A rep for British Airways just straight up told us the employee is being reprimanded -- adding "we don't understand why the employee took it upon himself to enforce regulations that don't exist."
No word on the ink-hater's punishment -- but a date with Kat Von D sounds about right.

It could be a statement about her weight, it could be an attempt to make Sam jealous, or it could just be that Lindsay Lohan felt like wearing a bikini -- either way, it's not too bad.
Lohan took her 22-year-old body to Hawaii for the weekend, sans on-again/off-again GF Samantha Ronson.
Still think she's too skinny?

Finally, Jessica Alba has a reason to frown -- cops busted her perfectly sculpted ass going the wrong way on a one way street!
According to people at the scene, a Santa Monica police officer wrote her up yesterday after he noticed Alba driving through an alley and going the opposite way of the giant posted arrow sign -- which you can see is clearly hanging in the upper left hand corner of the photo.
No celebrity justice here...

According to papers filed today in in L.A. County Superior Court, Jack claims former studio exec Mark Canton hasn't repaid a $1.2 million loan that he owes Nicholson.
It's a long complicated businessy thing -- but the long story short is Jack says Canton first owed the money to the bank, but Jack bought the loan when Canton defaulted.
Which means Canton is in the hole to Jack for the remaining debt -- $1.2 mil.
Jack is suing for his jack -- plus interest.
Rihanna lost more than her innocence the night she was allegedly beat up by Chris Brown -- she's also out $1.4 million in jewelry.
RiRi is asking the cops to hand back a pair of earrings and three rings the cops logged as evidence on the night in question. And get this -- the jewelry isn't even hers. According to docs, the bling belonged to four companies which loaned it to her for the pre-Grammy party she attended with Brown that night.
Rihanna's attorney, Donald Etra, claims he asked for the jewelry back earlier this month and submitted written requests on April 7 and April 17. Etra also claims that Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, has no problem with the jewelry being released.
The earrings are described as yellow metal hoop earrings with white stones. The first ring is a yellow metal ring with white stones and green stones. The second and third rings are described as being yellow metal rings with white stones.
Brown faces a felony assault charge and a charge of making criminal threats.

Conan O'Brien won't be called in early -- Jay Leno is just fine.
Oprah Winfrey just had another Aha! Moment -- when she decided to wage a legal war against an insurance company using her signature catchphrase.
Just a few days ago, Oprah's lawyers fired off a cease and desist letter to Mutual of Omaha demanding they shut down their plans to run a gigantic advertising campaign with the slogan, "Official sponsor of the aha moment."
In the letter, sent April 21, Oprah's peeps claim they have the rights to the "Aha Moment" slogan and they threatened to sue because O doesn't want Mutual to mislead her fans into thinking she's associated with them.
But Mutual of Omaha is fighting back with a lawsuit, claiming that even if Oprah had trademark rights to the phrase, she "abandoned" those rights by failing to "police their alleged mark" when other businesses used it in the past.
In the suit, filed Wednesday in federal court in Nebraska, Mutual asks the judge to rule that they have the right to use the phrase in their campaign.
A rep for O tells us, "Harpo has not filed a lawsuit or counterclaim against Mutual of Omaha. We hope to reach an amicable resolution on this issue."

We've obtained a tax lien -- filed last month -- showing The Dogg owes the State $284,053.59.
By our calculations, that's about 190,000 joints.
Leno was not taken to the hospital by ambulance -- he either drove himself or was driven by a staffer. NBC officials have confirmed tonight's show taping has been canceled -- a repeat will air instead.
A rep for Leno says he's still in the hospital for observation.
UPDATE -- A rep for "The Tonight Show" says Leno will miss Friday's episode as well. But, the rep adds, "Jay Leno is doing just fine. He was kidding around with the hospital staff and running his monologue jokes by the doctors and the nurses. He's expected back to work on Monday."
Wearing Jane Jetson's Easter Sunday gospel brunch chapeau, Janice from the Muppets' straw weave, Whoopi Goldberg's shades, Betty Boop's lipstick, O.J. Simpson's gloves, a dress made out of Ivanka Trump's duvet and a pair of platform heels from Shauna Sand's Hollywood Blvd. line, dance music chanteuse Lady GaGa visited a museum in Paris on Thursday.
At least the umbrella is hers.

