William Shatner and Calgary Mayor

It’s not that Capt. Kirk, Spock, and Sulu are not big in themselves, but how about seeing the entire principal cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation all in one go?

Now tell get hold of yourself, and take control of that heart beating out of control – if you haven’t fallen out of your chair yet!

Come April 28, Trekkie participants and visitors of the Calgary Comic Expo will be in for what might be the biggest treat of their lives. Slated for the expo are Star Trek: The Next Generation cast members Sir Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, Wil Wheaton, LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Marina Sirtis, Gates McFadden, and Denise Crosby. This is making me think about a real little Sheldon Cooper somewhere out there already planning on how to get to Alberta by whatever means possible. Let’s hope that Wil Wheaton actually really shows up this time around.

In other news, expect to pay for the privilege of being part of this landmark event; and in the meantime, do whatever it is that you have to – maybe get together your collection in case you get the chance to have them signed.

Guess who’s tying the knot this week  and adding a 4^th husband to her list of attempts for eternal marital bliss? Sinead O’ Connor celebrates her 45^th birthday on the same day she exchanges nuptial vows with boyfriend Barrie Herridge.

Strangely enough, the singer turned priestess, who also once admitted she was a dyke has just recently gone public through her blog, about her quest and desperation for sex. Last August, O’Connor expressed utter depression on the fact that she is way too lovely to be living the wonderful celibate life of a nun. Hence, this has prompted her to go on a public hunt for  a lover.

Okay, now as much as we would all like to find some coherence in all the twisted facts about this woman,  there is no point in trying to.  As everything this talented singer  has tried to make of herself all through her years of being ….uh…. herself, nothing just seems to make any sense at all.

O’ Connor has 4 children from 3 previous marriages.  She divorced  ex husband no.3, Oz singer Steve Cooney last April, just 8 months after marrying him!

So now what? Does she remain a dyke priest or is she  a reborn woman now? With that huge tattoo on her chest, we’re guessing it’s all up to divine intervention to get her properly sorted out.

Tranformers: Dark of the Moon is doing quite well in the box office even without the sexy sultry Megan Fox steaming up the screen. Many are surely disappointed with her absence as the actress sure has had many of her fans wanting and waiting to see her smoke up the screen and revel in the fact that geeky and nerdy college boys still have hopes of having a hot girlfriend who knows her cars and engines!

Word has it that Stephen Spielberg gave actress Megan Fox the pink slip and fired her from the third sequel of the Transformers series. This comes a year after when Fox claimed she decided to leave the movie. The director himself, Michael Bay, spoke on this matter saying that it was Spielberg who put his foot down with a decision to give Fox the axe.  Reports have put the actress on a bad light, as she was cited for very unprofessional behaviour on set.

Finally breaking his silence about the issues , Michael Bay specifically pointed that incident when Fox threw comments about him that had the executive producer, Steven Spielber,g decide to fire her right then and there.

Megan Fox was quoted on an interview with Wonderland Magazine in 2009 saying-- "He's like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. He has no social skills at all. And it's endearing to watch him."

Well, that certainly was enough to have made her cross that line and do the walk of shame on the set.

Bay, however has expressed that he wasn’t hurt over the comments but was rather bemused and says it was merely Fox’s personal character shining through in a not so good way. Her former on screen boyfriend Shia LaBeouf openly expressed how Fox suddenly developed this Spice Girl strength and woman empowerment “stuff”.

According to Labeouf, Michael Bay’s filming style was a no-frills no-fluff manner that Fox had a hard time accepting. He puts that his director seems to lack some tact with instructions and may have been what triggered the Hitler comment.

After all that drama, Victoria’s Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley replaced Megan Fox as Shia LaBeouf’s hot new sophisticated British accent girlfriend.  Certainly another eye candy on the set and just to add more steam on the screen is Dr,McDreamy, Patrick Dempsey!

It looks like David Duchovny and Tea Leoni are giving their marriage another separation bash. This wouldn’t be the first time the couple have split up as this would be their second during their entire marriage.

In 2008, the couple went separate ways following a rehab treatment for  Californication star, David Duchovny who admitted  to having problems with sex addiction. The couple apparently got back together after living separately for several months. They were seen in June 2009 spending some time together and has thus confirmed their reconciliation in September of that same year.

