William Shatner Embroiled In Spat Over TV Show
23 hours ago | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Star Trek icon William Shatner is caught up in a bizarre spat over a joke made by a panellist during his appearance as host of a British satirical TV news show.
The veteran actor took the presenter's chair on the BBC's Have I Got News for You on Friday, but a comment from a fellow guest has sparked a complaint from a member of the British Parliament (MP).
Referring to a recent story about the Olympic torch passing through the city of Truro in Cornwall, England, Shatner asked contestants, "What caused confusion in Truro?"
Funnyman Andy Hamilton replied, "Well, they're Cornish aren't they? They'll always be confused in Truro," but the remark has angered the MP for the region, Dan Rogerson.
He has lodged a complaint with the BBC and the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, and says, "Of course I like a joke as much as the next person, but on this occasion I can't help but feel that these comments wouldn't be tolerated if they were aimed at the Welsh, Scottish or indeed any other nationality or cultural minority." »
Supporting Actors: The Overlooked and Underrated (part 3 of 5)
24 May 2012 8:28 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Nicol Williamson as Merlin in Excalibur (John Boorman, 1981, UK):
Turning in by far the best acting in Boorman’s epic, Williamson sets the bar for all other interpretations of the Merlin character. Best known as an acclaimed stage actor with a history of incredibly unprofessional behavior, this is Williamson’s most memorable film role and will have you chanting the “charm of making” in no time.
Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty in Blade Runner (Ridley Scott, 1982, USA):
As an android seeking to prolong his short life, Hauer’s unique screen presence is perfectly utilized in director Scott’s atmospheric science fiction milestone. Hauer brings a sort of “alien” quality to the character Roy Batty and really makes this role a truly superior piece of casting.
Other notable Rutger Hauer performances: Nighthawks (Bruce Malmuth, 1981, USA), The Hitcher (Robert Harmon, 1986, USA).

Ashes Of James Doohan Released In Space
23 May 2012 3:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
The final wishes of former Star Trek actor James Doohan were honoured on Tuesday when his ashes were released into outer space.
The actor, who died in July, 2005, left specific instructions in his will to distribute his remains beyond Earth's atmosphere.
And, on Tuesday, a small urn containing a portion of Doohan's ashes was successfully sent into orbit via SpaceX's unmanned Falcon 9 rocket, which took off from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
According to ABC News, the rocket was part of an in-space-for-profit burial business and contained the ashes of over 300 individuals.
The capsule will remain in orbit for about a year before burning up as it attempts to make its return. »
Star Trek Star James "Scotty" Doohan's Ashes Finally Beamed Up

James Doohan has now gone where he's always wanted to go. When the actor better known as Scotty on the popular TV series Star Trek died in 2005, it was his wish to have his ashes sent into space. Well, after an earlier attempt was made to launch them back in 2008 failed, that dream became a reality on Tuesday when Doohan's remains were successfully sent into orbit via SpaceX's unmanned Falcon 9 rocket. Doohan, however, wasn't the only "celeb" to take off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station yesterday. Among the other 308 deceased individuals who had their ashes shot into the cosmos along with the USS Enterprise engineer was Gordon Cooper, who was one of the famous Mercury seven »

SpaceX rocket to carry the remains of sci-fi actor James Doohan and more than 300 hardcore space enthusiasts into space
Star Trek fans remember him as the USS Enterprise's chief engineer, a no-nonsense Scot whose role at the controls of the ship's transporter system spawned one of sci-fi's most legendary catchphrases.
On Tuesday however, it will be the turn of actor James Doohan himself to be "beamed up" to where few have ventured before when his remains, and that of more than 300 hardcore space enthusiasts, are blasted into orbit aboard a privately owned rocket.
Space Exploration Technologies' Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to lift off from Cape Canaveral in Florida carrying a 14.5-foot-tall (4.4-meter-tall) capsule called Dragon that is filled with food, clothes and supplies for the six astronauts and cosmonauts living aboard the International Space Station
The company, also known as SpaceX, replaced a faulty engine valve that triggered a last-second »

