Northern Canadian Territory a Stars gas station

Posted on November 7th, 2006 in The scoop

The northern town of Iqaluit in the Canadian territory Nunavit has become a gas station to the stars. Iqaluit, population 6,500, is about halfway between Los Angeles and Europe and as a result often ends up being a short re-fueling pit stop for private jets.

Eric Leuthold, 34, runs the Frobisher Bay Touchdown Services, states that “some of the stars don’t even know where they are” when they touch down to fuel up at the station. However stars such as Paul Newman, Bruce Willis, Gwyneth Paltrow, Antonio Banderas, Arnold Schwarzenegger and many others have stepped out and explored the Baffin Island town while they are waiting.

Apparently, when actress Brooke Shields arrived a while back she expressed a desire to spend a night in an igloo. Since all of the residents live in modern housing just as you and I do they had to scramble to build her an igloo. There’s no word as to whether she enjoyed her night in an igloo or not.
