Oprah’s said it. The helpful Victoria Secret clerks say it. Our great-aunt Holly used to say it all the time: a well-fitting bra makes the woman. Today you can acquire said well-fitting brassiere and help raise money for breast cancer research at the same time at Fit for the Cure. Wacoal certified fitters will be on hand in the lingerie department at Macy’s Center City today from 11AM-5PM; for every woman who participates in a......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. TCM 31 Days of Oscar (All week) TCM is celebrating the Oscars by playing Oscar-winning films pretty much all day, every day this month. It's a great way to catch up on some classic films you've never gotten around to watching. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (Mon, 9PM-10PM, Fox) John becomes separated from his mother and Cameron, and discovers the future may be even more bleak than......

LAist began the month with a new food series exploring the popular and unknown late night eats around town. If a Top Chef winner opened up a late night spot in Los Angeles, denizens would flock it, yet the LA Times and other media might be wary. Turning to sports, the Dodger season was quite memorable in the way that it imploded and the LA County Sheriff's Department made some games of their own......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. You might have heard about a little game called Halo 3 getting released late last night/early this morning. Game|Life has the details on the midnight release party at a Best Buy in Manhattan, while Joystiq covers a non-launch in Boston and an actual, celebrity-infested launch in LA. Beware, however! Rumor is that the limited edition packaging for the......

Sometimes, it's hard to resist the hate. You may not be having an especially bad day – you may in fact be in a good mood. But sometimes the snark comes so naturally that you have to marinate in it. Like it's Lawry's. Today is one of those days for two Phillyists who found themselves in an e-mail conversation about Tori Amos, lactating, and people we'd like to have killed. This may be in poor......

We are dumbfounded as to why the New York Post’s Page Six gossip column has been following the saga of the love life of KYW’s Alycia Lane, but it has provided some odd entertainment since the spring. In case you don’t know, the tabloid broke the story of Lane sending e-mails containing bikini photos of herself to NFL Network anchor Rich Eisen which were intercepted by his wife, ABC Sports reporter Suzy Shuster. Yesterday, Page......

Stardust is mediocre. It’s the usual good versus evil, with witches, pirates, magic spells and a magic land. It has humorous scenes, but some scenes are just plain cheesy. Watching Robert DeNiro act like something other than a mean bastard was refreshing, and seeing Michelle Pfeiffer in another witch role was well, okay, but I’ve seen her in this role before, so I wanted something a little different. I didn’t care for the emphasis on......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. Show Me the Money (Tue; 9:30PM-11PM; ABC) - In this exceedingly long premier episode, the producers of "Deal or No Deal" present what they hope will be the next big game show hit. We're not sure why they chose as their title a catch phrase from an old movie that became annoying almost as soon as it became popular, but we do like their host: it's The......

This week's quote comes directly from Lord Byron himself, as we honor him with the first listing of the week. Although possessing of a clubfoot and a thing for his half-sister, Byron still managed to be England's most eligible bachelor of his day. Looking at the portrait on the left, we can kinda see it. Now, on with the listings! Arcadia - Once, Phillyist met a cowboy named Byron. When we said, “Oh, like the......

Everyone’s nervous about parking their car in dodgy areas regardless of whether we’re driving a new Jaguar or an early 90’s Crown Victoria like Phillyist does. The truth of the matter is, however, that owners of older cars are in more danger of getting their cars stolen for a vast number of reasons, but that’s not what this is about. This is about where car theft in Philadelphia ranks among major metropolitan areas throughout......
