William Shatner doesn't regret missing Leonard Nimoy's funeral

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The three women of Boygenius — Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker — have made alluding to their forebears a hallmark of their band. Witness the cover of their first EP in 2018, when they re-created the casual iconography of the debut album sleeve of a prior supergroup — Crosby, Stills & Nash — or when they posed as Nirvana on a recent Rolling Stone cover. On their first full-length album, prosaically titled “The Record,” the references come fast and furious, in song titles or random lines: the Beatles with “Revolution 0,” Sheryl Crow with “Not Strong Enough,” Virginia Woolf with “Letters to an Old Poet,” Joan Didion and the Cure with scattered borrowings or citations, and last but not least, Leonard Cohen with, um, “Leonard Cohen.”

Gilded Youth” — told Express (via the Mirror) that Prince Harry, 38, and Prince William, 40, are happy to be with supportive brides, especially after the death of their mother Princess Diana in 1997. The Duke of Sussex met Meghan Markle in 2016 and the Prince of Wales began dating Kate Middleton in the early 2000s.“I think actually, in a strange way, the two boys, William and Harry, need their partners in a very similar way,” Quinn explained.He talked about how the siblings’ upbringing, specifically being cared for by paid palace employees who “could leave anytime,” impacted them in their teen years.

Elon Musk has defended his Twitter subscription plan after it was criticised by Star Trek actor William Shatner.After acquiring the social media platform in late 2022, the billionaire introduced Twitter Blue, a service that allows anyone to purchase a blue tick/verified account for a monthly subscription fee.Previously, blue ticks were typically given to notable accounts, such as high-profile figures, celebrities, major companies, politicians and members of the media.However, as part of his new plan, Musk has warned that these “legacy accounts” – those who received blue ticks before his takeover – will lose their verified status unless they pay the monthly subscription fee.“Hey @elonmusk, what’s this about blue checks going away unless we pay Twitter?” Shatner tweeted Musk on Saturday (March 25).“I’ve been here for 15 years giving my [time] & witty thoughts all for bupkis. Now you’re telling me that I have to pay for something you gave me for free? What is this-the Colombia Records & Tape Club?”In defence of his new program, Musk wrote: “It’s more about treating everyone equally.

$44 billion has been to even the playing field between verified and unverified users, believing that the blue check that traditionally comes with accounts belonging to public figures sets a left-leaning, elitist hierarchy on the site that he wants to do away with. While the fix to that hierarchy has seen its fair share of hiccups along the way, including a period of time when anyone could go blue and impersonate a celebrity, Musk announced last week that he’s doing away with unpaid verifications altogether.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Is Elon Musk’s move to grant verified blue check-marks only to paying Twitter users designed to prop up the company’s revenue — or is it supposedly to democratize the social network? After actor William Shatner groused about Twitter’s plan to revoke legacy blue check-marks as of April 1 and force users to pay for the privilege, the multibillionaire tech baron claimed the subscription-based verification program is about fairness, not lucre. “It’s more about treating everyone equally,” Musk tweeted Sunday evening in replying to Shatner. “There shouldn’t be a different standard for celebrities imo.”

King Charles’ Coronation will have its ‘dignity protected’ as organisers work to prevent a clash between Prince William and Prince Harry, a royal expert said. Commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, speaking exclusively to OK!, added the Prince and Princess of Wales will have a “pivotal role” to play on the big day. He went on to say, if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex choose to attend, they will not be a “large part of it”.

Prince Harry’s book Spare was a “mistake” that “considerably worsened” his relationship with brother Prince William, a royal expert has said. Commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, speaking exclusively to OK!, said there was a “very big rift in the Royal Family” following the publication of the Duke of Sussex’s explosive memoir. He added The Firm “simply can’t trust” the Sussexes now - as anything said to them could be made public.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are trying to make sure son Prince Louis does not become an “offshoot like Harry”, a royal expert has claimed. The Prince and Princess of Wales want to ensure their youngest child is not made to feel like a ‘spare’ at King Charles upcoming Coronation on 6 May, commentator Angela Mollard added. Prince Harry’s explosive memoir, released in January, was titled Spare in an apparent reference to the saying ‘an heir and a spare’.

