Every weekday of December (except for December 25, that is), Phillyist will be counting down to 2008 with our highlights from the past year and our predictions for the next. If you have a list you'd like to submit, let us know! Twelve months and ten epochal collapses later, we're nearing 2008 and a fresh calendar year for career (or structural) decimation. Let's count 'em down from 10: 10. Pete Doherty (again) 2007 hasn’t been......

Austinist gets arty with an interactive guide to SXSW, loved some local art galleries and a new art exhibit and lamented the possible loss of "Friday Night Lights" production to New Mexico. Bostonist was happy they finally found an Anna Nicole Smith connection to their fair city and that an Apple Store was opening up. They were less happy that new rules have been established limiting underage shows and that their Governor is spending......

Valentine's Day is only a few days away, and we here across the Gothamist network wanted to express would like to tell you, in the spirit of the holiday, just how much we love you, our readers. Don't let it get to your heads, though. There are plenty of things we love, you included. Just be glad you're not amongst the things we hate. SFist saw their beloved mayor enter rehab, and they loved the......

Editor's Note: We just posted a quick note about this, but staff writer Pencopal had her own thoughts on the subject that she wanted to share with you. We've always been fascinated by Anna Nicole Smith. From being a famous model to marrying an 89 year old, her life cascaded down a slippery slope, but over the years she provided tons of entertainment. The train wreck that was Anna Nicole Smith's life has come to......

This has nothing at all to do with Philadelphia, but as Thursday is celebrity day, we wanted to take a moment to inform our readers that Anna Nicole Smith, long-time butt of jokes on "This Week in Celebrity..." collapsed earlier today in a Florida hotel, and was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. The cause of death is not yet known, but we'll definitely run updates next Thursday, if not sooner. Image via Slate.......

Because sometimes, life gets in the way... DCist: No, thank you. Miamist: This answers a question we've had for a long time. Gothamist: We just can't help but think about South Park. Austinist: First she gets published before us. Then she gets to be national news before us. We hope that bitch fries. (Just kidding. Really.) LAist: They make it seem so tempting!

Our -ist brethren are busy busy busy! Here's some of what you missed since we last checked in. Parisist presents: things you can do with cork. We think. But then again, we don't speak French. We just look at the pictures. Gothamist: "It's his fault for thinking he could be as good as me. He didn't didn't [sic] do any back handsprings after that." We decline further comment -- you'll just have to click through.......

Philadelphia was the site of one of several Live 8 concerts this past Summer, and Anna Nicole Smith's appearance at the show in the City of Brotherly Love has prompted a lawsuit. Apparently, Smith showed up "intoxicated and scantily clad" and Trimspa failed to pay organizers a promotional fee in the amount of $320,000. Phillyist finds it hilarious that Trimspa has to pay people to put Anna Nicole Smith in the line up, but we......
