If you haven't noticed, we love to get press releases at Phillyist because they make us feel really important. When we're riding the Blue Line around the city (y'know, just to meet people), we carry around these releases so that bored people reading Us Weekly or National Geographic Traveler will look at us and go, "Hey, that person has a press release. That person has become important all of a sudden."

Brad Pitt can't keep his hands off... Philly, it seems. Us Weekly announced that the Mr. and Mrs. Smith star will be joining Mr. Will Smith at Live 8 this weekend. And Pitt's possibly pregnant friend Angelina Jolie? It's rumored that she will be on hand for the festivities, but nothing's been confirmed. In addition to this big, um, addition, various outlets have confirmed that Kanye West, whose debut album, The College Dropout, was one of the best selling discs of 2004, will perform at Philadelphia's Live 8 show. Sound checks start tomorrow morning and will resume on Saturday morning, even as people fill up the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. We hear Maroon 5 totally kills during sound check. Finally, rumors still swirl around acts that may or may not show up in Philadelphia, including Bruce Springsteen, Weezer, Bob Dylan, and Ludacris. Some call it anticipation, but we call it "Um, they still haven't finalized all of this?" Philadelphians can shut up about one issue, though: the city finally signed its contract with Live 8 organizers yesterday. The city will receive $350,000 from the concert organizers. Once the concert is over, we here at Phillyist will turn our heads with the rest of Philadelphia from the toilets to the Mayor's office: "How exactly will he blow all of this cash?" we'll ask.
