JAPANESE BILLIONAIRE CANCELS “GIRLFRIEND TO THE MOON” SEARCH

The Japanese billionaire looking for a girlfriend to take with him on a private trip to the Moon has canceled his search. Fashion tycoon Yusaku Maezawa cited “mixed feelings” about participating – weeks after opening online applications for the bizarre contest. The 44-year-old had declared he was seeking a woman to become his girlfriend for a documentary about their trip into space. He wrote, “I want to find a ‘life partner.’ I want to shout our love and world peace from outer space.” Applicants were told they must “be interested in going into space and able to participate in the preparation for it” and “be someone who wishes for world peace.” Almost 28,000 people applied. Maezawa said he was “extremely remorseful” about the decision to end the search.
* If there’s a better way to find true love, I’d like to hear it.
* Ground Control to Major Weirdo.
* I’m sure Richard Branson has some extra space groupies he could send over.
* Has he tried making an EDM song? That seems to make other billionaires happy. (See Elon Musk story in Celebrity News)
