Riverside Museum Seeking Volunteers
By Mary Zielinski, 04/30/2008
Just a week before the Riverside History Center takes its Voyage Home to the public, organizers of the long-sought museum were signing up volunteers to staff it.
The informal meeting in the Community Room of the Riverside Senior Village drew more than a dozen people, virtually all of whom were willing to donate hours to staff the museum. Official opening of what the Riverside Area community Club (RACC) and the city has wanted almost since the start of Trek Fest in 1984, is Saturday, May 3. Housed in the former Kwik 'N' EZ convenience store on Highway 22, the museum will be 100 percent volunteer operated.
For Paul LaPorte, who arrived in Riverside about four months ago, the museum is simply a continuation of a longtime interest for the history student. And he will be helping in as many ways as he can, he said, including with exhibits. In fact, the Illinois native did internships in Des Plaines and Chicago museums. Saturday, he told those at the meeting that the History Center will be a repository for Riverside's treasures, both as a permanent gift or on loan for a specified period.
The museum will have a permanent exhibit about Invasion Iowa, the reality show produced by actor William Shatner (of Captain Kirk fame) for Spike TV, including photos and props from the show; a permanent Star Trek exhibit including all the ships shown on the television series, cast photos and all the T-shirts RACC has produced for 24 years of Trek Fest.

Fans Send a Big 'Save Our Shows' SOS for Boston Legal
By Gary Levin, USA TODAY
Fans want their Denny Crane fix. Boston Legal, featuring the lawyer played by William Shatner, topped the list of endangered series viewers most want back in USA TODAY's 11th annual Save Our Shows poll.
...
Legal producer David E. Kelley says his show's fate may rest with a renegotiation of its price tag before ABC's May 13 schedule announcement. "I don't think it's a show that can last forever like Law & Order," he says. "We have stories in the bank that are good for another year or two. After that, we'd have to sit down and see if it's time to stop."
But Kelley, whose remake of BBC's Life on Mars is also in contention for a fall slot, is familiar with his precarious position: "It's like a dance with a girl hanging out by the punch bowl, hoping we get asked by the time midnight chimes."
Boston Legal (ABC)
Viewers (all are season to date): 9.9 million.
Prognosis: The show's ratings are modest (though dependably stable), and its viewers are older than ABC would like. Renewal may hinge on whether producer David E. Kelley agrees to cut ABC's price tag.
SOS fact: Boston boosters were most often ages 40 to 60.
Fan: The show's "great blend of witty dialogue, interesting ensemble and smartly written episodes are gold," raves Delana Vickers of Winston-Salem, N.C.
http://www.usatoday.com/life/television ... htm?csp=34
Prisoners of price tag?: Legal's William Shatner, James Spader.

Win Up Till Now by William Shatner
William Shatner gets the joke about William Shatner. In fact, most of the time he's the one telling it. His self-effacing attitude, so perfectly parodied in the bombastic character he now plays on Boston Legal, Denny Crane, is one of the reasons for his huge popularity.
While best known for his creation of Captain James T. Kirk, commander of the starship Enterprise on Star Trek, William Shatner has been a working actor for more than half a century. He has experienced all the ups (the awards and acclaim) and the downs (having to live for a time in the truck bed of his camper when he couldn't get work) that are a part of the actor's world.
In Up Till Now he tells us about his remarkable life, from training as a Shakespearan actor under Sir Tyrone Guthrie, to his time on Broadway, his movie career and, of course, his successful TV series. He has worked with an extraordinary range of actors, among them Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland, Walter Matthau, Sandra Bullock, Ben Stiller and Robert DeNiro. He also writes, with glee, about some of his less successful ventures, including Incubus, the only feature ever made entirely in Esperanto. As funny, charming and self-deprecating as the man himself, this book will delight his many fans of all ages.
To read the William Shatner biography click here.
We have five copies of the book to give away, courtesy of Pan Macmillan publishers. Simply answer the question below for your chance to win:
In which year was William Shatner born?
* 1921
* 1931
* 1941

William Shatner Captain Kirk from Star Trek Upcoming Autograph Signing
William Shatner AKA "Captain Kirk" from the original Star Trek will be doing some upcoming celebrity autograph signings for his new book "Up Till Now."
