John Travolta,his aircraft and own runways

John Joseph Travolta (born February 18, 1954) is an American actor, dancer, and singer. Travolta first became known in the 1970s, after appearing on the television series Welcome Back, Kotter and starring in the box office successes Saturday Night Fever and Grease. Travolta's acting career declined through the 1980s. His career enjoyed a resurgence in the 1990s with his role in Pulp Fiction, and he has since continued starring in more recent films such as Face/Off, Ladder 49, and Wild Hogs. Travolta was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for Saturday Night Fever and Pulp Fiction. He won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for his performance in Get Shorty.

Travolta is a certified private pilot. He owns five aircraft, including an ex-Qantas Boeing 707–138 airliner that bears the name Jett Clipper Ella in honor of his children.Pan American World Airways was a large operator of the Boeing 707 and used Clipper in its names. The 707 aircraft bears the marks of Qantas, as Travolta acts as an official goodwill ambassador for the airline wherever he flies.

His $4.9 million estate in the Jumbolair subdivision in Ocala, Florida, is situated on Greystone Airport with its own runway and taxiway right to his front door.

On November 24, 1992, Travolta was piloting his Gulfstream N728T at night above a solid undercast, when he experienced a total electrical system failure, while flying under instrument flight rules into Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. During the emergency landing, he almost had a mid-air collision with a USAir Boeing 727, an event attributed to a risky decision by an air traffic controller.

On September 13, 2010, during the first episode of the final season of her talk show, Oprah Winfrey announced that she would be taking her entire studio audience on an 8-day expenses-paid trip to Australia, with Travolta serving as pilot for the trip. He had helped Winfrey plan the trip for more than a year.

Who is Austrian OAK?

Arnold Schwarzenegger began weight training at the age of 15. He won the Mr. Universe title at age 20 and went on to win the Mr. Olympia contest seven times. Schwarzenegger has remained a prominent presence in bodybuilding and has written many books and articles on the sport. Schwarzenegger gained worldwide fame as a Hollywood action film icon. He was nicknamed the "Austrian Oak" and the "Styrian Oak" in his bodybuilding days, "Arnie" during his acting career and more recently "The Governator" (a portmanteau of "Governor" and "The Terminator" – one of his best-known movie roles).

As a boy, Schwarzenegger played several sports, heavily influenced by his father.He picked up his first barbell in 1960, when his soccer coach took his team to a local gym. At the age of 14, he chose bodybuilding over soccer as a career. Schwarzenegger has responded to a question asking if he was 13 when he started weightlifting: "I actually started weight training when I was 15, but I'd been participating in sports, like soccer, for years, so I felt that although I was slim, I was well-developed, at least enough so that I could start going to the gym and start Olympic lifting." However, his official website biography claims: "At 14, he started an intensive training program with Dan Farmer, studied psychology at 15 (to learn more about the power of mind over body) and at 17, officially started his competitive career.

He was so dedicated as a youngster that he broke into the local gym on weekends, when it was usually closed, so that he could train. "It would make me sick to miss a workout... I knew I couldn't look at myself in the mirror the next morning if I didn't do it."

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West Denied Nuptials At Marie Antoinette’s Palace

Kim Kardashian may yet have a wedding fit for a queen, and there will probably be cake, but her version of a royal wedding to hip hop king Kanye West will not take place at the French Palace of Versailles.

It was at the same Palace that the extravagant-living wife of France’s King Louis XVI, according to legend, told starving peasants to “eat cake.” Though it is now generally accepted that Marie Antoinette never actually spoke that phrase, it seemed believable at the time of the French Revolution. Marie Antoinette, along with the palace where she resided, came to symbolize of the callous indifference of the aristocracy toward the struggles of ordinary people.

Marie Antoinette was tried by a Revolutionary Tribunal then beheaded on October 16, 1793. But Kim Kardashian will avoid any association with the ill-fated French queen. Though, along with her fiancé Kanye West, she paid a visit to the palace over the weekend, sparking rampant speculation that the mega-celebrity couple were eyeing the “let them eat cake” venue as the site of their wedding, the palace staff quickly put the kibosh on those rumors.

When Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were granted a private, after-hours tour of the palace, they were required to sign a “liability waiver” which included, according to the French Press Agency, the pledge, “I do not have any intentions of planning any large wedding event with the Chateau de Versailles premises in the future.”

Chateau de Versailles is the French term for the palace.

The couple also granted permission for palace management to release their signed “waiver” to the press, should journalists become curious about whether the reality TV star and her rapper fiancé were considering a palace wedding.

And inevitably, the press did express just such curiosity. So the palace responded with a statement on its official Twitter account, stating without any ambiguity that the couple would not have their wedding at the palace.

Kim Kardashian, if a source who blabbed to E! Online is to be believed, will be sorely disappointed by the palace’s laying down the “no nuptials” law. The source told E! that both Kim and Kanye were “really impressed” by their tour of the palace.

“Kim in particular is really in love with the place,” the source confided, noting that the callipygous Keeping Up With The Kardashians star was “raving” about the menu offerings from the palace kitchen, which include foie gras, truffles, sliced veal and other French delicacies. Maybe even cake.

Why Tom Cruise thrown out of school?

                                                                  

Tom’s best friend from the seminary, Shane Dempler, told the Daily News that the pair were extremely devout and both planned to become priests.

The incident that led to the pair being asked to leave St Francis came in 1977, when Mr Cruise and Mr Dempler supposedly decided to take advantage of the fact that the monks were having a party.

Mr Dempler says he snuck in to the room where liqour for the party was being held, and threw it out of the window to his friend.
The miscreants were apparently found out when some of the other students were caught by the priests obviously drunk, and forced to reveal where they had obtained alcohol.

The seminary wrote to their parents asking them to withdraw their sons from the schools, according to Mr Dempler - which seems to have been the end for Mr Cruise's religious ambitions.

An actor spent 83 straight months (nearly 7 years) living with the Indigenous peoples of the Amazon river to understand a role.Can any one imagine this?

                                                                                          

Jon Voight did more studying for his role in the film Anaconda than one could ever imagine. He spent 83 straight months (nearly 7 years) living with the Indigenous peoples of the Amazon river. Having trouble understanding their dialect, Voight immediately created his own language and accent. This explains where his thick Mongolian accent comes from in the film. Voight was very popular with many tribes up and down the river. He often BBQ'd for them during the day and led them in tribal dances at night. One could say that he did more for the Amazon than Jolie (his stepdaughter?) did for Africa.
