Buzz Aldrin eliminated from 'Dancing'
LOS ANGELES, April 7 (UPI) -- Former astronaut Buzz Aldrin has become the second celebrity booted from the current season of the U.S. competition series "Dancing with the Stars."
Actress Shannen Doherty last week was the first competitor voted off of Season 10 of the show.
"I did this show for the fighter pilots out there, the military people and the elder geezers like me who would just like to see an elder come back week after week," Aldrin, 80, said Tuesday night upon learning he and his professional dance partner, Ashly DelGrosso, were eliminated from the competition. "But I'm interested also in having the public be thankful for the great successes we had in the Apollo program and look forward to even greater successes in our future space program. That's why I came onboard to take the challenge and take the risk and I thank everyone who voted for us."
Bullock shoots down sex-tape story
LOS ANGELES, April 7 (UPI) -- Hollywood actress Sandra Bullock says an Internet report claiming she made a sex tape with her now-estranged husband Jesse James is untrue.
The news comes about three weeks after a tattoo model and stripper announced she had a long-term affair with James while he was married. Several other women have since come forward to claim they, too, had sex with James during his five-year marriage to the best-actress Oscar winner.
Bullock reportedly has moved out of the home she shared with James and his three children from previous relationships.
"There is no sex tape," Bullock said in a statement to People.com Tuesday. "There never has been one and there never will be one."
Bullock's remarks were in response to an online report claiming James had the tape in his possession and planned to use it against her in a possible divorce case, People.com said.
The statement was the first the actress has personally made regarding the many salacious stories surrounding her marriage.
