Yesterday, we attend yet another Virgin America new route launch party. Keep going VA! This time Sir Richard Branson and Co. have begun offering five-times-daily flights flights out of The Real Orange County (John Wayne Airport) to San Francisco.

The inaugural event began yesterday after take off in San Francisco with Branson twittering in-flight using the fleet-wide WiFi at 35,000 feet. Upon landing in the OC, Branson was greeted by the cast of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Orange County” and Red Bull athletes. And for those guests lucky enough to be on the inaugural flight? They received Bare Escentuals makeovers and Sunset Tan spray.

The party continued over to the Pacific Edge Hotel in Laguna Beach but before all that, we managed to chase Sir Richard Branson down for an interview, in his car.

Lucky Snoop Dogg won't be following in the footsteps of Paris Hilton or even O.J. by heading to jail in 2007. The man also known as Calvin Broadus Jr. has run into trouble at airports before, but for his latest offense--packing a collapsible baton in his carry-on luggage--Snoop pled guilty and escaped with 3 years of probation and 160 hours of community service. (He was arrested twice after that for gun and marijuana possession, for which he also received probation.)

The rapper is expected to join an Orange County grounds crew as early as next week to earn out his hours. That's four work weeks of 8-hour days--unless his tour intervenes.