From Amazon: It was the original Star Trek series, and later its films, that made Shatner instantly recognizable, called by name -- or at least by Captain Kirk's name -- across the globe. But Shatner neither began nor has ended his career with that role. From the very start, he took his skills as an actor and put them to use wherever he could. He straddled the classic world of the theater and the new world of television, whether stepping in for Christopher Plummer in Shakespeare's Henry V or staring at "something on the wing" in a classic episode of The Twilight Zone. And since then, he's gone on to star in numerous successful shows, such as T.J. Hooker, Rescue 911, and most recently Boston Legal. In this touching and very funny autobiography, William Shatner reveals the man behind these unforgettable moments, and how he's become the worldwide star and experienced actor he is today.
Below is William Shatner's upcoming celebrity autograph book signing tour...
* 5/12/08 7:30 PM at the 92nd Street Y - Lexington Ave @ 92nd St. New York, NY.
* 5/14/08 7:00 PM at Barnes & Noble Union Square. New York, NY.
* 5/17/08 2:00 PM at Book Soup - Sunset Blvd. West Hollywood, CA.
If anyone can not attend any of these autograph signings please contact us today to reserve your signed copy as Autograph Store will be covering some of these events.

Lowdown On The Upfront: Shatner Shakes Up ION's Upfront
Brandon Burgess, Chairman and CEO, ION Media Networks, and William Shatner of Boston Legal.
Network Rolls Out Primetime Lineup, New Branding In NYC
By Linda Moss -- Multichannel News, 5/2/2008 1:34:00 PM
Unveiling its new primetime lineup and new branding, ION Television brought out some talent -- Boston Legal's William Shatner, The Dead Zone's Anthony Michael Hall and veteran game show host Chuck Woolery -- for its upfront presentation Thursday.
ION's upfront gala, documented in this online photo gallery, was held at the New York Public Library in Manhattan, where the network told Madison Avenue about the bevy of off-network acquisitions it has made. The list includes not only Boston Legal and The Dead Zone, but also ER, The Ghost Whisperer and Criminal Minds, among other shows.
Emmy-winner Shatner kicked off ION's upfront by coming onstage in character as crazy-like-a-fox lawyer Denny Crane. ION Media Networks CEO Brandon Burgess and Stephen Appel, president of sales and marketing, then took over.
RHI Entertainment, ION's exclusive partner in weekend primetime programming, will deliver 12 original movies, including three Westerns, during the 2008-2009 season. Actor Dougray Scott, who will appear in one of the telepics, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, was also on hand for the upfront.
At the event, Australian singer Delta Goodrem sang to introduce ION's new branding as "positively entertaining." Goodrem's music will be featured in the launch of the network's fall season.

Shat Hits the Canvas
An illustrated retrospective of bill shatners 76 years of gracing our planet, words by Nic Wilson.
2007 won't be remembered for many things. The Iraq War still sucking. Iranians behaving badly. Setting the Doomsday Clock back to five minutes of midnight. But there is one thing this mediocre year has given us that I believe future generations will actually give two fignuts about: the Shatner Show.
That's right. William Shatner has an art exhibition dedicated to his larger-than-life self, thanks to a husband and wife pair of his fellow Canadians -- Janine Vangool and Glen Dresser. They concocted the show while driving through the Canadian countryside, listening to Shatner's most recent spoken-word album, Has Been -- which was applauded for the same gentle self-mockery that has become the calling card of the modern, gnome-insulting Shatner.
Now I grew up on reruns of the original Star Trek. I learned the lurid lapdance of love from the way Kirk's gaze seduced countless alien women. I'm certain this warped me -- no pun intended -- beyond the reach of modern psychology; I am still inexplicably attracted to green women (partially explaining why I have a complete run of She-Hulk, but head trauma has to figure in there at some point, too).
Vangool (quite possibly the best sci-fi villain name ever), a graphic designer and owner/curator of the UPPERCASE gallery in Calgary, planned the exhibit to feature 76 artists, one to commemorate each year Shatner has graced this undeserving planet of ours with his quality. One artist missed the deadline, so there are in fact only 75 -- but there were enough artists contributing multiple pieces to take care of Shatner well into the next decade.
Vangool describes herself as a casual fan of Shatner's when they started, but that her admiration for the actor only increased, in part because of the fearlessness with which he attacks new projects. She explains, "Canadians are proud of other Canadians," but that he is humorous, iconic, and loved by many. However, she was reluctant to quantify his value -- I am not. He is easily the equal of ten Bryan Adamses. By comparison, Ryan Reynolds is a 5, and Alannis Morrisette is a 6 (Rylannis Reynolsette -- their combined tabloid persona, was a 7.5).
