After The L-Word actress Leisha Hailey was kicked off a Southwest flight for kissing her girlfriend on the runway yesterday, she called for a boycott of the airline whose company slogan is “A Symbol of Freedom.”
PR reps for Southwest responded quickly, saying there is no truth to the story. In fact, Southwest VP of Marketing Markus Goerg told OMGG.com that “the airline has always encouraged hot, lesbo action.”
To be certain they aren’t viewed as homophobic, however, Southwest announced they are introducing the first ever Lesbian Only flight starting October 1st. For just $99, passengers will receive a flannel shirt and one way ticket to Las Vegas.
“For the record, Southwest Airlines encourages PDA on all of our flights,” said Georg. “In fact, I’ve personally installed webcams on each plane just in case any girl-on-girl action breaks out in the future.”

After hearing Fox blew $20 million on the pilot episode of their sci-fi show Terra Nova, I couldn’t wait to check out the two-hour premiere last night.
The show centers on the Shannon family, who go back in time as part of a last ditch effort to stop the human race from destroying the environment.
I sincerely wish I could travel back in time to get those two hours of my life back, as the plot was garbage and the “scary” dinosaur I’d read so much about was nothing more than Jurassic Park actor Jeff Goldblum dressed in giant T-Rex costume.
So how exactly did they manage to spend $20 million making what looked like a high school student film project? I was able to procure a budget breakdown from an old buddy who works in the Fox mailroom:
- $1 million: Cast and crew salaries
- $200: Snacks for interns who wrote the show
- $7000: Wardrobe for cast
- $640: 27 latex dinosaur costumes from Walmart
- $100: Permit to film on the old Lost set
- $18.9 million: Getting Steven Spielberg to agree to attach his name to this flaming turd
The Bottom Line: I can’t deny the show was entertaining, assuming you enjoy bad writing and over-dramatic acting.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Earlier today, Paris Hilton made headlines when she stopped her SUV on a busy Mumbai street corner and handed a beggar $100 out the window.
Unfortunately, Hilton’s philanthropic spirit was short-lived, as OMGG.com paparazzi were there moments later when she approached the woman’s 4-year old son and asked for $99 change.
“I wanted to help the woman get her family something to eat by giving her a buck, but I didn’t have any small bills,” explained the celebrity socialite. “I’m not giving $100 away to some lady I don’t know. I may be rich, but I’m not stupid.”
Hilton, who’s in India launching the exclusive PH handbag line, spent last night handing kids in poverty-stricken areas coupons good for up to 20% off any PH purse. While the vouchers are said to have a retail value of over $40, several children were seen eating theirs.

Desperate to play this season, Peyton Manning flew to Thailand last night to be fitted for a set of custom neck rings.
The spiral metal coils are typically worn by Asian and African women to strengthen and elongate the neck muscles, but after three failed surgeries, Manning was willing to try anything.
“After last night’s loss to the Steelers, we’re 0-3,” said Manning. “Watching Kerry Collins lead the Colts is sadder than one of those Sarah McLachlan dog rescue commercials.”
Manning, who has grown four inches since the rings have been added, now stands at 6’9″. He told OMGG.com that he’s been contacted by the GM of the Indiana Pacers, who’d like him to try out for the team should he decide a return to the NFL is too risky.
