Paris Hilton Set to Blast Into Space  8/28/06

Hotel heiress Paris Hilton is set to blast into space on Richard Branson's Virgin Enterprise rocket.

The blonde socialite has reportedly paid $195,000 for a place on the space shuttle - even though it hasn't been built yet.

But 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."
