| French Actor Gerard Depardieu |
French actor Gerard Depardieu was removed after urinating at his seat Tuesday night when the cabin crew refused his request to use the bathroom because the plane was preparing for take-off. .
Different versions of what happened next exist; however, they all agree on one thing. Depardieu stood up and bellowed in French, "I need to piss! I need to piss!" A fellow passenger interviewed on France's Europe-1 radio said he appeared drunk when he stood, and then urinated on the floor. Depardieu is no stranger to a wine bottle and has been known to drink up to 6 bottles of wine in a day. A man traveling with Depardieu said he passed a mini Evian bottle for the actor to use, but it was too small to hold all of the urine, so some of it spilled onto the floor. He excused Depardieu's actions by saying he has a prostate problem and was not drunk.

| CNN's Anderson Cooper |
Passengers on the one-hour flight from Paris to Dublin were delayed for two hours while the carpet was cleaned. The French press has labeled the incident Pipigate, while Anderson Cooper used it as fodder for his Ridiculist. The normally straight-faced commentator fired off a series of puns, including The actor had "created his own jet stream" and "I wonder if he flies Incontinental". He cracked up when he said "Depar-doo" and laughed until tears formed, practically falling off his chair.
Ham on Wry warns against trying this to garner a few laughs. However, in a time when each day's news brings more woes, Depardieu gave the world a little laughter, albeit at the expense of his fellow passengers.
