Philly-based sketch comedy troupe Camp Woods just upped their game with a brilliantly conceived video on Funny or Die. What happens when you take one of Southern hip-hop's most outlandish personalities, shoot him into space and force him to watch crappy movies? That's right, you get Mystery Science André 3000.

So good. ?uesto sat in. Tina Fey was also on the show, and she and the Roots drummer shared a moment. XOXO Philly etc.
Move over, Lil' Wayne, over-the-hill super star Betty White is about to bust all up on the rap charts with her remix of English singer-songwriter Luciana’s “I’m Still Hot.”
She croons genius lines like “I will get you sweaty because I’m Big Betty!” with elderly gusto, all while groping a snake and surrounded by sexy, shirtless men. People just can't get enough of this lady.

View galleryCP reporter Brandon Baker fills you in on what went down at Outfest this weekend.
With Beyoncé blaring on one end of Locust Street and Lady Gaga on the other, it didn't take much to clue folks in that something huge and gay was happening in Center City yesterday . It was Philly OutFest (or Philly Pride 2.0) and it drew an estimated crowd of 25,000 gays and allies alike.
The main stage, located at the intersection of 13th and Locust streets, played host to a variety of LGBTQ-themed contests and speeches, including a workout session by a pec-tacular 12th Street Gym trainer, a classic rabbit-out-of-the-hat-type magic show. and a surprise appearance by PA Attorney General candidate Patrick Murphy, who delivered an energizing speech about the wrongs of sexual orienation discrimination in the workplace.
Additionally, Mayor Michael Nutter made an appearance at 2 p.m. to dedicate the second LGBTQ historic marker in the state to Giovanni’s Room, the oldest LGBTQ bookstore in the country.
Other random attractions at the show included the now-traditional mechanical bull, iCandy’s seductive tent of underwear-donned studs and — my personal favorite — a rotating orb where I spotted a sassy girl clutching onto her lit cigarette with her lips as she rotated in a circle for five minutes.
And then the Green Party candidate for sheriff goes crowd-surfing during "Bitchin' Camaro."
