Sigourney Weaver - Weaver Makes Bid For Space Travel

Actress SIGOURNEY WEAVER is begging Virgin tycoon SIR RICHARD BRANSON to let her be next celebrity to venture into space.

The Aliens star has been inspired by Branson's adventurous pursuits, including hot-air balloon flights and space travel under his Virgin banner.

And she admits that a rumour she was planning space travel actually inspired her to try it out for real.

Weaver says, "I'd love to go (to space). Sure, if I had the opportunity. I read somewhere that I was going... I apparently was on the passenger list. I was apparently on the invitation (from Branson)."

But the actress has a back-up plan if she never receives the alleged call from the Virgin boss. She muses, "I'm building my own (spaceship) in my backyard."

British entrepreneur Branson signed a $28 million (GBP14million) agreement in 2004 to have five Virgin Galactic 'spaceliners' built in the U.S. A trip on the first privately developed carrier is estimated to cost $200,000 (GBP100,000)

Warren G - Warren G Denies Drugs Were His

LATEST: Rapper WARREN G has protested his innocence over his weekend drug possession arrest, insisting he had nothing to do with the marijuana found in the car he was travelling in.

The Regulate hitmaker - real name Warren Griffin III - and his friend Ryan Butler were pulled over by cops in Hollywood in the early hours of Sunday (09Jun08) after they ran a red light. Police found a large stash of the drug and arrested both men for possession and intent to sell.

The pair has now been released on $20,000 (GBP10,000) bail - but Warren G claims he is not the guilty party.

His representative tells website TMZ.com, "They were in the Hollywood area for Kanye (West)'s party. He was a passenger asleep in the front seat when the car was pulled over.

"Whatever was found wasn't his, it was in the car."

Bulletproof, Dark Times - Desperate Measures

Herald rating: * * * *Label: Uprising/CyanideVerdict: Music that makes you bulletproof and want to save the worldBrrr, it's cold outside. The world is a dark place. But never fear, Auckland drum 'n' bass missionary Bulletproof is dead set on saving us. He's the d 'n' b Marvin Gaye who's come to save the children.With a berserk mix of brutal beats, pummelling ebbs and flows, and smouldering soundscapes, his second album is a call to arms. And along the way you can dance your arse off, which is one way to warm up in these dark times.In contrast to 2007 debut Shake The Foundations, which was a collection of tracks gathered over six or so years, Dark Times - Desperate Measures is a more focused and cohesive album.The two title tracks - Desperate Measures and Dark Times (with a fiery Tiki Taane guest spot) - erupt in a flail of beats, oscillating frequencies, and verbal sparring. There's the nicely mangled Wreckage, which will separate your upper body from your legs if you're not careful, while the lighter flow of Line Of Sight and the darker dubstep moments of Syria and Repeat Offender mean the album is a beautifully balanced beast.

There's nothing particularly revolutionary about Bulletproof's musical approach but it's solid, propulsive and emotive.And compared to Australian drum 'n' bass outfit Pendulum's latest album, it's like a brick wall rather than a fancy, flimsy trellis.
