Not. Repeat, not. Boldly. Going where. No man has gone before.

William Shatner laughs over the phone as he dismisses the rumour. When billionaire Richard Branson announced his Virgin Galactic space fleet would be taking civilians on a week-long jaunt into the galaxy for a mere $200,000 apiece, every news report claimed Shatner Captain Kirk himself had reserved a seat. "No, no, that's not true," the actor, a month away from 75, says from the set of Boston Legal. "Well, they're saying I did, but I did not. They're getting some mileage out of it, that's for sure.

I'm asking for a cease and desist. Who the heck wants to go out into I remind him that if the rumours were true, then by the time of that first space flight 2008 he would tie John Glenn for being the oldest man in space at age 77. Shatner is in high spirits these days. Coming off back-to-back Emmy Awardsfor his role as the sleazy Denny Crane, first on The Practice, then on Boston Legal, he says he's having the time of his life. "The uniqueness of Denny is what drew me in to that role," Shatner says.

"David Kelly, the producer, is really a genius. He asked me to have a meal with him, and he talked to me about his concept of what he had. And the combination of the genius of David and this extraordinary character, drew me back out into a series when I really didn't want to do television any more. "Now I've got myself in this flow of work, which is great but I had in mind more leisure time. I'm probably enjoying it more than any other acting work I've done in a long time." GoldenPalace.com, an online casino site, paid $75,000 for one of his kidney stones.

You know, the pebble of hardened body waste you dispose of after surgery. What's even more surprising is that Shatner turned down their initial offer of $15,000 because, he figured, it was worth more. "It's absolutely true, I turned down their initial offer of $15,000," he says. turned it down knowing that my tunics from Star Trek have commanded more than $100,000. And it went from $15,000 to $25,000, and then when this thing got to Calgary, I said, look, even Calgary's talking about it, give me $75,000." It wasn't that Shatner's ego had reached galactic proportions he was trying to raise the money for Habitat FINAL DESTINATION 3 (14A) Nightly 7:20 9:20 Matinees Sat Sun 1:10 3:10 Late Show Sat Night 11:20 FIREWALL (PG) Nightly 6:50 Matinees Sat Sun 1 :30 Late Show Sat Night 1 1 :05 THE PINK PANTHER (PG) Nightly 7:00 9:1 Matinees Sat.

Sun 1 :00 3:00 Late Show Sat Night 11:10 a century has been both cruel and kind to Shatner. The McGill University graduate struggled in Hollywood until finding a role in Star Trek; shortly after its cancellation, his first wife left him with all the monies from it. He slept in a truck bed camper until meatier roles came along. After the success of T.J. Hooker and a few Star Trek films, in 1997, his third wife, Ner-ine Kidd, accidentally drowned in their swimming pool.

But Shatner says he has no regrets. "I made the decisions I had to make based on what I was doing at the time, to the best of my ability," he says. "The way it's all turned out, with all the storm and rain that went on, I'm happy now and I've got a full and loving life. I can't in my right mind say I would have done anything different, even though there have been a lot of terrible moments in my life." The success of the sleazy, egotistical Denny Crane is the closest the actor has ever come to stepping outside the giant shadow of Captain James Tiberius Kirk. "I don't know if it's helping me step out of that shadow," he says.

"If you think so, then it's so. My way of looking at it is Captain Kirk was a long time ago and there are a lot of things that have gone on since. If Denny does it for you, then so be it." His Star Trek dialogue, peppered with dramatic pauses, has long been fodder for comedians everywhere, and is part of the reason he's plagued by the character. But no one has had more fun making fun of Shatner than Shatner, who seems to play a caricature of his former Kirk self with almost every new role.

He is in a small group with Sylvester Stallone, Prince, Tom Green, Kevin Costner and Roberto Benigni, as the only directors to "direct" themselves into Razzie Award for Worst Actor.

Despite this, his 2004 album with Ben Folds, Has Been, was critically acclaimed, as Shatner covered Pulp's Common People, among other songs. 4i NOT recommended for young children jjjgjjjjggjj NOW PLAYING!
