A German travel company has launched the world’s first nudist airline. As of July, passengers with tour operators OssiUrlaub will be able to shed their clothes after boarding and fly in the nude, sitting on special hygienic seat covers. Hot drinks will not be served for safety reasons. Demand for the flights, to a “naturist” enclave on a Baltic island, is so great that the company plans to charter larger planes. “There is a genuine market for nudist-related leisure activities,” says a company official.
Barbra Streisand is feuding with stepson Josh Brolin over his decision to play George W. Bush in a movie, says The National Enquirer. Streisand, 65, a lifelong liberal and outspoken critic of the president, was infuriated when she heard of Brolin’s decision, fearing the role would humanize Bush. “How could Josh do this to me?” she asked. A source says Brolin, 39, refused to back down despite a series of pleading phone calls from Streisand. “He’s become angry with her,” the source says. “He doesn’t like being bossed around.”
