Gossip: Steven Slater
The former JetBlue flight attendant is in talks to star in a reality show.

Industry sources say Slater, who became a folk hero of sorts after quitting his job in dramatic fashion when he got fed up with an unruly passenger, is in talks to star in a reality show in which he will inspire disgruntled workers to quit their jobs with a bang. “There’s lots of things in the works,” said Slater.
