RICHARD BRANSON WENT TO SPACE
Richard Branson made his space flight yesterday basically becoming the first guy to build his own rocket and blast himself into orbit. At 71, he's also the second-oldest guy in space. John Glenn was 77 when he went up on the shuttle in 1998.
Branson's Virgin Galactic flight went 53 miles above the New Mexico desert, achieving weightlessness for three to four minutes. The ship had five other crew members.
Branson was originally supposed to go up later this summer, but he moved his flight up after Jeff Bezos announced HE was going up there on July 20th. Branson claims he was NOT trying to outdo Bezos ... sure.
Bezos sent his congratulations to Branson on Instagram and said, quote, "Can't wait to join the club." Branson live-streamed the event with Stephen Colbert as master of ceremonies, and Khalid performing his new single,"New Normal".

SCOOTER BRAUN & WIFE SEPARATED
Scooter Braun’s business career may be going well, but the same can’t be said for his personal life. Scooter, who manages JustinBieber, Ariana Grande and more (and is the sworn enemy of Taylor Swift), has reportedly separated from his wife.
According to the “New York Post,” Scooter and his wife-of-seven-years Yael Cohen Braun, are taking a break, although divorce isn’t in their imminent plans, and they are still living together.
Although insiders say those close to them have known about the separation for over a month, just last week Scooter marked their seventh wedding anniversary by posting photos of their wedding.
Scooter and Yael are parents to three kids, six-year-old Jagger, four-year-old Levi and two-year-old Hart.
