Philadelphia news obsession makes me happy. So here’s an update.
Vince DeMentri wasn’t where he should have been – at the anchor desk – on NBC10′s 4 p.m. newscast. And Dan Gross says he still hasn’t returned any phone calls.
NBC10 should be releasing something about this. Being in Philadelphia – and reporting the news in Philadelphia – they should know they’re not going to stop getting hassled until he’s fired, if that’s the route NBC10 chooses. Again, I won’t comment.
In other breaking news, Pat Burrell ate a cheeseburger at Rouge at 205 S. 18th St. yesterday. I would’ve opted for the Caesar salad, but I guess that’s not Pat’s style.
Not to be outdone by CBS3 July 10, 2008

First, it was not to be outdone by Alycia. And now, it’s this.
Apparently, NBC10 anchor Vince DeMentri was jealous of the press CBS3′s talent has been getting. So he decided to get some of his own.
Eternal newser Dan Gross reports that DeMentri may have allegedly vandalized cohort (and possibly former companion?) Lori Delgado’s car in the NBC10 parking lot. The DA has called it a “non-issue.”
DeMentri wasn’t on the air last Thursday and Friday (after an apparent argument with the station manager) and has been off the air this week for a planned Jamaican vacation, though he apparently never left the country.
As I’ve said before, I don’t like to comment on these situations publicly. But I will say this. I want a job in the future. A job where I can be credible. But I’ve got a few more years. So please, while there’s still a little bit of time left, let’s maintain some sort of credibility in Philadelphia!? Please!?
