The campaign to raise a shit load of money for George Takei’s Broadway bound musical Allegiance was a success and he celebrated by riding, whipping and slaying the beat. My soul has been dehydrated ever since Internet legend La Pequeña retired from making sweet moves on YouTube, but this clip of George dancing quenched its thirst a little. This is like a scene from The Glittery Gays of YouTube Retirement Home and the world is a sparklier place because of it.
With the nasty back and forth between William Shatner and Carrie Fisher arguing the eternal question — Star Wars or Star Trek? — it seemed peace was all but a fantasy in the world of science fiction. Enter George Takei, the erstwhile Mr. Sulu and the voice of reason in this galaxy-splitting debate, to unite both fandoms in the hatred of their “ominous, mutual enemy” — Twilight. “And it is really, really bad.”
“Gone is any sense of heroism, camaraderie or epic battle,” Takei laments. “In its place, we have vampires that sparkle, and moan, and… go to high school.” Watch his video plea now, nerds! Shirtless fencing Sulu FTW!

Full Story »So, it really has come to this. Back in 1963, Patty Duke won an Academy Award at the age of 16 for her work in The Miracle Worker. Now, she is shilling for SocialSecurity.gov while wearing Spock ears and an ill-fitting Trekkie costume. George Takei joins her for legitimacy. (Melissa Leo, you have seen your future.) I guess Mo’nique really was right when she eloquently said, “You can’t eat an Oscar.”

$100 million is reportedly the magic number Tiger Woods will write IN BLOOD on a personal check and hand over to his soon-to-be ex-wife Elin Nordegren as part of their divorce settlement. This is 650 miles away from the $750 million figure people were throwing around recently, but it’s still enough cash for Elin to heal her wounds (and possibly any crotch warts Tiger gave her) with. Hopefully, Elin also gets the golf club she used to whoop his SUV so she can hang it in a shadow box over one of her toilets.
Some inside source swears on a pile of Ambiens to TMZ that $100 million is the correct amount and it’s much more than she would’ve collected under the original prenup. They also say that Tiger’s net worth is around $500 to $600 million.
Apparently, as part of the deal Elin agreed to not write a tell-all about Tiger’s mistress whore ways. This is the saddest news, because I was really hoping that Elin’s tell-all would be turned into a Lifetime movie starring Shauna Sand as Elin, Todd Bridges as Tiger, George Takei in drag as Tiger’s mom and Trace Cyrus as Rachel Uchitel (Hey, it’s my fantasy TV movie).
This really makes me want to call my mom and yell at her for not raising me to be a blonde Swedish nanny with ovaries. That could’ve been me!