Pharrell Williams hates his tattoos so much he's undergoing laser treatment to have them burned off his body -- as you can see by this bandaged up pic he posted on his blog yesterday.
A while back, the N.E.R.D. king said he wanted to have skin grafts to get rid of his ink -- but he obviously changed his mind. Here's what he wrote under the photo:
"Laser treatment bitches! Extra crispy. See, no skin graft here, just pure laser pain. This is our own version of Mythbusters! Laser is the new primer."
Feel the burn!

Law enforcement sources say Hayden returned from vacation on April 15th and discovered around $15,000 worth of jewelry was missing.
We're told there were no forced signs of entry -- and sources say there were several people who were in and out of the house while she was gone.
According to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this month, Donna Hogan claims she never actually entered into a final written contract with Phoenix Books and Audio, Inc. She claims they went and published it anyway, but more importantly, they did not:
-- Promote it
-- List her as the sole author
-- Pay her 40% of the gross receipts
-- Try and sell the book to Europe
-- Attempt to sell the movie rights
-- Pay her $200k upfront
She is seeking unspecified damages.
Just as Mathew Knowles told us, the audio clip that many people believed was leaked from "Today" was indeed a fake.
In fact, TMZ found the person behind the prank who was surprised it went as far as it did, saying, "It's a little bit crazy. No one in their right mind would sound like that, and no one would cheer for someone singing like that."
Apparently, the dude never went to an Ashlee Simpson concert...
In a fiery statement to TMZ, Mathew Knowles, who's also Bey's manager, says his daughter was set up. It's one of the best statements we've ever gotten.
"If no one took the time to look at the biggest Inauguration in the history of America then shame on them.
If no one took the time to listen to Beyonce sing 'America the Beautiful' and 'At Last' at the Neighborhood Ball for the first dance of President Obama and the First Lady, and they question Beyonce's vocal ability, they've gotta be an idiot.
At 12 years into her career, the last thing someone should be questioning is her vocal ability.
That would be like questioning if Kobe Bryant could shoot a jump shot. The vocals were obviously altered."
Rafiq Qureshi was accused of trying to sell Rubina for roughly $290,000 by a British newspaper that had set up an undercover operation to try and buy the young girl.
A senior police officer in India told Reuters, "So far there is no evidence of any offence, hence there is no registration of complaint and no arrest."
Here's the lowdown. Foxx hosted a party in 2007 at Social in Hollywood. William Presler says in his lawsuit he was hired to work the bar -- made completely of ice.
In the suit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Presler claims drunk guests dropped their drinks around the bar and glass shattered everywhere. He claims he tried cleaning it up but was told to leave it be. Presler says the manager preferred kicking the glass along the side of the ice bar.
At the end of the party, Presler says he slipped, fell and landed on the shattered glass, severely injuring himself. He needed 170 stitches to repair the damage to the severed nerves in his left hand.
Presler says he obtained a neuroscience degree and was forced to abandon his career to become a brain surgeon due to the damage in his left hand.
Barack Obama on the cover of the new issue of the Washingtonian (left) and the exact same candid pic that TMZ posted in December (right).
The editor-at-large tells TMZ the decision to change Obama's swimsuit from black to red was "purely artistic" because of the background being black.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

The cops say no one from Madonna's camp said anything about a photog causing the mishap.
Sgt. Herbert Johnson from the Southampton Village P.D. tells us: "There is no mention of photographers. It's a matter of spin control that went out of control. If they felt there was something else, they would have written 'paparazzi' in the form -- if they felt there was a problem."
Lindsay spent what she thought would be a private evening this weekend at Prive nightclub at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Vegas --until the club fired off a gratuitous press release, allegedly exposing her relapse.
In the release, the club buried this item -- "Mel [B] was drinking Merlot and Lindsay asked for a Vodka drink mixed with soda water and a splash of cranberry."
It squarely contradicts Lindsay's outburst last week, when she said "I don't drink...a**hole."
With friends -- and clubs -- like this ...
Oprah just announced on her website she's decided to pull the episode: "I decided to pull the Columbine show today. After reviewing it, I thought it focused too much on the killers. Today, hold a thought for the Columbine community. This is a hard day for them."
Instead, Oprah will air an episode about a mother being released from prison.
