Shatner gets toasted on this enterprise
William Shatner has always done an excellent job of poking fun at himself, but he's going to have plenty of help this summer.
The 75-year-old actor, who starred as Captain Kirk in “Star Trek,” will be the recipient of cheap shots and bawdy jokes at a Comedy Central celebrity roast in his honor.
“The Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner,” scheduled to air Aug. 20, will be taped earlier that month.
Playboy playmate now only heir to fortune
E. Pierce Marshall, who feuded for years with former Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith over his father's oil fortune, has died, his spokesman said Friday. He was 67.
Marshall died unexpectedly Tuesday evening in the Dallas area from a brief and extremely aggressive infection.
“The family would politely request that their privacy be respected during this extremely difficult time as they grapple with this devastating loss.”
Smith married Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II in 1994, when she was 26 and he was 89. He died the following year. Since then, E. Pierce Marshall has been locked in a legal battle over the estate.
The U.S. Supreme Court last month revived former Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith's pursuit of her late husband's oil fortune, ruling Monday that the one-time stripper deserves another day in court.
Moore up in arms over 9/11 lawsuit
A veteran who lost both arms in the war in Iraq is suing filmmaker Michael Moore for $85 million, alleging that Moore used snippets of a television interview without his permission to falsely portray him as anti-war in “Fahrenheit 9/11.”
Sgt. Peter Damon, a National Guardsman from Middleborough, is asking for damages because of “loss of reputation, emotional distress, embarrassment, and personal humiliation,” according to the lawsuit.
Damon, 33, claims that Moore never asked for his consent to use a clip from an interview on NBC's “Nightly News.”
He lost his arms when a tire on a Black Hawk helicopter exploded while he and another reservist were servicing the aircraft on the ground.
Dear diary, my drug addiction inspired me
Pete Doherty's intimate journals detailing his music career, battle with drugs and brief, turbulent relationship with Kate Moss will be published next year, a British publishing house has announced.
The diaries of the 27-year-old Babyshambles frontman - including drawings, photos, poems and film reviews - have been culled from 20 volumes of his personal journals. They will be published in March 2007.
Doherty's writings chronicle his rise from anonymity to celebrity, said Orion commissioning editor Ian Preece.
“Some of it is quite funny,” Preece told reporters. “But some of it is very, very dark.”
