JOHN GOODMAN PUT AA FLIGHT ATTENDANTS TO SHAME
Prolific actor and Roseanne star John Goodman always SEEMED like a super-nice guy but now we have PROOF. We were told about a family traveling from Dallas to London and they were upgraded to first class. The mom sat with her toddler on her lap and her seat-mate happened to be JOHN GOODMAN! Five minutes before take-off the little boy started projectile vomiting in all directions! He got the mom, the seats, her luggage and everybody’s clothing! The American Airlines fight attendants backed off and refused to deal with the situation while while John goodnaturedly jumped up and ran back and forth from the bathroom with paper towels to wipe everybody off. (Including himself – luckily he was already dressed in the airline pajamas) His thoughtful wife Annabeth even kindly offered the mom clean clothing out of her own suitcase. The distraught mother apologized profusely. The plane stopped and the AA cleanup crew escorted the family off the plane. They all remember John Goodman as a HERO in the crisis and the toddler even recognized his voice from Monsters Inc.

We covered the Emmy nominations at 5 AM at the TV Academy with our film crew for Super Drama TV in Japan. They were particularly delighted when Japanese actor Masi Oka was nominated for Heroes. Later that day we were all having lunch at Marino’s in Larchmont Village, and who walked into the restaurant but THREE Heroes! Masi Oka, who plays Hiro, Jack Coleman, who plays Mr Bennet, and Zachary Quinto, who plays Sylar. It was nice to see that the three actors are good friends. The Japanese film crew waited patiently for Masi to finish eating because they hoped to get an on-camera comment from him about his nomination. Before Masi could even say “Thanks, I’m happy to be nominated” he insisted on calling his publicist for PERMISSION to speak – which he didn’t get. Masi was nice but why do actors let themselves be bossed around like that? His fans in Japan would have loved to see him.