Dark Shadows – The Review
11 May 2012 12:11 AM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
The history of cinema has had many long-running actor/director partnerships. What first springs to my mind is the long collaboration between actor John Wayne and director John Ford, which has inspired several film books and documentaries. More recently we’ve had the Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro team-ups ( although Leonardo DiCaprio may just catch up to Mr. D ). And now we have the eighth film that actor Johnny Depp has done with director Tim Burton since they first paired all the way back in 1990 for Edward Scissorhands ( Wow! ). After films based on children’s books, a low-budget filmmaker’s life, and a Broadway musical what have the duo decided to tackle now? Why, it’s a classic cult TV show from the late 1960′s : Dark Shadows. What’s their take on this supernatural soap opera?.
Time for a bit of disclosure here. During its original run on ABC television, »

What You Need to Know About 'Dark Shadows'
8 May 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Even immortal vampire Barnabas Collins himself would find it a Herculean task to wade through all 1,225 episodes of the original "Dark Shadows" TV series. To put it in perspective, a new complete coffin-shaped DVD box set boasts a runtime of 30,000 hours, and that's without bathroom breaks.
The supernatural soap opera, which ran on ABC from 1966 to 1971, is now getting the full-on feature film treatment. "Dark Shadows" (the movie) has all the big-budget trimmings courtesy of director Tim Burton and his muse Johnny Depp as Barnabas. Before you devour the May 11 release, we've created an easy-breezy introduction to all the things you'll find lurking in the "Shadows."
Even though bloodsucker Barnabas is the everlasting icon of the show, he was not introduced until the 211th episode of the weekday soap. Up until that point the central character was a naïve young woman named Victoria Winters, a foundling with »

Star Trek's George Takei Donates In Hawaii Senate Race
7 May 2012 9:15 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Former "Star Trek" actor George Takei is helping Rep. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) prosper in Hawaii's U.S. Senate race by donating $500 to her campaign in the most recent fundraising period.
The Honolulu Civil Beat first reported on Takei's donation. Hirono also received support from Microsoft founder Bill Gates, actress and singer Barbra Streisand and a Washington, D.C.-based consultant named Linda A. Lingle.
Coincidentally, Hirono's Gop competitor for the open Senate seat is former Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle (not the same person). Lingle received donations from former Sens. John Danforth (R-Mo.) and Phil Gramm (R-Texas), as well as several members of the Marriott family.
Lingle also received $1,000 from conservative businessman Foster Friess, who bankrolled the pro-Rick Santorum super Pac. In February, he faced criticism for suggesting that women should just put a "Bayer Aspirin" between their knees as a form of contraception.

David Cameron Reveals His Celebrity Crush
3 May 2012 6:33 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
British Prime Minister David Cameron may be head-over-heels in love with his stylish wife, Samantha. But like every teen guy, he used to fancy another woman.
Much to our delight, the Pm got candid with Carol Vorderman for a recent interview with Tesco Magazine:
Carol: So make us laugh, who was your first celebrity crush?
David: I’m afraid, like everyone else, I think I had that poster of Cheryl Tiegs on my wall.
That white mesh bare-all poster or the shiny pink bikini poster? Either way: amazing. Plus, Cameron's in luck -- seems like Tiegs finally feels the same! Upon hearing the prime minister's revelation, Tiegs told the The Daily Telegraph, "Oh my God! I have a crush on him.”
The former Sports Illustrated cover girl added, "I think he's so smart and attractive. I do love a good British accent. It sort of melts my heart. This has caught me by surprise. »

Comicpalooza, Texas' premier comic book and pop culture convention, is gearing up for its Memorial Day weekend run in Houston (May 25–27). And while last year was great, this year there's something very special planned.
With a lineup crammed full of stars such as Michael Biehn (The Terminator, The Victim), Kevin Sorbo (Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Andromeda), Sean Patrick Flanery (The Boondock Saints), Claudia Christian (Babylon 5), George Takei (Star Trek) and Kristin Bauer (True Blood), the upcoming convention is already pretty extraordinary. But Comicpalooza founder John Simons has devised an event to make 2012's fest even more kickass...if that's even possible.
Simons had an epiphany recently. "The next best thing to being a sci-fi or action hero," Simons told me, "has to be shooting a sci-fi or action hero with a gun — or maybe being shot by one." And this simple thought led him to conceive a bit of »
