Hence, the "Mitt"...

On another note, all the time I spend in SCs and I never see any celebrities... what's up with this?[/QUOTE]


Andrew Zimmerman, star of the Travel Channel's "Bizarre Foods" show, was in the MSP SkyClub last Friday, May 6th. It was early, maybe 7:30 AM local. He was friendly to all.

Just hang out in the LAX SC. There is usually somebody you recognize there if you stay long enough.

True. And many times you'll find someone parading around endlessly waiting for someone to recognize them...

From a WSJ article a few days ago:

American Solutions helps pay Mr. Gingrich's travel expenses, including the at least 80 trips he took last year to more than 30 states, often at great expense. Campaign-finance records show the group spent more than $3.6 million on travel between 2009 and 2010, nearly all of it chartering private jets to take Mr. Gingrich from city to city.

Mr. Romney, too, crisscrossed the country, visiting 32 states on behalf of various candidates. But records show that he and his staff generally flew commercial and spent $273,110 on airfare and other travel expenses during the same period.

Hopefully you didn't call him Mr. Zimmerman, as his name is actually Zimmern.

LAX & JFK SC are good celeb spotting venues, ofcourse its not a guarantee you will recognize majority of the folks as they range from A-list types to international singers/actors and my beloved D-listers and reality show types...


Easter weekend
Hugh Jackman - i think he was on the delayed Sydney flight. he was probably about 4hrs early for his flight ^...he was seated facing the sliding doors, SC was kinda empty...was Wolverine tryna get noticed badly or something???

Chaka Khan - stood behind her and escort at the LAX-ATL red-eye gate, i could barely see as her HUGE HAIR was in my way ....She spoke out loud - "why hasnt FC started boarding??? ofcourse the Agent heard and quickly apologized for the delay.
...i must add she is quite the DIVA, as her escort scanned her boarding pass and carried her bag, despite the fact he wasnt travelling. how lazy can some1 be......oh well, thats why she is a celeb and I aint

Kelly Cutrone @ the JFK SC earlier this year. she is known as the Reality TV B*tch from hell. she had her own Bravo Show reality show and she was the Queen B on MTV's "The Hills" & "The City"....she is soo much nicer and very calm. She runs Peoples Revolution - a successful fashion PR and brand marketing company in LA/NYC.

At LAX the guys (and gals) I run into (literally) all the time at the bottom of the escalator is TMZ. They are always staked out there. They even hang out on the shuttle bus island.

That would kind of make sense, since ATL is still the world headquarters and main broadcasting studios for CNN, however, Wolf Blitzer never rides escalaters, he only rides escalators!

Twice I have seen that little weasel move around a security line... how the hell does he get to do that? Last time I saw him slipping by, I swear I heard the Lollypop Guild song....
