Airport Photo Shoot: May I Borrow Your Shirt, Kind Sir?

Maybe Selena Gomez spilled something on herself on the plane, which is why she tumbled off her flight at LAX looking rather bored and enveloped in a large white T-shirt, unmarked by on-board soda. She looks rather bored with LAX in general; maybe she expected the club?

In case you're behind on what the kids are up to, Selena Gomez is the Disney Channel's new model of Miley Cyrus. This wholesome teen entertainer, a former child actor on "Barney and Friends," plays a teen witch on the "Wizards of Waverly Place."

Airport Photo Shoot: Sienna Miller's Ready to Fly American

Carry-on, schmarry-on. Sienna Miller waltzed off a plane at LAX with the most miniscule of bags. Is that a camera tote hanging around her? Now there's a woman for whom the recent spate of bag-checking fees won't be a problem at all. She didn't even pack a sweater!

If Sienna truly is a one-bag wonder, she'll be glad as she crosses the globe in support of her new period piece "The Edge of Love" (costarring Keira Knightley and Cillian Murphy) which just opened the Edinburgh Film Festival. Miller reportedly is moving to Los Angeles permanently after a nasty break-up made being in London--and close to ex Rhys Ifans--difficult.

Celeb Travel: Jake Gyllenhaal Flies Virgin Atlantic

6/24/2008 at 8:45 AM
Tags: , , , , (all tags)

One of our good tipsters spotted Jaunted fave and soon to be star of the live-action "Prince of Persia" adaptation Jake Gyllenhaal on a flight from LAX to Heathrow this weekend. Our spy could have patted the "Jarhead" and "Brokeback Mountain" actor on the head, but refrained:

He kept a hoodie up the whole flight. It appeared to be hiding long hair for the Princely role. He also desperately needed to buy and use a touché éclat from duty free.

Then again, maybe he's just flying to get closer to the space travel! Hopefully when he earns a seat on Virgin Galactic, he'll take his trusty backpack with him (shown here in a 2007 photo, and also by his side this weekend).

Seen a star on your flight? Won't you whisper in our ear?

Airport Photo Shoot: And I Am Telling You Wear Lots Of Layers

Jennifer Hudson hit LAX recently, but not with a $5,000 Louis Vuitton like the kind her character has in the "Sex and the City" movie. No, the former "American Idol" star sports a backpack along with her minidress, short hoodie and leggings. Hey, if you're only packing one bag, a backpack could be your best option--even if it isn't the most stylish.

Is that a paper ticket in her hand? Nah, probably just a boarding pass. The death of the paper ticket is supposed to save airlines over $3 billion each year according to USA Today, but of course that means we'll be buying that many more printer cartridges.

Airport Photo Shoot: Tisdale's Travels

Jaunty hat? Check! Rolling bag and chic carry-on? Check! Lap dog? Rapidly escaping the grasp of "High School Musical" star Ashley Tisdale as she landed at LAX this weekend.

Unlike the two films before it, "High School Musical: Senior Year" will be completely inescapable when it hits theaters in October. (Could this be the first-ever instance of a movie going from TV to the big screen, and not the other way around?)

That suitcase is going to look plenty beat up by the time Tisdale, who plays bad girl Sharpay, is finished promoting Disney's tween juggernaut.

Airport Photo Shoot: Two Lovers, One Carry-on

The couple who packs together, stays together? Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, the celebrity newlyweds HotelChatter called "destined to be divorced," recently boarded a flight to Japan from LAX.

Note Nick's military-style backpack and Mariah's lack of any carry-on at all. Maybe one of the bodyguards at left is holding it?

Three weeks after getting hitched in the Bahamas, Carey and Cannon are still together; he's tagging along on her tour stops. Will they make it to Labor Day? Place your bets!

Sienna Miller Uses Carry-on as Weapon

There are a lot of dangerous things you can no longer take aboard airplanes--knives, box cutters, full-size bottles of shampoo--but there's no edict against packing a really, really heavy carry-on bag. So when Sienna Miller caught some paparazzi chasing after her at LAX, she did the first thing she could think of: She swung at them with her pink Marc Jacobs bag. Yes, really.

According to witnesses, she did hit a guy but didn't injure him, making enough of a stir for airport security to step in. But we predict the $1,295 bag will become the next It accessory for aggressive celebs, because growing Hulk muscles is hell on designer clothes.

Got Time to Kill on a Sunday Near LAX This Summer?

Where: 6101 W. Century Blvd [map], Los Angeles, CA, United States, 90045

Then you might be interested in heading on over to the Sheraton Gateway LAX Hotel. The hotel is kicking off JetSet Sundays on May 25, a weekly poolside event that will last through the summer.

The hotel's executive chef has put together an exotic sort of menu with Brazilian steak sandwiches and grilled eggplants with sesame and soy, so don't come looking for your standby faves of hot dogs and burgers. (There won't be any bocce bellas there, either.)

However, there will be a Good Humor truck serving ice cream bars and cones. And don't forget about the drinks. Since the hotel is located near the airport, drinks are airline-inspired...
