HOUSTON (AP) — The wife of renowned evangelical pastor Joel Osteen acted like a combative diva when a small spill on her airline seat was not immediately cleaned up, a flight attendant who was also on the plane testified Thursday.Twenty-six girls attending a cheerleading camp at the University of Texas campus in Austin got stuck and had to be rescued after trying to squeeze into an elevator at a residence hall Tuesday night. According to the AP, Ms. lawyer, Rusty Hardin, said the claims were false and called described what happened as a "minor incident." Continental Airlines flight attendant Sharon Brown alleges Victoria Osteen threw her against a bathroom door and elbowed her in the left breast during an angry outburst over some spilled liquid on her first-class seat. Brown claims Victoria Osteen became so upset she tried to get into the cockpit and had to be physically restrained. About 42,000 people flock to Lakewood Church every week to hear Victoria Osteen's husband Joel Osteen, whose weekly television address is broadcast nationally and internationally and whose books have been sold across the globe. Federal prosecutors have decided not to pursue a possible criminal case into how "Dark Knight" actor Heath Ledger obtained the powerful painkillers that contributed to his fatal overdose this year, a law-enforcement official said Wednesday. Prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan had been overseeing a Drug Enforcement Administration investigation into whether the painkillers found in Ledger's system were obtained illegally. A jury was seated in Houston on Wednesday in a lawsuit alleging that Victoria Osteen, wife of nationally known pastor Joel Osteen, assaulted a flight attendant. Continental Airlines flight attendant Sharon Brown accuses Victoria Osteen of assaulting her before the start of a 2005 flight from Houston to Vail, Colo., during an outburst over a stain on her first-class seat. The Federal Aviation Administration fined Victoria Osteen $3,000 in the case.
