William Shatner Is Back For Some More Wasilla Poetry
As you all know, I've been following the prolific tweeting of Levi Johnston (or the person who pretends to be Levi Johnston!). His 140-character musings are sometimes offensive, sometimes funny, and consistently random. You might also remember that master of spoken word recitation William Shatner went on Conan O'Brien's show a while back to read Sarah Palin's Twitter poetry.
William Shatner Reads Palin's Tweets — I Mean, Poems
It appears that these writers aren't the only ones who think Sarah Palin is a poet. Conan O'Brien proclaims she is a master of free verse because of her creative use of language. Conan recently invited the one and only William Shatner onto his show to recite her farewell speech, then brought Shatner back on Wednesday to recite her Tweets.
Should William Shatner Have Been in the New Star Trek?
During the run-up to the premiere of J.J. Abrams's wildly successful Star Trek reboot, William Shatner was not shy about expressing how hurt he was to be left out of the movie.
Recently, two of the movie's writers said in an interview that there was a scene written for him originally.
First Glance: Star Trek — See It or Skip It?
There's been a lot of talk and anticipation about the upcoming release of Star Trek — not out until May 2009 — based on the classic TV series. Eric Bana, Winona Ryder, Simon Pegg, Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto star in this update, which sees Chris in William Shatner's role as Captain Kirk and Zachary as Dr Spock. Check out the trailer below and tell me if you'll see the movie — and look out for the original Dr Spock Leonard Nimoy towards the end.Shatner Is Crazy Like the Wolf!
How many crazy remixes are people going to make of William Shatner driving 160 mph? Who knows, but I don't want them to stop! Here's some Warren Zevon thrown into the mix.

Mad Men Holds Court at TCA
The centerpiece of Wednesday's presentations at the TCA press tour was the panel discussion with the cast and creator of Mad Men. More than a few critics who were in the room called the session a total lovefest, and it's easy to understand why. Creator Matthew Weiner is legendarily tight-lipped with details about plot twists, but he and his actors did let a few tidbits slip in the session:
- Season two, which starts later this month, will pick up in February 1962, 14 months after the season one finale.
- As the show goes on, we can get used to those kinds of time jumps: Weiner has "a five-year plan" for covering the '60s, ending up in roughly 1968 by season five (though Weiner insists there's no plan set in stone for the series and its storylines).
- In the season's second episode, Pete Campbell will suffer a major tragedy, and the script will be about how someone reacts to bad news versus how they should react.
- The cast still only rarely gets recognized on the street, but one of the biggest tragedies for the female cast members is that they can't wear their own favorite vintage clothes anymore lest someone think they're in costume.
- The interaction that seems to best sum up Weiner's attitude about spoilers: Question: What would you say to the viewers who will tune into the premiere and will want to know immediately what happened with Peggy and the baby?
What Will William Shatner Name His My Little Pony?
This AP story first caught my eye because the headline is so funny — especially with the image of a My Little Pony: "Sunshine, rainbows, James Spader?"
Sunshine, rainbows, James Spader, indeed. Apparently, cast members of Boston Legal (does this TV show choice seems random to you, too?) will design My Little Ponies to be auctioned off for the Give Kids The World charity "as part of a celebration of the toy's 25th anniversary."
Why Eat Pudding?
Cuz everyone's eating it. Bill Cosby eats pudding. William Shatner eats pudding.
