 Sorry for the delay in bringing you this important breaking Philadelphia Will Do news: Kerri-Lee Halkett got married!
Yes, the Fox 29 anchor with impeccable taste in interview subjects got hitched earlier this month in New Orleans to Kirt Mayland, a dude of some sort. Here’s the relevant funny part:
Friends say you won’t be seeing a ring on Halkett’s finger, but she did get a tattoo marking the wedding that will likely be visible only when she’s wearing a bikini. Mayland, we’re told, got “KL” tattooed on his left-hand ring finger.
Geeze, is there a news anchor story in Philadelphia that doesn’t involve bikinis in some way? I guess not. Anyway: Congratulations to the happy couple, matching tattoos and all.
In other news, Dorothy Krysiuk is leaving Good Day Philadelphia, with her last day on Halloween. Sadness! The long, slow breakup of the Mascot Monday dancers continues…

So, yes, the segment on Fox 29 about Philadelphia bloggers — and by that, I mean me and Johnny Goodtimes — aired last night, and I’ve done a little guide to my favorite shot on last night’s program. (You can click to enlarge.)
- 1. One of you called it No Country for Old Men hair and my hairdresser said it looked like a hockey player’s haircut. (Complete with playoff beard!) I prefer to think of it as the too-lazy-to-get-a-haircut look, but I finally got it cut short again on Tuesday. The beard will probably go soon, too, but, again: Laziness.
- 2. These are the Dr. Seuss glasses one of you remarked on. I’m going to go get them straightened today, actually; also, they’re hilariously Sean John brand classes.
- 3. This is not a shirt a picked up at a thrift store, it is an actual 1998 Viking Invitational cross country shirt, a race I competed in. (I was have been a junior in high school.) I never seemed to do well in that race, so I guess I never really wore the shirt regularly until a few months ago. I’m sure my high school coaches are proud of me.
- 4. One of the better things on my walls, this advertisement from around World War II is actually for Stetson hats, but the theme is “Keep it under your Stetson” — as in, “Don’t tell the enemy about the war plans. Wear Stetson hats!” Companies really need to start doing this style of advertisement again.
- 5. This is my MacBook, my pride and joy. If only Apple products weren’t shoddily constructed — I believe they’re made out of butter — I would be marrying this thing.
- 6. Strunk & White’s The Elements of Style. Goodtimes accused me of putting this on top of my pile of books to make myself look smarter, but I pretty much re-read this thing every couple of months. If you’re a writer and you don’t have this book, go get it now, go get it now, go get it now. It’s essentially the writers’ bible.
- 7. The rest of the books here are pretty awesome as well. The best title is, of course, Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts, but I’d also like to direct your attention to my proof of the new Lewis Black book, the copy of Jen Miller’s The Jersey Shore: Atlantic City to Cape May, Hershel Walker’s book about multiple personalities, Darren Daulton’s book about how the world will end in 2012 and, of course, Drug Warriors and Their Prey: From Police Power to Police State, which I can also not recommend enough. It’s probably the best-argued book I’ve ever read.
- 8. This orange pen is the one I used to write-in Brian Hickey for First District Senate and Chrissmari for State Treasurer. Although you can’t see the cup it’s in, it has a 1996-97 Sixers schedule on it, the team’s first season in what was then called the Corestates Center.
- 9. Uh, this is the temperature, showing it was 53 degrees when my segment aired last night.

Okay, the headline is a joke. But it’s true: I’ve just found out I’ll be on Fox 29’s 10 p.m. news tonight blathering on about the Internet, complete with since-cut hockey player haircut.
If you have a life (unlike me) and won’t be at home at 10 p.m. Friday night, I’ll post the video of Kerri-Lee Halkett talking with me, Johnny Goodtimes and (I assume) other various bloggers.

Yes, we now have video evidence of Dick Cheney actually visiting a place that prints economic stimulus checks in order to show how great the economic stimulus checks are. Fox 29’s Bruce Gordon then does some fancy math to show that the price of everything has gone up since the start of the year, and so our stimulus checks aren’t really all that hot overall.
Redlasso video after the jump. And yes, this includes a semi-gratuitous Kerri-Lee Halkett intro. After she wrote this, every video from now on will feature KLH.

Complete analysis of the drug policy books in front of my laptop to come later. Crying about my incredibly annoying voice to come… mhmm…. now.
Enjoy the weekend!

Michael Nutter was scheduled to announce this morning the citywide cleanup Saturday was a success; if cleanliness is next to godliness, then Philadelphia has escaped hell for purgatory.
On a report on Fox Saturday night, the mayor said that a clean city is a safe city. And then he added: “23,000 public employees, a million and a half citizens, we can’t do it all by ourselves. Your work, Kerri-Lee, and the many others who have gotten involved in this, it really makes a difference.”
Woo-hoo! Anybody tells you Philadelphia Will Do makes a difference, you can tell them I didn’t post about the citywide cleanup1 and that I strive every day to not make a difference. I do enjoy Nutter’s shirt from benevolent corporate sponsor Verizon. There is no doubt Nutter is simply trying to emulate Bernard Hopkins and his GoldenPalace.com temporary tattoo.

Hey, look! The guys at the Kidd Chris Show — you may know Kidd Chris from every Philly.com comment section ever — recently convinced Kerri-Lee Halkett to send in a photo of herself in her pajamas.
The photo isn’t anything all that scandalous, as Halkett apparently sleeps in sleepwear that resembles a Miami Dolphins jersey. KLH is also now blogging at KerriLeeTV.com and even has a nightly segment on the news also about blogging. (Yes, yes.)
One of the best things on her site so far is just a little offhand comment on a reader mail post: “I love getting emails from all of you… Some of the emails, well, I um, can’t share with you (hint hint).” Indeed! Welcome to the Internet, Kerri-Lee, where every woman gets harassed by weirdos.

If you’re a more recent visit to this website, you might believe Alycia Lane is my favorite news anchor in the city. You’d be wrong. The news anchor thing goes back a while, but earlier this year Kerri-Lee Halkett was chronicled with Alycia Lane-like precision. (And, really, I can’t believe there isn’t a feature on Philadelphia Will Do called “Erin O’Hearnspotting.”)
Halkett didn’t do anything like punch a cop, but she did hold off Vince Fumo’s advances (stay with me here) to eventually date NBC 10 anchor Jamison Uhler.
Yesterday, Dan Gross reported the two have split, and Michael Klein says they’re just too busy to date. I’m not really sure what this means — that thing where you stop dating someone but still sleep with them? — but the 36-year-old Halkett said something about relationships and time and I dunno.
Halkett is also apparently busy with a local “Dancing with Local Celebrities” event along with new Fox 29 weatherguy John Bolaris. No word on what other news anchors are included in this list of, uhm, celebrities.
