Whitney Houston almost got kicked off a Delta Airlines flight Wednesday because she refused to buckle her seatbelt.  Whitney boarded a flight in Atlanta and when she settled into her seat, a crew member asked her to buckle up.  Whitney reportedly went all diva on the flight crew and was told if she didn’t buckle up, she would have to be escorted off the plane.  The singer eventually allowed one of the crew members to fasten the belt for her and the plane was then cleared for takeoff.  Reps for the singer say that Whitney was sober, but just exhausted.

Lindsay Lohan has violated the judge’s order in her probation case by not seeing a psychologist at least once a week … TMZ has learned … and that may be enough to send her to the slammer.  Judge Stephanie Sautner made it clear to Lindsay during her sentence last May … she MUST see the shrink every week, but she has not.  We’re told one of her excuses is that she’s been working out of the country, but Judge Sautner made it extremely clear … work is not an excuse for failing to comply with the terms of probation.  And, Judge Sautner said, if Lindsay violates any court order, she’s going to jail … period. Short story … Lindsay could go to jail next week, when she appears before Judge Sautner for her progress report.

Dr. Nadar Kamangar, a pulmonary and critical care doctor who specializes in sleep medicine, took the stand in the Dr. Conrad Murray manslaughter case on Thursday.  The doctor called Murrays use of Propofol “inconceivable,”
“unethical,” and “disturbing.”  Kamangar said he found “multiple extreme deviations” in Murray’s standard of care as it relates to insomnia.

* Dr. Kamangar told the court insomnia is a common problem in the ICU he
said he uses Propofol on a daily basis.

* Kamangar said Propofol should be used with extreme caution because it can be
unpredictable, especially when used with other sedatives.

* He said Murray’s treatment of Michael Jackson amounted to “gross negligence.”

* According to Kamangar , Murray should have never given MJ any sedatives
because he was dehydrated which means his blood pressure was already low.

* He also said Murray’s failure to call 911 was an “unconscionable deviation of
care” adding, Murray wasted critical time calling MJ’s assistant instead of
calling 911.

* Kamangar told the court Murray broke one of the first rules of medicine –
putting your patient first — when he withheld information from ER docs.

* He also said Murray behaved unethically when he chose to ignore “clear signs”
of MJ’s drug addiction.

Hilary Swank is apologizing to about anyone who will listen in order to make her commitment to human rights clear.  The Oscar winner had attended a ribbon cutting ceremony and wished happy birthday to Chechen President Ramzam Kadyrov.  Swank says she accepted the invitation “because the construction project was described to her as a symbol of hope for the people of Chechnya, a region that had been devastated by war.”  Critics argue that Swank’s presence and birthday wishes was disrespectful as the Chechen president is responsible for torturing and/or murdering a number of individuals.  The Human Rights Commission claims it also sent Swank a letter ahead of the event explaining why attendance would be a massive mistake.
