Benedict Cumberbatch and Imogen Poots Should Date: Let's Make CumberPoots a Thing
Does anybody remember laughter? Laughter, in conjunction with beautiful people holding hands and smiling on red carpets?
In a world where Brangelina, Bennifer, Bennifer 2 and TomKat (sorry, Suri, have a cupcake) have all been earnestly embraced by the media and public at large, we have but one whole-hearted plea: just let us have some fun again. There's nothing wrong with being obsessed with celebrity couples (we are, totally), but you know what else is totally allowed? Laughter.
On that note, please consider throwing your support behind CumberPoots. Or, for the uneducated, Benedict Cumberbatch and Imogen Poots.

Benedict Cumberbatch Beams Aboard 'Star Trek 2'

J.J. Abrams has found another crew member.
Benedict Cumberbatch, the British actor whose star has certainly been on the rise over the past year or so, will boldly go into the realm of "Star Trek 2," according to Deadline.
Cumberbatch's role hasn't been officially announced, though many are speculating that he'll be playing the film's main villain -- though whether this is the same role for which Benicio Del Toro was once being courted is unknown. As usual, it's all hush-hush on board the Enterprise. Get More »

'Star Trek 2' Isn't Beaming Up Benicio Del Toro
UPDATE: Benicio Del Toro won't be boldly going into "Star Trek 2" after all. Vulture reports that Del Toro was in talks to join the production but the deal went asunder last Wednesday over monetary issues.
With filming scheduled to commence in January, Paramount and director J.J. Abrams have very little time to find a replacement. Del Toro was rumored to have been up for the role of the classic "Trek" villain, Khan (previously portrayed by Ricardo Montalban and his half-bare chest), but that has yet to be confirmed.

With his weirdly intense hangdog face and his occasional forays into the world of unintelligible mumbling, Benicio Del Toro often seems as though he hails from another planet — which, according to an exclusive new MTV interview with J.J. Abrams, makes him the perfect choice to play the villain in the upcoming blockbuster "Star Trek 2."
Beam us up some of that action.
So just what does Abrams say about the possibility of having Del Toro done a prosthetic forehead and rail against humanity? "He is such an amazing actor, and so versatile, he can sort of do anything," the director told MTV. "Except play Uhura."

Peter Weller Is Assimilated By 'Star Trek 2'

Move over, Borg. The "Star Trek" universe just got a brand new cyborg badass that makes your spooky square spaceship look like a used Rubik's Cube: Peter Weller.
"Robocop" himself joining the "Star Trek 2?" We'd buy that for a dollar!
Of course, the chances that Weller will actually be playing a cyborg of any kind -- Borg, cop or otherwise -- is pretty slim. Fact is, according to the Total Film report about the deal, we don't have any idea just what role J.J. Abrams has in mind for Weller, which is pretty much par for the course with the secretive Abrams and the even more top secret production of "Star Trek 2." Get More »

Paramount Will Beam Up 'Star Trek 2' in May 2013
Paramount
Paramount and J.J. Abrams have finally set a date on which to boldly go.
The oft-delayed, seemingly permanently up-in-the-air (or, rather, out-in-space) sequel to Abrams' highly successful "Star Trek" reboot seems to be coming down to Earth as it's set a release date of May 17, 2013, according to Deadline.
The studio had originally penciled in a release date of June 29, 2012, but Abrams' commitment to "Super 8" (and probably a few of the dozen other projects he seems to always have in the works) kept him from being able to deliver the sequel that soon. Get More »

Q&A: Zachary Quinto Takes on Wall Street

Zachary Quinto is most famous for his sci-fi roles -- he portrayed super-villain serial killer Sylar on NBC's "Heroes," then went on to recreate Spock for a new generation of "Star Trek" fans. But while some may wish the current financial crisis were fantasy fiction, Quinto's new movie "Margin Call" is Sylar-scary and based on something all too real.
Quinto made headlines this week for more than his well-timed financial thriller; as a casual aside during an interview, Quinto came out to a New York magazine reporter, causing a splash that Quinto himself never saw coming.
We spoke to Quinto for his take on Occupy Wall Street (and Boston, London, Phoenix, Seattle, etc.), what's next in the world of "Trek," and how revealing his sexual orientation was a gesture to the community. Get More »
