The screw continues to turn in the American Airlines/Alec Baldwin drama.  While most found Baldwin’s appearance on “Saturday Night Live” where he posed as an American Airlines captain apologizing to Mr. Baldwin a hoot, the airlines itself isn’t very happy.  The flight attendants union has taken steps to make sure that neither Baldwin or his character, Jack Donaghy on “30 Rock” ever appear on an American Airlines flight again.  No decision has yet been made regarding the sitcom’s yanking from the inflight entertainment, though an airline spokesperson was quick to explain that NBC routinely rotates which programs it offers on board the AA flights.

People are still talking about Rachael Crow being eliminated from “The X Factor”.   Now comes word that it may have been fellow judge, Paula Abdul who whispered to Nicole Scherzinger on how to handle the vote decision.  It’s being reported that Paula’s mic was down when Nicole was making her decision but in a review of the video, one can clearly hear Paula whisper to Nicole, “Just let it go to a deadlock.”  Nicole did that and Rachel Crow was sent home because she had fewer votes than Marcus Canty.