Marriage isn’t a walk in the park for any couple, let alone those who battle with issues that need to be resolved time and again. Hence, We’re guessing the reason why David and Tea have never finalized their separation with divorce despite their marital hurdles.

However, this time around, the couple’s representative will only pin a definite separation for moment. The permanence of their current break up is still unknown, as  David and Tea would prefer to keep things under wraps for the sake of their children, Madeleine 12 and Kyd Miller ,9. Talk of divorce has not yet stirred on both camps, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed they get to sort their dance to an encore.

The former X-files star tied the knot with Tea in 1997. That is still a good 9 years of marriage to look back on even after such a controversial marital issue triggered by Duchovny’s admittance to sex addiction.

The couple secretly tied the knot in a hush hush ceremony which only had four people in attendance. Apart from Craig’s 18 year old daughter, Ella , Weisz also had her 4 yr old son Henry standing by. There were only two other friends who shared this blissful day in NewYork with the couple.

After a nine year relationship with “ Black Swan “ director Darren Aronofsky, the actors have finally broken their silence on their years of platonic friendship. Craig was also in a previous relationship and engaged to Satsuki Mitchell for five years.   Reports started buzzing in November 2010 when they there were first linked, as a result of their upcoming horror movie “ The Dream House”.

Craig and Weisz were also last spotted shopping at a Louis Vuitton store in London last March.

Both Weisz and Craig are currently doing a movie where they play husband in wife in “The Dream House”. True enough, this made things much more convenient for them to be linked in real time.

In case you’re having a hard time pinning a face to Daniel Craig, the actor is best known in his portrayal of the amorous dashing debonair, James Bond. Craig is up for the 23^rd movie series of James Bond entitled “ The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”. Although the sequel has been delayed due to some financial issues, progress on the film still hasn’t pegged a release date.

On the other hand, you can mark down horror movie popcorn dates for “The Dream House” in September.

The $5  white and red  rubber bands, whose sales and profits were supposedly promised by the singer to benefit the victims of  Japan’s earthquake, are now in question through allegations of  Michigan legal network, 1800 LAWFIRM. The law firm is also pinning charges on account of “artificially inflated reports of total donations” as well as overcharging buyers on shipping costs.

This entire lawsuit comes in the wake of reports that federal racketeering and consumer protection laws were being broken through deceptive advertising as well as misappropriation of profits from the sales of the wristbands.

The 25 yr. old singer’s official website does show a significant number of comments from fans who have expressed their disappointment on  the long delivery as well as shipping and handling costs  of more than the price of the said wristbands.  The lawsuit filed against the pop diva aims to shed light on any improprieties and ensure that the singer and her partnering companies appropriate the full donations to their  promised beneficiaries.

Steffani Germonatta, or also known in pop music as Lady Gaga herself – graced the pages of Forbes magazine  as the most powerful celebrity in the world.  She is currently doing her “Born this Way”  benefit concert tour in Japan. Sales from the rubber bracelets along with other marketing ventures have been reportedly donated to the earthquake victims totalling a whopping donation of $3 million.

Jennifer Aniston and her new beau went public with their budding romance just quite recently and little did we know they both have already upped their romance game plan.

True enough, the couple are now shacked up in Jen’s LA home.

Theroux is indeed living in Aniston’s place and now basks in the limelight of having the actress introduce him as her boyfriend.

Who is this new man in Jen’s life?  He clearly has won her heart. The 39 yr old Theroux has quite  some good feathers on his hat being an actor, director and screen writer for a bunch of  memorable projects in both TV and the big screen. His latest that being Wanderlust where he plays opposite Jennifer Aniston.

Reports have it that 42 year old Jen already had her eye set on Theroux from the get go. She would often hold parties at her place with him and eventually things started to bloom and sizzle between the co-stars.

Theroux has been seen spending a lot of days and nights at Jen’s place in LA and is considering spending the summer there as well.

Prior to their budding relationship, Justin is known to have kept a 14 year relationship with now ex gf  and costume designer Heidi Bivens. They lived together for 6 years at an apartment in NYC but just last weekend or so, Bivens has moved out. Theroux is known to keep a room at Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont, up until he took up residence at Jen’s uber sleek and chic home.

Love is a mystery, even to those who seem to have been in the game for quite a long time. I guess Theroux’s unstoppable growing facial hair may yet hold the key answer to all this?

