Paris fears space flight will be one-way ticket

Paris Hilton will be among the passengers on Richard Branson's first Virgin spaceflight - if she can overcome her fears that the blast-off will be a one-way deal.

The socialite has revealed she has booked a seat on the Virgin Enterprise Rocket, which is set to take celebrities and millionaires into space next year, but she's worried she might not come back.

Hilton says: "I'm very scared to do it. What if I don't come back?

"With the whole light-years thing, what if I come back 10,000 years later, and everyone I know is dead? I'll be like: 'Great. Now I have to start all over.'"

Madonna, Tom Hanks, Moby, Victoria Principal and actor Justin Berfield are among the other celebrities set to blast off with Branson, according to reports.
