"Lipstick Jungle" actress hangs at Borgata
“Lipstick Jungle” hottie Lindsay Price, who some remember from the original “90210,” came with a few girlfriends to Atlantic City’s Borgata Monday afternoon. The ladies were pampered at the Immersion Spa at the Water Club, adjacent to Borgata, then dined at Izakaya on chef Michael Schulson’s edamame dumplings and crispy rock shrimp.

Philly filmmaker thrilled about "Push" from Oprah

"God put Oprah here for a reason. You can't get someone who believes in you the way she does," says Wynnefield native filmmaker Lee Daniels. He's thrilled that both Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry have agreed to do what they can to promote his new film, "Push: Based on the Novel by Sapphire," which has been picked up for distribution by Lionsgate Films. Daniels swears the film, about a teenage girl in Harlem who is pregnant for the second time with her father's baby, is "not as dark as people might think." He assures it's "OK to laugh along with the situation as our main character [played by newcomer Gabourey Sidibe] does." Despite the multiple awards heaped on the film at Sundance, where it premiered, Daniels, who won an Oscar for producing "Monster's Ball," says he "learned early on never to read any of my reviews because if I believe the good ones, I have to believe the bad ones." So he's not too excited. His next film, "Tennessee," stars Mariah Carey and is due for theatrical release next month. Carey also co-stars in "Push," which has no release date yet.

Jamie Foxx throws Super Bowl party at Smith & Wollensky
"Law Abiding Citizen" star Jamie Foxx threw a Super Bowl party for eight at Smith & Wollensky at the Rittenhouse. The crew hung out in a back room and Foxx went for a Caesar salad and a bone-in ribeye steak. The film will soon be shooting in North Philadelphia and the George W. Hill Correctional Facility in Delaware County, where actor/comedian/musician Kenneth Keith Kallenbach was incarcerated when he died last year. Foxx's "LAC" co-star and producer Gerard Butler partied over the weekend at Public House (18th & Cherry) where he was friendly to fans.

Mary Carey dancing at Center City strip club

Porn star-turned politician-turned porn star Mary Carey will be here to dance at the World Famous Gold Club (1416 Chancellor) from Feb. 25 to Feb. 28. The busty blonde can now be seen battling her alcohol addiction on VH1’s “Celebrity Rehab Presents: Sober House.” The former California gubernatorial candidate last made news in this column when she made out with comedian Danny Ozark while here in May. Carey was here for what was a scheduled birthday party of 94 WYSP’s Kidd Chris. But the DJ was fired the morning of his party, and didn’t show.

Super Squibb ready to defend his title at Wing Bowl 18

Jonathan Squibb, a skinny 23-year-old from Winslow Township, NJ, is the new Wing Bowl champion. Super Squibb tore through 203 wings, 23 more than second place finisher Not Rich, and 50 more than third place eaters Hank the Tank and Da Disposal, while chomping his way to glory and a brand new Mini Cooper, from Mini on the Main Line. Going into the competition, the Rutgers and Winslow Township High grad was ranked with 9 to 1 odds by 610 WIP’s Al Morganti, who created Wing Bowl. “Nobody believed in me but my family, but I knew I could do it,” said Squibb, who is “in career transition.” He plans to celebrate tonight with family and friends. What was his secret? “It’s more up here than down here,” he told us, pointing first to his brain, then his stomach. Squibb says he will absolutely return to defend his crown next year at Wing Bowl 18.

"I'm still an Eagles fan," McCaffery says, adding that he makes sure to serve the whole state.

Angelo Cataldi predicts increased vomiting
Wing Bowl ringleader Angelo Cataldi says he's more nervous than ever for Wing Bowl this year. With all amatuer eaters, there could be more vomiting, predicts Cataldi. Stay tuned. "Gentleman Jerry" Coughlan, favored by some to take the crown this morning, was perfectly calm when we spoke with him moments ago. "It comes with the experience," says Coughlan, who warns that just because he's not psyched full of nervous eneregy, doesn't min he won't chomp his way to victory.
