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,......

What's new and/or interesting on television this week. Victoria Beckham: Coming to America (Mon, 8PM-9PM, NBC10) - It's the British invasion all over again in this reality show-type special which follows Posh Spice as she moves from London to LA.

Banner week for SFist as the site's new editor introduced himself -- hooray for Brock! While the NY Times weighed in on SF's mayoral race, only SFist had the (insert tongue firmly into cheek) hard-hitting latest on candidate/activist Josh Wolf.

Though MLS hopes to create a revolution in American sports with the signing of David Beckham to the L.A. Galaxy, it's more likely the move will have much more modest results.

God, we're so sick of Snakes on a Plane that we want to kill anyone and everyone that makes a "something on a something" joke. But then we realized that there was no way we could ever win this fight, and, hell, if you can't beat them, we might as well join them. And with that, you have the theme of this weeks' Gothamist network post. Austinist makes it easy for us, with Candidate on......

Twelfth Night Without the Shipwreck…But it Still Sinks Best described as "Just One of the Guys meets Bend it Like Beckham with some Shakespearean names thrown in since the Julia Stiles Shakespearean adaptations are so hot with the kids theses days" (at least that's how I imagine the pitch meeting went); She's the Man is ostensibly inspired by Twelfth Night, and tells the tale of young Viola (Amanda Bynes), an aspiring soccer player who disguises......

This week’s query comes from a reader fed up with the South Street sex toy scene: I want to acquire another dildo (or two). a) Where in the Philly area has the largest selection? Are my choices......
