KIRK MISSES CUT

June 21, 2007 — CAPT. Kirk is jealous of Mr. Spock. William Shatner, the stoic commander of the Starship Enterprise on "Star Trek," is said to be furious with the producers of "Star Trek XI" because they offered Leonard Nimoy, Kirk's lovable Vulcan sidekick, a cameo role but didn't give him one. Shatner "is very upset," said an insider, "and has been lobbying for a role." The film, to be directed by "Lost" producer and director J.J. Abrams, is to start shooting later this year. Shatner's manager, Larry Thompson, said, "I don't know that to be the case, so I can't comment."
