John Travolta can't stop ex-pilot's tell-all lawsuit: John Travolta's former pilot has won the right to make his case in court that he has no confidentiality obligations守密义务 to the Hollywood actor and is free to talk about their alleged six-year gay affair in the 1980s. Doug Gotterba was slapped with a cease and desist order from Travolta's lawyers after he first told his story to the National Enquirer in 2012. The lawyers argued that a confidentiality agreement he signed as an employee of the star's airline company, Alto, prevented him from speaking out. But Gotterba argued that agreement as not authentic, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Yesterday California Appeals judge Arthur Gilbert court found in favour of Gotterba, allowing him to argue his claims in court. Gotterba reportedly hopes to write a tell-all book about his experience. "I got the sense I was being courted被追求," Gotterba said. "As we walked from the restaurant back to the room, John suddenly said, "Hey, would you like a massage?'" He said Travolta, 58, took him on more romantic trips to Hawaii, Amsterdam and Kenya. "Sometimes he'd bring women along as beards, but he would ask me to join him in his suite and we'd spend the nights together. It was our little secret," Gotterba claimed. The pilot said he encouraged Travolta to get a girlfriend as cover, and that's when the actor started dating Brooke Shields. The affair ended in 1986 after growing tensions关系紧张, Gotterba said. "He'd show up on my door many times, unannounced事先不告知的, 事先不说的, 不说的, 不打招呼的, to check up on me," the pilot told the Enquirer. "He'd disappear into my bedroom and go through my drawers. He always tried to catch me cheating on him." He said Travolta would ignore him for days if he didn't drop everything to be with him on a moment's notice. Their last meeting最后一次会面, 见面 was years later in 1992, after Travolta married actress Kelly Preston. "We were making small talk when suddenly, I blurted out, 'So, John, tell me. Now that you're married, do you still prefer men – or women?'" Gotterba said he asked. "Well, Doug, I still prefer men," Travolta replied, according to Gotterba.
Don't mind us! Rose Byrne gets awkwardly photobombed by two co-stars at preview event for her Broadway debut：She will making her debut on Broadway next month, but it looks like veterans of the stage already feel comfortable around Rose Byrne.

In discussing a "stingray ( [ˈstɪŋˌreɪ] a large flat fish with a narrow tail that can sting. ) photobomb" picture that went viral, Andrea DenHoed suggests that the photobomb label "implies a narrative ( I.

TwitterStorm about OffSpring Twist - Offspring season 5 twist sent cast, fans into Twitter frenzy: It was the kind of moment every television drama needs - when the life of its main character is turned upside down - but Offspring fans are not happy their beloved Nina has been taken for a ride( take somebody for a ride 被骗, 欺骗, 受骗 to cheat or deceive someone I trusted him but he took me for a ride. let something ride 任其自然发展, 随便吧, 爱怎样怎样吧, 爱咋咋吧 Fig. to allow something to continue or remain as it is. to not take action to change something wrong or unpleasant.

In Wednesday night's explosive episode of the popular Network Ten series Nina, played by Gold Logie-winner Asher Keddie, is confronted with the fact her new lover Thomas (Ben Barrington) is not only married, but had been cheating on his heavily pregnant wife. His secret came out when a birth complication forced Thomas and his unknowing ( 豪不知情的, 被瞒住的. oblivious. not knowing what kind of situation you are involved in, for example because someone has tricked or cheated you. ) wife to Nina's hospital instead of the maternity ward产房 they had planned. And as Nina's world exploded, so too did the Offspring fans. Typical, and not alone were reactions such as: "So much drama in one night cannot handle it #Offspring #TeamLeo". As well as the outraged fans, the Offspring cast and crew took to social media to congratulate each other on what had been a landmark moment for the series, with writer Michael Lucas singled out. "Tonight's #offspring is a ripper, and yet another master class 大师级的 in writing from @MrMichaelLucas," tweeted series regular Eddie Perfect. "I know what happens and this is still killing meeeeeee!" summed up series star Claire Bowditch, tagging Lucas again. Lucas however graciously tipped his hat to the actors. In all, the night proves Ten's decision to proceed with another season. Although still not confirmed, programming director Beverley Garvey has indicated talks are under way to continue the series.
United States border preclearance: The United States operates border preclearance facilities at a number of ports and airports in foreign countries. They are staffed and operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers. Travelers who have passed through the U.S. government checks过安检, but whose flight or ship has not departed, remain in the legal jurisdiction of the host country. U.S. officials may question and search travelers with the passenger's permission, but they do not have powers of arrest无权批捕 (either for customs or immigration violations, or for the execution of outstanding warrants), although they can deny boarding. Local criminal laws apply, and are enforced by local officials. Some countries have laws in place specifically to cover preclearance issues. Since CBP does not have legal powers on foreign soil, passengers can only be detained for local laws by local authorities. A passenger can choose to abandon their flight and refuse search, and unlike in the United States, officers cannot search them. Most preclearance facilities have a sign explaining this. Preclearance provides considerable flexibility to the airlines operating in those routes where such program is available. However, with the notable exceptions of LaGuardia and Reagan National, many more US airports now have customs facilities compared to 比之 when the preclearance program first started in 1952. The waits at some busy preclearance facilities, notably Toronto Pearson, can also often exceed the waiting times of non-precleared flights at the destination and cause significant delays to departure schedules. Reduced staffing levels雇员减少 by US Customs and Border Protection have been blamed by airport authorities, whose pleas have been answered with deferrals( Deferment. the act of deferring; postponement. ) due to domestic priorities. NEXUS and similar programs are now being explored and expanded as a means to try to restore some of the original convenience to the preclearance process. In December 2011, the government of Abu Dhabi signed a letter of intent 意向书 to construct a terminal that, when opened, will house a U.S. border preclearance facility.
