Oprah's Private Jet Pilot And Flight Attendant Get Caught In The (Sex) Act
You know what two words we don't enjoy hearing placed together in a sentence? "Oprah" and "sex." But with a new lawsuit against the talk show host and one-woman conglomerate, it looks like we'll have to endure their combination for a while.
Recently one of Oprah's former flight attendants on her private jet files a defamation of character suit against Winfrey, since Winfrey had fired her after supposedly catching her joining the Mile High Club with the jet's pilot while in the air and as passengers (including Winfrey) slept. Although this sounds like a topic Oprah would use for a show—"no-limits intimacy," anyone?—the matter is serious and the flight attendant claims that Oprah's accusations are false since all sex acts between her and the pilot only occurred while "occurred while the plane was safely landed and refueling." Oh okay, because now that it's all clear, that makes it alright.

Text-Crazy Woman Files Suit Against Southwest
We’ve all been there. The flight attendant kindly asks everyone to turn off their electronic devices, but one person is just to cool for school and continues to text and tweet away. One woman did exactly this, but she obviously took it a little too far and wound up going to the big house for a couple hours.
It all started on a Southwest Airlines flight in Nashville last summer. The passenger was returning from Florida and wanted to let her kids know that she was safe and on her way home. Apparently a flight attendant asked her to turn off the phone, but then returned several times to reinforce his message, including two visits as the plane headed toward the runway. Maybe if it was the rapping flight attendant, she would have paid attention.

Enterprise Sues Chicago Over Rental Car Fees In the Burbs
Renting a car can be the highlight of your trip, or it can be something truly different. However, one thing is certain, you’ll be charged all kinds of fees no matter what company you use, what insurance you decline, and whether or not you pop for the GPS thing.
That’s why we’re happy to hear that Enterprise is looking to fight the fees. Yes, they are looking to reduce fees, but it’s also kind of in their best interest, so don't give them an award just yet.

Lawyers Threaten Delta's Plans To WiFi Its Planes
Unfortunately, it’s not all hugs and kisses in the land of in-flight WiFi. Delta, one of the leaders in domestic WiFi offerings so far, is in a little bit of hot water. Aircell and Delta are the subject of a lawsuit filed by Massachusetts based company Ambit. They claim that Delta yoinked their idea of using antennae to aid in personal computer communication in a location like an airplane, and that they already have a patent for this concept.

Sarkozy Postpones Hot Wife Travel To Search For Sense Of Humor
Globe trotter and French President Nicolas Sarkozy needs to lighten up. Between Hillary Clinton “nutcrackers” and dozens of books quoting the idiocy of George W. Bush, politicians in countries with freedom of speech are subject to mockery and the entrepreneurs who cash in on it.
That’s why a French judge yesterday rejected Sarkozy’s lawsuit against a company selling a voodoo doll featuring some of his most derided lines. His lawyer claimed he had absolute rights to his own image, but the judge ruled the doll was "within the authorized limits of free expression and the right to humor."
The company also made a similar doll mocking Sarkozy’s former presidential opponent, Ségolène Royal, who decided not to sue because, she says, “I have a sense of humor.” The French have a word for this dig: Touché.
