William Shatner, man about town, is hosting a brand new show, his second, for the BIO channel that we originally reported on back in May.  It appears that "Aftermath" is set to premiere on August 2nd at 10PM ET/ 9PM CT/ 11PM PT.  The new show takes Viewers back to the dramatic events that dominated the american news cycle as Shatner gains exclusive access to the news makers at the Heart of each story.

As I was thinking over a few ideas for an article tonight, I realized that we have yet to honor our favorite Scotsman in the appropriate fashion. So, ladies, gents, and all trans-gender species, it's time for the... Youtube Video Round-up: James Doohan edition. As a young trek fan, I don't think that there was a cast member I tried to imitate more than Scotty. From the ubiquitus "I haven't got the power" to "Aye, the haggis is in the fire for sure", I tried them all.

With the recent announcement of his retirement, Leonard Nimoy has been hitting the convention circuit pretty heavily.  Not that we're complaining.  We definitely want to see him before he buys a condo and moves to Florida.  With the retirement news though, we just assumed that Vegas Khhaaan! was going to be his last show.  Apparently not.  It looks like the 44th annual Chi-town convention could be our Vulcan friend's last show (maybe).  So, if you're looking for a chance to get a photo or autogarph with Mr. Nimoy beyond Vegas, you still have a chance.  

William "The Shat" Shatner is full of awesomesuce, as we all know, and is really the king of all media.  From directing, producing, starring, "singing", and even entrepreneuring his way across the galaxy, The Shat is now making his way where no man has gone before, again.  This time, Bill is ready to direct a documentary about himself starring himself.  Wait, wouldn't that rip a hole in the fabric of something or other?

Leonard Nimoy's retirement may be short lived if the rumors we're hearing are true. According to a few sites around the net, William Bell may be returning to the Fox hit "Fringe" in it's 3rd season. In a video entitled "Fringe: The Next Chapter" the cast talk about the season 2 cliffhanger and what may be in-store for season 3.

In the interview Leonard jokingly had this to say about William Bell's "death".

“Do I think he’s really dead? Do I think William Bell is really dead? This is science fiction. I have died in science fiction many times and somehow magically or scientifically come back.”

"Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep" is the seventh game in the series that began back in 2002, released for the Playstation 2.  Set for a September 7th, 2010 release, the new game also adds some familiar voices to the roster.  One world famous Vulcan and a little know farmboy from a galaxy far, far away. That's right, Leonard Nimoy and Mark Hamil are set to star in the upcoming Playstation Portable release.  

Our good friend (as if we know him) William Shatner is known for his halting... way of... speaking and his quirky spoken word albums. Oh, and the whole Star Trek thing.  With two albums in print, Apparently The Shat is trying to put together a set of songs for a third, but this time he's pulling out all the stops.  According to a twitter post, Bill has recently gone into a recording studio and laid down a track covering Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody".  

One of our favorite automotive blogs, Jalopnik, compiled a top ten list of favorite automobiles from the Rocketman himself William Shatner.  Apparently The Shat revealed this list over a short period of time through his Twitter account.  The fine folks over at Jalopnik not only gave us the list, but also gave us insight into what each pick reveals about our kindly Captain.

The list includes the obligatory Ferrari Enzo and Dodge Viper, but also includes a few picks that are synonymous with gearheads.  Check out a snipit below to see The Shat favs.

"Aftermath", a brand new series for The Biography Channel set to preview in the fall is also set to launch with a familiar captain, William Shatner.  The show will feature will examine ordinary Americans who became overnight household names such as Jessica Lynch, the D.C. sniper victims and Mary Kay Letourneau and what their lives are like now.
