Sorry that I keep letting you know this in drips-and-drabs, but it’s funner this way — for me. So you’ll want to catch up with the Paranoia film crew as soon as you can the next few weeks. Mostly, Robert Lukatic and co. are filming indoors throughout Center City and off-South Street, Greater Philly Film org doyenne Sharon Pinkenson told me that the stars and the production crew should be leaving town right before Christmas. Can someone get Han Solo and Commissioner Gordon a holiday tray from Tashan quick? And what about our city’s other kinda-sorta Para-visitor Miley Cyrus? She recorded several tracks for her Dirty South-influenced new CD at MilkBoy Studio on Seventh Street when she was here visiting Liam Hemsworth during those sweltering summer months. The studio’s owners (hey Tom Joyner) say that the tracks’ producers aren’t scheduled yet to return for last minute edits and cutting new vocal tracks but anything is possible.

Remember that old school rap attack Schoolly D/Public Enemy hook up I told you about a few weeks ago? That teaming gets its first date together at the Liacouras Center this weekend, Dec 1. Plus PE’s Chuck D is going to release the new Schoolly record Chocolate Spider on the online label HipHopGods soon with a hard CD and vinyl release on Goldminded Records.

I don’t know if our friends at the PMA made the cut (I’m looking at you, Norman Keyes and Gigi Lamm) but there’s a cool video of the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s peeps doing the PSY “Gangnam Style” dance here.

Speaking of oddball museum fun, CA Conrad is doing one of his famous (Soma)tic Poetry Exercises this Wed., Dec. 5, commissioned by/at the Wagner Museum of Science, one of this city’s most loved but least appreciated museums at 1700 West Montgomery Ave. Details here.

My longtime DJ gal pal Maria V brings back her hot-n-heavy Papi Chulo dance jamboree to the Gayhood’s ICandy spot on S. 12th Street every last Thursday starting tonight, Nov. 29. Be there for bracing thrills.

Speaking of hot and bracing, Philly’s been-away-awhile rap mistress Eve has a new naughty cut “She Bad Bad” out in the universe with a new album due for a 2013 debut. Check the video here.

Anybody who recalls the heady days of the much-missed Five Spot’s Black Lily nights or was too young to be a part of the Roots-driven experience can get a feel for the funk on Nov. 30 at Scribe Video Center as they unveil Leaked Night at the Five Spot, filmmakers Mike Dennis and Daryl DeBrest’s look at Mercedes Martinez and Tracey Moore (Jazzyfatnastees) gal bash which ran from 2000-2005 starring Floetry, Kindred The Family Soul, Lady Alma and Jaguar Wright. Alma will be on board to do a live vibing presentation that night.

Busy week for DJ D24K. On Nov. 30, he kicks off his night at Frankford Avenue’s Barbarella, for a little party called Fever then, on Dec. 5, D2’s part of The Shakedown presents Red Bull Public Assembly #3 with Osunlade, King Britt, Lady Alma (again!), Rob Paine, Willyum and Dirty at Underground Arts.

Philly scribe Sasha Issenberg just got the nod from Politico.com as one of this year’s top 10 newbie news writers for his work at Slate and his stellar authorship of The Victory Lab: The Secret Science of Winning Campaigns. Congrats.

If you’re not too busy boozing it up or watching the go-go girls, may I remind you that the Trestle Inn has food. Fiiiiiiiine food too. They’ll dress up a new menu starting Dec 5 with all the pomp-and-circumstance it does its dancers.

Another DJ night starts Thu., Nov. 29, a deep bluesy one at South Street’s newest swanky bar from Bill “Copa” Curry and his family: Redwoods. Wild blues DJ Kitty Crumb is the girlfriend of Redwood’s retro pompadour-ed bartender Dorian DeTappan. Go, cats.

WHOWHATWHERE: Last week, we caught Stephen Starr at the Philly Style Men’s Issue party at his Barclay Prime then at the second anniversary of his Granite Hill/Starr Catering association with the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This week, we see that he’s caught the eye of one of CNBC’s money management programs. Before her big sold out shoe at the Wells Fargo Center, country cutie Carrie Underwood stopped by Ryan Seacrest’s Foundation venue at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. When director Judd Apatow stopped into the Ritz 5 to discuss This Is 40 with one of the film’s co-stars Ian Laperriere of the Flyers, by his side, the auteur managed to make time to mange at Marc Vetri’s North Broad Street nosheria, Osteria. When Tommy Up opened his swellegantt dark high-end porn-named cocktail boite Emmanuelle in back of PYT at the Piazza, the ready-to-open Concrete Blonde mistress of Top Chef, Jennifer Carroll, was on board to help pop its top. Hey Dr. J, what-you out so late: Julius Erving hit up Zee Bar late last Friday night. Marky Ramone showed off his Brooklyn Made sauce and signed drum heads (not a euphemism for the hairy skulls of percussionists) at last weekend’s Not Just Rock Expo in da suburbs, along with meeting up with Led Zep expert Denny Somach. Megan and Liz and on-air Q102 DJ Maxwell did a ribbon cutting for Blue Cross River Rink and a free Q102 Jingle Ball preview gig with Katie Fehlinger from CBS3 and Rinky — the spot’s mascot — on board. The rootsy and the rocking Gaslight Anthem made a visit to Radio 104.5’s iHeart Radio Performance Theater in Bala Cynwyd. Long Island medium Theresa Caputo visited Aerosmith backstage before the Boston bruisers bashed it out at Revel in Atlantic City last Friday night. She even got a side-of-the-stage hug from Nicki Minaj basher Steven Tyler. Also, good on Aerosmith: The band met with a group of Hurricane Sandy first-responders from the Atlantic City and Brigantine areas and applauded their recovery efforts. Good on them all.
