George Takei wants Carrie Fisher and William Shatner to stop fighting about Star Wars and Star Trek and go after a series that’s awful: Twilight. More »
Are you thinking about deep drying a turkey this Thanksgiving? Better watch this hilarious safety video starring William Shatner. More »
Things I found out recently include the fact that the Kardashian sisters are making their fiction debut in November with a novel entitled Dollhouse. Says Kim, “”The novel is based on our lives but we’ve added a lot of crazy fictional twists and turns. You’ll have to decide for yourself which story lines are true to life, and which ones we dreamed up.” But Kim, Khloé, and Kourtney are far from the only celebs who have tried their hand at novel-writing. I can’t speak as to how much these shining literary achievements owe to a little thing we call ghostwriting, but some of them aren’t so bad. Others… well, take a look for yourselves! More »

Actors are known for going to extremes for movie roles – Christian Bale lost a scary amount of weight for his role in The Machinist, and Renee Zellweger famously packed on pounds for Bridget Jones’ Diary. Depending on the star, learning a new language is better than having to gain or lose a bunch of weight. More »
We here at Crushable are never too proud to admit defeat: When we put Internet celebrity Wil Wheaton in our Hot Guys of Hard Sci-Fi and Fantasy Gallery we did not expect the outcry from our readers. “Really?” asked commenter Really?!, “Wesley Crusher? Really? Not Shatner-Kirk nor Quinto-Spock? Really?”
Well, we really put it to a vote. And we were really wrong. More »
Somebody track down a best friend necklace! William Shatner has found a new lifelong buddy in… um… Lyle Lovett? We’re a bit confused about this odd couple pairing, and also about Shat’s use of “BFF.” Although we must admit it would be great if from now on Bill’s Twitter feed is just an ongoing stream of $h*! my Lyle says.

We were watching TV the other night with a friend and one of those William Shatner Priceline commercials came on and our friend groaned: “Ugh. Is this still a thing?” Our feelings exactly. In our humble opinion, Shatner’s sing-songy schtick reached its pinnacle with Pulp’s “Common People,” and everything after that has been a downhill avalanche. It’s the same problem as the Betty White thing — just because an old person is doing a “young person” thing, it isn’t automatically hilarious. But maybe we’re just still mad about $#*! My Dad Says.
Anyway, we didn’t get more than 15 seconds into this video of Shat singing “}^(& You” on Lopez Tonight, but perhaps you’ll have better luck. More »
A lot happened this weekend, what with Russell Brand and Katy Perry getting married and Kanye’s Runaway video dropping, we could barely keep up. That’s why it’s nice to go back and be reminded that some celebrities are just taking it easy, making gourd-related jokes all weekend in a desperate bid to get their own spin-off show about their Twitter from the show they’re already on that’s based on a Twitter. That’s right, it’s William Shatner’s (@WilliamShatner) tweets, bitches.
It starts… More »
While the rest of you sucker’s are in San Diego to hear Joss Whedon and J.J. Abrams speak on the same panel (J.J. + J.! You nerds.) about hard sci-fi vampires or something, this dude TravelShorts on Flickr has already posted the best photo ever taken at a Comic convention. (Sorry, Adrianne Curry.)
We didn’t even know London had its own Comic-Con, but now that we think about it, it makes sense. Neil Gaiman! Alan Moore (who definitely wouldn’t show up)!… More »
We’ve already seen Adrianne Curry and her Princess Leia bikini as Comic-Con kicks off in San Deigo, and we know that Blake Lively and Angelina Jolie are going to be there, promoting their new films. But really, the point of these comic conventions isn’t just nerding out at panels, but checking out the awesome costumes that people spend half the year developing. Here are some of our favorite conceptual pieces. Don’t worry if people don’t “get it.” They just aren’t… More »
S#*! My Dad Says Officially Has Terrible Trailer – Well, not terrible, terrible. It does have William Shatner, after all. But we don’t have high hopes for a show based on “a Twitter sensation.” (via JustJared)
Well this is what you get for buying a TV pilot based on somebody’s Twitter account: Shit My Dad Says, which was picked up earlier this year by CBS and had William Shatner attached to the project as the titular father figure (since he’s so good at reading people’s Tweets dramatically), is now getting some major rewrites. For instance, the title, which will now be Bleep My Dad Says. Some sort of meta-commentary on television censorship? Since this is the… More »
Okay, so if you don’t know about Twitter, it’s basically a way to talk to yourself (and whoever wants to follow you) in 140 characters or less. I’ve been on Twitter (this is me) since it began and I have a love/hate relationship with it. Mostly, I think it’s kind of a giant waste of time, but it really depends on how you use it.
ANYWAY, moving on, good sweet baby Jebus. There are real live celebrities on Twitter, sharing… More »
Here’s William Shatner talking about George Takei not inviting him to his wedding; apparently there’s been some bad blood between the two of them for a very long time. Watch:
Here’s what he had to say:
The whole thing makes me feel badly, poor man. There is such a sickness there. It’s so patently obvious that there is a psychosis there. I don’t know what his original thing about me was. I have no idea.
‘I didn’t read his book that was printed… More »
