A spokeswoman for CityJet, the Dublin-based airline that operated the flight, confirmed that such an incident had taken place. But spokeswoman Karen Gillo said yesterday that privacy issues prevented her from naming the passenger, who was escorted off the plane along with his two traveling companions and their luggage.
It's good to know that in these days of heightened security if you pee on a plane, you're protected.
Depardieu said he tried to whiz in a bottle but lacked complete accuracy. So please remember that at least until takeoff:
If you sprinkle / when you tinkle / please be neat / and wipe your aisle seat.
Clothes call
Abercrombie & Fitch has a Situation - and it doesn't want one.
The hipster clothier wants the "Jersey Shore" cast mate and his fellow annoyances to stop wearing clothes carrying their brand.
They're willing to pay them to stop.
The teen retailer said it would pay a "substantial payment" to Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino or any cast member who stops wearing its clothing on the popular MTV faux-reality show because the series is "contrary to the aspirational nature of the brand."
"We are deeply concerned that Mr. Sorrentino's association with our brand could cause significant damage to our image," the retailer said in a press release.
A&F CEO Mike Jeffries said the offer to pay cast members came about when someone alerted him Sorrentino was wearing Abercrombie & Fitch on the show.
Abercrombie has not disclosed the offering price. But Jeffries struck a light tone about the offer.
"We are having a lot of fun with it," he said in a conference call with stock analysts yesterday.
MTV called the move a "clever PR stunt" by Abercrombie. "We'd love to work with them on other ways they can leverage 'Jersey Shore' to reach the largest youth audience on television," the network said in a statement.
Top-10-threat list
A frequent contributor to a jihadist website has threatened David Letterman, urging Muslim followers to "cut the tongue of this lowly Jew and shut it forever" because of a joke he made.
The SITE Monitoring Service, a private intelligence organization that watches online activity, said yesterday that the threat was posted a day earlier on the Shumuka al-Islam forum, a popular Internet destination for radical Muslims.
Letterman, by the way, isn't Jewish.
