Alec Baldwin

So, what happened? The 30 Rock star was kicked off an American Airlines flight for playing the game, Words With Friends, after having been asked by the attendant to switch off his phone.

And what was his excuse? Alec doesn't think you should need to turn off your phone when the plane is stationary, tweeting from onboard, "Flight attendant on American reamed me out 4 playing WORDS W FRIENDS while we sat at the gate, not moving."

Is the attendant on danger money?! It's okay, Alec didn't call them a "thoughtless little pig", but he did use the power of Twitter to snipe, "Last flight with American. Where retired Catholic school gym teachers from the 1950's find jobs as flight attendants."

He's not sorry then? Not if you consider posing as a pilot on SNL and saying, "Would you really get on an airplane that flies 30,000 feet in the air if you thought one Kindle switch would bring it down? C'mon!" 

Josh Duhamel

So, what happened? Josh was escorted off a flight at JFK airport, after reportedly being asked by an attendant three times to turn off his Blackberry - he didn't.

And what was his excuse? The Transformers' star's rep said that Josh was texting a friend about the flight being delayed. Not sure if he mentioned it was being delayed because of him…

He's gorgeous! He couldn't have schmoozed his way out of it? Apparently not. And a passenger said he was "very rude" to flight staff.

He's not sorry then? Actually he was. Or his rep was on his behalf. "He's sorry," said his spokespiece. Heartfelt, then. 

Naomi Campbell

So, what happened? After having been told that her bags weren't on her flight, the supermodel kicked off at Heathrow.

Well, that is kind of annoying? Spitting-at-the-cops-who-come-to-escort-you-off-the-plane annoying?

Maybe not that annoying. "The aircrew had to call police. She threw a few things around the cabin and then spat at the cops," said a source.

Typical Naomi hater! "They tried to calm her but she lashed out at the cops," confirmed an officer. "The last straw was spitting."

Oh…
