Londonist are starting to think their city is getting just a little bit too expensive, when even Christian Slater can't afford to go out there. And there's no escaping, as local singer Lily Allen discovered when she was barred entry to the US. The British mapping agency caused further bad karma, by blocking a 3-D representation of London in Google Earth. But the smiles returned to Londonist's faces as they interviewed Baroness von Reichardt,...

After getting knocked around last week and twisting her ankle, Amy of Survivor:Guatemala was ready for some fun. Winning a chance to have a picnic lunch atop a Mayan Temple, Amy got her first taste of booze while reminiscing about Boston. The booze must have been good since after getting liquored up, she confessed that she'd kill Gary if she found out he was an ex-NFL quarterback.

Amy seems like she would be a fun girl to go out to a bar with and Bostonist can't wait for her to come back.