The exhibit is terrifically varied in its styles and tone, an homage in itself perhaps to Shatner's many roles. When asked which piece she'd display in her home, Vangool quickly jumped at Karen Klassen's depiction of "the classic ladies' man Captain Kirk, but he also seems vulnerable and innocent." Dewar's golden nightmare proclaims Shatner the Intergalactic Love God (although it could be argued birth pronounced him thus, and the painting merely echoes that reality). Mark Dulmadge's addition practically screams at you, and is equally disturbing for appearing to be the deranged Trekkie lovechild of Shatner and Gilbert Gottfried (I think I can speak for our magazine when I say that we would pay big bucks, for verified photographic evidence of their coupling).
Zina Saunders delivers up a thoughtful and contemplative Bill, backstage, lit with a low red light -- the actor himself liked it so much he chose it as his gift from the exhibit. Fraser's amorous embrace brings a smile to anyone who remembers the classic fight that inspired it, and, well, a smile of a different color to the herpetophiles among us.
Particularly imaginative is professional LEGO sculptor Sean Kenney's impressive 9,000 piece bust of Shatner's Boston Legal character, Denny Crane.
When I spoke with Vangool about the exhibit, I suggested Nimoy as a follow-up -- he's also 76, beloved, Trek-bonified. The Bad Spock blog has given potential artists a head start, and Nimoy could be enticed by offering to fill half the exhibit with his nude photographic portrayals of plump ladies. But Vangool insists that the gallery isn't about Star Trek, nor even celebrities, and while this dashed my dreams of someday cutting the ribbon at the opening of the Bad Spock BBW exhibit, I realized she was right. Part of the glory of Shatner lies in his uniqueness, and a part of the majesty of the Shatner Show is its limitation.
When asked, Vangool admitted she was tempted to take the Show on the road, but the complexity and time it would have involved made it impossible. Many of the pieces have since been purchased by private collectors (and indeed, some of the other pieces are still up for sale), and sadly, the exhibit closed at the end of August. But it lives on (and prospers) in the book, which can be purchased from the site and in the virtual version of the Show. Vangool promises on a stack of babies (I didn't ask where she got them) that it would stay online until the end of the year, viewable by anyone with access to a Commodore 64 (or higher) at: theshatnershow.com
My writing teachers admonished me about ending with a quote, giving someone else the final say, so this is a rare opportunity to give education the bird, while giving Shatner his due for saying: "out of awe, amusement, or pity, you should come and see this unique show." The Shatner Show book is now available from theshatnershow.com.
Article supplied by Dangerous Ink an eclectic but carefully tailored mix of articles and features, in-depth interviews with upcoming and established artists, high-quality gallery profiles, sequential art, and 1 and 2 page comics from U.K, American, and European artists.

From Orange County Register...
William Shatner Goes Where He Has Never Gone Before
In a new book, the 77-year-old actor reminisces about triumphant and sad moments from his live, some of which involved O.C.
By PETER LARSEN, The Orange County Register, Thursday, May 8, 2008
Maybe you were there: Anaheim Stadium, late '70s, William Shatner on stage?
"It was enormous," Shatner says, expanding on one of the many stories he shares in Up Till Now (Thomas Dunne Books, $25.95), his new autobiography.
"I had a huge screen behind me, and some 30,000 people in the stands," the actor says of his performance there, dramatic readings of science fiction classics while an orchestra played behind him.
"And I had such a good sound system that I could whisper and they could hear it. Not only that, but there was an electrical storm glowering in the background, so there was this background of thunder all the time.
"And all somebody had to do, in those 30,000 people, was yell, 'Beam me up, Scotty!' or something to destroy the illusion, and I'd have been dead," Shatner says. "But nobody did."
If it feels like Shatner has always been there, well, as the book makes clear, that's because it's partly true.
After a childhood in Montreal, by the early '50s Shatner was acting in New York City, on stage and in early television, where he stayed into the '60s, starring in Broadway plays, films such as Judgment at Nuremberg, and television series such as The Twilight Zone.
The mid-'60s landed the role that would define the rest of his life: Capt. James T. Kirk, commander of the Starship Enterprise, though as the book reminds us, it was not a huge success in its initial three-year run, and by the end of its flight through space and television, Shatner wasn't any better off financially than he had been when it started.
The '70s brought constant guest spots on dozens of hit TV series. The '80s were defined by his second hit series, TJ Hooker, and the revival of Star Trek as a series of blockbuster movies.
Most recently, his work on The Practice and Boston Legal -- playing eccentric lawyer Denny Crane -- brought him roles worth of Emmy nominations and wins.
