Flight Attendants/Lady GaGa/Katy Perry Mash Up During Safety Announcement

A trio of comely flight attendants on Philippines-based Cebu Pacific Airlines danced their way through the customary pre-flight safety announcement, a performance captured on videotape that some think was a plant by the airline for PR purposes.

As the Lady GaGa hit "Just Dance" played, the flight attendants demonstrated how to use a seat belt.  They danced to Katy Perry's "California Girls" while demonstrating proper use of an oxygen mask.

Some suspect the airline planted wthe video that quickly went viral on YouTube.  Even though the film looks like it was shot by an amateur, one wonders how the photographer--who wrote that he (or she) was surprised when the flight attendants began to shimmy--knew to cue the camera to begin just as the show began.

Regardless, hundreds of thousands of folks who've never heard of Cebu Pacific now have, and you can bet if there's ever a "Dancing With the Stars" for flight attendants, Cebu Pacific's women have an early lead in the popular voting.

Table For Two, and Send a Drink From Me to Mick!

I've seen Fox News newsstands and Travel & Leisure stores selling luggage and travel tchotchkes at airports so I guess there's nothing that unusual about Rolling Stone magazine's plans to open a restaurant/bar/lounge/party venue in Los Angeles near the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

But would would the late Hunter Thompson have said?

The 10,000-square-feet entertainment center will be near Grauman's Chinese theater, and all I can think is that Jann Wenner watched enviously for a couple of decades as Hard Rock properties proliferated around the globe and figured it was time he cashed in on the rock memorabilia action, too. 

Hey, if The Who can kill during halftime of the Super Bowl, why can't a magazine as old as Rolling Stone helmed by an old guy about my age, extend its brand and open a hip restaurant?
