NAKED COWBOY VISITS PHILLY & OTHER One Shot Wonders & Black & Yellow stopped in for a bite where?

As you know I have a column online at Philly Mag's The Post. Sometimes I take too many photos and the shelf time has run out for a run over there, but over hear I have no time line. Here are a few shots that need to see the light of day.

Oyster House (1516 Sansom Street, 215-567-7683) invited Times Square’s iconic Naked Cowboy to a special Buck-A-Shuck Happy Hour featuring Long Island Sound’s Naked Cowboy Oysters. The Naked Cowboy himself, Robert Burck, will join diver Chris Quartuccio, owner of Blue Island Oysters, to mingle with guests, take photos and of course, enjoy tasty raw oysters. Plump, meaty Naked Cowboy oysters will be served for $1 each on the half shell.

Before heading out of town The Naked Cowboy stopped by Rittenhouse Square to lay a tune on the people milling about
The Bellevue's Breast Cancer Awareness Day events at Williams-Sonoma honoring two time breast cancer survivor Kathy Goldberg, who raised $5,000 for the 3 Day Susan G Komen Walk in Philadelphia. Next to her is daughter Rachel Goldberg (Teuscher Philadelphia) who is next to Elaine I. Grobman, Executive Director of the Komen Phila .Daniel Stern participated in a cooking demonstration and fed the crowd.
Philadelphia Eagles Jon Dorenbos wows the crowd at O'Sheas with his magic tricks. Maria Papadakis, NBC10's Erin Como, Helen Shea, owners of O’Shea’s, guest and Francis, my biggest fan.
The celeb table at Estia (1405 Locust Street): This is where Mayor Nutter and wife Lisa like to sit as well as a few others. I just had lunch at Estia this week and had no idea how large it was. Great lunch too.
Duke, of Duke and Winston just hanging out at the office
Last Saturday night was City of Hope's Hair Ball held at Voyeur. Executive Director of the Philadelphia office Harry Giordano hosted the event for area stylist to compete in prizes, and it was a hair raising event. I think I heard him say over $300,000 was raised that evening. Congrats!!
This Jelly Bean bowl is no longer located here after a guests accidentally picked it up and wondered what it would be like to toss them all up in the air and down the staircase. It's now located behind the hostess desk, just ask them for a spoonful, in lieu of toothpicks. This week Ryan Howard stopped in for a steak sans scooter. He navigated the steps with crutches. Last night Black & Yellow

Philadelphia native Amber Rose and her beau Wiz Khalifa stopped by for a late bite to eat

Ghost Hunters at ESP & Eagles Players

Lester Holt, Jenna Wolfe, and Amy Robach were here last night filming with the Ghost Hunters doing a paranormal investigation and it’s going to air as a 2 part series on Saturday and Sunday.

Above Lester Holt with "Ghost Hunters" paranormal investigators including Grant Wilson, Jason Hawes, Britt Griffith, and Adam Berry.
This is only the second time all 3 anchors were out in the field for a segment. It’s really great for Philly. Jenna tweeted that they stopped to run up the Rocky steps on their way here!

It was a surprise for them. They knew they were Ghost Hunting but didn’t know where they were going. A producer just put the 3 anchors in a van and they were on their way. None of them had been to Eastern State Penitentiary before and I hear they had a blast.
Then head on over to Philly Mag's The Post's The Scene to check out who else went with us last night to check out Terror Behind the Walls. HERE

Bradley Cooper Robert Deniro, Julia Stiles Jennifer Lawrence Films In Upper Darby & Ridley Park - Video

The Silver Linings Playbook filmed in and around this house in Upper Darby for two weeks
Silver Linings Playbook is a comedy, even though it's about a guy (Bradley Cooper) who is released from a mental institute after 4 years. He returns to his wife to try and repair their marriage, but then falls for his neighbor, the 21 year old Jennifer Lawrence.
Robert Deniro plays his dad. Here's Deniro leaving his trailer last Thursday night. It's not raining, his bodyguard is just trying to block the paparazzi on the other side from the shot. I got the shot as I didn't use my professional flash and blended in with the neighbors.
Oh I forgot to mention the neighbors. "Nothing like this has ever happened in Upper Darby" they told me. And BTW Upper Darby is different than Darby, they told me. Now I know, so I won't confuse them on Fox 29 Good Morning again, but hey thanks for watching I told them.
The neighbors catch a glimpse and a few shots of Deniro as he leaves for the night. As I've stated on Fox 29, director David O Russell is really cracking down on folks watching the film being shot on the 200 block of Madison St., so the neighbors have been gathering near the actors trailers. It paid off because
last week Bradley Cooper posed with them while sitting in his car, but didn't sign autographs.
Deniro on the other-hand, posed and signed for the fans.
Bradley Cooper near his trailer last week. The Place Beyond the Pines, is the title of the movie he's in with Ryan Gosling. (http://splashnews.com/)
Last Sunday on Twitter & FB I reported that Cooper stopped by Slice for a pizza the evening before, not a slice but a whole pie, owner Jason Dilk's told me. Last year he stopped in with then girlfriend Renée Zellweger and had the same thing he had Saturday: a large margherita pizza with prosciutto and an arugula salad. Maybe he was reminiscing the good ol' days. Recently he's been linked with J-Lo, even flying out to LA the weekend before to see her, but last weekend when she was in Conn performing a concert, he was having pizza at Slice. Odd since she was on the same coast.This past week the production has moved to Ridley Park, Pa. A lot of the filming has been of Bradley Cooper running down the street in the same jogging suit with trash bag shirt, well it looks like a trash bag. A whole new neighborhood has been coming out to the filming. Jennifer Lawrence on the set of Silver Linings Playbook. I think the photographer who shot this was sitting in a car, that is why the bottom is cropped. Good job because they have been cracking down on paparazzi with in 2 blocks of the place, so somehow this guy was close enough to snap this shot.

