"Superstar Stranded: Hollywood A-Listers Left in Limbo After Venezuela Crisis"
The ongoing crisis in Venezuela has turned paradise into a nightmare for some of Tinseltown's biggest stars. As the US military launched airstrikes on Saturday to seize President Nicolás Maduro, airspace was closed around South America, grounding commercial flights and private jets carrying A-list celebrities like Queen Latifah, Mike Tyson, Natalie Portman, and Leonardo DiCaprio.
The luxury resorts of St. Barts and Anguilla were transformed into a makeshift detention center, with the likes of Cuba Gooding Jr. and girlfriend Claudine DeNiro stuck on the island, awaiting rescue. Social media was flooded with pleas for help from stranded travelers, including New York nightlife king Richie Akiva, who organized an impromptu party to lift spirits.
Despite efforts by high-powered friends like Jeff Bezos and David Guetta's ex-Cathy, many were left waiting in limbo, unable to fly out of the Caribbean. "Everyone's been taking the boat to Anguilla, only to be turned away, and sent back [to St. Barts or St. Martin]," a source revealed.
The situation was dire enough that New York hospitality and nightlife experts took to social media, seeking people to join group charter flights out of the area. Meanwhile, movie star Natalie Portman's work commitments were weighing heavily on her mind, with the Golden Globes just around the corner.
As for DiCaprio, he managed to escape St. Barts just in time to roast his friend Chelsea Handler at the Critics Choice Awards, quipping "It was just like the Titanic, but worse … because Jeff Bezos was there." But even he wasn't immune from the crisis, with his flight grounded due to the Venezuelan chaos.
For those still stranded, including Portman, it seems the party's over – for now. As one insider put it, "Portman has a lot of work commitments to get back to this week," adding that the biggest commitment was the Golden Globes, where she's nominated for "Arco."

. I mean, Queen Latifah and Mike Tyson, who would've thought they'd be grounded by a plane crash or something 
. And Natalie Portman's work commitments are on her mind too? Like, I get it, the Golden Globes is coming up, but seriously, can't she just take off in a private jet like everyone else? 
The situation's pretty dire for those stuck there. I mean, I'd rather be stuck on a deserted island than St. Barts 
.
.
? 
it's like a luxury suite with a private beach 
what's up w/ that?!
but at the end of the day, these celebs should b worried bout gettin back 2 work & not just themselves 
. I mean, who gets stuck in limbo because of some crazy situation? Queen Latifah and Natalie Portman are literally working actresses and they're stuck on a island with no way out... that's just not cool 
Like, what even is the point of being rich if you can't fly wherever you want? 
i thought it was like super peaceful and stuff. is it true that some hollywood ppl got stuck there? queen latifah?! how did that even happen? 
guess jeff bezos and david guetta's ex can't save everyone from this mess
