So you know how Lakewood Church pastors Joel and Victoria Osteen have taken a vow of poverty, right? Yeah, yeah, we're kidding — but if you're anything like Houstonist, you've wondered at one time or another exactly how much the Osteens are worth. (Go ahead, admit it.) Turns out we're not the only ones: Reginald McKamie, the attorney for Continental flight attendant Sharon Brown, asked a judge yesterday to make the Osteens' net worth public...

Things are apparently progressing — slowly — in the lawsuit against Victoria Osteen filed in September: The Chronicle is reporting that the attorney for a flight attendant accusing Osteen, the wife of Lakewood Church pastor Joel Osteen, of assault wants to have the interior of the airplane where the incident occurred photographed. This all goes back to Dec. 19, 2005, when Osteen reportedly went ballistic about some liquid that had been spilled on her first-class...

Can it really have been a year since Victoria Osteen's airplane tantrum? How time flies! Fortunately, we won't have to go through the 2006 holiday season without more wacky on-board antics. Unfortunately, Mrs. Osteen isn't involved this time — instead, it's a guy names Nboru Akao, who is expected to appear in federal court today after making a jackass of himself on a flight yesterday.

More details emerge as the news of Victoria Osteen's hissy on a Colorado-bound airplane spreads like wildfire across the globe. From the Houston Chronicle: At least some people aboard the Continental Airlines flight were less than pleased after waiting about two hours at Bush Intercontinental Airport while the Osteens left the plane and their luggage was removed, said a woman who witnessed the incident. "She was just abusive," said Sheila Steele, who said she was...

Joel Osteen's life must be pretty tough. Not only does he have to run the nation's largest church, keep up with the demands of a rigorous television and personal appearance schedule, maintain his preternaturally well-groomed image and rake in tons of money, but he also has to find time here and there to try to bring us all closer to God.
