Someone Famous Went Somewhere Once: Bradley Cooper Is All Over Delco

Friday, October 28th, 2011

It seems that when Bradley Cooper signs on for a film, he has two stipulations: it must film in the Philly area, and Robert DeNiro must be in it. The Jenkintown native is all over Delco right now (and we do mean all over: Upper Darby, Drexel Hill, Swarthmore, Ridley Park, etc.) filming David O. [...]

Someone Famous Went Somewhere Once: The Dude A-Barnes

Friday, June 10th, 2011

On Wednesday, the one and only Jeff Bridges visited The Barnes Foundation. We love how, in this picture, he’s got that same look on his face that he has in The Big Lebowski when he’s briefly considering Bunny’s offer of a $1000 blowjob. Do you know of Someone Famous Who Went Somewhere Once in Philadelphia? [...]

Friday, March 18th, 2011

A tipster tells us that he just saw: Billy Baldwin, at the Marriott Hotel Starbucks. In town for the NCAA wrestling championships. Had a special order that the staff apparently couldn’t fulfill. You know, there’s so many weird disgusting options at every Starbucks in America that if you can’t walk out of there “happy” with [...]

Someone Famous Went Somewhere Once: John Bolaris, Last Night, Drinking Alone, At Kung Fu Necktie

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

A little sad, and we don’t mean it in the mean way. We almost wouldn’t believe it, but the tipster is so reliable we have to take them at their word. She texted us, describing the scene, and we jokingly replied, “Get him! Take him down!” She said, “It wouldn’t be fair. He’s only five [...]

Someone Famous Went Somewhere Once: Bradley Cooper Loves Wood (We Knew It!)

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Bradley Cooper: He’s like Arthur Kade but with everything that Arthur Kade wants and does not have. (Work, a sense of irony, the basic skills required to fill out the census form, we could go on.) I mean, seriously, just look at that douche: That smug Lame Elvis lip, the conjuring of “street hands.” Is [...]

Someone Famous Went Somewhere Once: Michael Lohan At South Philly Bar & Grill

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

HughE has been trying to explain to us how this dark vortex of celebrity boxing, fameballs and gross dads came to land in South Philly, but really, we need not wonder: The South Philly business community has been inviting this kind of rapture for years now. And while we could opine about how much better [...]

Philadelphia Flower Show Designer Sam Lemheney (tan jacket) and PHS President Elect Drew Becher lead Midler on a tour of the 2010 Philadelphia International Flower Show, “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 [...]

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 issues, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
