Oprah’s said it. The helpful Victoria Secret clerks say it. Our great-aunt Holly used to say it all the time: a well-fitting bra makes the woman. Today you can acquire said well-fitting brassiere and help raise money for breast cancer research at the same time at Fit for the Cure. Wacoal certified fitters will be on hand in the lingerie department at Macy’s Center City today from 11AM-5PM; for every woman who participates in a fitting of a Wacoal or DKNY bra, they will donate $2 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. For every Wacoal or DKNY bra purchased, they will donate an additional $2. Unfortunately it does specify “every woman;” we were kind of hoping to head over with some guys and guilt them into trying something on “for the cause.” Oh, well, have to save that for a Saturday night at home…

A whole slew of new listings now that the new year has begun. We couldn't fit them all here, so be sure you follow the jump to see what else is opening in the Greater Philadelphia region. Now, on with the listings!

UPDATE: Oops! I forgot links! I've added them now, and made a few other tweaks.

LAist began the month with a new food series exploring the popular and unknown late night eats around town. If a Top Chef winner opened up a late night spot in Los Angeles, denizens would flock it, yet the LA Times and other media might be wary. Turning to sports, the Dodger season was quite memorable in the way that it imploded and the LA County Sheriff's Department made some games of their own such as "Operation Any Booking," where the object was to arrest as many people as possible within a specific 24-hour period (some might suspect these cops can be found on HotChicksWithDoucheBags). The crazy stories continue in an interview with Brandon D. Christopher, author of Dirty Little Altar Boy, and a Santa Monica College Professor being blamed for the Burma web blackout.

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.

As part of the Music and Conversation series, Andrea Ceccomori and Elitza Harbova will perform and discuss works for flute and piano by living Italian and American composers.

Sometimes, it's hard to resist the hate. You may not be having an especially bad day – you may in fact be in a good mood. But sometimes the snark comes so naturally that you have to marinate in it. Like it's Lawry's.

We are dumbfounded as to why the New York Post’s Page Six gossip column has been following the saga of the love life of KYW’s Alycia Lane, but it has provided some odd entertainment since the spring. In case you don’t know, the tabloid broke the story of Lane sending e-mails containing bikini photos of herself to NFL Network anchor Rich Eisen which were intercepted by his wife, ABC Sports reporter Suzy Shuster.

Stardust is mediocre. It’s the usual good versus evil, with witches, pirates, magic spells and a magic land. It has humorous scenes, but some scenes are just plain cheesy. Watching Robert DeNiro act like something other than a mean bastard was refreshing, and seeing Michelle Pfeiffer in another witch role was well, okay, but I’ve seen her in this role before, so I wanted something a little different.

This week's quote comes directly from Lord Byron himself, as we honor him with the first listing of the week. Although possessing of a clubfoot and a thing for his half-sister, Byron still managed to be England's most eligible bachelor of his day. Looking at the portrait on the left, we can kinda see it. Now, on with the listings!

Everyone’s nervous about parking their car in dodgy areas regardless of whether we’re driving a new Jaguar or an early 90’s Crown Victoria like Phillyist does. The truth of the matter is, however, that owners of older cars are in more danger of getting their cars stolen for a vast number of reasons, but that’s not what this is about. This is about where car theft in Philadelphia ranks among major metropolitan areas throughout the country. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) we’re doing pretty well, but not that well.
