Ben Widdicombe Blind Items
Which fashion designer's bicoastal (and quite possibly bipolar) husband hasn't quite kicked his addiction to nicotine? One former employee recalls being on a private jet with the hot-tempered power-player just after it took off for the five hour flight to the West Coast, when he pulled out a cigarette and asked one of his flunkies for a light. "Nobody had one," recalls the former peon. "We were terrified. We seriously considered asking the pilot to land in Kansas or somewhere so [redacted] could get a light. We were all like -- 'are we fired?'"

This is so completely unspectacular. Who gives a shit?
Those cupcakes look delicious Yummy lol.
but yet you cared enough to comment that you didn't care.
Who ARE these people? They shoulda just opened the door and shoved his mightier than God ass out.
Don't know if Barry Diller's a smoker, but he's "married" to Diane von Furstenberg and is a really scary, intimidating guy, especially to his employees.
don't airplanes have those little push in ciggie lighters? hahaha, i'm kidding. seriously, i have no idea who this is, but he needs to give up ciggies and start smoking something more mellow
Someone should have opened a nicotine patch and stuck in on his forehead. Nicoderm, don't leave home without it.
Damn, I miss smoking on planes. Sometimes when the drink cart doesn't come around fast enough or turbulence has me screaming for my Momma, I could use a cig.
I remember the first several-hour plane trip I had to make without smoking. Awful. The logical solution for me is to take a big old nap.
Maybe this blind isn't "spectacular" but it is interesting, and sad, that people are afraid of losing their job because their dumbass boss won't carry his own lighter.
I've always wondered, why don't these people use nicotine gum to get them through a long flight?
Any smokers want to enlighten me?
WEINSTEIN.
OMG, seriously? We're making blinds out of SMOKERS??
That has got to be one of the stupidest blinds I've ever read.
Slow news day, Ben? Wanna come over and stake out my yard? I think my landlady might be using extra strength weed-killer...scandalous.
LOL, Lisa! And yes, McDooks and Majik.
they should all be fired for being unimaginative
d-
I'm a smoker, and my solution to that is...I NEVER EVER FLY. I haven't flown in years, I drive pretty much everywhere I need to go. Even when I go back home, it takes about 17 hours to drive when it would take about 2-3 to fly, but it's worth it. I don't smoke in my car, but I can stop for a smoke whenever I want, unlike being on a plane. Flying totally sucks and I don't miss it a bit...!
