I had the TV on for some reason, and Good Day Live came on, and they were talking with Shatner, who recently won the Emmy for The Practice, is starting a new ABC-TV Series that's spun off from it, and filmed a reality TV show in James T. Kirk's "future hometown" of Riverside, IA, while punking the residents. So Shatner has a lot going on, and that can be fun.

He has a new album coming out. Not only is he singing again, this album is a collaboration with people like Joe Jackson, Henry Rollins, and Ben Folds. The first track is already getting radio airplay, and people are liking it. (Debbie Matsponoawoppanopalopbamboom of Good Day Live was quite fond of it, but she was speaking from her bed since she gave herself a concussion jumping off a building two days ago, so take that into consideration.)

Shatner + Jackson, Folds, Rollins. Buy your bottled water and recharge the iPods, folks; the world ends on October 5.