This is what may have been the case with British Musician Joss Stone.  BBC  News reports of two men who are currently held by authorities on suspicion of conspiracy to rob and probably murder  Joss Stone in her Devon home. Both suspects are from Manchester, England.

Sources say that neighbours noticed a suspicious looking vehicle parked on the premises of the singer’s residence and made it a point to call and report the activity to the police.  Although no one knows if Stone was in her home when the men were arrested, but the sultry singer confirms she was aware of them and that she was absolutely fine and trying to get on with her life as normal.

Police reports  have compelling evidence of a murderous plot having found swords, ropes, forensic style overalls and a body bag in possession of the two suspects ages, 33 and 30. Aside from these, the men also had detailed maps and aerial photographs of Stone’s rural home.

The Detective Inspector handling the case reassures they are currently carrying out patrols and would like to make it known that no properties have been robbed and no individuals have been harmed.

Although not everyone is blessed with good genes, it is not impossible to achieve a healthy young looking glow.  Jennifer strongly advises women in  any  age group to take time to look after themselves.

She says to avoid sun exposure , smoking and drinking. You would think how a woman in her status can avoid  getting sucked into an unhealthy lifestyle of non stop over indulgence in alcohol, smoking .. and  late night partying. But this girl from the block firmly believes in keeping the excesses to a bare minimum by eating healthy, not smoking and binging on alcohol and going tan crazy chasing the sun.

For most Caucasians, sun damage is a detrimental factor to losing that healthy glow.  Always use sunscreen whenever  you step out of the house. Lopez admits her excitement  since she  herself will tell you that  she admires  how L’Oreal is always instep with glamour and innovation.

Russel Brand, who married Perry in 2010, has been in a number of scuffles with authorities battling with his drug and alcohol addiction.  Having been arrested quite a few times, he has recently had another bout with authorities for allegedly attacking the paparazzi at an  LA airport last year.

No comment or feedback from the singer and her husband as to the reason behind Japanese officials for denying entry to the British actor/comedian. The only words Katy Perry mentioned regarding this, was due to some “priors”.

Brand didn’t same fazed with the incident, as his Twitter page had him posting, “ Planning escape from Japanese custody, It’s bloody hard to dig a tunnel with a chopstick.”

Katy Perry had no choice but to go ahead with her show saying that she still loves her Japanese fans.

Perry and Brand’s marriage skyrocketed them into being one of Hollywood’s high profile couples, even with Russell Brand’s notorious past and criminal history. Quite surprising to know at this point that Katy Perry grew up with parents who are both  evangelical ministers. In an interview for her cover spread in Vanity Fair magazine, the pop singer recalls her childhood with her mother reading the bible to her in place of the usual children’s books.

With her success in the music industry, and carving her own brand of sexy pop music and bold retro revealing outfits, Perry admits that her relationship with her parents now have come to a coexisting crossroad where they no longer try to change each other and all agree to disagree.

She speaks of her relationship with husband Russell Brand as having no dull moment together. Merely laughing at the incident when pics of her minus her usual dolled up face leaked out to the public. Hubby Russell  thought it funny to take a picture of his wife  in bed sans make-up.

And on that note, in case you’re shopping for a celebrity home, Katy Perry and Russell Brand’s Los Feliz home is on the market for a lovely price tag of $3.395 million.

Killing hundreds of people ,stranding thousands and leaving behind many people homeless, the tornadoes that wreaked havoc in the midwestern and southeastern US  has led the Rules of Engagement star  to extend a generous hand in the efforts of the Red Cross to reach out to affected people who are in desperate need of assistance.

The 46 yr old brother-in-law of famous designer Kate Spade, has long been a supporter of the Red Cross over the years.  He is an American Red Cross National Cabinet member, assisting the agency with it’s relief efforts through his personal donations and money raised  from his shows.  This enabled Spade to contribute $50,000 to the states of Kentucky and Tennessee in July of last year.

In a statement, The American Red Cross has expressed their deep appreciation for the actor’s unfailing  and selfless generous support through donating his time, talent and money to assist those in need.

Spade hopes that his move will encourage others to join him in his efforts to support the American Red Cross . Apparently, Charlie Sheen also shares this advocacy as the actor has launched a website in support of raising money for disaster relief  for tornado victims. His website,  TorpedosAgainstTornados.com promises to send any donor  who contributes $100 or more, a personally autographed baseball from the controversial 45 year old actor.

