Oct 21st, 2010 at 9:30AM: Tom Cruise.
It's not often I get to start a Galley Gossip post with that name! But that's the name several readers mentioned after I asked if they could guess which celebrity passenger offered to assist an unconscious woman with his "special powers" on the airplane. Honest to God, I wouldn't joke about something as serious as this!
It's interesting to note that Gary Busey, Depak Chopra, Uri ...Learn the local celebrities - International travel tip
Aug 6th, 2010 at 1:35PM: If you're going overseas, especially for a longer trip like with studying abroad, a good way to ease the culture shock is to study up on the names in the news.
Every country has their own TV, movie, sports and political stars, and that's who people will be talking about. If you want to be able to keep up with the local chatter, do a little studying before you leave so that you know who's making ...'Tombstone Tourism' on the rise, allows you to get close to your favorite celebs
Aug 3rd, 2010 at 12:04PM: Strapped for vacation cash? Spend a day with the dead. "Tombstone tourism" is on the rise. See fabulous artwork, enjoy nature and get within six feet of some of your favorite celebrities. Better yet, admission is always free. It's a grave-cation!
Did you know that before Disneyland opened in 1955, Forest Lawn Memorial Park cemetery in Glendale was the number one tourist destination in the Los ...Photo of the day (7.29.10)
Jul 29th, 2010 at 5:00PM:
Some of the best travel photos tell a story or capture a stranger in a private moment. This candid portrait of a woman in Tel Aviv, Israel reading in a window by Flavio@Flickr does both beautifully. What is she so absorbed in reading? It could be an alarming news story or a love poem, or she could just be catching up on the latest Lindsay Lohan antics. At any rate, her image tells an ...Joan Collins excess baggage bill: $4,966 for $180,000 in luxury bags
Apr 20th, 2010 at 11:30AM: While you visit Gadling and read my rant about $45 carry-on bag fees, other air passengers are having having fun turning excess baggage into a challenge - not a complaint.
Take for example Joan Collins - Because she travels a lot between London and the United States, she says she feels "compelled to travel like a packhorse".
And she isn't kidding either - each trip involves a professional ...Lindsay Lohan rescues child laborers in India...or not
Dec 15th, 2009 at 4:30PM: Looks like miss Lindsay Lohan has gone on a little "liecation" recently.
The actress/singer/celebrity trainwreck posted a message on Twitter that made it sound like she personally took part in a raid that saved child laborers in India while there filming a documentary for the BBC. "Over 40 children saved so far...Within one day's work...This is what life is about...Doing THIS is a life worth ...Party with Hef at the Playboy Mansion for Halloween

If haunted houses, ghost hunts, cemetery tours, zombie pub crawls and other usual Halloween attractions just aren't sexy enough to make your holiday complete, if you want more girls and less gore, and if you've got $1000 to drop, make plans now to attend the ...Randy Quaid (allegedly) stiffs hotel for $10K
Sep 27th, 2009 at 10:00AM:
Actor Randy Quaid and his wife, former model Evi, got out of jail Thursday night. They landed in the Texas pokey because of a $10,000 hotel bill they didn't pay in California. Each is out on $20,000 bail. They were arrested in Marfa, 160 miles southeast of El Paso.
