Philarazzi

Owen WilsonWe're sure by now you've heard or read some buzz about Marley & Me being filmed here on our home turf. Oh, you haven't? Then crawl out from under the rubble, heathens.

Yesterday, Owen Wilson (you know, that guy from Bottle Rocket) and McSteamy (you know, that adultery-causer from Grey's Anatomy) filmed at least one scene at the corner of Broad and Walnut. The scene, it would stand to reason, contained some dialogue (though, we heard none from our post on the northwest corner), an Owen Wilson/McSteamy embrace, an Owen Wilson finger point and a trip on the worst subway system in any major metropolitan area.

Hipsters stood by ordering the public when to start and stop crossing the street, two-way radios affixed to their western shirts, just below their displayed collar bones.

Meanwhile, co-star Jennifer Aniston was nowhere to be found—it was later learned that she wasn't filming any scenes. Maybe she'll be lurking around the city today, tomorrow, or over the weekend. Keep your eyes peeled for an attractive, sandy blond fox with slightly erect nipples (seriously, was there an episode of Friends where they weren't cutting glass?).

At any rate, stars abound in this fair city. They're out of the box and roaming the streets of Philadelphia just waiting to be found.

When you find one, take a picture because it will last longer than your creepy gaze. (Pee-wee taught us that.)

Ciao.
