Shatner To Replace Charlie Sheen?

Shatner leaked another small tidbit from from Kirk, Crane, and Beyond.  Cute, but I hope Sheen never graces Bleep My Dad Says.

More Shat Down Under

Shatner's still Down Under and the first of the live Twitter Questions have been posted on Bill's Facebook and Twitter feed.  Unfortunately, it's nothing too interesting.  Fingers crossed for more questions and some actual revelations.

ABC Brisbane Interviews Shatner

Australia's Kelly Higgins-Devine got ten minutes on the phone with Shatner for ABC's Brisbane radio show Drive.  The Interview is short, but Kelly managed to get a few good bits of info outta the star of Kirk, Crane, & Beyond.  The Highlights:

                --Asked what's the secret to staying young at 80, Shatner wryly responds "Chose your mother and father before conception."
                --Shatner reveals that he saw a lot of Alexander The Great (at least his televised version) in the role of Captain Kirk.
                --Kirk, Crane, & Beyond will be a "potpourri" of stories in which the "audience will be entertained mightily."
                --Shatner is currently living in a period of "what the heck!  a sort of east that it doesn't really matter in the long run" that has allowed him to dive into multiple projects.
                --His upcoming album, Seeking Major Tom is a "sketch history of what I think happened to Major Tom...it could be really interesting, got my fingers crossed, you never really know."

Kirk, Crane, & Beyond-The Australian Beat Poem!

And speaking of beat poetry, this is a fantastic (but brief) audio excerpt from the Kirk, Crane, & Beyond live show that's been touring Down Under for the last few days.  Shatner riffs on Australia and Australians and it is beautiful.

Shatner in Oz!

Here is a brief intro of Shatner at the Australian Command and Conquer Con in Sydney.  Early reports seem to be quite positive, but I'm just aching to see how those Twitter questions went.  More to come as soon as videos get uploaded to YouTube.

Aussie Klingons!
