Philly sure can attract the celebrity. Yesterday Senator Hillary Clinton graced our fair walks to secure support from Governor Rendell and Mayor Nutter for her presidential bid. But her appearance pales in importance against the paragon of womanhood who is visiting us today. Yes, folks, that’s right: Paris Hilton is in town. Again. This time she’s not shilling perfume, but rather her new film The Hottie and the Nottie. Although it doesn’t get an official release for another couple of weeks, we think it is a shoo-in for a special honor on CinePhillyist, and we’ll place our bets on that now. Anyways, Ms. Hilton was on the 10 Show! this morning and will be visiting Franklin Mills Mall tonight from 6-7PM prior to the premiere of said instant-classic at the mall’s AMC. She’s not staying to actually watch it, since she’s not a masochist; it’s sadist all the way baby! Ronnie Polaneczky at the Daily News offers her some tips and history, much of which is interesting and thought-provoking. Especially the part about her getting a massage on one of the Minute Masseuse lounge chairs next to a feisty WWII vet. That’s Hot. (Oh, come on, you knew it was coming.)

You'd think, being a four-year veteran of the force and all, she would have been aware of the whole security camera thing...
A number of interesting and generally solemn gatherings took place on Sunday, including a remembrance ceremony for the Jews who fought back against the Nazis, held at 16th Street and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, near "the first public monument in North America dedicated to the victims of the Nazi Holocaust;" and a panel discussion about the effect of the media on right to die cases, with speakers Michael Schiavo and Julia Quinlan, as part of a conference at U Penn entitled "The Legacy of the Terri Schiavo Case: Why Is It So Hard to Die in America?"

Believe it or not, Philadelphia isn't the only city with blogs. So, we decide to take a look around the world, examining their every blog and choosing the best posts. Coincidentally, they all came from within the Gothamist network. Can you imagine that? Craziness.
