Get Buzzed this August for $9k

Celebrities losing weight is so 20th century; the hot new trend is going totally weightless! We told you about Joey Fatone taking a Zero G flight for his 31st birthday back in February, and now the anti-gravity flight provider has even raised the bar for those willing to spend $9,000.

On August 17, Zero G will host a flight out of Las Vegas for a select 16 people--the normal load is 35--with one very special guest, astronaut Buzz Aldrin. With more room to float freely for 30 seconds at a time, the lucky crew can mingle with Buzz and ask him about all the wild stuff he did when he was weightless for hours at a time.

We can think of what we'd want to do weightless in a plane, and it's dirty. If you're paying nine grand, we'd be hoping for a bit more excitement than throwing chips at each other from across the cabin!
