William Shatner has been nominated to be the 28th Governor General of Canada. Not only is he an intergalactic hero but The Shat hails from the great white north and would be a perfect candidate for the mostly ceremonial title. He also appears to be leading in the polls, beating out Wayne Gretzky and a full list of other famous Canadians.  Heck, you can even place your vote for the next Governor General here.

Okay, so, I'm not sure how we missed this, but there's a huge Comic Con in Anaheim, CA. set for April 16th - 18th with a virtual galaxy class starship full of Star Trek stars.  The convention is to be held at the Anaheim Convention Center and has over 150 guests planned for the event.   Let's just put it this way, William Shatner, Nichelle Nichols, Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Cirroc Lofton, Garrett Wang, and TONY TODD are going to be on hand.  Why is Tony Todd in all caps?  'Cause it's flippin' Kurn man!  If we still lived in So Cal, we'd be all up in that con for sure.

Thanks to @TrekGuy62 for hooking us up with the info!  Follow him! (That sounded alot like a commandement)

William Shatner, you sir have given us 50+ years of entertainment and we salute you. Let alone, we could have hardly asked for the 44 years of Trek, but your multitude of artistic expressions have been our pleasure to watch over the years. You sir are an actor, director, producer, web mogul, pitchman, equestrian, businessman, author, and the one and only Captain James T. Kirk.

We hope you have a wonderful birthday, Mr. Shatner!

William Shatner is a renaissance man of sorts.  He's an actor, of course, pitchman, equestrian, businessman, author, producer, director, and captain of a flippin' starship!  Well, now you can add internet entrepreneur to the list.  The Shat just launched a brand new social network for artists in the SciFi genre called MyOuterSpace.com.  

William "The Shat" Shatner is being honored at the Banff World Television Festival with their lifetime achievement award.  We assume the award is meant to honor his ability to create an adhoc cannon and mortally wound a gorn with it.  The Banff World Television Festival is the world's premiere television content creation event and annual forum for business and creative opportunities for those in television and new media.

According to a report from Wonderwall.msn.com, The Shat and J.J. recently "did lunch" at Spago (we made that last part up) and talked about The Shat returning to Trekdom.  Hmmm, we love The Shat, but we're not sure who we feel about shoehorning him into Star Trek XII. 

What do you think?  Leave your comments below.

William Shatner is in talks to return to the world of Star Trek, despite attacking director J.J. Abrams for leaving him out of his 2009 blockbuster prequel.

With more than 7 months to go, the 21st annual Trek Expo in Tulsa, Oklahoma is shaping up to be quite a show. This is the first time we've seen guest listed this early and who knows, this could end up being their biggest con yet. Check out the short list below with guests and ticket prices.

Thanks to one of our favorite SciFi blogs, Airlock Alpha, we learned of a special "hidden" interview Gene Roddenberry recorded in 1976 with none other than The Shat.  Apparently the interview was include on a spoken word album called "Inside Star Trek" that also featured DeForest Kelley (Dr. Leonard McCoy) and Mark Lenard (Sarek).

J.J. Abrams's 'Star Trek' was a big winner at this year's Spike TV Scream Awards.
