Philly Jesus goes international with BBC

WHEN Michael Grant a/k/a "Philly Jesus" was arrested on Friday, the story blew up nationally. Now it appears he's going international.

Grant's attorney, Charles Gibbs, confirmed to me that Grant was followed around by a BBC News crew, for BBC Trending, in LOVE Park yesterday, meaning that Britain and beyond will get a taste of Philly Jesus. The BBC was "examining his prolific social-media presence and his ridiculous arrest and prosecution for standing in the park as Philly Jesus," Gibbs said.

Grant rose to prominence after a fabulous profile by the Daily News' own Stephanie Farr.

Every year, Mark Behar is besieged by taunts: How could he not have TKO'd Bruce Jenner, the former step-patriarch of the Kardashian clan?

Behar's reasoning? Kardashian Svengali/matriarch Kris Jenner told Behar to bow out of the fight early.

In 2010, bodyguard/actor Behar agreed to fight Jenner for an episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" called "Body Blows" (airing at 10:30 this morning on E!) in which Jenner, Kim Kardashian and Rob Kardashian fight in a charity boxing event.

Behar said he was paid "under $3,000" to fight former Olympian Jenner, agreeing not to hit him in the face or neck to avoid harm to Jenner's plastic surgery. But when a rogue fighter knocked Rob out early in the evening, Kris freaked and insisted on delaying the fight for several hours despite a paying audience.

Behar got only two rounds in with Jenner before Kris told him not to return to the ring due to time constraints. Editing made it look like Behar was fleeing Jenner's wrath.

But, c'mon, it's reality TV. Could Behar actually expect reality?

"They promoted it as a real-deal thing," Behar told me. "If I knew it was a scam, I wouldn't have done it."

And, remember, this was 2010, when the Kardashians were ruling reality on TV but were nowhere close to A-list.

So, what's Behar to do? Hook up with celeb-boxing promoter Damon Feldman to challenge Jenner to a rematch. Now that Kris and Bruce are separated, he won't have her to protect him anymore.

But why now? "Every single year, every time the episode airs, I'm ridiculed by more people," Behar said.

Kennett Square's Longwood Gardens has received the honor of best restroom in all the land, according to an online poll conducted by Cintas, because of the bathroom's "green wall," with fine-etched translucent glass that allows for natural light, saving electricity.

Injured Eagle Todd Herremans' foundation will collect gently worn men's and women's' suits on from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Monday at Chickie's and Pete's (1526 Packer Ave.). The clothes will go to the Suiting Warriors Foundation, which provides attire for veterans returning to the workplace.

Philly's own Ben Kemp, 32, will compete tomorrow on "On the Menu." TNT's new reality show features competitors vying for a chance to get their dishes on national chains' menus. Kemp will attempt to create a new steak sandwich for Outback Steakhouse. Kind of think he's got a competitive advantage, considering he and the granddaddy of steak sandwiches share a hometown. But it'll be up to judges like celeb chef Emeril Lagasse to decide. Ty Pennington, of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," hosts it up.
