This story doesn’t surprise me, however, it doesn’t please me either. It actually makes me dislike Britney Spears more.

I heard this story a few years ago, right after the first season of American Idol 1 wrapped, that Kelly Clarkson refused to get on a plane unless she could sit next to her friends. I thought that was stupid because she wasn’t even famous yet. But the fact is, I think it’s stupid for celebrities to be jerks when it comes to flying.

And apparently Britney Spears is okay with being a big, stupid jerk.

She was going to fly from Los Angeles to Florida, but wouldn’t at the last minute because the plane didn’t have leather seats. Jesus, what next?

“It was quite astonishing. The doors had been closed for about ten minutes, everyone was strapped in and the plane was about to taxi to the runway when Britney got up and said she had to get off. She just said ‘I don’t want to fly on this plane. It hasn’t got leather seats.’ I heard everything but most people were left wondering what was going on, so the captain was forced to make an apology to all the other passengers over the tannoy. It was quite a fiasco but she didn’t seem to care about anything except getting off that plane. All the passengers were furious.”

I would have booed her and told her she isn’t ever going to have a comeback. Then I would have told her she should be paying me to even be on the same flight as her because she’s THAT annoying.
