If you are an American college student with some time to kill there is absolutely no reason you shouldn’t visit the UK.

Flights to London are cheaper than ever, and although the city is known for being notoriously expensive, you can have an amazing time with very little money.

Consider taking a long weekend trip to London this fall. Before you go, read this guide about my three days in London, which covers specific walking tours, must see views, museums to hit and also places to avoid. Also make sure you read hostel reviews on Hostel World to find a great, inexpensive place to stay, and buy yourself a good pair of walking shoes. (more…)

This afternoon an Alien spacecraft made contact at London’s Piccadilly Circus. As quickly as it came it was gone but not before two Alien creatures that looked very much like Earthly elephant’s went for a bungie jump.

Good thing the Indian lady at the end of the video had a super fast Samsung Jet camera phone on hand to snap a picture! If not for the Samsung Jet and it’s lightning fast photo capabilities the event would never have been captured.

Cha-ching!

When in London for a weekend, there are endless possibilities. There are lists upon lists of pubs, restaurants, and hotels that will have you, and keep you, for a few days straight. A recent trip to London helped me to compile a list of weekend must-sees. But narrowing down this excellent English city to just a few bullet points doesn’t do it justice, so if you have suggestions, be sure to leave them in a comment. (more…)

Local British hotties don’t get the respect and awe that they deserve. We all know about the Keeleys, Lucys and the pre-crack Amy Winehouses – but what about the local talent that can be found on London’s famed High Street? So much stock is put into America’s “Girl Next Door” mystique, but for those of us who have not traveled abroad, we have FHM to thank for schooling us about the best side of British culture.

Once a year, FHM pulls together 100 of the hottest honeys High Street has to offer. It is your civic duty to check out each one of these lovely lasses and place your vote.  Your country depends on it. God Save The Queen.

Fresh off her community service sentence in 2007 for beaming her maid’s face with a diamond incrusted blackberry, Naomi Campbell is back in the courthouse. Apparently, she unleashed the fury on a couple of people after an airline lost her bags.

From CNN.com:

The Supermodel has been sentenced to 200 hours of community service after pleading guilty to assaulting two police officers following an “air rage” incident at London’s Heathrow Airport…

Prosecutors described how Campbell kicked and spat at police, used foul language and accused airline personnel of racism after she was told that one of her bags had not been placed on the British Airways flight to Los Angeles on 3 April. The London-born model was also ordered to pay $400 to each of the police officers she attacked and $300 to Miles Sutherland, the captain of the British Airways plane she disrupted, in addition to a $4,600 fine. 

The best part? As part of her last conviction, she was forced to attend anger management. Guess those didn’t really work out, huh?

It’s been 17 years since Led Zeppelin last reunited for a one-off performance, and much has changed in the climate of popular rock. To “rawk” nowadays you must simply grumble in a faux-baritone while chugging guitars steady the pace until the chorus sends the entire affair into a loud, mid-tempo dirge. It’s a sad state of affairs in rock today if you’re not looking in the right places.

In Led Zeppelin’s heyday, the late John Bonham’s caveman stomp supplied the blueprint for every Bamm-Bamm inspired drummer; John Paul Jones anchored the band with seismic bass and keyboard accompaniment; Page’s riffs proved the theory of plate tectonics and Plant’s coyote howl could tear the pasties off a stripper. Yeah…Led Zep was (and is) pretty good.

Amy Winehouse has spun completely out of control.

Bruised and battered from a scuffle with her “husband” Blake Fielder-Civil, 23-year-old Winehouse looked very much the mess on London streets early Thursday morning. This is certainly one of those cases where even the paparazzi reveals a heart – if only after taking pictures of the bloodied-up couple.

With enough celeb sob-stories to muss over every minute of every day Winehouse’s fall from grace is the most distressing, as her rise to worldwide fame has given way to worldwide infamy in record time.

I sincerely hope that she finds some help from some of her real-life friends – not money-grubbing, tail-following scenesters.
