Here's the Scoop...

Just as Anisa promised, Steve is here bringing you all of the nooz!

Before we get into it I just wanted to take a moment to express sadness over the passing of Leonard Nimoy.

He was more than just Dr. Spock. He was a great stage performer, actor, director, and artist. It's sad to have lost such a wonderful talent.

Below, we have a story about Nimoy's 'Star Trek' co-star William Shatner expressing his feelings about his friend... and more.

Be Well,
Steve

Michelle Rodriguez apologizes for minority superhero remarks
Michelle Rodriguez apologized Saturday for her remarks on minority actors in traditionally white superhero roles.

The 36-year-old actress ruffled feathers with her comments to TMZ on Friday. Rodriguez dismissed Green Lantern rumors as "the dumbest thing [she's] ever heard," and declared, "I think it's so stupid ... because of this whole 'minorities in Hollywood' thing ... it's like, stop stealing all the white people's superheroes, like, make up your own."

Rodriguez later took to Facebook to clarify and apologize for her remarks. The actress said she thought her comments were taken out of context "because a lot of people got offended," and apologized for her "tendency to speak without a filter."

"It's time to stop," she asserted. "Stop trying to take what's already there and fit a culture into it. I think it's time for us to write our own mythology and our own story -- every culture. So that's what I meant. And I'm sorry if it came off rude or stupid -- that's not what I meant. Cheers."

Rodriguez last appeared as Luz in Machete Kills, and is scheduled to reprise Letty Ortiz in Furious 7. The Fast & Furious sequel opens in theaters April 3, and co-stars Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto, Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw and late actor Paul Walker as Brian O'Conner.


NeNe Leakes, Khloe Kardashian could replace Kelly Osbourne on 'Fashion Police'
Reality television stars Nene Leakes and Khloe Kardashian are reportedly being considered as possible replacements for Kelly Osbourne on E!'s Fashion Police.

The network announced Osbourne's departure from the show Friday, stating she is leaving to "pursue other opportunities." The revelation follows Osbourne's claims that she was considering leaving the show in light of her co-pannelist Giuliana Rancic's comments that teen actress Zendaya's dreadlocks smelled like "patchouli oil and weed" at the Oscars.

Following the negative reaction to her comments, Rancic publicly apologized to Zendaya in a short clip.

E! said in a statement that "no decisions have been made on [Osbourne's] replacement," but sources told Us Weekly Kardashian and Leakes have been suggested as possible panelists.

Kardashian rose to fame in the reality television series Keeping Up With the Kardashians, where she stars alongside her sisters Kourtney and Kim Kardashian and her half-sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner, and Leakes has had several minor roles in television and is best known for playing herself in Bravos' The Real Housewives of Atlanta since 2008.

Shatner tweets Nimoy was 'serious, practical but, unlike Spock, very warm and loving'
William Shatner answered numerous Twitter questions about Leonard Nimoy Sunday after he missed his old friend's funeral in California due to a charity commitment in Florida.

The pair starred in the original Star Trek TV series and film franchise. Nimoy died Friday at the age of 83.

In the online conversation, Shatner revealed that he and Nimoy began to realize in the 1970s how much people loved their respective characters Capt. James T. Kirk and Spock. He also replied, "Of course!" when quizzed about whether there are any inside jokes only he and Nimoy would understand.

Pressed to divulge if Nimoy was anything like Spock, Shatner explained, "He was serious, practical but unlike Spock very warm and loving."

So, what kind of father was Nimoy?

"The best. He was also an amazing uncle to my daughters," Shatner said.

He was further asked about why Nimoy didn't attend his Comedy Central roast in 2006.

"He felt it was inappropriate he didn't want me to do it," Shatner shared.
