This is an aerial view of John Travolta’s Florida house in the Jumbolair Aviation Estates fly-in community.

It’s pretty cool, with open "garages" for two of his planes and a helicopter pad out back. Travolta, an avid pilot, was one of the first to purchase a home there, which resulted in a ton of publicity for the place.

According to the lawsuit filed by Travolta, the owners of the airstrip that serves the neighborhood (we know, it’s crazy!) has illegally changed the rules, in an effort to prevent Travolta from landing his Boeing 707 there.

The airport owners deny the allegations and claim that the runway simply can’t support the weight of such a big plane.

That’s a much more interesting dispute than the one we’re in with our neighbor about outdoor lighting, American flags and visitor parking. Wish we had one of Travolta’s planes so we could park it. On our neighbor. Shut that guy right up.

Nick Nolte Falling Down Drunk in Hawaii

nick-nolte-passed-out Nick Nolte Falling Down Drunk in Hawaii

Nick Nolte was at the Kauai Airport this week having a little trouble staying awake. Here’s more:

These photos taken by one of Nolte’s fellow passengers, who told TMZ that the incoherent actor drifted in and out of consciousness on the airport floor for more than two hours Monday night, after their flight was delayed because of engine problems.

According to the source, Nolte was still extremely friendly despite his groggy state — chatting with fans and allowing passengers to snap photos, however, he wasn’t entirely functional. "At one point we helped him put a dollar in the vending machine."

What’s wrong with a harmless and homeless looking drunk drooling and rolling around on the floor of the airport waiting area passing the time while his plane gets fixed? It’s not like Nick was flying the plane, and it’s hard to imagine how he drove himself to the airport. I’m not even sure he was getting on the plane at all. Maybe he just wandered into the airport so he could get a snack from the vending machine. Normally Nick is laying in the gutter next to his mansion, peeing on his neighbor’s flowers, and puking in the sandbox at the kiddy park. I’d say this was a pretty good day for Nick.

Congratulations are in order. Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman have a bambino on the way.

E! is reporting it as fact, today, and the Internets are abuzz with purported confirmations from the pop singer’s estranged papa.

Xtina is still touring the Far East and fans have noted that she’s taken to wearing a heart-rate monitor on her wrist. Seems she may have been keeping tabs on her exertion out of concern for her tiny tummy tot.

Guess July 3rd is pregnancy-confirmation day. Any others ready to make any joyous announcements? Demi? Britney? Jessica Simpson?
