What's new and/or interesting in Philly theaters this weekend.

Philly sure can attract the celebrity. Yesterday Senator Hillary Clinton graced our fair walks to secure support from Governor Rendell and Mayor Nutter for her presidential bid. But her appearance pales in importance against the paragon of womanhood who is visiting us today. Yes, folks, that’s right: Paris Hilton is in town. Again. This time she’s not shilling perfume, but rather her new film The Hottie and the Nottie. Although it doesn’t get an official release for another couple of weeks, we think it is a shoo-in for a special honor on CinePhillyist, and we’ll place our bets on that now. Anyways, Ms. Hilton was on the 10 Show! this morning and will be visiting Franklin Mills Mall tonight from 6-7PM prior to the premiere of said instant-classic at the mall’s AMC. She’s not staying to actually watch it, since she’s not a masochist; it’s sadist all the way baby! Ronnie Polaneczky at the Daily News offers her some tips and history, much of which is interesting and thought-provoking. Especially the part about her getting a massage on one of the Minute Masseuse lounge chairs next to a feisty WWII vet. That’s Hot. (Oh, come on, you knew it was coming.)

5. After kidnapping her two children, Britney Spears goes on the lam before being finally caught in Old City, Philadelphia, attempting to stuff her sons into the Liberty Bell. Seems she thought it was a ride of some sort.

Paris Hilton, former celebutante/party girl/homemade video star and now alcoholic elephant advocate (thanks to Jim, Ross, and Sarah for that one) is releasing a new perfume called CAN CAN. (Get it? Because that's something they do in Paris. But then, so is this.) To celebrate, the formerly constipated jailbird will be at Macy's Center City today – and you can meet her! All you have to do is be one of the first 200...

...Wow: Just watch the video embedded here and marvel at the intelligence of the interviewer. (Via The Superficial.)

On July 17th, Michael Vick (among others) was indicted on myriad charges, including illegal dog fighting. You also shouldn't forget his weak attempt to "smuggle" a bong through airport security in January – a charge which was dropped because all tests on the confiscated substances came back negative. You'll also remember that in 2005, Vick was sued by a woman alleging that he passed herpes onto her while using the alias "Ron Mexico."

What with Paris Hilton's release earlier this week and the upcoming celebration of American Independence (sorry, Londonist!), we've been thinking a lot about freedom. Freedom to vote, freedom to choose, and most importantly, freedom to blog. Here are a few things we're happy we've been free to blog about this week.

When I first saw that SEPTA was conducting a campaign to cut down cell phone conversation on their trains, I have to say I was skeptical. No amount of pandering, I thought, would stop passengers from making incredibly urgent calls to talk about the prior night’s debauchery or the conflict at work that only a complete narcissist could spend more than five seconds thinking about. But, alas, I have to say the signs with the juvenile clip art seem to be working. In the last couple of weeks, I’ve definitely heard less high-maintenance drama queens whining about why the demise of their one-month relationship is the end of the world. Makes me think that SEPTA might want to get the five-year-olds at their advertising agency started on some other ideas. Campaign slogans have been provided.

We don't know about you, but this week has sucked so bad we wanted to pull Paris Hilton and cry, "Mommy, Mommy, it isn't fair."

Holy smokes! Giant fish on the MTA, Paris Hilton in jail, then out, then in again, Al Gore, goatses, blumpkins, Matt Damon, and baby art critics! It's been a busy week across the Ist-A-Verse, and here's a smattering of what's been going on.

...Cover Songs: Seriously, who in Shakira's entourage thought that covering AC/DC was a good idea? (Via Horny Oyster.)

...Misbehavior: It seems as if there's nothing that Britney Spears won't do. (Via The Superficial.)

The nicer the weather gets, the busier we get across the Ist-A-Verse. But we like being busy. Here's a peek at what we've been up to since last week!

There's so much going on across the Ist-a-Verse that it's almost impossible to keep track these days. Fortunately, we do it so you don't have to!

This week we'd like to congratulate the -ist network's Mother Hen, Gothamist's Jen Chung, who found herself a recipient of Wired Magazine's Wired Rave Award. If that doesn't sound terribly exciting, keep in mind another recipient was J.K. Rowling. Yep, that's right, the -ist network and Harry Potter now have something in common. Go us.
