What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. Sex: The Revolution (Mon, 10PM-11PM, VH1) Part one of a four-part series on sex! Hooray!

The next episodes follow on succeeding nights, also at 10PM, with the last one airing Thursday night. 1000 Ways to Die (Wed, 11PM-11:30PM, Spike) This is......

We bring you the buzz from the 215 blogs this week. The Clog is recruiting Flyers fans in Pittsburgh for a bit of mischief. We assume this is in response to something some Pittsburgh person did to slight our fair city and/or our hockey team, but this Phillyist isn't enough of a sports fan to know these things. Anyway, The Clog forgot step three: take a picture (it'll last longer). PSoTD noted that the military......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Actress Isabella Rossellini's latest project is a series of two-minute films called Green Porno commissioned by the Sundance Channel. In them, she impersonates various small creatures to show how they reproduce. We kid you not.

Nudar. If you’re wondering if it is what it sounds like, then chances are, you’re spot on. It’s exactly what it sounds like. Nudar (NSFW) is, as the website states, “radar for strip clubs and nudity.” Whether you’re on the hunt for anything from a tasteful nudist resort to a seedy all-nude review, Nudar is a must for those looking for “hawt n00dz” on the go. The software is currently in beta testing and......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. This is truly beautiful news: icanhascheezburger.com is teaming up with Jones Soda to create lolcat soda. There's even a contest to create more lolcat images specifically for the soda bottle labels. (Via Sarah) Some photos apparently taken by a spy on the Star Trek set have made their way online (via). They give us a look at a uniform and a shuttlecraft. For......

Biodegradable beer cups were the news of the day over at The Illadelph, which lauded Aramark's move toward more environmentally-friendly containers for the liver- and waistline-destroying treats served at Citizens Bank Park. Also, did you know that on opening day Phillies fans will eat, among other things, 15,000 hot dogs, 6,000 soft pretzels and 5,000 cheesesteaks? With bikini season just around the corner, we shudder to think of the implications. Attytood discussed the Tonya Harding......

Interim Philadelphia schools chief Tom Brady will be heading to Providence, R.I. in early June to become superintendent there. The Liberty City Lesbian and Gay Democratic Club is endorsing Larry Farnese for the Pennsylvania state Senate, and Hillary Clinton for president. The club will also co-sponsor a presidential forum at 7:45 p.m. tomorrow at Woody's. Clinton's representative at the forum will be her daughter Chelsea, while Obama has Melissa Etheridge conference calling in on......

We recently reported on Jim McGreevey and his soon-to-be ex-wife Dina Matos McGreevey's three-way sex parties (aka "Friday night specials"), a story leaked by one of the ex-governor's ex-aides (sense a theme here?). While Dina vehemently denies the allegations, Jim has admitted that the trysts took place. Obviously, one of them is lying—but which one? Our money is on Dina, who stands to lose about $600,000 if her claim that the ex-gov defrauded her by......

Not content to sit idly by while New York's elected leaders have all the illicit fun (albeit with a Jersey girl), Jersey's been brewing another scandal of its own. Remember how Jim McGreevey came out as a "gay American" and his wife purported to be as shocked as the rest of us? Well, it turns out that may have been just an act, because apparently she'd had three-ways with her husband and another man prior......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (Mon, 8PM-10PM, Fox) Terminator is finishing up its first season already (boo!) with a special two-hour episode, featuring John and Derek disagreeing over whether they can trust Cameron; Cromartie still tracking John; and Ellison finding out he has an enemy inside the FBI.

Phillyist's favorite news item this morning is this one: twin 25-year-old internet hardcore gay porn stars Keyontyli and Taleon Goffney (apparently known as Keyon and Teyon in the biz), of New Jersey, have been arrested for a series of robberies in Philadelphia and New Jersey wherein they gained entry to businesses by cutting holes in the roofs using a handsaw and ax. In Nether Providence, they broke into Wawas, and Chief Richard Slifer of......

Forgive "boss," but I've been listening to a lot of James Brown so that has somehow crept back into my vernacular. Today is one of those days when, if you have a crappy commute like this Phillyist, you may be working from home. Which means that in between checking e-mails and working on files, you can fit in a little "you" time. Don't take this gift of a day and waste it with cleaning or......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Hey, it's Valentine's Day! Or, as we're going to call it from now on, Horny Werewolf Day! To celebrate the day, we offer you links to geeky valentines of the naughty, mean, and sweet varieties (via), as well as some super-nerdy comic book valentines from Chris Sims (definitely check out all of them, as the last one is seriously hilarious, and seriously wrong).......

