Other Celebrities Kicked Off Planes

Posted by Natalia Buia on December 7th, 2011

Following the recent pandemonium (19 points!) – sorry, the last article still has me using big girl words – that had Alec Baldwin kicked off a plane for honestly the dumbest reason ever, I’d compiled a list of other celebrities who have been yanked from the jets.

Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong was once escorted off a Southwest flight after refusing to pull up his pants. It’s not like he was just finishing his induction into the Mile High Club either, it’s just that his underwear was showing. A flight attendent brought it to his attention and the “Walking Contradiction” singer lashed out and then got the boot. More like a walking opposition.

Country singer and Celebrity Apprentice winner John Rich was kicked off a plane earlier this week for being too drunk. Oh, I should point out this flight was at 10 in the morning! Reports say the bumpkin got in a verbal argument before he even boarded the Nashville-bound plane. I assume the talk when a little bit like this: “Listen, steward, I swear to drunk I’m not God! Hey, Pan Am got cancelled, so why are you still here?!”

It was a close call for Whitney Houston earlier this year. She almost got thrown out of a plane (while it was still on land, of course) for not buckling up. On a Delta flight, leaving Atlanta for Detroit, the singer got “all diva” on the crew when they repeatedly insisted she buckle her seatbelt. Delta needs to cool it. It’s one thing to get mad about not buckling up but a whole other thing to get mad if she was caught smoking in the bathroom, right girl?

The man famous for his character Silent Bob definitely made a loud reaction when he was kicked off a plane for being overweight. Southwest Airlines were adamant that Kevin Smith should purchase two seats instead of one, simply for his size. He tweeted immediately, “I know I’m fat, but was Captain Leysath really justified in throwing me off a flight for which I was already seated?” If Southwest Airlines have taught me anything, it’s that they’re huge dicks. No, actually they’re just dicks that hate huge people. Following his immediate removal, Kevin Smith proceeded to laugh all the way to the bank.

Five years ago, all these snakes on this mother truckin’ plane flying from Honolulu to Los Angeles were gently removed (and by that I mean violently killed) no thanks to Samuel L. Jackson.

Halle Berry on Broadway

Posted by Lauren Treihaft on December 2nd, 2010

According to Perezhilton.com, prominent actress, Halle Berry will make her Broadway debut  in The Mountaintop alongside Samuel L. Jackson.

The Mountaintop is a play written by Katori Hall. It is a fictionalized account of the Reverend Martin Luther King’s last night before his assassination on April 4, 1968. The entire play takes place in a room at the Lorraine Motel. The production first premiered in London in 2009 and received rave reviews. Surely it’s transatlantic leap will be no different.

The Broadway stage is new territory for Berry. Having won a prestigious Academy Award for her intense roll in 2001′s romantic drama, Monster’s Ball, the stage should prove to be an effective place for Berry to show off her acclaimed acting skills once again.

In regard to Berry’s film career, she has just finished shooting her new movie, Frankie and Alice, a character study of a person with multiple personality disorder. However, the film only received a C+ rating from Entertainment Weekly’s film critic Lisa Schwarzbaum. In light of the mediocre review, perhaps the stage is a good career decision for the actress.

Samuel L. Jackson Sells ‘Snakes’ By Phone

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 15th, 2006

In an innovative promotional move for new movie “Snakes on a Plane,” Samuel L. Jackson is making (kind of) personal phone calls urging viewers to see the flick.

The campaign was launched by “Snakes” studio New Line Cinema and VariTalk, a company specializing in cell phone marketing.

Those wanting to check out the nifty technology can log-on to snakesonaplane.varitalk.com. After entering a friend’s cell phone number, their name, and a few details about their personality and life, a custom phone message is generated in Jackson’s voice. The message can then be sent by phone or e-mail.

“This is what we have done throughout the entire ‘Snakes’ campaign — allow people to take ownership of the film and its marketing messages,” said New Line marketing chief Russell Schwartz. “However, the fact that there have been over 1.5 million calls placed within the first week is astounding to us.”

The film itself — which seems to have become a secondary entity to the hype, jokes and ad campaigns — opens on Friday, August 18.

Samuel L. Jackson, Jessica Biel, Christina Ricci and Brian Presley have already signed on to star in the project, which follows three soldiers and the difficult adjustments they must make upon their return home from the battlefield.
