"Leave William Shatner Alone" makes him laugh

They shat on Shatner. Again and again.

The NY Daily News huffs that he flew home too late for Leonard Nimoy's funeral.

This is better than mentioning Kate Middleton's "Baby Bump" or the latest idiocy from the Kardashians? Oooh, how about some book that claims Princess Diana sucked an ice cube provocatively at Eric Clapton? Gosh, that Eric Clapton, what a handsome, vibrant stud.

The funny thing about Shatner is he's Shatner. He does what he wants. As long as the attention's on him, he's fine. Before moving on to other ridiculous things to tweet about, Shatner laughed at the "Leave William Shatner Alone" people. He said they reminded him of the teary fag who screamed on YouTube, "Leave Britney Alone!"

He simultaneously brought up the Daily News and various snarks, got sympathy, dismissed them, and mention 'em again.

Meanwhile, the center of attention at Nimoy's funeral, is SHATNER for not showing up!

The continued fascination about this guy seems to center on whether he is or isn't obtuse, and how often he's in on the joke. And, oh yes, what kind of a wig or transplant he has.

Somehow he's always in control of the situation, and manipulating the manipulators.

He's ultimately a realist. His "Saturday Night Live" appearance at a mock-Trekkie event remains a highlight of his career. "GET A LIFE," he told the idiots. He was cheered. But Trekkies were crushed. So Shatner embraced being Captain Kirk at conventions. Where he made $150 per signed photo. Meanwhile he wasn't playing Kirk on "Boston Legal." He had much more of a varied career than Nimoy. At least, he starred in several TV shows after "Star Trek."

Meanwhile Nimoy wrote two books, "I am NOT SPOCK" and later, "I am Spock." So he was pretty sharp at keeping people talking about him, too.

While Shatner recently spoke of Nimoy being his "dear friend," the fact is, they bickered quite a bit. Both wanted to control those "Star Trek" movies (Nimoy directed a few, and had some power over Shatner in that way). They had a certain competition going on, and I don't think they equally shared a table at "Comic Con" conventions, so that fans could get BOTH their signatures at the same time. Or for the same money.

Nimoy was NOT at Shatner's infamous "Comedy Central Roast," while the other important cast members were. Did anyone ask where Nimoy was? Now that he's dead, people suddenly care about such things.

Maybe one day, when he wants to call attention to himself, promote a book, or otherwise feels needy, Shatner will fully explain, to a breathless public, what went on. It could be: "I hate funerals." "I was exhausted and hate flying." Or a dozen other scenarios.

Fans are such idiotic shits, ultimately. This includes the ones who thought Shatner should've cancelled his Red Cross charity engagement the night before the funeral. Really? Cancel it when people were going to spend $1,000 a plate to sit in a banquet hall just to glimpse him? He should've forked over $50,000 or whatever, to the Red Cross and left Florida? Just because Nimoy died and fans expected he should be at the funeral? Who's to say the widow Nimoy even wanted him there? Who wants Shatner upstaging the corpse?

Other shits said Shatner should've "chartered a plane" (for $30,000) so he could sleep uncomfortably, risk being killed by an amateur pilot, all to arrive fat and puffy and unphotogenic for a funeral that could've been another 2 or 3 hour's drive away.

As one sage put it, "Nimoy could've cared less."

It ends up just being something for the Twitter idiots and Farcebook fools to fret about. These are the mediocre people who don't have a life so they mind somebody else's. These are the opinionated but essentially brain-dead trolls. Shatner has the ego that requires him to stoke these Internet assholes so he can brag that he's one of the celebs with the highest number of followers. Ultimately, when he dies, he must figure that thousands upon thousands WILL charter a bus, at least, or take a red-eye, just to stand on the sidewalk outside the funeral home, and then stand outside the gate at the cemetery snapping pictures of the celebrities who got in.

Leave Shatner alone? Hey, media idiots, leave ME alone...create an APP so that I don't have to see stupid shit and only get the essential news of the day. The essential news of the day might consist of nothing but the weather report.
