Craig Robinson, the comedian who plays warehouse supervisor Darryl Philbin on the NBC comedy, performs tonight through Saturday at Helium (2031 Sansom).

Robinson, who can be seen in theaters in “Zack and Miri Make a Porno,” said his act is “very musical,” with audience participation. He tries to play a couple of shows each month, but his busy shooting schedule on “The Office” makes that difficult. As for his character, who was recently freed from the clingy Kelly Kapoor (played by Mindy Kaling), Robinson said, “I don’t know what they have in store for me. “I’m as excited as everyone else to see what’s next for Darryl.”

The comic actor is happy that his recent drug-possession charge has been dropped. In August he pleaded guilty in Los Angeles to a felony after he was pulled over for a traffic violation and police found Ecstasy pills in his car. The case was cleared in September after Robinson completed a court-ordered drug program.

His upcoming movies include “Playboys,” “Night at the Museum 2,” and “The Goods.” For tickets for this week’s shows, click here.

The latest big story in Bucks County, PA. is all its recent Alien sightings.

What started with a single UFO sighting over a Middletown Mexican restaurant Jan. 26 has turned into a science fiction sensation.

Spaceships were spotted over Sesame Place.

Black boomerangs were reported over Citizens Bank Park during the Phillies National League Championship series.

An extraterrestrial even was seen recently in the men’s department of the local JCPenney, smiling at our women.

With more than 50 reports from Bucks since January, the Pennsylvania Mutual UFO Network says it now will gather here for its next alien hunter conference Jan. 24 at Bucks County Community College.

Holyshit. The UFO conference will be held on the most depressing day of the year. Seriously. Not joking. Incredibly depressing.

On June 23, a woman reported seeing an “alien entity” in the JCPenney’s men’s section.

“He was standing by a clothes rack,” the report said. “She described him as being male, no hair, gray skin, almond black eyes with a lumpy heavily wrinkled face.” The alien appeared to be shopping and had a “pleasant smile” for ladies in the store.

Yet the woman told MUFON she decided to leave the scene “because she and her husband were planning to attend a movie.”

(It’s not known which outlet the aliens chose for their shopping spree, though several other sightings were reported near the Oxford Valley Mall.)

It’s good to know the impending alien invasion won’t be that bad; the aliens have the same commitment to savvy shopping as we do, at least. So hey, what’s to worry about?

In completely unrelated news, the UFO Call Center is sick and tired of receiving prank phone calls.

Huddleston spent six years at Fox 29, which did not renew his contract this summer. Huddleston lives in Delaware County with his wife Tracey and their two daughters.

“I’m excited to be joining the CBS 3 news team and delighted to have the opportunity to stay in Philadelphia which has become home to me and my family,” Huddleston said in a CBS 3 statement this afternoon.

Like I’ve always said: Heidi’s hair and makeup people are some of my favorite homosexuals on the planet, and if they want to marry each other, I’m not about to be like, ‘Don’t.

The sage and ever-eloquent Spencer Pratt — a staunch Republican — discusses Prop 8 during an interview today.

What a douchebag…

Oh, and do you know how frickin’ hard it is to find a picture of just Spencer Pratt? Heidi keeps poking her ass into every picture…or it may be the other way around.

Two zoning bills that open the door for a casino to be located in the Gallery at 11th and Market streets were approved in City Council this morning.

It has been two months since Foxwoods investors announced they are considering moving their casino project from a state-approved location on the Delaware riverfront in South Philly to the Gallery. Foxwoods has not shown any plans for what a Center City casino might look like. Foxwoods will need state approval for a move and approval from the City Planning Commission on a plan of development in order to open at the Gallery.

Looks like Philadelphia just lost the little bit of class that it had.

Catherine Baker Knoll, who at age 72 became the first woman to be elected as Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor, died Wednesday after a four-month battle with cancer. She was 78.

Knoll died at National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington, D.C., where she was recovering from a viral infection she contracted as a result of chemotherapy treatment for cancer, Gov. Ed Rendell said.

Knoll was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer in July 2008 and began radiation and chemotherapy treatments before publicly revealing her illness in August.

Here’s a report from Its Our City, talking about Philadelphia’s first Barack Obama mural.

Yes, normal crazy philadelphians have joined together to create a Barack Obama mural. Hope.

It looks like Saturday Night Live has finished them off. Fox has canceled one of its longest-running shows — the late-night sketch comedy veteran “Mad TV.”

The Saturday night mainstay’s current 14th season will be its last on the network.

The show’s co-creator David Salzman says he’s not giving up on the program and plans to shop “Mad TV” to cable networks and other outlets.

I kinda’ think Mad TV started going down hill once the original cast split.
