Diana Ross threw a mini hissy fit today at LAX when she couldn't find her luggage -- but the guy she bitched out got off easy.
The diva often flies the not-so-friendly-skies -- back in 1999 she allegedly assaulted a security worker at Heathrow Airport in the UK. The porter, this time, was left unscathed.

Britney Spears took time out from getting well to fly home to the Louisiana delta -- on Delta! Ima comin' Jamie Lynn!
Britters took off from LAX this morning sportin' bed head and some of her baggage in tow.
It may not be a private jet, but it beats a gurney!

TMZ spotted Brandy's lil' bro aka Ray J, at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C., and the singer keeps chanting "Shawty got gifts!" We worked on translating his slang. Shawty: A cute lady. Gifts: A bangin' body.
That explains what he meant -- and "Gifts" is a name of one of his songs -- but who's he talking about? Isn't he dating Whitney Houston?

It only took eight years, but misdemeanor possession charges against Whitney Houston have been dropped. This after cops caught the "crack is whack" singer with Mary Jane at a Hawaiian airport back in 2000. Her record is now clean ... in Hawaii anyway.
Houston was not arrested at the time, and allegedly ditched the sack with less than half an ounce and three partially smoked joints before getting on her flight with then hubby Bobby Brown.
Maybe she should've ditched Bobby back then too -- we're just sayin'.

"Idol's" Jason Castro lays low while flying high.
Freelance reporter Sue Facter tells us she sat next to Castro on the not one, two, but three American flights it took to get back to L.A. for last week's results show, and says the singer was super chill during the crazazy flight debacle.
After two brutal flights -- one of which included sharing food with passengers because the airline didn't have enough to go around, another ending in an emergency landing, Facter tells us the dread-headed singer didn't pitch any diva fits, and he was totally chill the entire time.
Just like the stoner he says he isn't.

Looks like Naomi Campbell has been giving Dina Lohan flying lessons.
TMZ spies caught Lindsay's mommie dearest going ballistic on her assistant at JFK baggage claim last week. Our source tells us Dina -- who was flying back from LAX with her middle-aged teen daughter Ali -- was screaming at the assistant for forgetting her bag and yelled, "You must have left your brain on the flight. You're my assistant and that's my bag. You should know this!" It's safe to say you won't be seeing that on "White Oprah's" reality show.
Oh, and we're told Dina flew first class on American Airlines, but used the bathroom in coach. Apparently, D-nasty doesn't s**t where she eats -- only on her employees!

Hide your BlackBerries -- Naomi Campbell is back at the airport again. The glamazon was at Heathrow in London yesterday, where she tried to distract the po-po from her razor-sharp stiletto heels. 
No one is buying Naomi's nice act. She's like the mafia -- she smiles at you right before you get whacked.

After suffering an undisclosed medical problem earlier this year, Eddie Van Halen did his best Meg Ryan lip impression -- without the aid of any invasive procedure -- as he went through security at LAX. 
Eddie puckered up and said goodbye to his girlfriend Janie before heading off to rejoin his band mates on tour in Reno. Eddie's mystery ailment derailed the tour for five weeks.
Unlike many in Hollywood, TSA found no collagen on Eddie's person.

You can't get much hotter than 44-year-old Nicollette Sheridan ... wearing a heavy winter coat on a freezing cold 80 degree L.A. spring day!
The cougarlicious "Desperate" actress eventually removed her furry covering and showed off more of her "Housewives" bod, as she was snapped going through security at LAX on Thursday.
That's a hot flash!

Is Ashlee knocked up with a little emo baby? Neither she nor Jess would spill the goods to us at LAX.
Where's Papa Joe when you need him?

The only thing scarier than having schlock rocker Marilyn Manson on your flight -- the fact that photogs barely noticed big A-list star Cameron Diaz walking behind him at LAX on Sunday! The dope show, indeed!
Maybe the long black mane, shades, five inch heels and heavy pancake foundation had the paps thinking it was actually Cher instead of Manson. Believe!

We caught up with Ed Begley Jr. at LAX yesterday, but just as the "Transylvania 6-5000" star began his eco-tirade, our guy faded ... to black.
Like that famous frog once said, it's not easy being green.

Despite not being in anything remotely recognizable in over 15 years ("Jill the Ripper" anyone?!), 50-year-old "Rocky IV" star Dolph Lundgren was not only recognized at LAX on Monday -- the poor man was hit up for cash!
Dolph gave a few of his straight-to-DVD bucks to charity.

John Legend is anti-American, or at least he'd have every right to be.
The singer's head spun as he watched the American Airlines baggage carousel go round and round at LAX, as we waited in vain for signs of his luggage.
Legend never lost his cool and eventually he got his old bag.
BTW, the Airline Quality Rating 2008 came out today. American was rated #9 out of 16 in customer complaints. Something special in the air, alright.

Kristin Davis tried to make her way through LAX incognito over the weekend.
The "SATC" darling has been starring in her biggest role since the show ended, a little something we like to call "Apparent Victim of Leaked Sex Pictures."
Somewhere in Manhattan, Bunny MacDougal is rolling her eyes.
