People's jobs and the power they perceive those gigs to hold gets 'em craaazy; makes 'em as ooky sensitive as the hysterical cast of La Cage aux Folles -- the movie version. Eagle T. Owens gets hurt when teammates don't recognize his 100th touchdown, calls his QB a loser, gets banished, loses money. SEPTA's strike is sadly over. (I was enjoying driving my humvee real close to guys who hadn't biked in years, watching them squirm on hard leather seats with slacks rolled up to the knee.) But wasn't it all just misplaced millions, I mean, feelings? Professional dick Vincent Gallo is only selling his sperm (www.VGmerchandise.com) and talking about his prick (eight inches) because critics of The Brown Bunny didn't. The kids at Philebrity lost sore-like to blogger Dan Rubin in CP's Crit Choice. Still, chuffed turns to knee-scuffed now that they're sucking the devil's dick, running ads for Bart Blatstein's Tower Investments (new NoLib offices, hmm?). Cheer up, everyone. … Sly Stallone'll find his way back to Philly one way or another. The continuing Rocky lenser was a phone friend for his Planet Hollywood's chat with Mayor Street's casino board, as Planet tried to snag land at Delaware and Spring Garden from the Penn's Landing Corp. This after Ameristar Casino Inc. figured out their land option was in Fishtown and bailed. Guess that F-Town/eighth borough story's squashed? … Serrano/Tin Angel owners Rich Machlin and Jude Erwin sold their South Second Street venue dedicated to things folky 'n' foodie to Donell McCoy and Kevin O'Malley -- bartenders who've gigged Irishly at ev'ry poob in town. And they're keeping booker Larry Goldfarb whether I like it or not. KIDDING, LARRY. Anyone looking to buy floors o' venue cheap? Doc Watson's Pub, which lost its owner Dan Flynn (did anyone ever ask Dan if he was just trying to help those 100 under-agers?) has longtime maestro Barry Sandrow back at the wheel. Certainly Barry'll wise up. And how close to ready is the gorgeous rotunda-like The Point behind the Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville? … Having a Hairball isn't just about coughing. Shampoo's outrageous area-hair competition for City of Hope Nov. 12 has a theme -- "Scaredy Cat: A Tribute to Horror Movies." Oh, if ahh only had mah modelin' legs. … The ghost-punkish Primus/Ernest Tubbs/Sunn0))) freaks in Northern Liberties (the band) -- whose mysterious leaders King Gary and Kebin run Philly's hardass Worldeater label -- debut tunes from their due-soon Secret Revolution at Bar Noir Nov 14. Label babies Beware the Blunted Needle, the all-girl West Philly quintet starring Worldeaters from Kiss Kiss Kill, open -- wide. … Yup, Jenn Shamy -- daughter of Delilah's Greta and Frank -- is opening the way-private VIP Zee Bar in ye old Deco spot down the strip mall from her folk's peel-palace. Yup, she's opening it with Delilah's former marketer Laura "Deuce" Vernola, ad exec David Witz and other unnameables with Owen Kamahira's tony interiors (walnut, redwood, mohair everywhere). But Zee so wants you, they've got a Zee Team of good-looking gals hunting down young profs of all religions and minorities (diversity ain't Philly's strong suit when it comes to old-boy sanctums) with bucks to litter Zee. … WHOWHATWHERE: Allen Iverson and Reebok -- at Chrome, celebrating their 10th anniversary. Seems only yesterday. Richie Rich, Traver Rains and tranny-fabulous Amanda Lepore littered the Philth party at Pure for Matthew Izzo's 11th and Walnut shop opening with lips firmly set to "pucker." While Iggles Jon Runyan and Dhani Jones got stuck opening Franklin Mills' Dave & Buster's Sports Café, the 76ers' Drive mag launch found Steven Hunter and Louis Williams popping out of new Mercedes at Ritz-Carlton. Before he hit Helium, ex-Philly comic Paul Tompkins told me his fave local moment: when Jane's Addiction played the Tower for 20 minutes, called the crowd assholes, and left only to have their tour bus turned over. "Any other city would have just taken it," said Tompkins. "In Philly, that's the logical next step." Beautiful Peoples' post-Kanye West party at MarBar not only got gold-digging West dancing and singing to his own songs all night, but openers Fantasia, Keyshia Cole and Lil' Mo as well. … Women fighting: "Ever think it funny when someone's finger got skated over at a skating rink?" asks Philly Roller Girl Darth Hater No. 13. "Then you should check out what we do to each other." She's talking about Nov. 13's exhibition bout at Millennium Skate World in Camden. On this side o' the bridge, Body Arts Gym operators Angel Cartagena and Khara Clendenon are looking for the State Athletic Commission to sanction Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) events. And if they don't they'll Muay Thai kickbox your ass Nov. 11 at the New Alhambra at Ritner Street. … B-days: Transgender goddess Angela Gardner is spinning her own TG party at L2 Nov. 12 -- tip her! Evan Gusz too is spinning for his birfday at his weekly Queue young-prof soiree Nov. 10. And while Skeletor/Dalí dude Carmen Martella III spins for no man on his B-day, go find mah lovely missus, jeweler Patrice Amorosi, at this weekend's tony-designer showcase at United Society German (Nov. 11-12) and buy something so she can buy me something.
