What is it about celebrities and aeroplanes?

Back in 2008 Naomi Campbell managed to get herself kicked off a flight after reportedly going ballistic at staff for losing her luggage. Diana Ross was once detained for several hours for allegedly assaulting an airport guard, and Christian Slater hit the headlines a few years ago after a supposed attempt to get onboard with a pistol!

And now Whitney Houston is the latest showbiz diva to end up in a spot of travel drama.

According to TMZ, the ‘I Will Always Love You’ star, who’s known for having the odd prima donna tendency, was reportedly caught up in a flight altercation for refusing to wear her seatbelt.

The songstress was reportedly “almost” thrown off a Delta Airlines plane from Atlanta to Detroit after snapping at a flight attendant who told her to buckle up before take-off.

And the reason behind her rumoured hissy fit? Tiredness apparently!

"She was not drunk or on drugs, she is in the middle of filming a movie and flew across country to attend a charity event and return to filming. She was exhausted,” a source told E! News.
