United Finds Wiring Problem On 787

United Airlines has found a wiring problem on one of its Boeing 787 jets, an issue that affects the same system that caused a fire aboard a Japan Airlines 787 in Boston on Monday, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a source.

The airline found improperly installed wiring in electrical components associated with the auxiliary power unit, the Journal reported. United examined the components after the fire on Monday, which took the Japan Airlines jet out of service.

United spokeswoman Christen David said United inspected its 787s after the Boston incident, but she declined to confirm the Journal report or to discuss the results of the inspections.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West on babymoon

Since announcing her pregnancy to the world last month Kim Kardashian has been in the spotlight even more than usual.

And that’s saying something.

With this is mind, Kim and boyfriend Kanye West decided it a good idea to take a break and relax with a trip to Paris

A source told USMagazine.com that the two were hoping to relax during stay in the capital “for a week just to chill. It’s a babymoon.”

Just because you’re mega famous and uber rich doesn’t mean you can start making things up.

We’re pretty sure there is no such thing as a babymoon.

What you are on guys is called a holiday.

The two were pictured leaving their hotel together yesterday looking rather glum.

Come on guys you’re on your ‘babymoon’ in Paris, cheer up!

Kim Kardashian donned a baby bump hiding all black outfit which included a rather large cape that wouldn’t have looked out of place on Batman.

The two spent the day perusing designer shops including Lavin and Celine before going for dinner at L’avenue restaurant.

It was reported recently that the couple had purchased an $11 million mansion in Bel Air together.

Not being ones to waste any time, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have already started developing the property which will allegedly include a gym, movie theatre, bowling alley, hair and make-up salon, indoor and outdoor pool and their own basketball court.

They should probably also start thinking about installing a nursery too.

Virgin Atlantic Names New Chief Executive

Virgin Atlantic has confirmed American Airlines' executive Craig Kreeger as new chief executive to replace Steve Ridgway, who is due to depart in March.

Kreeger will join Virgin Atlantic on February 1 after 27 years at American Airlines, where he worked closely with the US carrier's transatlantic partner and Virgin's major rival British Airways.

Virgin's new chief executive spent six years based in London up to last year as American's senior vice-president for international operations.

He was appointed senior 'customer' vice-president at American last year.

Ridgway said: "I'm very pleased to welcome Craig Kreeger to Virgin Atlantic as the new CEO. He will be taking over at a time when the airline enters a new phase - with the Delta deal to implement [and] the commencement of short-haul competition for BA on UK domestic routes."

Kreeger said: "I am delighted to be taking on the role of Virgin Atlantic’s chief executive. It is a great airline renowned for its customer service and innovation.

Rihanna, Chris Brown and Second Chance

Rihanna and Chris Brown's relationship may well be the single most complicated situation between any two humans. Ever.

The last time we checked, Rihanna and Chris Brown were happily back together. However, just a couple of days ago Chris was pictured hanging out with his ex girlfriend, Karrueche Tran - the one he dumped because of his 'friendship' with Rihanna.

Confused yet?

The pair spent the day hanging out at a trade show, with Karrueche later tweeting that her day had been 'pretty awesome."

Now Rihanna has taken to Twitter to post a series of cryptic messages which we're assuming relate to the sudden friendship between Chris and his ex, the most telling of which is about second chances.

Rihanna tweeted an image of the words: "I believe in second chances. I just don't think everyone deserves them."

We're unsure whether this tweet IS aimed at Chris Brown (because he's on his 985th chance) but we're crossing our fingers and toes that it is.

Rihanna then went on a cross sweary rampage saying: "Watch what you say to/about people! Cuz you only wind up dragging your skeletons out your own closet...!"

We're not really sure what's going on, but we definitely hope this spells the end of Chris Brown and Rihanna's relationship. For all of our sakes.

Boeing 787 Fire Renews Aviation Safety Concerns

Fire broke out on an empty Boeing 787 Dreamliner jet parked at a gate in Boston on Monday, putting safety concerns about the new, carbon-composite jet back in the spotlight and drawing attention from federal investigators.

Officials said the fire started when a battery in the Japan Airlines jet's auxiliary power system exploded around 10:30 am EST, shortly after passengers deplaned.

A mechanic inspecting the jet discovered smoke in the cockpit while performing a routine post-flight inspection and reported it to authorities at Boston's Logan Airport, officials said.

"Japan Airlines spokeswoman Carol Anderson later said smoke was not discovered in the cockpit. "Smoke was initially discovered by a maintenance staff in the rear end of the cabin, and confirmed by another maintenance staff who also detected smoke outside the aircraft," she said in an email.

The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are looking into what caused the problem, which came just weeks after Boeing endured a string of other electrical problems that briefly grounded three 787s. The new jet also has suffered an engine failure and fuel leaks in the 14 months it has been in service.
