The couple was spotted at the Original Cupcake Shop on Denman Street where they bought cupcakes and a small cake earlier this week. One of the store's employees told People, "They seemed like a really sweet couple."

Were Jennifer Lopez, Charlie Sheen and LeBron James All Flying on an Unsafe Private Plane?

December 15, 2011 at 3:20 PM | by | Comments (0)

A whistleblower is calling out Crystal Air Aviation for flying their VIP clients, including Jennifer Lopez and Charlie Sheen, on an unsafe jet.

The ex-pilot, George Thomsen, left the airline after discovering problems with everything from the plane's navigational device to its weather radar and fuel lines:

"My whole career of 42 years of flying has been about safety," he said. "These guys for whatever way possible to shortchange training, shortchange maintenance and jeopardize safety. They are jeopardizing safety and lives."

The Latest on the Alec Baldwin, Words With Friends, American Airlines Insanity

December 12, 2011 at 8:25 AM | by | Comments (0)

Stop us if you've already seen this, but Alec Baldwin took his Words With Friends cause to SNL's Weekend Update on Saturday night to, well...apologize to himself.

In case you've been living in a cave the last several days, the story goes a little something like this: Baldwin was sitting on an American Airlines plane at LAX, playing the mobile app word game "Words With Friends." The plane door had already been closed (the cue to turn off electronic devices), and Alec refused flight attendant demands to turn off his device. He continued playing the Scrabble-like game, even retreating to the airplane bathroom in anger. So the plane kicked him off.

Alec tweeted his frustrations before being placed on a later flight, vowing never to fly American Airlines again. This was followed by a media flurry over the whole juicy ordeal, Alec mysteriously closing his Twitter account, and an offer from Greyhound to come play Words With Friends with their CEO on their buses.

So, back to the SNL video....

American Airlines Plane Boots Alec Baldwin Over 'Words With Friends'

December 6, 2011 at 5:20 PM | by | Comments (0)

Did you feel that? If the internet could have earthquakes, we'd have just experienced a minor one as Alec Baldwin went from tweeting like normal, to getting kicked off an American Airlines plane at LAX, to being in custody, to becoming a trending topic, to giving his side of the story via Twitter in just about the span of one hour.

The reason for the tarmac takedown? Apparently, according to Alec, he was playing the popular mobile Scrabble-like app Words With Friends when a flight attendant "reamed" him out. Of course he was probably still playing it beyond the point of being asked to turn off and stow all electronic devices for take-off, hence the flight attendant interference. We predict that the next few days will see news channels rehashing the old argument of whether or not cell signals interfere with airplanes. You know, that old chestnut.

Tom Cruise Takes the Taj Mahal for 'Mission Impossible 4,' Despite a Small Scandal

Where: Mumbai, India
December 5, 2011 at 2:24 PM | by | Comments (0)

Tom Cruise spent a whirlwind weekend in India, taking part in everything from a photo-op at the Taj Mahal to an all-night party in Mumbai, but it's his "fans" who are making headlines overseas.

According to the Hindustan Times, hundreds of the fans who were waiting for Cruise to arrive at the Mumbai Airport weren't fans at all, but rather "junior artists" being paid 150 INR ($3) for the day. One of the "fans" even admitted she never heard of Tom Cruise before arriving at the airport for her paid gig. That's a bit farfetched (who hasn't heard of Tom Cruise), but let's go with it.

Air New Zealand Kills Off Their Viral Video Puppet. Literally.

December 5, 2011 at 2:04 PM | by | Comment (1)

Air New Zealand's new viral media campaign asks fans and followers to solve the murder of Rico, their obnoxious creepster of a puppet, by playing an online game.

The rat-like character, you'll remember, had been slowly making the transition merely sleazy to borderline rapey over a series of videos. Apparently the airline's creatives ran out of ideas, so they killed him.

The game is a Clue knockoff in which players are asked to determine which celebrity killed Rico where with what etc etc. The story is that Rico was killed at a Hollywood house-warming party, and so many of his former interviewees apparently make appearances. There's also some kind of prize which includes economy airfare to LA, a hotel stay, Universal Studios and Disney vouchers, and some other stuff. We're unsure whether "not playing the game at all" because "you really don't care" makes you eligible, but the rules and conditions spell everything out.

Yes, You Can Now Buy Elizabeth Taylor's Collection of Louis Vuitton Luggage

December 5, 2011 at 11:28 AM | by | Comments (0)

While it seems like the jewelry of Elizabeth Taylor goes on show at museums all the time, this round in New York City is different. On display through December 12 and then up for auction until December 17 are $150 million worth of Taylor's luxury items, including jewelry (of course), custom-made designer clothing, gifts from illustrious friends and—our favorite of all—Elizabeth's massive collection of Louis Vuitton luggage.

Christie's will be conducting the historical sale, most of which will be focused on the clothing (like Taylor's wedding dress for her nuptials with Richard Burton), so getting in on the accessories is a sweet bet. Vintage Louis Vuitton trunks are highly sought after, but a variety such as this rarely appears, and depending on interest in individual pieces, could sell for lower prices than it would cost to call up Vuitton and having a new one specially made.

If you'd just like to window shop, the collection is on exhibit at Christie's through the December 12, 2011 and you must purchase tickets to enter. Each adult is $30 and entrances are staggered so that the space doesn't get too crowded, and you have plenty of room to appreciate and get up close to each item. Get those tickets here. After this, much of the inventory will go into private collections perhaps never to be seen again, so just go.

Leave It to St. Barts to Drain LA of Its Celebs This Season

December 1, 2011 at 12:39 PM | by | Comments (0)

While most of us will likely spend the holidays schlepping through snow to the homes of our various friends and relatives, many in Hollywood are gearing up for their own holiday tradition of hitting the surf and sand on St. Barts.

The secluded Caribbean island is a true hotspot for international celebs looking to get away during the winter, partly because there are only about 20 hotels on the entire island, and most have only a few rooms so their famous patrons get plenty of individual attention. Of course there's always house rentals, but in case you're cool with dropping four digits per night on many, we'll leave those to the A-list.
