Nine former cocktail waitresses have filed suit against their former employer Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, NJ. They were fired in March after Resorts underwent vast changes around the property implementing rebranding plans to liven up the aging property. Inspirations came from the HBO show "Boardwalk Empire" portraying prohibition era Atlantic City.
The women allege they were fired because they simply weren't sexy or young enough to wear the '20s flapper outfits that... Read More |

It's been a week since the primary elections ended, and it seems that former school teacher Karen Brown will end up with the GOP nomination for mayor to run against incumbent Democrat Michael Nutter.
She holds a very tight 58 vote lead over John Featherman after city officials completed the latest tally of votes that included absentee ballots. Around 16,500 votes were cast in the GOP primary.
Featherman is not giving up hope. There are still provisional ballots out... Read More |

The judgement day that was predicted by Harold Camping and his Family Radio network on billboards and pamphlets around the world came and went with nothing to show for it. Camping said he initially felt so bad that his rapture prediction did not come true that millions of Christians would be taken into heaven on Saturday that he left his home and took refuge in a motel.
But after careful thought and reconsideration, Camping is now saying that he just misunderstood the meaning of... Read More |

Following his music video debut from last month (Welcome to the Jungle, click here), former Villanova basketball player Will Sheridan recently sat down with ESPN's Dana O'Neill, publicly coming out of the closet.
It doesn't come as much surprise that WIll is gay. Anyone in the Philadelphia area that follows Big 5 basketball probably knew. If you were a Villanova student anytime around the years that Sheridan was on campus you... Read More |

After a cold, rainy day at the polls that saw many locations have very poor voter turnout, especially in the suburbs that did not have many races of major consequence anyway, incumbent Mayor Nutter easily won over Milton Street in the Democratic Party primary for the Philadelphia Mayorial race by about 3-1.
In the GOP primary, it is still too close to call at this time (10:37pm) with Karen Brown (50.3%) holding a slight lead over John Featherman (49.7%) with 76.1% of the... Read More |

| When will Chase Utley be back? Well, we have a much better idea on how to answer that question. After he made his first official rehab start today for the Clearwater Threshers, it opens up the 20 day window that he can make minor league rehab appearances before he has to be activated to the major league roster. Now there are some exceptions to that rule, he can take a 5 day timeout to that window, and if there are major complications he could shut it down completely. But everything is pointing...
