Starting this Summer, customers will finally be able to go the distance (literally) and hop on board the Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo for its very first test flights. "Customers will have a two-hour flight, go up to 70 miles above the Earth and experience amazing views of the planet, G forces, and weightlessness after a three-day training program," said a spokesperson from Virgin Galactic.

And not only that, but Sir Richard Branson will officiate a wedding ceremony 70 miles above the Earth on SpaceShipTwo. As adventurous and daring it may be to exchange nuptials in midair, a ticket for this flight is said to cost around $200,000 . . . hmm, new house or zero-gravity wedding? Tough call!

Paris is the latest to drop close to $200K for the chance to go into space, on a spaceship that hasn't even been built yet. She has reserved a spot on Richard Branson's spaceship he is hoping to build. So far a London-based advertising executive, an artist from Monaco and a 70-year-old who's skydived at the North Pole, plus a few others have signed up for the trip. Wonder if Paris knows she'll have to wear diapers for her big journey? Here's more:

Hilton may find the lack of luxury onboard a little trying as all passengers are required to wear diapers because there are no bathroom facilities on the shuttle. A source says, "She was a fan of the STAR WARS films and the idea of blasting into space thrills her, but I don't think she's done the research - the reality may not be her idea of fun."

Insert your leave Paris in space joke here. Will they leave her behind? Will she break her celibacy with an alien? My bet is this trip will never happen for Paris. More pics of Paris shopping, of course, so just read more
