Kendra and Hank Head For A St. Lucia Honeymoon

June 30, 2009 at 11:32 AM | 0 Comments

Newlyweds and "Kendra" stars, Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett, were spotted Sunday catching a departing flight out of LAX bound for their swanky St. Lucia honeymoon. The 24-year-old Playboy Playmate and 26-year-old NFL player were married on Saturday at the Playboy mansion in Los Angeles thanks to Kendra's ex, Hugh Hefner. One of the bridesmaids, Kendra's former "Girls Next Door" co-star, Holly Madison, dished for People:

She looked like a princess. It was a beautiful setting for a wedding. [Kendra and Hank are] definitely ready for their honeymoon now. They need a vacation.

In the airport, Kendra was wearing a t-shirt proclaiming her status as a “High Maintenance Bride,” which may have just been an attempt to take attention away from her growing baby bump and redirect it towards her more famous assets. Kendra and Hank's bundle of joy is due on Christmas Day and, yes, her ex will also be the godfather.

Justin Timberlake Wards Off The Ladies With Armed Guard at CDG

June 24, 2009 at 11:02 AM | 0 Comments

Over the weekend, Justin Timberlake was spotted arriving at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, rolling his own Louis Vuitton bag and being escorted by an armed guard, presumably to keep away screaming teenage girls.

Last night, Jonathan Rhys Meyers was also spotted with a guard in the Paris airport, only this guard wasn't trying to protect Meyers, he was trying to protect the general public. Apparently, the "Tudor" was on a bit of a bender as he threw money on the floor and drunkenly bragged about his wealth. He reportedly told the officers, "You wanna hit me? Hit me!"

We wonder if he was upset about the new baggage fees, which seem even worse now that there is a resolution in the House of Representatives to have the TSA take control of the size of carry-on bags. If passed, instead of each airline being responsible for screening the size of each passenger's bag, the TSA will presumably screen bags as people are going through the metal detectors.

This is supposed to insure a uniform standard for the size of all carry-on luggage, but will also mean your only choices in the airport will be to go through one more bureaucratic step or be gouged by the airlines to check your luggage. Maybe its time to get to know the Amtrak schedule a bit better.

Heidi and Seal Indulge In A PDA Outside Of LAX

June 16, 2009 at 9:22 AM | 0 Comments

Heidi Klum was spotted kissing Seal goodbye at LAX Sunday before boarding a plane to NYC. Heidi headed to the Big Apple to attend last night's CFDA Awards, where The Council of Fashion Designers of America celebrates the biggest names in fashion, and Klum was included with these stars, without regard to what Karl Lagerfeld says.

Since Heidi was taking along some special cargo—kids Leni and Henry—she will probably appreciate the announcement LAX made recently when they unveiled a $7 million radar system designed to eliminate aircraft runway incursions. LAX is the third airport to install the radar, after Dallas/Fort Worth and San Diego.

Now that LAX is safer, both you and Heidi can feel even better about taking advantage of the great deals to Hawaii this fall. The LA Times Travel Blog found fares between Los Angeles (LAX) and Honolulu (HNL) as low as $214 round trip, including tax, through Dec. 16 via Airfare Watchdog. Similar deals exist on Travelocity, where fares run around $235; no doubt Klum needs a vacation after all the dissing on her lately.

Posh Spice Takes Fashion Tips From Her Chauffeur

May 15, 2009 at 9:16 AM | 0 Comments

While we're now accustomed to watching Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice strut through airports in decidedly un-airplane friendly gear, we usually just chalk it up to celebrity image. More often than not, this means that Posh flouts comfort and walks through security or the baggage claim in 5-inch stilletos with a tailored suit or structured shoulders so big that we're thankful she has a seat in first class.

In her recent airport "photo shoot" at London's LHR, she's sporting her usual uniform of stilettos and skin tight jeans as well as a white Hermes Kelly bag that could easily fit two Olsens inside (or in this case, two Posh Spices). We can look beyond this, save for the questionable choice to also rock a chauffeur's hat.

Is this a new airport fashion statement or did she just snag this off her driver so she wouldn't be recognized? We're thinking it's the former unless the cabin pressure really did a job on her 'do.

Why So Glum, Celebrity Chums?

February 19, 2009 at 12:55 PM | 0 Comments

We're in the doldrums of February right now and some days it's hard enough to leave the house, let alone travel somewhere. We know. We're feeling it. But things aren't going to be like this forever!

Look around you. Do you have an adorable dog? Did you just get back from a tropical vacation? Are you chowing down on some fast food or meeting your lover at the airport? Well, you've got that going for you. You could smile even while you know everyone in the world is watching you... but then we'll think you're crazy.

Six Stars We'd Like To See On The Side Of A Plane

February 12, 2009 at 10:30 AM | 0 Comments

After seeing a hundred-foot-long Bar Refaeli on a Southwest plane yesterday, we began to question why more planes don't have really, really, ridiculously good-looking people on them. Sure, the commenters at Blog Southwest may not all agree with us that a swimsuit-issue snap is appropriate, but these frequent travelers look good in everything -- or almost nothing.

