Just moments after chomping his way to another victory at 610-WIP's Wing Bowl 18 yesterday, returning champion Jonathan "Super" Squibb was already looking forward to next year's contest.

Squibb, who downed 238 wings, just shy of the record of 241 devoured by three-time Wing Bowl champ Joey Chestnut is confident and looks forward to going up against Chestnut in the annual celebration of gluttony and strippers.

Although this year's event was amateur eaters only, WIP's Angelo Cataldi told us that pro eater Chestnut would be invited to compete in next year's gluttony contest to face Squibb, 24, of Berlin, NJ.

"He may be the best eater in Philly. He may be the best Philly eater of all time, but he's no Joey Chestnut," said a heavily intoxicated Chestnut about Super Squibb when we told him that Squibb said he thought he had a chance against Chestnut, who is a former winner of the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating contest on Coney Island. The eating machine Chestnut, of San Jose, Calif., was banned from this year's all-amateur event. He was there in Rick "The Manager" Russo's entourage, which also included local pros Dave "U.S. Male" Goldstein and "Humble" Bob Shoudt.

610 WIP's Wing Bowl 18 is only hours away, and yet so much is unknown. Will returning champion Jonathan "Super" Squibb chomp his way to back to victory? Or will last year's runner-up Richard "Not Rich" Razzi, a dead ringer for Tommy Chong, go all the way? Will "Damaging" Doug Canavin  be able to back up his endless trash talk?

And possibly most importantly: Will we get to fist-pump with Snooki?

You'll have to stay tuned and find out. We'll be updating this blog, and you can also find wing-by-wing coverage here.

Coming soon, video interviews with Snooki, Mary Carey, and Angelo Cataldi...

Technical difficulties are preventing the videos from being uploaded. In the meantime here's what we can tell you. Poor Snooki was savagely booed upon entering the arena and again when she just hopped up on a mechanical bull. She told us the next season of "Jersey Shore" may be filmed abroad, as producers told the cast to make sure they had passports...Mary Carey, who's dancing at the World Famous Gold Club (1416 Chancellor) through Saturday night, said she was excited to debut as a Wingette. The former California gubernatorial candidate claims she might run for governor of Pennyslvania, of course she'd need to establish residency first...Susan Finkelstein, the woman about to face trial for allegedly offering sex for World Series tickets, said she has her lawyer, William J. Brennan's blessing to appear as a Wingette today, dressed as a sexy leopard, for the Hungry Hungry Hebrew aka Adam Taxin.

Actress Pam Grier and the Food Network's "Chopped" host, Ted Allen, will be in town tomorrow to tape a public-service announcement to promote the 20th anniversary of Dining Out for Life. The national AIDS fundraising event started in Philadelphia as a benefit for Action AIDS. It's held here this year on April 29.

Grier - famous for '70s films like "Foxy Brown" and "Coffy" and later for TV's "The L Word" and megafan Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown" - and Allen, formerly of  "Queer Eye"," will be joined by chef/restaurateur Jose Garces and will tape their spot at his Chifa (707 Walnut).

Laura Burkhardt, publisher of Where Magazine: Philadelphia - a Dining Out for Life sponsor and a big Action AIDS supporter - has partnered with local jeweler John Wind, who will issue a limited series to benefit Action AIDS and the Mazzoni Center. Mazzoni, on South 12th Street, is the health center for Philadelphia's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

The jewelry, some of which Grier will wear in an advertisement, will be sold beginning next week at Joan Shepp (1616 Walnut), Scarlett Alley (241 Race) and JimmyStyle (1820 E. Passyunk) or online. For more info visit Dining Out For Life or Action AIDS.

Mike Tyson surprised the crew at Old City Tattoo (44 S. 2nd) when he strolled in Tuesday afternoon looking for someone to ink black roses on his left forearm. Tattoo artist Martin LaCasse, who just relased an art book called “365” through Presto Art Publishing, took Tyson in the back room and spent about 90 minutes tattooing the former heavyweight champion of the world turned “Hangover” co-star. Tyson’s Philly-raised wife Lakiha Spicer and their baby, who’s just over a year old, hung out in the front of the shop, while their limo driver idled outside.
 

Finkelstein's mug shot taken by Bensalem Police

 Susan Finkelstein does not encourage women to make any type of suggestive offers for tickets to the sold-out 610-WIP Wing Bowl 18 Friday at the Wachovia Center.

"Although it depends how passionate they are about Wing Bowl," says Finkelstein, the local woman who faces trial for allegedly offering sex to an undercover Bensalem police officer in exchange for World Series tickets.

She's now a part of Wing Bowl, and will be dressed as a "sexy leopard" on the ark float of contestant Hungry Hungry Hebrew, aka attorney Adam Taxin. Taxin befriended Finkelstein after interviewing her for a piece for a local paper that was never published.

Finkelstein, an unemployed public-relations professional who lives with her husband in West Philly, faces trial Feb. 24 in Doylestown on a charge of attempting to commit prostitution. Her October arrest made international headlines but didn't stop her and her husband, Jack LaVoy, from attending games at Citizens Bank Park and Yankee Stadium.

Morganti has picked returning champion Jonathan "Super" Squibb as 2-1 favorite to win on Friday. He rose from anonymity to take last year's crown. Richard "Not Rich" Razzi has 3-1 odds and the Mouth of the South, born Clinton Brooks Jr., is the third favorite, at 5-1 odds, according to Morganti's annual handicapping.

And speaking of WIP . . .

Overnight host Big Daddy Graham has a $1,600 dentist bill to prove it wasn't part of his act when three of his teeth fell out while he performed Saturday at the Sellersville Theater. Graham's daughter Ava came out from backstage to help him find the teeth, which landed on a rug. After the show, fans told Graham they thought it was part of his routine because the theater DJ, Dan Faga, had the mind to play "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth," as Graham left the stage. Cherry Hill dentist Dr. Craig Donn put the chompers back in the comic's mouth Monday.

Here's a shot of Mariah Carey's show at the Tower Theater Monday night. We expect the singer, who stayed at the Four Seasons, is very happy this morning as "Precious," in which she co-starred and gave an impressive performance, was nominated for multiple Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director for Wynnefield native Lee Daniels, Best Actress for Gabourey Sidibe, who plays the title character, and Mo'Nique for Best Supporting Actress.
