Captain Kirk -- Larger in Real Life

William Shatner beamed into Long Beach, Calif. for the opening of "Star Trek -- The Tour" last week -- and posed with one of the suits he wore in the series nearly 40 years ago ... while wearing a rhinocerosish leather jacket.

Shatner did not fit into J.J. Abrams new "Star Trek" movie.

8. Oh and he's closer to 76, not 70 so I'd say he was doing just fine.

Zulu!

Scotty!

Mr. Spock!

Chekov!

Captain Kirk!

Lt Uhura!

Captain James T. Kirk of the starship, Enterprise

Aye, Captain!

That was some of the great writing that somehow, Trekkies think is "Skakespeare". Tragic.

12. Denny Crane! Mad cow! I love Denny Crane even MORE than Capt. Kirk.

13. "Growing Old Gracefully" doesn't mean getting fat and bloated. He's not THAT bad, but hes in bad enough shape that usually brings serious health issues. You can grow old and still avoid quite a few problems if you decide to keep your waist under 50 inches. Nothing healthy about it,

14. He is great
His success with Boston Legal shows he still has it
I think for a man his age he has more magnitude than most younger than he is
TMZ just doesnt like it that he doesnt give them something to report on every day
Not all celebs are trash like most you love to report on
Denny Crane Captin Kirk both superb

15. Years ago, I served his entire family (25+) in Montreal, He showed up with his two bitches: a blond and a brunette. They each sat by his side. But, the highlight of the evening was when his mother said "Billy don't talk your sister that way!" Even icons have nagging parents....
