Lindsay Lohan Stirs Trouble On Super Bowl Flight

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,486530,00.html

Lindsay Lohan's frame isn't the only thing that's fading — it seems her star status is too.

The 22-year-old caused chaos while departing on a Delta Flight from Tampa, Fla. on Saturday morning when the airline was unable to provide her with a first-class seat on the already overbooked flight. According to an insider, passengers laughed as the starlet acted incredibly entitled (and embarrassed), stomped around and warned a friend traveling with her: "you'd better come and visit me back there in case I die."

But fortunately for Linds, she didn't have to suffer the life-threatening ill of business or economy class as she was eventually moved into first following her entertaining tantrum. Phew.

If one of use plebeians had behaved this way, we would have been hauled away for interfering with a flight crew.

Methinks one might easily replace the word 'starlet' with 'PM,' and see this scene recreated any number of times at ATL alone.

Thanks for posting, OP. Very funny. Again, I have to wonder (as I did in the celebrity sighting thread) why is she flying commercial in the first place??

How much do you want to bet she was on the TPA-LAX direct and paid for F but missed that flight and went via ATL (or vice/versa).

Maybe a Medallion member offered to get bumped to let her in (and cash out, too!)

I'd really like to know if anyone was compensated. I suppose being a brat works for some.

isn't someone going to point out the article erroneously refers to three-class service on a Delta flight? i'm disturbed that i felt the need to mention it myself ...

Ha ha, sweet. I guess I'll just have to pull a "Lindsay" next time I do the GM walk of shame to the back of the bus.
