If you don’t already have an opinion on whether or not the Barnes Foundation should be in Philadelphia proper, you will after reading this post. At right is Harry Sefarbi, an artist and teacher who worked at the Barnes for over fifty-five years, and is perhaps the oldest gentleman to be the vulnerable target of [...]

HOT NEWS TIP ALERT!!!! OMG!!!OMG!!! The Jonas Brothers Are Here! All Philadelphia residents are advised to leave their place of work, run willy-nilly through the streets, crying and screaming for one of these Pop Gods to take their virginity!!! (or at least sign a body part!!!) Intrepid Local Reporter Jennaphhhrr Phhrrredricks gave us the [...]

Remember when we discovered Constitution Geek Joseph Torsella and instantly hooked him up with Cute Boy Alert status? Well, like many other Cute Boy Alerts, his cuteness and sweetness has only grown. And now it’s about to go man-sized into proper Grown Up Awesome Guy Emergency territory. Yesterday, Torsella filled out paperwork to start raising [...]

The other day, when we were blowing a gasket over Jennifer Weiner, driven to sweats and hategoogling (it’s a real thing, Oprah’s gonna do a show about it), you know what felt like sweet calamine lotion on our burning skin? The realization that Weiner’s husband, Adam Bonin, seems like a totally righteous dude. Then we [...]

Look: We’re not even gonna act like we understand/care about/pay much attention to The Football — it’s like war and math all in one sport, yuck — but we will say this: That Asante Samuel is ONE! PRETTY! MAN! Samuel, it turns out, is something of the Jimmy Rollins of the Iggles — that is, [...]

PhillyMag expat and sushi scribe Sasha Issenberg recently got caught by the flighty shutterbugging of John McCain’s daughter Meghan, who called the dude “the best dressed reporter this week.” (He’s covering the McCain campaign for The Boston Globe.) Not exactly a whole lot of competition there, we know, but as Dan Gross observes, [...]

You sell watches at that Gallery kiosk like it ain’t no thang, peddling your wares in the dim light of the Market East Trainwreck, as though Seasonal Affective Disorder was not a year-round thing there. We’re pretty sure you’re from Ukraine, and we’d like to give you the time of day. The first time we [...]

This is a show that could easily be slept on, we think, but everybody really needs to throw themselves on the grenade, suck it up, and venture out on a November Tuesday night to see the one and only Euros Childs. Euros spent the last decade or so fronting the Welsh folk-rock-psych band Gorky’s Zygotic [...]

We’ve got a new BFF in town, and cholo’s got a firm handshake. Meet the made-over Ben Franklin, our 9-foot tall bronze historical figure, who was unveiled yesterday at 4th and Arch, next to the Engine 8 Firehouse. The new statch, designed by James Peniston, will replace the ol’ Penny Franklin sculpture. This time around, [...]

Now we love us some fresh Street Musician. Big plus when we happened upon babe-ish Blake Charleton the III on South St. and found him to be the only thing worth stopping there for on that fateful day. There he sat on the sidewalk strumming his guitar for a rotund black woman who was singing [...]

Welcome! We’ve got a new sports column for you! After the jump, Michael Fichman gets sporting on your ass.

See this dude? That’s Liam Dillinger Escape Plan, and really, he is as sweet as dudes come. All summer long ó and all winter long, too ó we cold kicked it with this guy. That is, whenever he’s not on tour. There’s a few things we have never quite understood about Liam, though. One is [...]

Today is an important day in Philebrity history: Wonky McPiece over here is our first 100% homosexual Cute Boy Alert. So say hello to Ryan Creed, quite possibly the single most gorgeous cutlet of man we have ever hipped you to. Ryan moved to Philly last year, and almost immediately began assembling a cabal [...]

Ladies, he is English. So right off, as soon as the dude opens his mouth, you’ll totally melt into that weird Hugh Grant-induced state of tremendous arousal simultaneously tempered with the knowledge that you could probably never, not in a million years, bed this guy down. Then you find out that hes a curator, and [...]
