WILL SMITH will attend his first Sixers game tomorrow as part owner and sit courtside as the team takes on the Bobcats on Jrue Holiday bobblehead night.
The Overbrook-native superstar is in the area shooting "After Earth" with director M. Night Shyamalan. The futuristic thriller also stars Smith's son Jaden.
The team's been waiting for the chance to present Smith with his custom No. 76 jersey, which the team made for members of the new ownership group when they were announced in October.
"Shameless" star William H. Macy, taking in the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, stopped by local DJ and clothing designer Nigel Richards' 611 Lifestyle booth and snagged a 611 scarf for himself and a 611 Records Philadelphia T-shirt for his "Desperate Housewife," Felicity Huffman.
"Extra" host Mario Lopez, or Slater from "Saved by the Bell" if you prefer, picked up a 611 Turntable shirt and hung out with rapper Lil' Jon, who chose a Sex, Lies & Vinyl shirt from 611. "Law & Order: SVU" actor/rapper Ice-T took a 611 Record Box shirt, and his bodacious blond bride, Coco, picked up the women's version of the Sex, Lies & Vinyl shirt. "Bachelor" Ben Flajnik picked up a 611 longsleeve flannel.
Meanwhile, "Mad Men" stunner Christina Hendricks, "The Sing-Off" host Nick Lachey and E! host Ben Lyons stopped by the Philadelphia Industry Lounge and signed a giant LOVE statue there, as did actors Andie MacDowell, Justin Long ("He's Just Not That Into You") Laura Prepon ("Are You There, Chelsea?") and Katie Aselton of "The League."
The Lounge, presented by financial-services firm Janney Montgomery Scott and coordinated by the Cashman & Associates PR and special-events firm, was also composed of Greater Philadelphia Film Office reps pitching Philly as a shooting location to filmmakers. It featured swag from Mitchell & Ness, Denim Habit, Xfinity, Fox Rothschild, and the Philadelphia Retail Marketing Alliance.
"Jersey Shore" cast mate Deena Nicole Cortese caught the Wanted's show at the TLA (334 South) on Tuesday night.
If you watch a lot of reality TV, you've probably heard music from Signature Tracks.
