This Monday the company Virgin Atlantic unveiled the world’s first commercial space craft that can take well paying customers on a tour into outer space for a humble price of only $200,000. Named SpaceShip Two, this billion dollar project is an update of the original SpaceShip One ,that earned designer Burt Rutan a $10 million dollar prize and title of first privately manned craft to go into space.

The company plans to start sending up amateur astronauts within the next 3 years. The trip will be preceded by 3 days of training and would take about 2 1/5 hours. During the trip passengers would experience about 5 minutes of weightlessness. Supposedly the waiting list is already 300 people deep. So if you want something new to brag on one day start saving, sell your house, and go to space…everyone’s gonna be doing it (or not).

Tiger Opts Out Of His Own Tournament

The most famous and wealthy (can you say $$$Billionaire???) athlete in the world has been the center of media attention for the last week, since rumors circulating his personal life and reports of a mysterious car crash at 2 AM on the day after Thanksgiving hit the media. The timing of the crash was crucial, less than 1 week before the Tiger Woods sponsored “Chevron World Challenge” tournament which Woods has now stated he will not golf again until 2010 due to injuries sustained in the accident.

To anyone who might have been watching CNN or Sports Center last Friday morning you might have noticed how the incident played out in reverse of the tragic loss of Michael Jackson just a few months ago. In less than 1 hour reports about the incident completely changed. At first the only info given was that Tiger was injured in a car crash outside his home and was in “Critical Condition” in a hospital. Slowly details emerged that he hit a hydrant and a tree, then that his wife had pulled him out unconscious, until finally he was barely injured at all and left with minor cuts on his face.

Since then police and reporters have failed to get an interview from Woods on the details of the crash and why it happened. We may never know but the good thing is he’s alive and well and hopefully will be able to get past this and catch Jack Nicholson in the Green Jacket race.

Paula Deen catches the Ham

I believe this particular pass play is called the Ham Mary.  During a charity event yesterday in which celebrity chef Paula Deen was helping to unload 25,000 pounds of meat at an Atlanta food bank, one of the workers needed a football break. He threw a ham to her. Actually, at her. He hit Deen in the face.

“I haven’t met the ham that could stop me yet!”

It seems just like yesterday, Taylor Swift was accepting her award at the MTV Awards and Kanye West runs onto stage to spoil the party.  But now since thats all said and done, Taylor Swift couldn’t be more happy w/ the direction of her career.  She racked up awards at the County Music Awards and topped the American Music Awards (AMA’s) w/ 5 awards including Artist of the Year.  The next big winner was Michael Jackson as the deceased King of Pop won 4 awards last night.  Other highlights of the evening included: Janet Jackson’s show opening routine featuring her number 1 hits and tribute to her brother; a raunchy performance by Adam Lambert; an eye-popping performance by Lady Gaga; Rihanna & Shakira both w/ cyborg performances; Eminem’s performance w/ help from labelmate 50 Cent, Mary J Blige w/ her elegant performance, and a special award given to Whitney Houston.
