KUALA LUMPUR — Virgin boss Richard Branson will serve as a flight attendant on an AirAsia X flight in February next year after losing a cross-dressing bet to rival Tony Fernandes, officials said.

The two men laid the wager over whose Formula One team would place higher in this year's rankings.

An AirAsia official said Branson would be required to wear makeup and high-heels, along with the regulation red stewardess outfit, and would have to perform regular duties -- including cleaning the toilets -- during the flight.

You really couldn't make this up!

Priceless.

The people who are hating on him for this are going to be hating it even more when it turns out that he's fantastic - pretty much like he is in just about everything else.

It's the best free PR deal I've seen in a long time.  And sure he'll do it up right, he's all about PR.  Standing between him and a camera has always been very dangerous.