Authorities in Santa Barbara, California issued a felony warrant – burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy ...Take a star-studded vacation the sneaky way
Aug 3rd, 2009 at 3:00PM: On Location Vacations is a website which tells you where the movies are shooting -- like, exactly. People from crew members to extras to locals send in tips to the site to give you the locations of on-location movies, TV sets, and more. The tab Daily Filming Locations is very well kept-up and features a detailed list of filming locations every weekday, as well as upcoming shoots they know about ...Galley Gossip: Celebrities on the plane game
Mar 30th, 2009 at 9:30AM:
I see celebrities all the time on the airplane. In fact, on my last flight one of the Real Housewives of New York City (the one who is not exactly a housewife) slept all the way from New York to Los Angeles. The first thing I noticed was the cutest eye mask I've ever seen. It practically covered her entire face. When she woke up and came to the back galley for a glass of water, I couldn't help ...Become a world famous traveler
Mar 9th, 2009 at 9:00AM: Want to be a famous traveler? Gadling fave Christopher Elliott wrote "How to be a Youtube travel star," which explains how you can turn your vacation videos into internet acclaim, but there are more ways to publicize your excursions. Several websites have popped up to help travel reporters connect with sources. Yes, we need you to help us write the stories you read. By helping us, you can become a ...Lively-est brunch in Manhattan
Feb 8th, 2009 at 12:00PM: In New York, brunch is more than just a meal. For most, it's that one chance to indulge, regardless of tax bracket. You find an upscale restaurant, sip a champagne cocktail and order dishes you could never prepare on your own. Most important, you work hard to seem nonchalant, as if you live this way every day. Of course, if you're visiting the city, you also want at least one celebrity sighting. ...Celebrity Hookup Hotels
Jan 15th, 2009 at 12:30PM: Celebrities, they're just like us: they go to hotel bars to hook up. The question, of course, is which hotels, so we can watch them and take cell phone pictures. Well, MSNBC has decided to feed your obsession by publishing a list of known celeb hangouts called Busted! Hotels where celebs go to hook up. On the list? The Soho Grand (right) The Beverly Hills Hotel The Palms Casino Resort and more. ...Winona Ryder gets a British Airways airplane priority landing status. Could you?
Nov 21st, 2008 at 12:00PM: Two days ago, Winona Ryder's British Airways flight to Heathrow airport was granted priority landing status after Ryder became sick on the plane. Jaunted's blurb doesn't say how she got ill. One wonders was it the food? Is this normal for her? What about me or you? Could we get special treatment? Could we get a plane to land before all the others?
I was on a flight once when the plane turned ...Paul Newman, a tribute and movie locations
Sep 27th, 2008 at 2:00PM: Paul Newman died yesterday. Besides feeling sad that someone I've admired from my teenage years up until now is no longer going to grace us with his physical presence, I've thought about several of the scenes from his movies that can be visited and other places that I know that have a Paul Newman connection.
The last Paul Newman connection I made was two weeks ago when I went to the Wyandot ...Jamie Lynn, Britany, Kanye: Celebrities at Los Angeles airport create problems for the rest of us
Sep 13th, 2008 at 10:30AM: Let's say you've arrived at LAX airport and you happen to look, kind of, like Jamie Lynne Spears, and it--kind of, looks like you are carrying a baby. From this LA Times article's account, you'd be surrounded by some paparazzi in a wild flurry as they snapped your picture hoping to sell it to TMZ, Perez Hilton, or some other celeb loving publication.
That's what happened Wednesday night when ...Martha Stewart turned back by UK immigration
Jun 20th, 2008 at 2:30PM: Looks like even celebrities aren't allowed to bend immigration rules. Martha Stewart, who was due in the UK later this week for business meetings and other codgery, was just denied a visa by the United Kingdom because of her criminal record. As you probably recall, the American business woman recently spent five months locked up for shady stock and business dealings. UK immigration law ...Disneyland, a place to see stars
Feb 25th, 2008 at 4:20PM: Last week, somewhere, I saw a picture of Harrison Ford with his daughter on a ride at Disneyland. Turns out, according to Marla Matzer Rose who details in an article where to see stars in Los Angeles, Disneyland is a place to keep your eyes open. Here's a shot of Diane Keaton taken two years ago. Interestingly, the only celebrity I've seen in Los Angeles when I've gone there over the years is ...How to live like Matthew McConaughey
Jan 12th, 2008 at 12:00PM: Living like Matthew McConaughey may involve taking your shirt off, as Matt Damon says in his hilarious impression of the often shirtless star while Damon was a guest on David Letterman. (Here is the YouTube video. It explains why I chose the photo I did.)
Another way that is less dramatic, perhaps, is by living with a family overseas. McConaughey was an exchange student to Australia in 1988 and ...
