BIG APPLE BUZZ
BY FLO ANTHONY
Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson
is not going to be on Blue Origin’s
next space flight after the company
pushed back their launch date by six days,
reports CNN.
The launch of the Jeff Bezos-owned company’s
rocket originally set for March 23 is
now slated to fly on March 29, the company
said in a tweet on March 17.
“Blue Origin’s next flight of New Shepard
has shifted to Tuesday, March 29. Pete Davidson
is no longer able to join the crew on this
mission. We will announce the sixth crew
member in the coming days,” the tweet said.
Meanwhile, Davidson was photographed
picking up his girlfriend Kim Kardashian
in a black Mercedes-Benz at LAX airport on
March 19 as she returned from throwing a
huge bash in Miami to celebrate her SKIMS
Swim line. According to the Daily Mail, once
inside The King of Staten Island actor’s car,
the couple were seen “passionately locking
lips” as the mom-of-four kids with Kanye
West, placed her hands on his face. Who
needs outer space when you have all that action
going on?……..
Plenty of laughs
