National outlets may be covering the fires, but CNN also found it is easier to buy a gun than fruit and... more ›

This week, Phillyist saw the waters of a landmark fountain run red for a Showtime marketing stunt, the Phils pull ahead, and some serious nostalgia.

Small has submitted his resignation, announced today by the Board of Regents Executive Committee. Some have noted that Small may only be the first of the... more ›

Proving to women everywhere that you can turn an, uh, adversarial situation into lots of bling, New York magazine reports that Jessica Cutler, shining star of Capitol Hill, has had the rights to her book, "The Washingtonienne," optioned by HBO. And not only has HBO optioned it, but Sarah Jessica Parker, who graced the channel for six years of "Sex and the City," will co-produce.
