ICE PACK ILLUSTRATED: Batman in, Seacrest out, goodbye Sally Starr and Dr. Cosmo
The Painted Bride Quarterly and poetess Kathleen Volk host a reading at the Black Sheep’s second floor (247 S. 17th) on April 12 with Philly expat Samantha Barrow, D&M and Maleka Fruean.
WHOWHATWHERE: There I was watching Philly’s Marsha Ambrosius doing her thing — selling out the TLA — the other night when I swore I spied Patti Labelle running by me. Three minutes later Labelle’s on stage with Marsha, and the two are launching into the Labelle classic “If Only You Knew.” When the pride of Red Bank NJ, director Kevin Smith sold out the Keswick for his one man monologue, he turned it into a two-man show by bringing on the “Jay” (Jason Mewes) to Smith’s “Silent Bob.” Smith also discussed how he’s probably going to quit directing after his hockey flick, Hit Somebody starring West Chester’s Kyle Gallner (as Wayne Gretzky) goes before the lens in 2012 — that after he releases his new horror film, Red State. Stoner rap god Wiz Khalifa made a pit stop at Hot Topic just to drum up interest in his new CD Rolling Papers. Britain’s The Joy Formidable had pop matters to attend to when they hit 104.5 FM to promote what could be the dumbest album title ever, A Balloon Called Moaning. Comedian Jackie “The Jokeman” Martling and Angel Porrino, from E!’s Holly’s World paid a visit to Port Fishington’s Invisible Studios to film several commercials. At his Parx Casino promo spot, Mike Sorrentino hung out with his family while security scrutinized the Situation’s situation. That’s because the Jersey Shore star’s security is handled by his brother Marc.
Money well spent: On March 19, when Marc Vetri got together a baker’s dozen of Philadelphia’s finest chefs at Urban Outfitters Headquarters at the Navy Yard to support ACHIEVEability. They raised $185,000. On March 29, when Zama restaurant along Rittenhouse Row hosted a benefit dinner for the people of Japan at a $100 per person, over 100 people came to support Chef Hiroyuki “Zama” Tanaka (including Eagles’ tackle Winston Justice) and raised $14,500.
