrag enough about how lovely and good it feels to essentially have our office inside of a record store — AKA Music on Second Street in Old City, where we’ve been cranking out the Philebrity for a year now — but trust us, it’s great. Last week, we heard a ruckus and [...]

>>>Philadelphia Sketch Comedy Group and perennial Fringe Fest favorites The Waitstaff present a 60-minute sketch show with Waitstaff creation The Real Housewives of South Philly (above) at L’Etage (624 South 6th Street). >>>Written by Todd Cardin and directed by Emily Cardin, The Angel, The Devil, and Greg Brady is the tale of Gabe and Damien, [...]

This story begs for a “99 Problems” pun, but we’ll save you from our own minds. As Fox News reports, tenants at a building partially-owned by Jay-Z at 603 North American Street are being harassed and basically run out of their own condos because the ownership of the building wants to sell. Among the claims [...]

Anti-fracking protestors gather at Broad & Walnut to chant down Babylon. Another photo here, and AP story here. Previously: The Way We Live Now: Trying To Explain To Your Parents (From Your One Phone Call In Jail) What Fracking Is And Why You Got Arrested For Opposing It [Photo: Beggars & Thieves]

OK, we lied about the “Obscure Critically Unacclaimed” part, as it’s Jeff Tweedy from Wilco; a more stroked ego you will not find in this land of rockist manchildren. Here he is performing last night at some book party for a book about the fake Rahm Emanuel Twitter account (it just takes so little these [...]

According to My Fox Philly, there have been no reports of a decision on whether former School District of Philadelphia superintendent Arlene Ackerman violated her buyout agreement when she went all around town defending herself from the rooftops. There is also no word yet about State Auditor General Jack Wagner‘s audit into the $405,000 from [...]

Since we’ve gotten back from the holiday weekend, we’ve been hammered multiple times a day with news of Mayor Michael Nutter talking jobs here, there and everywhere: From a full-on media blitz to drum up interest in his co-pitch for the Philly Live! project down by the stadiums to the groundbreaking for Iroko Pharmaceuticals’ new [...]

We told you back in June that Philadelphia had been named a Code For America partner for the second consecutive year, but now we have some more information on what that will entail. According to a press release, “In 2011, the Code for America fellows conducted on-the-ground research, connecting with neighborhood groups, learning about the [...]

Since it’s been in the news again, our post from August 1, “Man Arrested For Photographing Police In Rittenhouse Square”, is still drawing comments. This one came in over the weekend, and, well: southphilly Says: September 3rd, 2011 at 11:03 am First of all your 23; your not a kid and you broke the law [...]

… we’re pretty sure that the photo captions on the PhillyChitChat Naked Bike Ride post were written by a super spooky haunted child, like Haley Joel Osment in The Sixth Sense or something. (PS. This.) Previously: Fact: You Are Literally A BAD CITIZEN If You Choose The Naked Bike Ride Over Bike Philly

Fans of Ween, New Hope’s own most epic weirdos ever, take note and save the date: On Sunday, October 2, Dean Ween will be holding a charity baseball game to benefit the American Cancer Society. And you know it won’t be just another sleepy beer league contest; rather, this jawn is straight up Ween league. [...]

Though it’s apparently been around since May, we just noticed it for the first time last night. It’s cute, but it also puts forth the erroneous notion that SEPTA buses can poop out trees, when we all know what they really excrete: dead end jobs, failed dreams and unsatisfying naps on the way home from [...]

And we don’t mean the actual guy. Rather, the Tea Party Express, that roving bus of Shit That Grows In Brains Until It Needs To Eat More Brains From Whites Over 50, will be pulling up in Yardley this evening with the stated purpose of “reclaiming America.” Well, you know how we feel about this: [...]

Fringe Fest officially kicked off when we were away over the weekend, and while we made our opinion known, there are still some things worth checking out, for better or worse. We’ll be filling you in all week on which shows you should be catching, here are two of tonight’s highlights: >>>WHaLE OPTICS, is going [...]

Our own Joey Sweeney will be back in the house to spin records for Philebrity Salon at 700 tonight. What with the rain and the change of seasons, it seems like a good night to maybe head in the direction given above. Come on down if you please. 9PM-2AM.
