The Daily News analyzes Paris Hilton's visit to the area yesterday, and comes to the rather surprising conclusion that she's a nice lady and her only real fault is that she's not punctual. The Philadelphia Museum of Art's exhibition of American artist Bruce Nauman has been selected to appear in the US Pavilion of the the 53rd Venice Biennale, "one of the most important art gatherings in the world." Mayor Nutter revoked a license given......

As it gets closer to Halloween for LAist, a contributer recollects her tale of staring down the serial killer, Richard Ramirez, otherwise known as the Night Stalker. Must think happy thoughts -- okay, free organic chocolate chip cookies for Los Angeles -- now that's a happy thought. Other happy Los Angeles thoughts include an interview with Jack Kehler of The Big Lebowski (he was the Dude's landlord), a beautiful and magical photographic moment in Venice......

LAist was comped front row seats by the Dodgers due to Malingering being struck by a foul ball last week, and she came back with some great photos, and earlier made fun of 4th of July on Venice Beach. But the biggest stories of the week was that the Mayor's Hot Tamale was revealed, and that a Kwik-E-Mart was erected in Burbank. Phillyist was busy doing the Fourth of July up right, exercising their......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. As we all know, because it is front page news across the country for some reason, Paris Hilton is currently in jail. No doubt there are cameras recording it all for a future reality TV show, but just in case there's not, you can experience her time in prison for yourself right now via the online game The Prison Life: Paris.......

Update: A few more sites have been added, and a few other fixes have been made. The -ists this week had politics on the brain. And what goes better with politics than partying? That's two great tastes in one. Oh, and Kevin Federline...can't forget about Kevin Federline.

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. We haven't watched them all yet, but so far we really love these "Gruesomestein's Monsters!" cartoons. There are six total, each five minutes long. The animation style has that clean, modern, cute-but-disgusting, highly exaggerated look to it that we enjoy, and the stories are quirky, creepy, and funny. It's a great way to waste half your lunch hour. (Via) Usually the sight of......

We know you might not be able to make it out to Delaware, or even to Media. But just in case you can, we've included Philly-area listings this week. And if you can't, there's still plenty going on in the city proper. The Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival - The festival, at De Sales University in Center Valley, is only producing one actual Shakespeare show (The Merchant of Venice), but don’t let that stop you: it looks......
