I’ve always loved reading our city’s fine gossip columnists, because they have the hardest job in the world: Writing a gossip column in a town with no celebrities.
Dan Gross today wins the prize for the gossip item that sums up Philadelphia perfectly:
Wrestling legend Iron Sheik was there signing autographs and taking pictures with fans when 94.1 Free FM WYSP’s Kidd Chris celebrated his 32nd birthday with a party at Brownie’s (38th & Chestnut) Thursday night. The night before, Sheik and Chris hit Apollo (7th & Chestnut) for dinner, where Sheik told the radio host stories of his time in the 1972 Olympics and dissed Hulk Hogan, whom he called a “Hollywood blond jabroni.”
Perhaps this is part of a wrestling storyline, where the Iron Shiek is challenging Hulk Hogan to avenge his loss of the WWF Title over 20 years ago. Ooh, I can’t wait for the next installment!
Out and about [DN, 4th item]
