Not even celebs can catch a break when flying commercial! TMZ spies caught former SNLer Jimmy Fallon stuck waiting for an LAX flight in Delta's Crown Room Club at JFK for seven hours -- where they were out of booze!

Once on the plane, he had to wait another two hours for takeoff. According to our spies, due to a delivery snafu, Delta had no alcohol on the plane either, and Fallon jokingly pled with his first class peeps for some Ambien, but came up empty. When TMZ contacted Jimmy's rep, she confirmed Jimmy was on his way to film scenes for the upcoming flick, "Rockett," with Sharon Stone and Lucy Liu.

Actor Shia LeBeouf turned 21 this past June, but the star of the new "Transformers" movie won't be morphing into a party-hopping club kid anytime soon. LeBeouf is working on the new "Indiana Jones" film and has vowed not to drink until filming wraps on the fourth installment of the series.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly last month, LeBeouf knocked the hard partying lifestyle. ''It could all go a

way tomorrow if I'm at a club drinking like an asshole," adding that, "someone like Lindsay Lohan's personality is [more] famous than her performance.''

The Golden Glober was spotted outside her trailer with her hair dyed menopause red for her role as Jimmy Fallon's mom in the upcoming flick, "Rockett."

TMZ spotted the director sucking the nail polish off some random woman's foot at Empress sushi joint on the Sunset Strip recently. After the "meal" and a few drinks, Q posed for pictures and hopefully downed some Scope.

Former "OC" star Mischa Barton is going lesbian (again) for her new movie, and this is the girl she's going to be locking lips with. Line forms to the left!

Shantel VanSanten is a former contestant on the short-lived NBC reality show "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Search." Shantel was one of the first contestants eliminated, but she seems to have landed on her feet.

The title of the hit movie "Knocked Up" suggests that Katherine Heigl's character is going to give birth, and boy does she ever! If you haven't yet seen the comedy, sorry to spoil it for ya, but there are multiple shots of a baby popping out ... with the camera right there between mom's legs. Or was it?

TMZ put its detective cap on to find out how "Knocked Up" writer/director Judd Apatow created this graphic scene and still managed to get an R Rating. We spoke with Larry of Honey's Place (an adult novelty distributor often called the "Costco of the porn industry") who believes the scene could have been created with special effects. Larry told us "We have vaginas in our warehouse. (Holy moly!) Manufacturers like Doc Johnson take a real porn star and make a latex mold of the body -- and they are pretty lifelike." Gee. Larry doesn't pussyfoot around.

Linda Teglovic, agent/owner of Body Parts Models says it's a tough job. "I would have a hard time finding a girl to do that," adding she has never seen a request for a "vagina double" on any breakdowns (casting call lists) that she's seen. But then again, anything's possible.

The New York Times Magazine reported in May that "The Devil Wears Prada" star Anne Hathaway was originally cast in "Knocked Up," but pulled out because she had problems with the vagina. Apatow told the Times "Hathaway dropped out of the film because she didn't want to allow us to use real footage of a woman giving birth to create the illusion that she is giving birth."

The MPAA wouldn't return our calls and Apatow was unreachable. Our best guess, culled from these snatches of information, is that "Knocked Up" used a stunt vagina.

Barton plays the most popular girl in a Catholic school who stumbles upon a sinister conspiracy while investigating the theft of SAT exams, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Bruce Willis co-stars as the principal while Rumer plays Mischa's less attractive friend.

Everyone knows Matthew McConaughey likes to go topless -- and now he wants female extras on his new movie to do the same!

A source on the set of Matt's new film, "Surfer Dude," tells TMZ that during a recent pool party scene that featured a bunch of female extras in bathing suits, McConaughey, who is also a producer on the movie, told the ladies if they took their tops off they would get more money for their time. We're told many of the women agreed. Welcome to Hollywood, girls!

With the female extras in all their bare-bosomed glory, Matt then requested girl-on-girl action for the scene. Sources tell TMZ that his request was not met with any complaints and only one extra left the set. Maybe this film will be good after all!

A rep for McConaughey told TMZ, "You should check with the Screen Actors Guild as they determine the pay scale and not Matthew McConaughey."

The southern belle was ranked #18 on the Maxim Hot 100 of 2007 list. The titillating starlet, seen here at a press conference in Seoul for "Transformers," is now 21 -- and engaged to former "Beverly Hills, 90210" hunk Brian Austin Green, 33. For now.

Weintraub was talking to reporters about his upcoming film version of the classic "Tarzan," saying that it will be, in his words, "Big. Bigger than you can imagine." The pic, to be directed by "Pan's Labyrinth's" Guillermo Del Toro, had Weintraub boasting, "My snake can reach from one side of Hollywood Boulevard to the other. It's that big."

Professional blonde Jessica Simpson is set to star in the movie "Major Movie Star," playing the role of a Marine Corps enlistee. Sounds like it should be called "Private Benjamin 2."

According to Variety, the pic is about a movie star who decides to enlist in the Marines to prove to movie producers that she is the right choice for an upcoming military-themed film. Simpson's character quickly realizes she has made a huge mistake, but decides to power through -- for the good of her country. Hilarity, no doubt, ensues.

A Canadian author is suing Universal Pictures and director Judd Apatow (who directed "40-Year-Old Virgin"), alleging that the story for the hit movie "Knocked Up" was taken directly from her book of the same name.

Rebecca Eckler claims that she shopped around her 2004 book to be made into a movie. In the middle of the process, she learned of the Apatow project. The script that was making the rounds, she alleges, had a picture of a martini glass with a pacifier around the stem -- the same as on the cover of her book.

Eckler, who told her tale in this month's Maclean's magazine, cites other similarities -- including the fact that the Katherine Heigl character is an up-and-coming television reporter, and the main character in Eckler's book is an up-and-coming newspaper reporter. She also says that the movie and book have a secondary female character in common -- the person that both main characters go to for advice -- and that both of the secondary characters have screaming children.

The lawsuit was filed in a federal court in January, alleging copyright infringement and seeking unspecified damages.

Judd Apatow, through his reps, released this statement: "The book 'Knocked Up' is very different than the film 'Knocked Up.' The book is about a woman who gets pregnant by the fiance that she loves on the night of her engagement party. The film is a very different story; the film is about a one-night stand between a pot smoking slacker and an ambitious young woman that leads to a pregnancy and their attempts to get to know each other. Anyone who reads the book and sees the movie will instantly know that they are two very different stories about a common experience."

Universal Pictures had no comment.

More than 20 years after they put their first hurtin' on the evil Mumm-Ra and his band of bad guys, Lion-O, Panthra, Snarf and the rest of the Thundercats are finally going to kick some ass on the big screen!!! Thundercats, hooooo!!!

Warner Bros. has put plans in motion to turn the cult '80s cartoon classic into a live-action project.

The upcoming adventure flick, set to be produced by Paula Weinstein, Dick Robertson and Lew Korman -- falls on the heels of plans to bring "He-Man" to theaters as well. By the power of Greyskull, what is going on here?

No timetable has been set yet for a release.

The "ET" critic and the rest of the press corps had to be wanded by security before making their way into the theater. And get this -- camera phones were banned! Were they expecting Maltin to bootleg 15-second clips of the movie on Limewire?

Alas, Maltin's credentials checked out and he joined the rest of the crowd to watch George Clooney and Brat Pitt cash a paycheck.
