When it comes down to it, if fans are going to get to see William Shatner return to Star Trek, Paramount Pictures is going to have to fork over the green.
During Sunday night's Emmys, Shatner told TV Guide's Michael Ausiello that Paramount is apparently balking at the amount of money that Shatner wants to appear in two episodes of "Star Trek: Enterprise" this season on UPN.
"When I talked to them about money, they blinked," he said, adding that he could still make the appearance if UPN executives "open their eyes."
Shatner, who was attending the ceremony as a new Emmy winner himself for his guest appearance on "The Practice," is getting ready for a new series he's starring in the fall called "Boston Legal" on ABC.

William Shatner to release album (http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=2baeef1a4f44049a)
U.S. actor William Shatner, former star of Star Trek and T.J. Hooker will have an album entitled Has Been released Oct. 4.
XFM.com reported Monday the album includes a cover version of Pulp's Common People with Shatner doing a duet with 1980s singer songwriter Joe Jackson.
Also included in the album are the song Trying performed by Shatner, Ben Folds and alternative rock singer Aimee Mann, and a track called I Can't Get Behind That sung with Henry Rollins, XFM.com said.
It is a great record and it is really worth going out and doing some shows in major cities, Folds told Billboard. Shatner was not a musician at all. But he is still part of the music. I've never heard a record quite like it.

Didn't he learn his lesson with the last album?

IMHO, he deserves a good paycheck, him and the TOS crew MADE STAR TREK what it was and is.
BTW, what do ya'll think of the commercial with him and Leonard Nimoy about the travel website? I thought the two commercials rocked.

I love em, they're hilarious. The dynamic between them is just gold, even if they do/did hate each other for a bit.
