Joshua Jackson and his long-time partner Diane Kruger at SLC on this past Tuesday night. They were heading home after Sundance and skiing. I never would have recognized either one (I'd never heard of her), but the oh-so-discreet TSA agents at security were ogling them.
I later saw them in the SkyClub before they flew off to LAX. They were quite cuddly:

It looks like Zach Braff is on your flight as well:

DL 1104 HNL-SLC in F two weeks ago...Jimmy Walker and his family. My dad had been at the Sony earlier and watched him play (and win)! Our family was split up in rows 1 and 5, and he and his family say across from me (5C) in 4AB and 5AB. They were also checking in at the same time we were so my dad who is a PGA member chatted with him a bit. Nice family, and their two young children were well behaved. Mom looked exhausted though when we deplaned in SLC.

You suggested earlier that Wilson Phillips didn't "have the ego to fly FC," implying that doing so would require a heightened sense of self-importance, or something. I would call an insistence on first class a minimum expectation of comfort that has little to do with self perception.

That's not to say they are all that way. In fact, I ended up talking with the Wilson Phillips girls in the gate area after they announced that our flight was briefly delayed to security sweep our plane. They were very friendly, even took a few pictures with fans. Their band mates who I presume are from New Zealand or Australia joked with one fan that she probably never thought she'd meet Men at Work at the airport...nice, down to earth folks. I just presumed that they would probably be in F and was surprised to see them sitting in the back of the bus.

...Flying as much as I do between ATL and LAX (as well as JFK), celebs go with the territory. Over the years, I have watched celebs pitch a fit over not being in F. One of the worst was a few years back when a certain celebrity bought a Y ticket but had (apparently) always been upgraded because of her celebrity status. When the GA told her she didn't have a seat for her and there was no UG policy for celebrities so she would need to take her seat in Y, she went ballistic, they had to call security to the gate and ultimately removed her from the flight altogether...
