John Rich was deemed too drunk to sit down and enjoy the ride.

The country star was flying to Nashville after a stint in Las Vegas.

After getting in a fight with a passenger before getting on the plane, Rich continued to show drunken behavior once onboard.

Crew members came up to Rich and deemed him unfit to make the trip.

Under federal aviation regulations, the crew escorted Rich off the plane.

Traveling with a baby can be such a hassle!

But, don't you worry, because Have Baby Will Travel founder Corinne McDermott shares her 5 Ts To Happy Travel With Your Tots:

Timing…

…is everything! Try to schedule your flights for when baby will be sleepy and likely to nap.

Toys…

…keep little ones busy with a mix of new and old favourites. Wrapping them adds to the excitement and duration of baby’s interest.

Treats…

You may call it bribery. When you’re flying with small children it’s called smart parenting.

Toiletries…

Keep clean and prepared for anything with a mini-drugstore in your carry-on. Don’t forget the wipes!

Temperament…

Babies get tense when their parents do, so try to keep cool and let the usual stresses of air travel roll off your back.

Make like a boy scout and be prepared and you’ll be set to fly today’s less-than-family-friendly skies!

Is this the beginning of the end of buying bottled water?

Hundreds of colleges across the nation are installing eco-freindly water fountains known as hydration stations so students can refill water bottles instead of buying new ones.

They are getting good reviews too. One Pennsylvania college student on a campus with 20 filling stations, said:

"They're so much easier than tipping bottles under the old water fountains. You can fill them all the way to the top."

Hydration stations are popping up in more places than just colleges. They are featured at airports, parks, office buildings, stores, and even on the Black Eyed Peas tour!

The International Bottled Water Association believes bottled water has a strong following and doesn't see these filling stations as an eventual replacement. "There is probably enough room for both," said a spokesman for the group.

Although bottled water may sometimes be be more convenient, we think hydration stations are a great innovation that will definitely continue to gain popularity.

This is very disturbing.

According to intelligence, London is on severe alert for a possible Mumbai-style attack.

A British Security source has said that subway stations and airports are "of particular concern to officials."

Looks like they're currently enacting more intense security precautions at subway and train stations, and at Heathrow Airport, but security sources say that an attack is NOT imminent.

Here's what a Metropolitan Police Officer had to say about it:

"The threat level to the UK is at severe, which means that an attack is highly likely, and has been since January 2010."

"We will police accordingly and use a range of covert and overt tactics which remain under constant review. As Assistant Commissioner of Special Operations John Yates said recently, recent events at East Midlands Airport and continued speculation about 'Mumbai-style' attacks serve as a stark reminder of the real and enduring threat we continue to face from terrorist groups."

And here's what a British Aviation Authority spokesman had to say about airport security:

"Security at our airports remains at a high level, and we remain vigilant at all times."

We're glad to hear that officials are taking measures to keep people in London safe.

Hopefully everything will be all right, and that security threat level will go down once again.

For those of you facing the upcoming holiday travels, here’s a way to add some humor to your airport experience.

With the new TSA full-body-scanners and pat downs at several airports, creators Tim Geoghegan and Matthew Ryan have designed a special type of shirt called 4th Amendment Wear.

The tee has the privacy rights in the amendment printed on the front with metallic ink designed to show up during the scanners.

Geoghegan reveals:

"It's not that I'm against searches, because I think they're something we have to do. It's just to raise the issue of privacy, the things we have to go through now. I figured the Fourth Amendment raises those questions but doesn't really take a side on the issue. It gets people to re-read the amendment and brings it up for discussion."

The collection, which also includes non-metallic options, features shirts, underwear, and socks.

Ryan adds:

"I figured if we could create metal type that would appear in these scanners, it would be pretty awesome. We're giving people a voice when they don't have a voice at all.

We had been talking to some of the manufacturers of the body scanner machines and got advice on what would show up the best.”

As for the metallic ink, it consists of iron powder mixed with ink.

But don’t worry about setting off the regular metal detectors as the guys claim the items have as much metal as a standard rivet on a pair of jeans.

Would U buy one?