The said video instantly went viral and millions of people from around the world voiced out their heart for the 10^th grader student. Justin Bieber  was one of those who saw the video and learned of Casey’s story . Being able to closely relate to a teenager’s tough life, Bieber knew just how to make a statement on this matter as he flew Casey and his family to his concert in Melbourne. The singer even brought Casey out onto the stage with him, as the boy received proud cheers from the crowd.

In case you haven’t been reading much of Bieber fever news, the 17-year old pop idol has been quite the victim of bullying himself. Just recently he had eggs thrown at him onstage during one of his shows in Australia.  Refusing to get rattled by it, the singer kept on with his performance.  One would wonder though, why haters would even bother to spend money on tickets, stand with the maddening queue of fans, go through all that effort  only to throw eggs at a 17 year old boy. Geez, so much hate in this world.

As for Casey Heynes, he got his sweet revenge and a loud and proud statement to the world to always stand up against bullying.

Sued by Miley Cyrus. Over a doll of the teen celebrity.

Read that again: sued over a doll. By Miley Cyrus.

Isn’t she a cutie? Sorry, I got sidetracked for a second… or seventeen.

But the doll in case isn’t an ordinary Miley Cyrus doll, nor is the star wearing glasses, this doll has been flying of the shelves and was sold out within 48 hours according to a spokes person of Pipedream Products, the doll’s manufacturer. Sold out minus some which have been taken off the shelves for legal reasons. Legal reasons before adolescents and basement dwellers online could order it from Amazon, which sold it the doll for around $28 in the US.

We of course understand that everyone, when mum’s not cleaning out the IT and bat cave, prefers to shop Amazon for dolls, rather than ordering online glasses, but I think you guys have been pushing a little too hard and crossed the boundary this time. As if your Lady Gaga, Kylie Minogue and other celebrity dolls on that cubicle desk weren’t enough yet, this time you needed to expand the collection with a Finally Miley piece?

That truly goes too far, guys.

The star, barely 18 and fresh from the recent Bong scandal, all you can think off is…

Give the girl a break, guys!

It’s not her fault that every year she gets better and better looking, is it? You even don’t need to put your glasses on to see that and we can’t blame you for liking her. But you have to know when and where to stop.

‘Yes mum! Five more minutes and I’m coming to eat!’

Did I really say that these dolls were sold out already? That was no lie, no no. Unless of course you’re slightly smarter and want to check Amazon to get your piece of Finally Miley. Be quick though because rumor goes, according to The Sun, that the Hannah Montanna star is ready to sue and even the smartest one of you will need to order online glasses if you don’t react NOW!

But we don’t want to force you to buy dolls of Miley! And we’re not the only ones who think that way, also Tiger does think you guys have gone too far. Asked about his thought on the Miley dolls Tiger reacted:

The dolls? sold out guys. And don’t check at work or we’ll have to tell Tiger to come and chat with you!

Ever since the news broke out that Rihanna was beat up by boyfriend Chris Brown, people have been hungry for updates. Here’s one from Clara Brathwaite, Rihanna’s grandma. She says that her granddaughter is fine and does NOT have a broken nose. Thank God for sparing her pretty face that!

It seems that it has been ages since we saw and heard Whitney Houston, once considered one of the greatest divas. Over the weekend, though, she showed the world that she is back by performing at a pre-Grammy party in honor of Clive Davis. It seems that her story’s happy ending is here at last. Welcome back, girl!

I always enjoy watching the Grammy’s – not only to see if my favorite artists emerge as winners but also to watch some of the best live performances. This year’s line up is taking shape – U2, Kid Rock, and Rihanna are among some of the biggest names to look forward to. You can’t get any bigger than U2 in my book.

It seems that the talk show queen has suffered more than her share of disappointment lately. What with her well-publicized battle with the bulge, she does need anything else to pull her down but the news that the Holocaust story that was recently debunked certainly has her in the dumps. She shared her thoughts and feelings on the “lies” with the media late in the week.

It has been said that the only constant thing in this world is change – and David Duchovny hopes to be an example of that. He stated that he has changed and that he “hopes that people close to him and his family see that changed” in his first public appearance. Here’s to a brand new year to Mr. X-Files!

A serial killer and a beauty hidden within an ugly shell? It’s not going to be like that. It is actually Dexter co-star Lauren Velez who will be playing a nurse in Ugly Betty. It would be interesting to see how she portrays another (totally different) role.
