"Flight attendant on American reamed me out 4 playing WORDS W FRIENDS while we sat at the gate, not moving. #nowonderamericaairisbankrupt.”
It might be time for a Words With Friends intervention.
But Alec isn’t the first celeb with airplane drama, not by far. In fact, you haven’t made it in Hollywood until a flight attendant has said, “buh bye!” to you before the plane has taken off. Getting kicked off planes (or almost getting kicked off) seems to be the latest Hollywood trend. Here are 10 celebs who have had airplane drama:
Josh Duhamel: Josh, you might have a pretty face, but your in-flight attitude is just plane ugly. After Duhamel refused to turn off his Blackberry, despite repeated requests by a flight attendant, he was escorted off of a flight from NYC to Kentucky. Passengers said he was “very rude” and also “taunting the attendant.” Duhamel admitted the experience was “not my favorite moment.”

Yes you heard that right, Leo partied and raised money at the same time. According to Page Six, at his bash at NY’s Avenue nightclub, he charged guests for drinks and bottle service and ultimately raised $1.3 million for his Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, which funds wildlife-protection projects and provides disaster relief and access to clean water in disaster stricken countries like Haiti.
This is Leonardo DiCaprio talking to a non-famous guy about birthdays:
Leo: Hey man, what did you do for your birthday?
Non Famous guy: Oh you know, tricked out the rims on my Honda Accord and dropped $100 at some strip club with my bros.

Here are 5 celebrity business endeavors that didn’t quite make it.
Kim Basinger: After her 1989 Batman success, Kim bought a town. Yes, an entire town. Kim purchased the town of Braselton, Georgia for $20 million. She was hoping to turn it into a tourist attraction. Basinger wanted to develop movie studios and host a film festival there. Turns out, she couldn’t single-handedly recreate Hollywood in a Podunk place in the middle of nowhere. In an interview with Barbara Walters in 1998, Basinger said “nothing good came out of it” due to a rift in her family. That, and, it was a terrible idea.

Russell Brand took to his website to post a tribute to Amy, which doubled as an important message about the nature of addiction. So many celebs have struggled with drug and alcohol abuse. Sometimes they get the help they need, and other times, it’s too late.
Elton John: Elton’s addictions to alcohol and cocaine took their toll in 1975, when he overdosed during “Elton Week” in Los Angeles. He now cites getting sober as his greatest accomplishment.

"Listen, I make many mistakes. Many mistakes. I'm not a perfect human being," says Campbell.
"I have to learn from my mistakes. And a lot of the ones I've made have been public. So I always get nervous when people speak about something that sounds like a role model, because I don't know if I've been a great role model myself."
In the photos that accompany the shoot, Naomi looks very dark and almost dangerous. But at this stage of the game, a good girl image isn’t something she’s concerned with keeping up.
"I mean, look, I'm controversial," she tells the mag. "If people want to work with me, then they want to work with me. If they don't, they don't."
Campbell says her fellow supermodels Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista helped her along the way during her early modeling years.
"Honestly, for me it was a blessing to have a friend like Christy. I was so indebted to her for so many things," she says.
"You know, when I was younger there were certain designers who hadn't used models of color in their shows, and Christy and Linda said to them, 'If you don't take Naomi, then you don't get us.' My friends and comrades stuck up for me -- and that doesn't happen in fashion. I will never forget that.
"I don't forget what people do. No matter how many years go by, I always remember."
It’s interesting to see this side of Naomi. At least she doesn’t believe in her heart of hearts that she hasn’t been in the wrong lately.
Admitting fault is half the battle!

Naomi, who has some serious anger management issues, thinks Teresa is the perfect role model.
"She's a role model," Campbell told Bravo's Andy Cohen on Thursday's Watch What Happens: Live of the Real Housewives of New Jersey star. "A mother, businesswoman, [who's] cooking, cleaning the house -- and her kids always look...amazing!"
And obviously Teresa was flattered. "I don't know how I do it, I just do," she said. "Everyone asks me, I swear to God, but I have a lot of energy. And good genes, I guess."
Teresa recently made headlines for shoving Andy Cohen aside to give Danielle Staub a piece of her mind. And Naomi was loving every minute of it! "I understood," Campbell says of Teresa's decision to shove Andy to the side when lunging at Danielle. "She didn’t see [him] at that moment. you mess with her family and that's what you get!"
Can you imagine if these two really hit it off and become BFF's? Teresa will flip tables while Naomi attacks the other housewives with Blackberry’s. Just for fun, let's revisit Teresa's infamous "Prostitution Whore" table flipping video...

According to the Detroit News, Naomi reportedly owes $63,487 in unpaid taxes from work she did in 2009.
The lien, which was filed at the New York Register's office, gave Naomi's address as the Carnegie Hall Tower skyscraper in New York City.
She's certainly had an interesting few weeks. She had to appear in court in The Hague, Netherlands, on August 5 to give evidence at the war crimes trial of Liberian dictator Charles Taylor.
During the trial, Naomi was accused by her former agent Carol White of receiving "blood diamonds," jewels mined in a war zone and sold to aid warlord activity or invading forces' campaigns. She claimed she received them as a gift at a party held at former South African President Nelson Mandela's house in September 1997.
She was forced to give the "dirty pebbles" back and now has a huge tax lien to worry about. She's dating one of the richest men on the planet so $63K is like chump change for them.
But Farrow claims Naomi did in fact know about the source of the diamonds. Today she said on the stand that that while she was eating breakfast with her children the next morning, Campbell bragged to her about the gift, and told her where it came from.
"She said that in the night she had been awakened, some men were knocking at the door, and they had been sent by Charles Taylor," Farrow said. "And they had given her a huge diamond."
Farrow, under cross examination, said she "didn't see the diamond or diamonds" and was strictly going by "what Naomi Campbell said.
These diamonds could be the proof that Taylor had been trading firearms to rebels in Sierra Leone during that country's civil war from 1991 to 2002. In exchange, Taylor received the diamonds and other natural resources from the rebels.
Taylor, who's also accused of murder, rape, sexual enslavement and recruiting child soldiers, has pleaded not guilty to the 11 war crimes he stands accused of.
Sounds like Naomi has painted herself in a corner! We wonder how much trouble she could get in for lying about this!
Watch the video below...what do you think of Farrow's testimony?

Naomi has finally confessed she received "blood diamonds" from Liberian dictator Charles Taylor. She admitted getting “dirty pebbles” while testifying at the war crimes trial of Taylor in The Hague, Netherlands.
Naomi once told actress Mia Farrow, who was also called to trail, that she had received jewels as a personal gift from Taylor during a party held at former South African President Nelson Mandela's house in September 1997.
According to Mia’s previous allegations, Naomi “told us she had been awakened in the night by knocking at her door. She opened the door to find two or three men - I do not recall how many - who presented her with a large diamond which they said was from Charles Taylor."
During her testimony, Naomi stated she was given a pouch with some “dirty little pebbles” but denied receiving a "huge, uncut" diamond.
She said: “The next morning at breakfast I told Ms Farrow and (her former agent Carol White) what had happened and one of the two said, ‘That's obviously Charles Taylor’, and I said, ‘I guess that was.’"
She continued: “There was no one else at the dinner who would have given diamonds as a gift.”
But she claims her safety has been jeopardized now that this information has gone public and she wants nothing to do with the diamond. She said: “I don't want anything to do with it. I care about the protection of my family.
“This is someone (Charles Taylor) that I read up on, on the internet, that's killed thousands of people allegedly and I don't want my family in danger in any way.”
The trail is far from over, so expect to see Naomi make more headlines. Stay tuned...
