These are the Celebrities People Say They Absolutely Do Not Want to Be Stuck Next to on a Plane
We've all dreamed about bumping into a celebrity while flying—maybe sharing a row with Ryan Gosling or trading snacks with Beyoncé. But what about the other end of the spectrum?
A recent thread asked: 'Which celebrity would be the worst person to sit next to on a long flight?'
And oh boy, people did not hold back.
Here are some of the most unfiltered (and hilarious) responses.
1. Tom Hanks?
We weren't expecting America's Dad to make the list, but one person warned, 'Never travel with him.'
To be fair… they might have a point. Between Cast Away (plane crash and island survival), The Terminal (trapped in an airport), Sully (emergency water landing), and Captain Phillips (hijacked at sea), it's safe to say Tom Hanks has a rough track record when it comes to travel.
Honestly, if he boards your plane, you might want to get off.
2. Donald Trump
Several people immediately mentioned Trump, with one clarifying, 'I don't know any of them personally, but I'd feel uncomfortable sitting with Trump.' Fair enough.
3. Literally Any Kardashian
Apparently, there's no room for glam squads and contour palettes in coach. 'Anyone ever named Kardashian,' one commenter wrote. Harsh, but ok.
4. Will Ferrell
Comedic legend or in-flight nightmare? One commenter said simply, 'He'd get on my nerves!'
We love Elf as much as the next person, but I guess six hours of Buddy the Elf energy at 35,000 feet might just push someone over the edge. Maybe save the holiday cheer for after landing.
5. Pedro Pascal
This one feels like a personal attack. But hey, I guess not everyone wants to sit next to The Mandalorian for six hours? (They can switch seats with me!)
6. The Cast of
"Anyone on The View," one person said bluntly, and many others agreed. We'll just leave that there.
7. Tom Cruise
His name popped up more than once. Maybe it's the intensity? The stunts? The Scientology? Whatever the reason, several people said they'd rather not be trapped in a middle seat next to Mr. Mission: Impossible.
That said, if the plane suddenly needed an emergency landing and someone to sprint across the wing midair… he might actually be the best person to have nearby.
8. Kid Rock
One commenter guessed that Kid Rock might not exactly bring 'fresh linen energy' to the cabin.
To be fair, not everyone's ready for full rockstar vibes on a 6 a.m. flight.
9. The Rock
Not because of personality...just logistics. 'He's so big he wouldn't fit in an economy seat,' was one of the most popular answers. Respectfully, that's... kind of valid.
10. The Charmin Bears
Yes, the cartoon toilet paper mascots. 'Can't stand them,' one commenter confessed. But hey, at least they would have good toilet paper?
Not all celebrity encounters are nightmare fuel; some stars are beloved both on-screen and in the aisle seat. If you're curious who made the opposite list, check out these 12 celebrities everyone seems to adore. Or, for more brutally honest internet opinions, see which actors make people want to walk out of the theater entirely. Spoiler: no one is safe.

FTC sues ticket reseller for using bogus Ticketmaster accounts to evade Taylor Swift's Eras tour ticket limits
Federal Trade Commission sued ticket reseller Key Investment Group for evading purchasing limits to buy up thousands of tickets to live events including Taylor Swift's Eras tour and resell them at a markup, according to a complaint filed in Maryland federal court on Monday. The Baltimore, Md.-based company, which operates ticket resale sites including used thousands of Ticketmaster accounts, including fake or purchased accounts, the FTC said. Ticketmaster faced intense criticism after its botched 2022 sale of tickets to Swift's much-hyped New Eras Tour, when billions of requests from Swift fans, bots and ticket resellers overwhelmed its website and the company canceled a planned ticket sale to the general public. Ticket reseller Key Investment Group, which operates ticket resale sites including used thousands of Ticketmaster accounts, including fake or purchased accounts, the FTC said. AP For one Swift concert, Key Investment Group used 49 different accounts to purchase 273 tickets and evade a 6-ticket purchase limit, the FTC said on Monday. FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson said in a statement that the lawsuit puts ticket sellers on notice that the agency will go after those who circumvent ticketing platforms' limits on ticket sales. The lawsuit is part of a crackdown President Trump announced in March focused on curbing exploitative ticket reselling practices that raise costs for fans. Key Investment Group sued the FTC in July to block its investigation, saying that its ticket purchases did not use automated software, or bots, and did not violate the Better Online Ticket Sales (BOTS) Act. The lawsuit is part of a crackdown President Trump announced in March focused on curbing exploitative ticket reselling practices that raise costs for fans. AP The FTC has made it clear that 'they intend to use the BOTS Act to shut down the entire secondary-ticket market,' the company said in its lawsuit. The agency on Monday accused Key Investment Group and three of its executives of violating the BOTS Act as well as the FTC Act, which prohibits unfair and deceptive business practices. Ticketmaster and its parent company, Live Nation Entertainment, are facing a lawsuit brought by US antitrust enforcers accusing the company of monopolizing markets across the live concert industry.

