The latest on N Sync singer Lance Bass and his mission to go into space. Despite NASA clearing him for the mission the Russian Space Agency have now said the trip is definitely off because he still hasn't handed over the $20m (£12.8m) he needs to pay to undertake the expedition. The Russian Space Agency told the BBC Bass had been asked to leave the cosmonaut training programme, citing "crude violations" of his contract. But Jeff Manbar, president of Mir-Corp, which had been working on behalf of Bass, insisted it was not the end of the singer's dream and that negotiations were still ongoing.