Dear La Petite Mort, I think my game is broken. I haven't been out on multiple dates in years. I'll admit, I'm sort of a particular guy. If I want to see There Will Be Blood and she wants to see 27 Dresses, done. If I want to talk about Obama and all she can say is, Oh Britney! she's finished. It might seem picky, but I never want to settle. If she's too short,......

Dear La Petite Mort, I just got out of a relationship but I have been missing getting my "itch" scratched on a regular basis. I was at WCL a few months ago and I met this tall drink of water who doesn't mind being my human scratching post. But the more time we spend together, the more I think we might work as a couple. How do I make the transition from Girl Friday Night......

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! In honor of kicking off our new sex column (write in!), I wanted to share my top 10 songs for your La Perla pleasure. A quick glance at this list might make you......

The French call it La Petite Mort. Literally translated, it means the little death. The phrase refers to the orgasm. I like the idea of a larger definition, one that transcends those explosive moments of bliss. I want you to talk to me about the little deaths, good ones and bad ones, that come before, after, and during the act of sex. Starting today, La Petite Mort is also the title of Phillyist's new sex......

You gotta wonder about Penn students (and alums too, as it turns out): they shoot up terrorists, steal panties, and now apparently they adopt other people’s identities and swindle them out of loads of cash. To be fair though, Drexel does share some part of the latter, seeing as one of the accused is still a student there. You all know what we’re talking about right? Because it’s in the friggin international news! So Philly......

The cold weather - and holiday festivities - descended upon Gothamist. The Rockefeller Christmas tree was lit, Broadway stagehand finally ended their strike, and NASCAR decided to run their victory lap through Times Square. There were disturbing photographs revealing the working conditions in which many city manholes are produced and ninjas were also a hot topic, either robbing homes or entering into alibis. But the city was really rocked by how Rudy Giuliani's visits......

Use caution if you're travelling around the area this morning - there's actually snow on the roads north and west of the city, and 2 to 7 inches in northeastern parts of the state, and the weather has already caused some accidents and downed power lines. Some schools are opening late or canceling their morning kindergarten; check out NBC10's full list of school closings here. Mayor Street, "once regarded as Public Enemy No. 1......

Love in the Time of Cholera is a good example of a bad adaptation. Garcia Marquez fans realize, I hope, that the man’s strengths don’t easily translate to film, so you shouldn’t be shocked to learn that the film Love in the Time of Cholera feels more like an adaptation of a GGM-inspired Saturday morning cartoon than of the novel itself. Cholera the film is a fairly ordinary Hollywood period piece; it’s the sort of......

What's new and/or interesting in Philly theaters this weekend. Finishing the Game - We posted the preview for this one a ways back. It's a mockumentary about director Robert Clouse's attempt to finish the film Game of Death after the untimely death of its star, Bruce Lee. In Finishing the Game, Clouse starts a frantic search for an impersonator to replace Lee, and much wackiness and Hollywood satire ensue. Sounds like fun, but keep in......

When a performer is a standard bearer and larger than life in his or her field, it's hard to escape knowing who that person is, even if you only have a passing interest in his or her art. This Phillyist isn't particularly interested in cinema or dramatic theater, for example, but still knows who Orson Welles and John Barrymore are, if only vaguely. Similarly, one cannot be familiar even in passing with modern dance and......

The Inquirer discusses the Pennsylvania Supreme Court race and the possible repercussions on the Philadelphia area. The police now have a suspect in the death of police officer Chuck Cassidy - 21-year-old John Lewis of North Philadelphia - and have issued an arrest warrant for him. The search for him has intensified, and police and his relatives are asking him to turn himself in. Lewis is armed and dangerous; click through for a description......

Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Lisa Aversa Richette - a controversial advocate of society's disadvantaged - died of lung cancer this past Friday. She was 79. Here's an article about the complex planning going into tonight's Democratic presidential debates at Drexel. The Inquirer has the details on two local child-sex cases; a 52-year-old former scoutmaster from Mont Clare is looking at 16 to 40 years in prison after pleading guilty to having sex with a......
