You may not know, because who ever reads the emails they get from Netflix, but for a hot second there, Netflix was trying to split itself into two so that Netflix would be streaming-only (even though the content there seems to be an ongoing, ever-shifting mess) and DVDs would now be a separate service called [...]

Spotted on N 2nd street: Seeing something around town of note? Cameraphone it to: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

Weirdest. Camping trip. Ever. As you are most likely aware, Occupy Philly is now well into its fifth day at City Hall. And how is its general health and staying power? Well, it’s hard to say. Though the beautiful weather on Saturday did, as expected, grow the protest’s numbers to 1,000, it’s also becoming clear [...]

You know, some of us were already trying to forget about it and move on, but CNN is reporting that, in a videotaped deposition for a civil case on Saturday, Casey Anthony disguised herself by wearing, “a Phillies cap, oversized Dolce & Gabbana glasses, and a white V-necked top” and possibly a wig. So, is [...]

Oh hey, we’re going to try doing a Daily Poll each morning now, wherein we ask you, the people of Philadelphia, random things about your life here, and on Earth. Got a question you want to see the people answer? Suggest it at: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

FRIDAY: >>> Back in Philly’s weird, long 1970s and 1980s, long before #occupyphilly occupied Philly, we had other occupiers, who took one street in town and gave hope the weird and bad vibes to the regs. And lo, it was good. On this, The 2nd Annual South Street Punx Reunion Weekend, we honor those wild [...]

This poster, designed by Philly artist Dan Gneiding of Grayhood.com, is just too good not to share. For we are the 5%: We’re just not saying which.

Sean Agnew tells us: “Totally 100% screening the game at City Hall. Projectors, screen, PA and PA system obtained. Permit being obtained right now… GO PHILS!” As of this time, Philebrity is also awaiting information on whether or not the next Making Time will also be staged at #occupyphilly. (Just kidding.)

Looking at the above photograph from Christopher Payne’s “Asylum: Inside the Closed World of State Mental Hospital,” I am struck by two things: One is that no one will ever know the depths of howlingly poor and sadistically weird mental health care our ancestors received. The other is that, one day, when I hit the [...]

This is so fucked up and dumb and hilarious that we kind of don’t know even where to begin: Universal, now owned by KableTown, has just rolled out a plan to offer Tower Heist — you know, that new Eddie Murphy comedy you were all waiting for because it’s 1985 and Delirious is still very [...]

>>> Hey! Have you wondered what might could happen if the lovefest between the Mayor and #occupyphilly at some point sours and things start to get, oh, a little arrest-y? Max Kennerly at Litigation & Trial did, and his post on it is probably worth a read to anyone who’s protesting. [L&T] >>> And speaking [...]

That fucking squirrel invaded Good Day Philadelphia this morning and did not even have the decency to tear the flesh from Steve Keeley’s humanoid face. Then he hung out on Market Street being all like, “Oh word you know who I am?,” Arthur-Kade style. The he sent some more inane tweets. Seriously, fuck this guy. [...]

With our work day closing in on its end, we once again checked out Occupy Philadelphia around 3PM. The crowd had grown to roughly three times the size it was around 10AM this morning (also, same disclaimer as this morning, we are not very good at judging crowd sizes). Where the mood this morning was [...]

‘Occupy Philly’ Descends On City Hall : MyFoxPHILLY.com Julia Alford-Fowler, a Temple University doctoral student and one of Occupy Philadelphia’s organizers spoke to Fox 29‘s Steve Keeley this morning to answer some questions about the motives behind the protest and how she expects it to move forward. Keeley said he chose to talk to Alford-Fowler [...]

At 9AM this morning, Occupy Philadelphia officially kicked-off on the west side of City Hall. We were down there checking it out and taking some photos, and by the time we came back to the office there were about 200 people gathered in the crowd. The total group, by our estimation, was about 80% protestors [...]
