This official music video from his new album places William Shatner where he belongs: looming over us as a semi-devine figure dispensing questionable wisdom from on high. What does God need with a starship? This.

Previously: William Shatner? William Shatner. William Shatner!

William Shatner and Adam West, two giants of their time, came together to star in an unsold 1968 television pilot based on the life of Alexander the Great. Alas, it was simply too awesome to proceed. Too many minds would have been blown. Link -via The Mary Sue

In a famous scene in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Admiral Kirk screamed “Khan!” in rage and despair against his enemy, Khan Noonien Singh. This has become one of the great battlecries of Trekkies everywhere. So, appropriately, William Shatner led 3,000 fans in this call at Comic-Con. Behold its majesty, and tremble.

The Shat may not want anyone to see this, but who cares? Here’s Captain Kirk’s pause- (and aside-) filled version of the Canadian National Anthem, in commemoration of his Lifetime Achievement Award from the Governor General. It’s like being a knight, only different. Happy Canada Day again, northerly Neatoramanauts! You’re fabulous.

William Shatner is the unwitting star of a catchy dance mix from New York group Fall On Your Sword. The original Shatner interview was about Captain Kirk’s climb of El Capitan in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. I’m pretty sure you’ll like this version better.

From Betty Confidential:

In the show, whose title hasn’t been made public yet, Shatner will star as the father of a young guy who amasses more than a million followers on Twitter by tweeting Shatner’s musings, according to Yahoo! News.

The storyline is based on a real-life twitter account (@shitmydadsays) that’s built 1.3 million followers. The account is run by Justin Halpern, 29, who simply writes the sayings of his 74-year-old father. “He is awesome,” Justin says. Most of the tweets have a few X-rated words in them.

Will it work in a family-friendly sitcom format? (The show’s tentative title is "Bleep My Dad Says," so you’ll get the drift that CBS will tone down the language) Brian Stelter of the NY Times writes:

If someone had asked him, a year ago, to name his dream job, he said, “basically, I would have said, writing on a TV show that I created.” In an interview Monday night, just hours after he learned the show had been picked up by the network, Mr. Halpern could only say, “This is crazy.”

But it hasn’t gone to his dad’s head. Mr. Halpern said he received an e-mail message from his father on Monday afternoon, thinking it would be about the series pickup, but instead it was about an overdue Sprint bill. Maybe there is inspiration for an episode there. (Dr. Halpern has declined all interview requests.)

I wonder what Justin’s dad has to say about all this: Link (Photo: Ron P. Jaffe/CBS)

Though I haven’t read the novel, I immediately feel that this is an unwarranted attack on Bruce. First, take a look at the clip below, then tell me, is this the kind of man that can summon the Army of Darkness? Or cavort with The Evil Dead?

Duran Duran has got nothin’ on Bruce Campbell (plus, he probably smells good!)

Shatnerquake is a novel by Jeff Burk. Here’s the premise:

It’s the first ShatnerCon with William Shatner as the guest of honor! But after a failed terrorist attack by Campbellians, a crazy terrorist cult that worships Bruce Campbell, all of the characters ever played by William Shatner are suddenly sucked into our world. Their mission: hunt down and destroy the real William Shatner.

This is so Shatnerific that I’m having a screaming Shatnergasm right now.
