LOL

I had already boarded and didn't notice her until she took her seat.

Besides, I only had one and there's no way she would get it :D

nah. I think I was the only one who recognized her, actually. As a side note, she seemed down to earth with the pax in her row.

Finally I get a chance to post on this thread... sat across the aisle from Nelly Furtado this afternoon on a flight to LGA. She was on her way to prep for her SNL appearance this weekend. She was pestered from takeoff to landing by an extremely obnoxious fellow pax but she took it in stride and maintained her very Canadian composure long after I wanted to throttle the woman in question. I am pleased to report she is just as attractive in person (perhaps more so) than on TV.

I remembered she dumped him at the same time she crossed the floor to join the Liberal party. Because he was a high-ranking official in that party the reporters hounded him for comments and he looked visibly upset (after a night of crying or something) which looked like really bad exhaustion, and then everyone knew.

Yes, cross the floor and dump your boyfriend of the "opposition" in the same period of time :S

I've heard that she's quite a brat, so good to know she's grown up.

Those two allowed to fly together? I would have thought that "in the interest of national security and stability" that they would have to take seperate flights ;)

YQQgirl May 25, 2006 10:30 am

Sen. Larry Campbell, former mayor of Vancouver in the YVR MLL and on a YVR-YOW flight (seat 1A no less ;))

Brian Mulroney sitting in 2A on an Embraer 175 from YUL to ORD last Wednesday, May 17. Seemed like a friendly enough guy, but I didn't bother him :-)

I like BM the PM, and so am sad -- I was going to be on that flight (in 2D iirc) but my plans changed and I stayed in YUL :(

While this may not be a Canadian celebrity sighting, since it was on AC I thought it worthy of passing on. A few days ago on my YEG-YVR connector to fly downunder, a famous Aussie rick band INXS was sitting in bus. class! Nice guys as at baggage carousel, I asked for all autographs as they were a fave band a while back. They mentioned were continuing the tour in N. America, but didn't comment on the AC service.

Cheers from SYD!

Derek Jun 6, 2006 9:47 am

Former Ontario Premier Bill Davis was my seatmate in J YUL-YYZ. A very nice man, though a bit of a name dropper.

Ford Prefect Jun 9, 2006 7:12 pm

I beg to differ Sir!

Hey in my book, doing anything with Catherine Zeta-Jones anywhere on any airline would be a first class experience. J-seat be damned!

There was a great Jon Lovitz line on Overheard in New York a few weeks ago:

Guy in street: Hey, are you Jon Lovitz?
Lovitz: Jealous?

Sidney Crosby sitting in 1D and his parents in 2D&F on AC184 between YVR and YYC today. They were continuing on to Halifax after the NHL awards in Vancouver the night before.

I was sitting in 2C. He seemed pretty tired and slept most of the way. Tempted to bother him for an autograph, but then did the Canadian thing and just nodded as I walked by :p

Paris Hilton at YYZ T2 INS last week, post-MMVAs. Strangely, whatever your opinion of her, seeing her in person will almost certainly confirm it.
