Australian Flight Attendant Reminds Cabin to Flush Drugs Down Toilet

Such announcements are routine, but this employee's words were "poorly chosen," Australian airline Jetstar said

Australia’s reputation as a haven perennially secure from terrorist threats may have come into question recently, but it seems that air travel in the country is still a pretty lax affair.

The Daily Telegraph, a Sydney newspaper, reports that a flight attendant on domestic airline Jetstar kindly reminded passengers aboard a Sydney-bound flight to flush their drugs and other contraband down the aircraft toilet prior to landing. There were, she said, “sniffer dogs and quarantine officers” waiting in the domestic terminal.

The trailer for Fifty Shades of Grey hit last week and made quite the impact almost immediately. It would seem that people can’t wait to watch their hypersexed fan fiction version of Twilight on the big screen.

Philip Seymour Hoffman, Julianne Moore, Donald Sutherland and Jennifer Lawrence star in a new one-minute teaser for the third film in the ‘Hunger Games’ franchise.

"Hunger Games" fans at Comic-Con 2014 were treated to the first look at the "Mockingjay - Part 1" teaser trailer Friday, but now everyone else can enjoy the one-minute clip online.

James Brown was all about the groove, but the film of his life never finds its own.

What is "Get On Up" trying to be? A Southern memory play, full of melancholy ghosts? A hip, break-the-fourth-wall piece of irony, with Brown talking to us, directly? A straightforward bio with music?

Yes, and yes and yes.

And no.

The picture has Brown's incredible songs, and several good performances (several more, in fact, than "Jersey Boys," a film about a very different kind of music, but with a similar fondness for now-listen-up addresses to the camera).

Orlando Bloom Scuffles with Justin Bieber - Watch More Celebrity Videos or Subscribe

You know those fights in baseball where everyone rushes out onto the field and then just sorta gives each other dirty looks for a little while?

Well, here's one that might be even lamer -- the supposed fight between Orlando Bloom and Justin Bieber that went viral Tuesday night.

TMZ, which posted the video, says the "what's up bitch" you can (barely) hear at the beginning of the clip is Bieber yelling at Bloom, but that's about as exciting as it gets. Most of the footage shows guys standing around, with a little finger-pointing for good measure.

Beyoncé may already have one foot out the door — she’s been secretly shopping for new digs without Jay Z, sources told The Post.

The booty-ful belter looked at a $21.5 million Chelsea penthouse early last month — weeks after a videotaped elevator-smackdown involving Bey’s sister, Solange Knowles, and Jay, and amid growing rumors of an impending break-up, said sources close to the superstar couple.

Fueling the notion that Beyoncé is not shopping for the both of them is the fact that Jay Z has always been extremely involved in their real-estate deals, sources said.

Get ready to drown in stupidity.
But with a title like “Sharknado 2: The Second One,” you know what to expect: freak storms, sharks falling like raindrops — flailing, hungry raindrops — and a chainsaw.

The camp horror sequel to the 2013 social media sensation finds original cast members Ian Ziering and Tara Reid back as divorced couple Fin Shepard and April Wexler.

A year after Los Angeles was turned into chum, April has written a best-seller about the trauma, and the two are flying to the Big Apple on a book tour. But Fin is still grumpy. “Oh, yeah, I got eaten by a shark. How much fun do you think that was?”

Actor James Shigeta played the leading male role in the lavish movie musical "Flower Drum Song" in 1961. The year before, he won a Golden Globe as most promising newcomer.

But after "Flower Drum Song" he never again played the leading man in a major film.

"He was so handsome, debonair," said actor James Hong, who appeared in several films and TV shows with Shigeta. "But there was the stigma in Hollywood about Asian leading men."

Shigeta, 85, died Monday at an assisted-living facility in Beverly Hills. He had been in declining health since suffering a stroke about two years ago, said his sister-in-law, Ellie Shigeta.

The 21-year-old songstress reveals the hardest thing she's ever had to deal with is 'falling out of touch with my dad.'

Ariana Grande opens up about her relationship with her father in an interview with Seventeen magazine for its September issue. She also reveals how she overcomes her insecurities and how to deal with haters.

Things are not looking so “cowabunga” Down Under.

Less than two weeks before the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles premiere in the United States, a poster for the film’s Australian release is causing controversy. The image in question was tweeted from the @ParamountAU account to promote the film’s September 11 release date there:

Maksim Chmerkovskiy's Dancing with the Stars days are apparently over.

"I'm done dancing," Chmerkovskiy, 34, said during a Tuesday appearance on The View, according to Us Weekly. "I feel like it's time."

The pro dancer has reportedly said he wants Meryl Davis, his eighteenth-season Dancing with the Stars partner, to be the last celebrity he ever competes with on the show, especially since they were crowned champions and walked away with the coveted mirror-ball trophy.

The French news agency AFP said the stampede Tuesday at a beach in Conakry's Ratoma neighborhood left 24 people dead.

Signture or no signature, if Egan agreed to settle, it's case closed, attorney Marc J. Randazza told TheWrap

The Bryan Singer-Michael Egan sex abuse case took a bizarre turn Tuesday when alleged settlement documents from June were released in an explosive report.

The supposed memorandum of settlement, obtained by Buzzfeed, appeared legitimate at a glance to Las Vegas attorney Marc J. Randazza, who is uninvolved but familiar with the case and the formulaic California documentation.

Actress Hosts Screening for Simon Pegg's New Movie

EAST HAMPTON—When reduced to its basest idea, Gwyneth Paltrow's website Goop is all about the search for happiness, right? Whether it's through a trip to Missoula, Mont., with a $660 Isabel Marant striped blanket coat, or making spinach salad with spiced pecans, lamb bacon, Clemson blue cheese and bourbon vinaigrette.

But that's not the reason Ms. Paltrow hosted a screening of "Hector and the Search for Happiness" at the East Hampton Cinema on Monday night. The film's star Simon Pegg, who has appeared in such movies as "Shaun of the Dead," "Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol" and as Scotty in the recent "Star Trek" reboots, is the godfather to Apple, AAPL -0.65% Ms. Paltrow's daughter with Coldplay singer Chris Martin. (In turn, Mr. Martin is the godfather of Mr. Pegg's daughter, Matilda.)

One scene into "Guardians of the Galaxy," Chris Pratt's Peter Quill — thieving Ravager, self-styled Star Lord, and general galactic ne'er-do-well — walks into an alien treasurehouse.

He takes off his high-tech mask. Looks around. Pauses. And then, grooving to the tape on his carefully preserved Walkman, boogies down to that '70s guilty pleasure, "Come and Get Your Love."

And that's when we see what "Guardians of the Galaxy" is doing. And know that it knows exactly what it's doing.
