It was announced at the San Diego Comic-Con that Leonard Nimoy will reprise his role as Spock in Star Trek XI. Also, it was announced that Zachary Quinto, from the show Heroes, will play the young Spock in the film. JJ Abrams also shared that Shatner will be in the film even though the young Kirk had not been cast. The movie will be released Christmas 2008.

William Shatner has refused a free space trip on the inaugural flight of Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic in 2008. Coincidentally, the ship will be named the VSS Enterprise, as a tribute to "Star Trek." Shatner was quoted by The Sun as saying, "I'm interested in man's march into the unknown but to vomit in space is not my idea of a good time. Neither is a fiery crash with the vomit hovering over me." Kirk is apparently turning into a pussy in his old age. Of course, he'll look like a genius if the inaugural flight does turn into a pyrotechnic display.

William Shatner went where "no man has gone before" today by selling his own kidney stone to a casino for $25,000 then donating the proceeds to Habitat for Humanity. GoldenPalace.com, the same casino that bought a piece of toast with the image of the Virgin Mary in 2004, bought the kidney stone for $25,000 after Shatner rejected their initial offer of $10,000. Oh, how I wish I could sell any bodily function for just $1, let alone $25,000! This is reason number 1,242 of why it's cool to be Kirk.
