Some days ago, joining a first class group of airline offenders like Josh Duhamel, Minka Kelly, Billie Joe Armstrong and so on, the 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin was reportedly asked to leave a Los Angeles-New York American Airlines flight for playing Words with Friends, a mobile word game.

Alec Baldwin
53-year-old actor Alec Baldwin recently made headlines when he was unceremoniously kicked off an American Airlines flight after refusing to turn off his iPhone in December 2011. It is shocking that Alec Baldwin’s recent on-flight freakout could possibly result in American Airlines entirely removing his show “30 Rock” in which the actor has received two Emmy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, and six Screen Actors Guild Awards from the line-up of in-flight entertainment. Alec Baldwin later claimed American Airlines lacked "common sense, style and service” while the airline countered that he was booted for calling the crew "inappropriate names."

Josh Duhamel
The New Year's Eve star Josh Duhamel was escorted off of a plane last year after he refused to turn his BlackBerry off before takeoff. According to a passenger, the actor was "very rude", "taunting the attendant and laughing off multiple requests to shut it off. Talking about this incident, Josh Duhamel said: "I learned that it's best to always turn them off," and added that the incident was "not my favorite." After repeated requests were ignored, the flight attendant called for backup and the plane turned off the runway and went back to the gate.
