Former model Claudia Barilla is the girlfriend of Canadian billionaire and Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte. Barilla was on hand, tears streaming down her face, when Laliberte blasted off into space on a Soyuz spacecraft bound for the International Space Station on September 30, 2009. Liliberte is the seventh "space tourist" to go into orbit in the last several years and the first from Canada.http://www.huliq.com/3257/87128/billionaire-clown-heads-outer-space http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/09/30/laliberte-space.html
