Icepack Illustrated: Are you Paranoid? Would you converse with your enemies? Could you be Fond elsewhere?
Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, Liam Hemsworth and director Robert Luketic want you to be in their movie Paranoid when it starts filming in Philly later this month. Actually, those four guys could care less who is in their movie. It's Diane Heery of Heery Casting that needs upscale business folk and hip beautiful people (not to be confused with hipster doofuses) of all ages and sexes to be background extras. Check heerycasting.com and know that you'll be rubbing elbows too with Richard Dreyfuss who just got added to the cast. Maybe Ford and he can talk about American Graffiti. Also while you're at Heery, drop them some photos if you're a guy in great physical shape. Sigourney Weaver's Political Animals is still looking for a few good men, militarily speaking that is, through July 15.
Icepack Illustrated: Are you Paranoid? Would you converse with your enemies? Could you be Fond elsewhere?
Philly’s favorite comic book power-pop peeps, Conversations with Enemies, is having a party this Saturday (July 7) at Johnny Brenda’s for their second album The Good Times. Like 2009’s Nowhere OK, their new CD comes with a 20-page color comic volume featuring panels from area artists, this time starring locals Kristyn Fayewicz, Jessica Lowe and the all-of-15 years old Rhiannon Iwer. That’s got to be pricey. While The Good Times’ CD features gobs of sarcastically lyrical and melodic song, the comic book is highlighted by a romantic entanglement between a werewolf pirate, a vampire a devil.

Now-buff Derek Dorsey, co-owner of The Fire (get that man some carbs), has a roommate who just happens to have her own gallery in someone else’s home in South Kensington. The 1522 Salon at 1522 N. Lawrence is Natalie Beckwith’s baby and together with Michael Yoder the pair host their “Two Squares” exhibition starting July 6.
As the pasta bowl turns: The 1537 S. 11th St spot along the East Passyunk dining corridor that was earmarked for what Gordon “Birra” Dinerman was calling the Fountainhead (an Ayn Rand burger joint?) has just found new owners. While Dinerman moved his newest concept into Old City (Barra of which we reported on last week) Fond co-owners Jessie Prawlucki and Lee Styer have taken over the 1537 location for Fond, their stealthily healthful food boite at 1617 E. Passyunk. No word on what will happen to the old (still current) Fond spot but the new one should be ready by late autumn. Prawlucki can also be fond, I mean, found at her Belle Cakery at 1437 E. Passyunk, right across from the Ac-a-mee.
WHOWHATWHERE: As the first cast of Jersey Shore ungracefully gets ready to end its tenure in Seaside Heights next week, two things caught my eye. One is that the now-pregnant Snooki was spied pushing beer, Coors Lite yet, in a baby stroller. Fine. The other is that Deena Cortese was fined $106 after pleading guilty to dancing in the road and not using the sidewalk. Really. In other shore points, Mary J. Blige did the Atlantic City party circuit last weekend, first in the VIP area of Caesars Toga Bar then at Ivan Kane’s Royal Jelly Burlesque hot spot at Revel. Ellen Burstyn, in Philly shooting the aforementioned Political Animals hung with the mayor and the governor for the Celebration of Freedom ceremony at Independence Hall. Slow week for Ms. Burstyn. On the local radio station tip, both Jack Black and Kyle Gass — Tenacious D to you — stopped by Radio 104.5’s iHeart Radio Performance Theater before playing Festival Pier, as did the wonky Walk the Moon. Lastly, there’s poor Bruce Jenner who looked more frozen than ever (it’s either an overabundance of Botox or the shock of being away from the Kardashians clan where he wears the skirts) when the 1976 Olympic gold medalist showed up at Parx Casino on Saturday. Guy needs a break.
