John Travolta Sues Florida Airport Owners

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.

Clay Aiken Altercation on Airplane

Clay Aiken is okay folks. Not to worry, though we almost entitled this story “Clay Aiken’s Brush With Death on an Airplane” or “Gaykes on a Plane”…really, the list goes on and on.

MSNBC is reporting that the closeted crooner…er….very masculine American Idol runner up and a female passenger had a spat in the air and the FBI was called.

FBI Special Agent Gary Johnson said there was a dispute between a male passenger and a woman on the flight but could not confirm the passenger was Aiken. He said the dispute was over the male passenger’s foot resting on the woman’s armrest. He said there was an allegation the woman gave the male passenger a “minor shove” during the argument.

“At that point the flight crew was able to resolve the situation,” Johnson said.

According to MSNBC, at his concert later that night, "Aiken joked on-stage about being beaten up by a girl earlier in the day."

We’re thinking Aiken might want to tone down the joking. We all know that if the those flight-attendant fans of his hadn’t jumped in to help him, that lady might have taken him out.

Can’t you just picture a smug Aiken refusing to move his foot. Don’t you know who I am?

Wonder if Clay’s seatmate offered to hold him down, while the shover bitch-slapped him?

By all means, we really aren’t condoning air-rage. We’re just saying that, in theory, one might be inclined to help a sister out by blocking the arrogant Aiken’s escape to the lavatory.

Or maybe tripping him.
