Paris Hilton is scared of going into space - in case she doesn't return for 10,000 years.

The socialite is one of many celebrities - believed to include singer Moby, "Star Trek" star William Shatner and "Alien" actress Sigourney Weaver - hoping to board Richard Branson's first-ever commercial space flight, Virgin Galactic, but admits she is worried about going into orbit.

Patrick Swayze "will be resilient" in his battle against pancreatic cancer, says his former co-star Lea Thompson.

The actress - who starred alongside Patrick in the 1984 action film 'Red Dawn' - thinks the 55-year-old will beat the disease despite it having a survival rate of less than five percent.

William Shatner has never watched Star Trek. The award-winning actor who became a household name for playing Captain Kirk in the hit TV show and subsequent movies claims he had never watched the show himself.

William, 76, confesses to The Mirror that he thinks he sucks at acting in the sci-fi series and he can't bear to watch himself.
