Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

Sat next to Anna Deavere Smith (West Wing, Nurse Jackie) on a recent AA LAX - JFK flight - sadly she was a bit of a DYKWIA type.
 
Had Alan Joyce and Sam Neill on flight from Queenstown to Sydney yesterday. QF staff were very attentive!!
 
Bob Katter in the Virgin lounge at BNE right now, no sign of that hat though.

Interesting interview with him in one of the Saturday or Sunday Age magazines recently. It commented on the fact that he chooses to fly Y only, despite the fact that he's quite entitled to fly J courtesy of the good taxpayers (and that's what most MPs do). But more unbelievably, it said he has QF Chairman's Lounge membership but chooses not to use it! :shock:

(Unknown, to me at least) "film star" (FA report) on VA 226 Adelaide to Melbourne just now. Entourage, hoodies, sunnies, bling, VA escort to plane from lounge where I noted that large boots all over seats was all the go :)
Any suggestions?
 
They are scouting locations for a new film. Angelina Jolie was rumoured to appear in it. They've not long finished filming a move in Flinders Rangers with the Twilight male star. I know because my sons friend was the Body double for him. Said he's a really nice guy.
 
I see Penny Wong, her partner Sophie and daughter most weeks for coffee at Cibo. This area is in Pynes electorate so very much Coalition. Everyone pretty much ignores them. :).
 
Anthony Calea and his minder picking up a car from Hertz on Wednesday night. The really weird thing was they both walked in to the same coffee shop I was in the next morning in a random suburb - quite a strange coincidence. Was half expecting them to be back at Hertz again that night and on the same flight home!
