Some Trekkies are having heart palpitations over this: William Shatner, who played Captain Kirk, will not be in the 2008 release of Star Trek. While Leonard Nimoy gets to play the resurrection of his character, Spock, there is no place for Shatner and the cocky and horny Boston Legal character is disappointed, he told the Associated Press: 'I couldn't believe it. I'm not in the movie at all. Leonard, God bless his heart, is in, but not me. 'I thought, what a decision to make, since it obviously is a decision not to make use of the popularity I have to ensure the movie has good box office. It didn't seem to be a wise business decision.''

A Word or 48: The weekend might be there for watching some sports on TV. Other than the baseball there's the Monaco Grand Prix (Speed) on Sunday, as well as cycling's Giro d'Italia (Versus). For kicks, if you are truly desperate, watch Hudson Hawk in Spanish on KVEA on Saturday at 9 p.m. Tonight - Friday - June 1, 2007 Orioles @ Angels (Fox Sports, 7:00 p.m.) The Henry Rollins Show (IFC, 8:00 p.m.)...

Big Bad Mama, a 1974, Roger Corman-produced breasts-and-bullets flick, features the brilliant tagline, "The family that slays together, stays together." This B-movie version of Bonnie & Clyde is set in 1932 Texas and stars Angie Dickinson as a bootlegging, bank-robbing mom who joins up with Tom Skerritt and William Shatner to bilk society for all they can get. In between the robbing and killing are numerous sexy romps.

It's a legend. Unutterably brilliant. William Shatner doing his interpretation of the song "Rocketman." Then there's Chris Elliott spoofing William Shatner on Letterman (circa early 1990s). Then there's Stewie Griffin spoofing Chris Elliott spoofing William Shatner.

Tuesday Night "NBA Basketball" (PRIME 42, 6:00 p.m.) Clippers @ Jazz "Nova" (PBS, 8:00 p.m.) A genetic impairment causes an entire Turkish family to walk on all fours. PBS is attempting to become the Discovery Channel, or TLC or something sensational. What next, "When Anthropologists Attack"? "Dancing With the Stars" (ABC, 8:00 p.m.) This is the finals, finally - does anyone think that they'll let Emmitt Smith walk away with this thing? I'd like...

Just try and imagine where we’d be without our favorite Enterprisers. Star Trek modeled technology is so pervasive today, I shudder to think what our society might have looked like if we’d based the future on some of the other technologies being debuted on the small screen in 1966.

In between an Angie Dickinson double feature last night, the woman herself made an appearance and answered questions from a hoarde of enthusiastic male fans. At 75, the woman still has it; heck, she doesn't look a day over 50. (she may have had work done, but it's exceptionally good work).

More SAG Awards liveblogging. Watch out, Dakota is coming.

The SAG awards start with a bunch of actors telling their stories to the camera.

LAist has a question for our readers:

For those of you who grew up grooving on the original "Star Trek" series (it's okay, let your geek flag fly), Scotty, that irascible, whiskey swilling Scotsman who ruled the engine room of the starship with a firm hand and a quick wit was a welcome counterpoint to the soft-focus close-ups and foppish shenanigans of William Shatner's heavily rouged Kirk.