MSNBC to change name to 'MS NOW' in Comcast spinoff deal
MSNBC is set to change its name as part of Comcast's spin-off from NBC Universal, which the company announced in late 2024, according to the Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Monday that the left-leaning network's new name will be "My Source News Opinion World," or MS NOW. CNBC, USA, Oxygen and E! are also included in the Comcast spin-off. CNBC is going to keep its name, according to the WSJ, but is working on a new logo. The move is part of the networks' attempt to separate themselves from NBC, the Journal reported. Cesar Conde will continue leading the NBCUniversal News Group, but now that group only includes NBC News, the NBC News Now streaming service, Telemundo and owned-and-operated local stations. Msnbc Staffers Lash Out At 'Morning Joe' Co-hosts Meeting With Trump: 'Disgusting But Frankly Unsurprising' Read On The Fox News App Msnbc's Revamped Lineup Flounders, Jen Psaki Sheds 47% Of Predecessors' Viewership NBC, Bravo and Peacock (NBC's streaming service) will remain under NBC Universal. "Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCSA) today announced its intent to create a new publicly traded company comprised of a strong portfolio of NBCUniversal's cable television networks, including USA Network, CNBC, MSNBC, Oxygen, E!, SYFY and Golf Channel along with complementary digital assets including Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes, GolfNow and Sports Engine, through a tax-free spin-off. The well-capitalized independent company ("SpinCo") will have significant scale as a pure-play set of assets anchored by leading news, sports and entertainment content," a November press release from Comcast read. Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture Mark Lazarus, who will serve as the head of the new company, Versant, told the WSJ that they hoped to mitigate "brand confusion" in the spin-off. Lazarus told the WSJ that MS NOW would still cater to a progressive audience and prioritize "holding the political figures from both parties to account." "Change requires flexibility, adaptability, and an open mind. This change is good for us," MSNBC's Senior vice president of communications, Richard Hudock wrote in a post on X. The network's morning show, "Morning Joe" also reacted to the news on Monday. "What I've said on this show time and time again is you look at the people that are running the company, they're entrepreneurial. Right, like when you have somebody come into your company after working for big corporations and you're talking, you're sitting there and they go, we want you to be entrepreneurial. We want you to come up with new ideas. We want you to push the boundaries. I'm excited about that. So I'm excited about this, too. It's like, what's in a name? Well, whatever you put into the name," co-host Joe Scarborough said. No Trump Bump: Msnbc Hemorrhaging Viewers Since Election Day, Sheds More Than Half Of Primetime Audience Andrew Ross Sorkin, who co-hosts "Squawk Box" on CNBC and frequently appears on MSNBC, said he liked the new name. "I like this because I think it actually does have the sort of independence and actually gets away in some ways from even the idea of legacy media," Sorkin said. MSNBC host Rachel Maddow reacted to the name change in a statement to Variety. "If there was ever a time for us to change our name, this is it — because we're not just separating from NBC News in corporate terms, we're competing with them now. So I think the distinction is going to be good for us," Maddow said. "What NBC doing in its legacy timeslots — the Today Show, Nightly, Meet the Press — is just a world away from the 24/7 totally independent news operation that we're able to stand up now, thanks to the spin-off."Original article source: MSNBC to change name to 'MS NOW' in Comcast spinoff deal Solve the daily Crossword

PinkPantheress Showcases ‘Illegal,' ‘Girl Like Me,' ‘Tonight' Medley on ‘Fallon'
PinkPantheress made her TV debut last night, appearing on The Tonight Show to perform a dance-ready medley of three of her songs. With the help of a DJ and a group of backup dancers, the British musician showcased a lively mash-up of 'Illegal,' 'Girl Like Me,' and 'Tonight.' All three songs come off PinkPantheress' most recent mixtape, Fancy That, which arrived on May 9. It marked her first major release in two years, following her 2023 debut album, Heaven Knows. The 10-track mixtape notably sampled Panic! at the Disco's song 'Do You Know What I'm Seeing?' on 'Tonight.' More from Rolling Stone Trump Says He Was Not 'Solely Responsible' for 'Late Show' Cancellation Seth Meyers Says Future of 'Late Night' Is 'Outside of My Control' Jon Stewart Takes Aim at Trump's Epstein Defense: 'He Fled the Country' 'Sampling is funny because everyone has their opinions about it. Some people think it's stealing or unoriginal, which is something I dealt with a lot when I was starting,' the musician told MixMag. 'But for me sampling is my way of sharing a love for something and reinterpreting it. I would only sample something I love, I would never sample something for the thought of it having nostalgia-bait or whatever reason. I do it because I want to reinterpret something I love to different audiences.' PinkPantheress will embark on a short tour, An Evening With PinkPantheress, in North America this fall. The live event will make nine stops across six cities: The tour will begin in October with two back-to-back shows at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, followed by another pair of shows at Toronto's Massey Hall. PinkPantheress will stop in Chicago for a night at Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom before heading to Los Angeles for two nights at the Wiltern. The live run will conclude with shows in San Francisco and Oakland in November. The singer is getting back into the swing of touring after canceling all of her scheduled 2024 appearances this past August. 'I was full up. There was something that I needed to address, and so I had to leave,' the musician told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 earlier this year. 'And I did that for my own good. And obviously it was a very sad moment for people that wanted to see me but couldn't see me. But obviously, what goes around comes around, and I'll be back again.'
