This ought to help his popularity issues. Gov. Corbett has rejected an in-person request from hometown hero Bradley Cooper and director David O. Russell for tax credits to shoot a film based on the Abscam scandal that rocked Philly (and the country) in 1980. (Corbett--listen to this, voters--didn't even meet with the pair, though they schlepped to Harrisburg to plead their case.) Though the movie would be set in Philly (council members were involved in the scandal, in which the F.B.I. created a fake sheikh to fake-bribe elected officials), Corbett said there wasn't any money left in the budget to

Nooooooo. Philly's own adopted girl-next-door from the diner-next-door has been revealed as the loose-living miscreant she portrayed in Silver Linings Playbook. Perez Hilton has a photo of her day-drinking in Hawaii, avec hand-rolled joint-like item. (No word on whether she met up with Barack Obama's choom gang.) Seriously, though, if anything, she'll only become more popular. After all, would unrelatable goodie-two-shoes Anne Hathaway ever smoke pot? I think not. [Perez Hilton]

The video is a bit hard to hear, so here's a transcript from a gossip blog.
A star-struck Lawrence could hardly believe the unexpected meeting with the Hollywood icon, who praised the “beautiful job” she did in Silver Linings Playbook.
But things got even better

On the cheek, on the cheek. Settle down everyone. Temple professor and prominent Philly theater actress Cheryl Williams, in case you weren't aware, played Jennifer Lawrence's mother in "Silver Linings Playbook." She sat down with the Temple News recently and revealed what we always suspected. Bradley Cooper is a total, unabashed, sweetiepie. "I chatted with Bradley Cooper and he’s a total gentleman. He’d always ask how your day was and give you a kiss on the cheek. He would always thank everyone after filming a scene, too."
She also tells a heartwarming little story about landing the role while she was
