...Stupid: This isn't a stupid celebrity, so much as a stupid fan. A Kanye West fan showed up at the artist's Birmingham, England show sans ticket and decided that the best way to get into the concert would be by firing at the security guards in his way. (Via E! Online)

It should come as no surprise that Phillyist is aggressively local. And why not? There’s good livin’ in Philadelphia - cheap real estate (compared to other Eastern cities, anyway), restaurants and culture that hold their own at the very least, and teams in every major sport that, even if they’re not always good, are always fun to follow.
