Looks like Penn is still on the mind of one Bethenny Frankel, who visited campus last year. (And brought now ex-hubby Jason Hoppy.) The Real Housewife/talk show host tweeted her morning Starbucks run getup to her 1.25 million followers, asking Nick Cannon if wife Mariah Carey would wear such a casual outfit – but homegirl was not-so-casually rocking a Penn hoodie!
The University City eatery scene is an ever-changing beast, and even though many are solely concerned with HipCityVeg's impending opening, UTB is here as always with the comprehensive report of the intriguing (or depressing) new kids on the block and the restaurants devastatingly closing their doors.
You know you've made it when you're lampooned on national TV, so trend piece journalist/Penn sex fiend Kate Taylor is a major success story! That's right, the one and only Stephen Colbert devoted a few minutes of his Report last week to "She Can Play That Game, Too." The clip doesn't seem to be going as social media viral as certain Quakers' rebuttals to the offensive/biased/dismissive/long article, so if you haven't seen it, indulge in the anchor's satirical rampage of Taylor's piece. While he doesn't name drop Penn (this time) and keeps his critique comical rather than substantive, the underlying message about the article's thesis being inherently obvious is legit. And that's The Word.
Did you hear about that woman who spent an absurdly long time on campus to write an absurdly long New York Times article that was absurdly non-groundbreaking? Yeah, you did, and your great-aunt called to discuss how "sad" and "empty" your existence must be.
If you haven't seen it in your news feed yet, take a few minutes from "interning" (we all know you found yourself here via social media) and get your weekend off to an inspiring start with this video, highlighting an amazing achievement by Penn doctors and CHOP. A cancer-stricken girl named Emma was saved by an experimental treatment in which she was purposely injected with HIV, and the heartwarming clip is going viral. Donna from Parks & Rec even tweeted it this morning, with the hashtag #Science. Word, Retta, science is incredible.
Never doubt the power of course evaluations, Quakers. Sure, they unlock your grades and provide future generations with difficulty ratings, but they also go straight to your profs' hearts. Think your comments through, or you may get a strongly-worded, passionate email to the listserv of a class that ended six months ago calling you out.
Center City Building Collapse -- Update: 6 have been confirmed dead and a dozen injured when a building being demolished collapsed onto the Salvation Army at the corner of 22nd and Market. Market Street is still blocked off between 20th and 23rd.
We've got you girls a Hump Day treat! Lentil, the French bulldog puppy with a cleft palate and an Internet full of fans, has officially had restorative surgery, thanks to Penn Vet. According to his Mommy's blog, the itty-bitty online superstar underwent his non-cosmetic procedure on Monday, so he'll look exactly the same: "it's important for all of us to remember that it's OK to be different!!!" Preach, girl. Your pooch is a national treasure and we couldn't be happier that he's now also a Quaker. Check out a presh pre-surgery video of Lentil playing with Penn Vets above!
Therapy dogs are common on campus amidst finals season, but all them canines are put to shame by the CUTEST little nugget of a puppy, aptly named Lentil, who has become a bit of a viral celebrity. The French bulldog puppy was born with a cleft palate and just turned three months old yesterday (happy b-day, bb).

If you follow Penn BFF Eva Longoria on Twitter, you know she has been hawking "Ready for Love" – the new NBC reality dating competition she produces – up the wazoo. Unfortunately, the network's pulled the plug on the matchmaking show after just two lowly-rated episodes.
Remember one week ago today? Your hangover was still in full swing, the memories of Fling as gone as they are right now, the Instagrams telling a dark tale of debauchery. Fling has now been officially over for a week, and to commemorate its anniversary (only 355 more days!), UTB proudly presents a compilation of the texts YOU submitted throughout the last seven days. You've recovered from last weekend's mayhem - although a residual high from last night is understandable - and now its time to relive the rowdy via area code.
If you thought it couldn't get any worse that "Penn's Stepping Up" (the heinous Penny Loafers-helmed disaster of a promo video for the Making History campaign), THINK AGAIN. The ridiculous factor has been upped in unimaginable ways with "Time to Shine," a new single by Sean Altman of a group called "Rockapella," which is climbing its way to the top of the A-Gut charts.
Believe us, we couldn't be prouder of Madame President's fundraising success, surpassing the goal and making over $4.3 billion for Penn's Making History campaign. And with all the hullabaloo surrounding the Fling concert, many students didn't attend (or don't remember) Friday night at Franklin Field. So we're extra-pumped for John Legend and Train at Penn Park (fo free!) this Friday.
Don't even think about taking advantage of VP's extended study hours and doing work this Fling weekend. However, you have three homework assignments to complete amidst the debauchery:
Shout ‘em out, shout ‘em out! That’s right, kiddies: trees are blossoming, finals are looming, and flings are getting flung. But perhaps the most important spring tradition of all is upon us: Shoutouts. 34th Street presents your bi-annual opportunity to tell that hot professor, your klepto roommate, and the mouth–breather in your history recitation exactly how you feel. Submit your anonymous messages of love (or hate or lust) to your roomies/enemies/lovers/UTB editors (please?) via shoutouts@34st.com, Street's website OR that sexy fuchsia tip box to the right -- Britney approves.
Two a.m. and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake... Preach, Anna Nalick, because it's Twitter-official: VP's main building is open until 2 a.m. all the way through finals, effective immediately. As happy as we are that the exodus to Rosenparty is no longer at the absurdly early hour of midnight, the fact that @upennlib had to tweet something with the words "today" and "finals" is disconcerting.
After a lengthy delay (which we all know was caused by Justice's cancellation), SPEC has finally revealed the 2013 Spring Fling headliner, with less than two weeks until the concert. UTB and the DP can now officially confirm that Girl Talk will take the stage this year after Tyga and Janelle Monáe.
We don't know if that traditional sporty March Madness is still going on, but we do know this: after a cutthroat week-long battle of the bracket, the winner of the third edition of PENN MADNESS has emerged. And just in time for that other miracle, Easter! A hearty congratulations to... H U R R I C A N E S A N D Y ! Tonight may bring the belated announcement of our Spring Fling headliner, but if (when) the result is disappointing: we still have our April 19th concert featuring John Legend and Train! Our Penn Madness runners-up (47% of the popular vote!) will be sure to make history, and hopefully won't hold a grudge that Sandy edged them out for the grand prize. You're still our favorite Grammy-winning Alum/astronomy-loving band dream team! If Olivia Newton-John wants to make a guest appearance, we won't complain. For now, the reigning queen can just complement Madame President's blonde glory (above).