So meet the fleet of Jaunted Air -- the best-looking planes in the business. We've got three lovely ladies and three dashing men, who we hope will be as happy to see them in the air as we are.

Pack Like No One's Watching

February 5, 2009 at 11:20 AM | 0 Comments

How we learned to stop worrying and love our luggage: By taking a page from stars who tote their own and holding our head up high. Whether it's pulling your rolling bag with a smile, like Whitney Houston, or flouncing through security with a ballcap and a big ol' bow like Bar Refaeli, it's all about the attitude.

So go ahead, wear your ridiculous boots to the airport like Dakota Fanning. Whether you're new to the paparazzi gauntlet like "Slumdog Millionaire"'s Freida Pinto or so over that mess like Ryan Reynolds, you may as well love the baggage you're with.

Apply The Ryanair Rule To Your Favorite Stars

January 26, 2009 at 8:50 AM | 0 Comments

Last week Ryanair announced it would start fining passengers for taking more than one carry-on bag aboard. We don't imagine a lot of A-listers are taking Europe's cheapest airline, but if they did, who would rise to the challenge and who would be digging in their pockets for that £30 ($42) fee?

Anne Hathaway conquers the clutter with one tiny purse -- even her man-friend has a bigger bag! Kate Winslet's elegant handbag makes it easy for her to sign autographs for her fans and talk on her phone at LAX. Vanessa Hudgens looks a little weighted down by her huge bag, but she managed to keep it to one -- for an LAX-Tokyo flight, nonetheless!

But not every celeb can get down to that one bag. Bar Refaeli's pair of a blue purse and roller makes her a light packer, but a heavy overhead-bin user. Hayden Panettiere's super-chic belted bag (complete with seatbelt buckle) wouldn't fool a gate agent into thinking she was only toting a purse. And Jessica Simpson's second piece can't be checked -- she'd be paying a fat fine for her Maltipoo Daisy.

Better With Two (Or More)

January 15, 2009 at 8:45 AM | 0 Comments

You don't have to go it alone! Celebrities took their families, old and new, on the road this week. Pop star Taylor Swift arrived back in Los Angeles after her record-breaking turn on "Saturday Night Live"--she's the youngest musical guest ever to appear on the show--with her mom, who celebrated her birthday while they were in New York City. Two days after the Golden Globes, celeb mom Salma Hayek arrived early at LAX to take her daughter Valentina to Paris, where her father lives.

Sure, even with the nanny it can be a lot to handle: Liev Schreiber let the nanny carry son Alexander as he and Naomi Watts struggled with the bags from taking Alex and baby Samuel with them on a trip to LA. And Victoria Beckham, who we saw being a tourist over the weekend, took her three kids to Leonardo Da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport to fly back to Britain.

But the best companion can be someone who's just joining your family: Brody Jenner and girlfriend Jayde Nicole walked arm in arm at LAX, while Fergie and Josh Duhamel were taking off for their honeymoon, reportedly for the Bahamas. Have fun, newlyweds!

Smile, The Paparazzi Are Watching

January 8, 2009 at 8:46 AM | 0 Comments

Into every trip, a little rain must fall. There's nothing to do but grin and bare it, whether you are a surprisingly placid Paris Hilton in line at Sydney's Kingsford Smith International Airport or Neil Patrick Harris spreading good cheer at LAX. Sure, you could make a Kate Moss stankface when you get wanded at security, but what good will that do?

Cameron Diaz and "Grey's Anatomy"'s T.R. Knight were loaded down with bags, but Jessica Simpson and her pet football player Tony Romo looked lighter than air--even though his team, the one she supposedly jinxed, is out of the playoffs.

Everything's Coming Up Whitney

January 2, 2009 at 11:00 AM | 0 Comments

Ooh la la! Whitney Port paired a Longchamp with a hoodie at LAX on Tuesday. A little vacation from your new job already? Must be swell!

Whether or not you watched the premiere of Whitney's show "The City," MTV will be keeping it since it instantly drew almost the entire audience who would normally watch "The Hills." Does this mean Port will get mobbed in more airports? She probably hopes not.

We're still pinning more of our hopes on Brody Jenner's "Bromance" for Monday night entertainment.

2008's Best Airport Photo Shoot Is...

December 31, 2008 at 9:05 AM | 0 Comments

They may have arrived officially on the small screen in 2007, but 2008 was the year we became officially obsessed with the hot young cast of "Gossip Girl." We followed them around the city, spied on them over the summer and, two weeks ago, bid farewell to a supporting character.

But as overexposed as they are, the "Gossip" girls and guys (yes, even slutty Ed) have managed to hold on to a little mystique, which is what makes this snap of Lively, Crawford and Badgley our favorite Airport Photo Shoot of 2008.

The earnest dishevelment of the players makes us believe that, unlike your Paris Hiltons or Lindsay Lohans, these cast members still aren't used to having their pictures taken in public. None of your Speidi-style cheesy composition, just a bunch of fresh-faced kids getting their own carry-ons out of the trunk. (Not to mention that whenever they travel together, they perpetuate the myth that making the show is as fun as watching it.)

"Gossip Girl" returns January 5, 2009. We can't wait.
