“Passport to the World,” on March 3.

Someone Famous (Might Could Have) Went Somewhere Once: Snooki At Geno’s?

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

A friend of mine was told by a friend of hers, who was told by an allegedly reputable source (“yo this kid’s never wrong about anything!!”) that Snooki was supposed to make an appearance at Geno’s [Wednesday] from 6-8. I don’t know if Philebrity follows all things Jersey Shore in a semi-ironic kind of way [...]

Someone Famous Went Somewhere Once: Pamela Anderson At Parx

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Unless you’re in Monaco, where a bit of roulette is just something you do whilst waiting for Grace Kelly to put on her face, a casino is almost by definition a sad place. It doesn’t matter how loud you make the bloops and the bleeps and the bells — every moment that passes in a [...]

Someone Famous Went Somewhere Once: David Cross At McGlinchey’s

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Philebrity received numerous tips last night that, after his show at the Merriam Theater, comedian David Cross stopped into venerable Philly dive McGlinchey’s for a drink or two. To which we responded: We’ve been to McGlinchey’s and seen the clientele — How can you even tell which one is David Cross? And then, the immediate [...]

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

A tipster tells us that none other Phils pitcher/St. Joe’s Alumnus (THE HAWK WILL NEVER DIE!) Jamie Moyer was spotted having lunch yesterday at… Mrs. K’s. Now, before you start scratching your head, wondering which kitschy Stephen Starr luncheonette this is, back up; it’s Mrs. K’s. As in “Mrs. K’s Koffee Shop.” And you know, [...]

Someone Famous Went Somewhere Once: Jayson Werth + Paul Rudd = BFF’s

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Monday night, a friend and I decided to head over to Jose Garces’ Village Whiskey. While we were enjoying our lovely meal, we notice that we were in fact sharing oxygen with the hotness that is Jayson Werth (even in an unfortunate Ed Hardy hat). After we finished hyperventilating, we also notice that his dinner [...]

Someone Famous Went Somewhere Once: Pat Croce At The Gypsy Saloon

Monday, September 14th, 2009

I had lunch at the Gypsy Saloon in the borough of West Conshohocken, PA around 11:45 am today, and Pat Croce was at the table next to me, along with what I assume was a business partner/employee. A third man stopped by their table to say “hello” and discuss recent business plans, investments, family [...]

Someone Famous Went Somewhere Once: Paul Rudd Filming At UPenn

Monday, August 31st, 2009

We’ve been closely tracking (stalking) the goings on related to the mysterious Untitled James L. Brooks Project, and now we are hearing about One More Place Paul Rudd Has Been.

Someone Famous Went Somewhere Once: Tony Danza At El Camino Real

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

So let it begin! As the summer washes away — good riddance, you old fool — like a groundhog in reverse, so let us herald fall’s intent by the first of what we can only assume will be many, many Tony Danza sightings. Seeing as how Tony is residing in the Piazza At Schmidt’s while [...]

Someone Famous Went Somewhere Once: Herc From The Wire At Ladder 15

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

Says our reader: “Hey guys. Last night I saw the actor Domenick Lombardozzi at Ladder 15. He played the character “Herc” on The Wire and also “Dom” on Entourage. He told me he was in town shooting a movie with Reese Witherspoon and Owen Wilson.” Which makes us wonder about a couple of things: Are [...]

Someone Famous Went Somewhere TWICE: Owen Wilson At Parc AGAIN With Paul Rudd And Arthur Kade Hovering

Friday, August 7th, 2009

Hopefully, they’ve got a cot in the back for Owen Wilson, who was spotted last night again at Parc with manfriend Paul Rudd. Ol’ Eli Cash must really like the baguettes. Meanwhile, says our tipster — we swear these have all come from different people, it’s bizarre — “Arthur Kade was in the bathroom primping, [...]

Someone Famous Went Somewhere Once: Owen Wilson And Wayne Rogers At Parc, Separately

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

According to our tipster — note: it’s not the Arthur Kade Dirty Glass Girl, though we really do need to check in with her to see how things worked out — Owen Wilson and Wayne Rogers both dined at Parc on Rittenhouse Square last night, though not together. That is all. But as we started [...]

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Says our reader: “Spotted: Reid from The Bachelorette @ Tria on 18th and Sansom… looking very tan and still glowing from his 15 minutes…” which prompts the obvious question: Does Someone Who Was Only Famous Once (Very Briefly) qualify as Someone Famous Who Went Somewhere Once, even if the place where they went was somewhere [...]
