Airport Celeb Stories - Khloe Kardashian & Kevin Smith

So, it is not just Josh Duhamel that seems to be making news in the airports or on planes, a couple of other celebs got into the act this week. For some reason I still do not understand, Khloe Kardashian was on George Lopez last night. Explain to me why. Her show is over. The new season does not have her on it much so why was she cluttering up my television? George could not find any other human being who was more worthy? Seriously George? Maybe he is just hoping Khloe will introduce him to some women now that his wife left him after all those hookers.

Anyway, Khloe compared a recent trip through airport security as rape. Really? You got groped by a TSA guy because you did not want to go through a body scan. I understand that female was in your personal space, but it seems to me that by comparing it to rape you are minimizing the horror of an actual rape. If you don't want to get groped by a woman then go through the scanner or don't fly.

I have been groped once just to see what it is like. Is it fun? No. But, what choice do I give them if I say no to a body scan? I don't mind the body scans. I would rather do that then go back and forth through the metal detector five times removing more and more clothing each time.

Meanwhile, Kevin Smith complained on his blog about being denied boarding on Virgin America. It seems that the rest of the plane was ready to go, but Kevin and his wife were not. They wanted the plane to wait for them. It didn't. So, Kevin threw a hissy fit because the plane had shut its door and would not let him on. He says that he was more upset they would not remove his bags to get his wife's medication. OK, two things. Usually a plane will not fly with bags that are not with a person on the plane. If for some reason they did, then why would the airline delay the flight longer to remove his bags and if the medication is so important why was his wife checking it anyway? Has he never lost a bag?

Kevin said Virgin kissed his ass and gave him new tickets to use and an apology. I think they should have told him that he and his wife can't make an entire plane full of people wait for them to deign themselves ready to fly.