William Shatner is proud of his Canadian passport.

William Shatner enjoys using NSFW language and isn’t afraid to admit it. After delivering a keynote speech at the South by Southwest festival, Shatner spoke with producer Tim League about where his fondness for a certain four-letter word originated. When asked what he thought about disruptive electronic gadgets, the 91-year-old "Star Trek" star said, "Shut the f--- up.

After having explored George Lucas, David Lynch, Hitchcock, and even William Friedkin in previous documentaries, Alexandre O. Phillippe turns his attention towards an unlikely subject, William Shatner, in his newest film, “You Can Call Me Bill.” Framed around a free-associative conversation with the famed actor, Phillipe’s new documentary might be catnip for any Trekkie but also represents something of a regression after the filmmaker’s probing “Lynch/Oz” last year.  Continue reading ‘You Can Call Me Bill’ Review: Alexandre O.

Kate Middleton and Prince William are going green! On Friday, the Prince and Princess of Wales attended the 2023 St. Patrick's Day Parade at Mons Barracks in Aldershot, England.The royals both wore shamrocks, with Kate displaying her special brooch on her teal Catherine Walker & Co coat dress, which perfectly matched her hat and heels.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic “You Can Call Me Bill” is the latest documentary from director Alexandre O. Philippe, who specializes in plucking tasty subjects out of the pop cosmos and doing deep-dive meditations on them. Philippe often leans into horror (“Memory: The Origins of Alien,” “Doc of the Dead,” and his greatest film, “78/52: Hitchcock’s Shower Scene”), but even with other subjects (“The People vs. George Lucas,” “Lynch/Oz”), what he’s always looking for is the heady ineffable curveball insight. So if you go into his new movie, which is all about William Shatner, presuming that it’s going to be something other than a conventional portrait of William Shatner, you’d be quite correct. The movie is built around an interview with the legendary 91-year-old actor, still vigorous and voluble, with a seize-the-day cornball glow to him. In “You Can Call Me Bill,” Shatner sits under the hot lights, with the camera close to his face, talking, talking, and talking — about life, death, acting, fame, love, desolation, and trees.

Star Trek star revealed his reasoning behind the documentary was far more solemn than it may seem. The Golden Globe winner has enjoyed a lucrative and sensational career over the last 72 years. He originally became a household name through the globally renowned series Star Trek but has also since become a best-selling science fiction author and holds the title of the oldest person to fly in space.

Legendary actor William Shatner is living each day like it’s his last.  The 91-year-old "Star Trek" captain spoke out about his mortality, as he prepares to release his documentary "You Can Call Me Bill." "I’ve turned down a lot of offers to do documentaries before. But I don’t have long to live," Shatner revealed during an interview with Variety. "Whether I keel over as I’m speaking to you or 10 years from now, my time is limited, so that’s very much a factor.

continues filming season 6, the Netflix historical drama has been spotted recreating a crucial moment in Prince William and Kate Middleton's relationship: their first meeting at St Andrews in 2001. Photos from the set show actors Ed McVey and Meg Bellamy portraying the royal couple during the early days in their romance, when they were both attending the university in Scotland.Their first meeting would also happen four years after William's mother, Princess Diana, tragically died in 1997. After completing his studies at Eton College in 2000, the prince took a gap year, traveling and working around various parts of the world before enrolling at St Andrews.Both William and Kate were students in the same residence, St Salvator's Hall.

To describe William Shatner, who turns 92 later this month, as “full of life” would be a gross understatement. When Deadline spoke with him about the documentary You Can Call Me Bill, which is making its world premiere at SXSW, he was about to go horseback riding. At a time when many people his age, those fortunate few to reach their 90s, are getting about with walkers or wheelchairs, he’s hoofing it.

William Shatner is getting vulnerable about mortality.
