Ashton Kutcher is in line to travel into space.
The “Two and a Half Men” star has officially signed up to take a trip into space, Virgin Galactic’s billionaire founder announced in a blog post, according to .
“I gave Ashton a quick call to congratulate and welcome him,” Richard Branson wrote. “He is as thrilled as we are at the prospect of being among the first to cross the final frontier (and back!) with us and to experience the magic of space for himself.”
The ride on Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo rocket plane, also known as the VSS Enterprise, will cost the actor $200,000, according to MSNBC.com.
No launch date has been set yet, but the SpaceShipTwo is reportedly going to be ready for test flights sometime later this year.
“Ashton is joining a fast expanding group of true pioneers who are on their way to a life changing experience and a place in the history books,” Branson continued. “It’s great to have him on board.”
Jennifer Aniston says she spends nowhere near the claim of $141,000 a year for beauty treatments.
The actress says, despite a recent report on the website Shine tallying the beauty regimens she supposedly pays for, it’s really more like “a couple hundred” a month.
“Although I am a sucker for an amazing moisturizer, love a great facial, have been using the same cleansing bar since I was a teenager and have always been a dedicated tooth-brusher, reports that I am spending eight thousand a month on a beauty regime are greatly exaggerated,” she told People. “By my tally,” continues Aniston, “this month I’m in for about two hundred bucks.”
The website claimed that she spent upwards of $8,000 a month on her skincare, hair, and body maintenance.
But while Aniston denied getting face products that cost up to $450 a bottle, she didn’t mention hair costs, which Shine estimated at $920 a month, or her private yoga classes and the nutritionist who makes her meals. The website said the food would cost over $5,000 a month.
Jon Hamm stopped just short of the robotic-sounding quote: “How about a nice game of chess?”
Hamm cried uncle in his spat with Kim Kardashian over the relative worth of celebrity culture, saying he “won’t play.”
The star of “Mad Men” said, “I’ve come to the realization that ‘WarGames’ had it correct in 1983,” Hamm told . “The only way to win is not to play. So that’s all I’ve got to say about that now.”
Hamm found himself in a war with the reality star after he made remarks about her in an interview with Elle UK. In it he said, “Whether it’s Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated.”
He added, “Being a f—– idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you’re rewarded significantly.”
The star of the reality series “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” called his remarks “careless.”
After several days of reports about the exchanges, he said he’s moving beyond the tiff.
Jamie Waylett, who played Hogwarts bully Vincent Crabbe in the “Harry Potter” movies, has been sentenced to two years in a British prison for his role in the London riots last year.
Police said they believed Waylett was armed with a Molotov cocktail while looting champagne from a drug store during the London riots last August, TMZ reports.
Waylett was later identified by video footage after the incident and cops eventually arrested him on Sept. 20.
Waylett, who has a previous conviction on record stemming from a drug-related incident, was found guilty of “violent disorder” but he was acquitted on the charge of intending to destroy property with a fire bomb.
No word on when Waylett is expected to begin his sentence.