And we've not even mentioned his singing.
So there would seem to be plenty of good reasons for the 77-year-old Shatner to want to share the stories of his life, but when you ask him, the one he gives you is unexpected.
"I wrote it because I had the opportunity to," he says, speaking in his deliberate way by phone after a day on the set of Boston Legal. "And I chose to do it because I felt it was a way of explaining to my children and grandchildren who I was … in some minuscule form, like a book.
"So the last while I've been trying to do things that may explain who this creature was that they were looking at, and what was going on inside."
In a way, he explains, one of the most recognizable faces in show business needed to write a book to help his own family recognize who he was and what his life had meant for all those years he'd spent in the spotlight. It was an experience, that Shatner says showed him things about himself he'd never before recognized.
Shatner told his stories into a recorder and sent them to co-author David Fisher, who worked them into rough drafts of chapters, which mapped the actor's life in ways he'd never considered it before, he says.
"I saw my life laid out in a pattern, laid out in a sequential way that I'd never thought of it before, and then I went through the process of puzzling out what was the meaning of all this, where were the repetitions, the habits -- why did I do the things that I did?
"And it was alarming! First of all, the time, the interval between the first story and the last story in my head is about seven weeks," Shatner says. "But it turns out to be considerably longer than that. And it all happened so quickly and I had no idea that it was happening."
Seeing the passage of time in his life's story, Shatner says, encouraged him not just to complete the book, but also to consider everything else that he wanted to accomplish in his life.
"It reinforces a feeling of anxiety of getting thing done, of doing the things you meant to do, or you have in mind to do," he says. "There's an urgency involved that wasn't there before."
And so he talked and talked, and Fisher sculpted the stories into chapters and a book that is filled with stories.
Many are funny -- his encounter with Koko the famous gorilla, who decided to grab him by a most sensitive part of the anatomy, helps open the book.
Others poignant -- after Star Trek ended, freshly divorced and completely broke, he was practically homeless, working in summer stock around the country, sleeping behind the theaters in his pickup truck to save money.
Much of it is told with the self-deprecating tone you've seen him use on TV over the years -- talking about how he launched his singing career with uber-dramatic readings of songs such as Elton John's Rocket Man (which if you haven't seen, both he and I urge you to look up on YouTube.com.)
The tragedy of his life -- the drowning death of his third wife Nerine -- is heartbreakingly told, Shatner finding her body in their swimming pool after returning from a visit to his daughter and grandkids in Orange County.
But other than those few very sad moments, Up Till Now is a fun read, an entertaining book, with off-beat devices used throughout to keep readers on their toes. Periodically, Shatner breaks the flow of his story to suggest readers take a moment to visit WilliamShatner.com and maybe pick up a DVD of Incubus, the '60s cult movie film in Esperanto in which he starred, or a 25th anniversary Wrath of Kahn Kirk action figure.
"The idea is that there's an offhand way of telling a story, that I think insinuates itself better than sometimes just telling the story straight," Shatner says of the casual voice he adopts for the book and the tongue-in-cheek asides for his Web site, his charities and other random thoughts.
"There's more fun, and the idea here was to entertain you both in a comical way and a serious way," he says. "To try to give you rhythms of that and alter you, the reader's, feelings."
What comes through in the end -- what his kids and grandkids hopefully will see -- is the love of his work and of working that have ruled his life since he was a boy. Always Shatner was ready to work -- whether as star of a TV series or a paid contestant on a game show or as a commercial pitchman for companies such as Priceline.com (a gig that worked out well, given the stock options with which he was paid.)
So while he thinks Boston Legal will be renewed for another season, even if it's not, there's no reason he can think of why he wouldn't just look for the next job after that.
"Retirement? I keep saying, 'To where?' TGIF -- you know, I don't understand that phrase. If you're thanking God it's Friday, then you don't like what you're doing Monday through Friday, and that's a terrible way to spend your life."
And it's a life he says he's truly relished living, so much so that other than the writing of this book, he's seldom stopped to contemplate whether the past was better or the future might be brighter.
"You know, I feel like a woodworker, who is totally involved in the grain of the wood, and the fineness of the texture of the material, and carving out a little detail here or there," he says. "I'm so close to it that I don't see the table, I'm only looking at this one particular moment, and looking back and looking forward is not something I like to do.
"It's living in the present and trying to bring the sum of my experience to whatever I'm doing," Shatner says. "Whether it's talking to you, or saying hello to a grandchild."