A neighborhood that was used for Halloween in a scene earlier this week. One of my readers saw I posted a "casting call" for that scene, and was picked for it.
Julia Stiles: I reported last Sunday that she had dinner at Barbuzzo
Wednesday she shopped along Walnut Street stopping in American Apparel and buyingThis skirt (I'm sorry but it's ugly.)
And this combination. I like it!!

SAVE THE DATE: The 2nd Annual Judy Wilkins (my sister) Benefit for Gilda's Club of SJ. Hope you can come,
In December 2009, my sister Judy Wilkins died of the Ovarian Cancer at age 49. I remember when she was diagnosed she went to Gilda's Club in Somers Point, where she lived. (There are only 19 in the U.S.) She joined the knitting club, participated in group discussions and learned to apply make-up after the chemo caused her eyebrows to fall off. It was these little things that made her quality of life a little more bearable. Through your generous donations, and the monies raised at the 1st Annual Judy Wilkin's Benefit we've raised over $12,000 for Gilda's Club to ensure others would benefit from their services that give comfort and confidence; And I am half way on my way to the goal of naming the knitting room after our beloved Judy. I hope you can make it to the event on 11/21/11, or donate money in Judy's name or if you're a business donate an item for the silent auction (email me buzz (@) PhillyChitChat (dot) com. INFO: The Judy Wilkin's 2nd Annual Gilda's Club of SJ Benefit at Fleming's in Marlton NJ you need to RSVP to events (@) GlossPr.com to reserve your spot.Thanks so much for all your support, thanks to Cori Moskow & Ilana Waber or Gloss PR, and Billy Sullivan and Fleming's Prime Rib Steak House for donating their services to this event.

"Party with a Purpose" for The American Cancer Society Gala - Excellent Leadership, Location and Food

"Party with a Purpose" for The American Cancer Society Gala. Honoring Dr. John H. Glick with the humanitarian awardwent off without a hitch mostly in due part to the incredible, and hard working dedication of Beverly Goldberg with husband and biggest supporter Dr. Daniel Goldberg. Beverly and her team of workers and volunteers helped create an atmosphere of ease as the night flowed successfully from one segment to anther, and that is hard to do when you have such a large guest list, in such a large venue as The Please Touch Museum. I was really impressed, and I cover a lot of events.
Nearly 500 people gathered at the Please Touch Museum to raise more than $500,000 for the life-saving mission of the American Cancer Society. Above Rich and Margo Shevchenko
Before dinner there was a cocktail hour featuring delicious delights by Brûlée Catering (formerly Max and Me), in the whimsical boat room. It was here that I saw the unbelievable silent auction offerings. Hundreds and amazing items were up for auction, life style items, restaurants, experiences, really great gift baskets.
The focus of this year’s Party with a Purpose fundraising efforts was dedicated to pancreatic cancer research, patient services and programs. Nationwide, nearly 12 million cancer survivors will celebrate a birthday this year because of the American Cancer Society’s work to save lives from cancer.
Dr. Daniel Goldberg, and Beverly Golberg, Meredith Goldstein, Carol Lissack Lynsie and Evan Solomon and in back John J Parker, Co-Chair of tonight's event. Other co-chairs were Tobe Amsterdam, Bunny Brodsky and Richard Massaux.
Welcome remarks were made by NBC10's Lu Ann Cahn, above with Chef/Owner of R2l Daniel Stern and wife Jennifer.

The live auction was conducted by actor Robert Wuhl who was able to obtain $3,000 for a dinner fore 10 at Prime Rib, $600 for a Cliff Lee baseball, a great deal of $1500 for dinner for four and a caricature on the wall at the Palm, and a signed boxing glove by legendary boxing great Mohammad Ali.
John H. Glick, MD, Professor of Medicine and The Leonard and Madlyn Abramson Professor of Clinical Oncology, was the recipient of the Friends of the American Cancer Society Humanitarian Award.
At the American Cancer event I witnessed one of the most orderly, organized processes in obtaining silent auction items. Each guest has been assigned a number to use while bidding. The winning items were then lined up using that system. The guest went to the desk, gave their number to see if they won the item and then the runner would go and grab the item. Many times this is the most hectic part of the evening, instead the wonderful evening ended on a high note with this system in place.
