Simon Cowell wants his next singing contestant winner to 'perform in space.'
The music mogul is partnering up with Virgin businessman Richard Branson to send the next Britain's Got Talent winner above the atmosphere.
Richard's company has just built Virgin Galactic, a 2500mph spaceship that goes just above the earth's atmosphere, giving passengers a weightless ride.
British newspaper the Mirror reports that Simon wants his triumphant act to be one of the first people to board the ship.
'We are trying to work out a way so that the winner of the show gets to go up in the spacecraft and will be the first person to perform in space,' Simon explained on a UK television broadcast this week. "I am being serious, I swear to God. You could be the first singer or dog act, whatever, performing in space.'
Simon is interested in boarding the spaceship himself. He has always been interested in the sidereal.
'I would go on the spaceship myself,' Simon gushed. 'I love the idea that, if they are up for it, they have the option of performing in front of the whole planet in space. It can't be compulsory, but it will happen.'
The Virgin Galactic will be available for space flights as early as 2013.
The sixth season of Britain's Got Talent will premiere in April.

Britney Spears is planning a 'tropical' wedding at the end of the summer.

The singer got engaged to Jason Trawick in December and is hoping to tie the knot with him later this year.

She has been married twice before so contrary to previous reports has decided against having a lavish party and instead wants it to be small but special.

'It's going to be a very intimate wedding with only immediate family and very, very close friends,' a source told RadarOnline.com.

'It will probably be a destination wedding in a very warm, tropical location. There is absolutely no drama with the planning of the wedding and Britney will probably wear an off-white dress that will show off her killer bod. Britney's sons are absolutely going to be a part of the ceremony as ring bearers, and Jason has something very special planned for the boys that will take place during the wedding.'

The site also claimed the pair are planning to marry before the warm summer months end.

It's previously been claimed the music superstar wants her nuptials to have a country theme. She was thought to be considering tying the knot in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana, and hoped to achieve a relaxed vibe.

'She wants a traditional Southern-style wedding with comfort food, surrounded by her family, her two sons and all of her childhood friends, as opposed to a Hollywood wedding,' an insider claimed last year.

Lady Gaga and her boyfriend are planning to buy two homes together.

The star has been dating Taylor Kinney since July of last year, but only recently stepped out in public with him.

Although they have only just entered the limelight as a couple they are rumoured to be ready to buy property together.

There has been speculation Gaga was purchasing a £1.1 million property in Pennsylvania for them to live in, but their plans are apparently bigger than that.

'They've been looking for two places ' one near his parents in Pennsylvania and one in the Big Apple,' a source told British newspaper The Sun.

It's unknown how big they want their New York accommodation to be. Gaga hails from the city and has regularly spoken of her love for it. She still spends a lot of time at her mother and father's home there.

Gaga and Taylor have worked hard to keep their relationship low key after meeting on the set of the promo for her track Yoü and I. Rather than staying in lavish hotels, the 24-year-old singer has often opted to stay in the beach shack Taylor shares with three friends.

Further proof that drumming is great exercise...71-year-old Charlie Watts is ready and willing for another Rolling Stones tour.

Watts told BBC 6 that it's more about the logistics that the will as far as the members of the group go. "Ronnie plays, I still play, Mick sings, he can do it anyway, I think Keith is doing some records. Anyway it would be great if we did, we are just getting to an age where it's getting a bit difficult to get it together and it's such a bloody performance getting us together."

He also addressed why the band has been together for half of a century. "I think no one wants to quit because the other one will say you quit."

A tour would be their first in five years, since 2007's Bigger Bang trek which set the North American Record with receipts of $162 million.

For the record, Watts is the elder Stone at 71. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are both 68 and Ronnie Wood is 64.
