Shades of Watergate, indeed!<br /><br />"Even if the 60-year-old former starship captain carries a hint of a paunch, he looks 20 years younger than his age. And Shatner, who was once the object of ridicule in gossip columns for wearing a girdle and a tribble-like toupee during his 'T.J. Hooker' days, showed up without his infamous hairpiece. And, surprise, he's not bald -- just a little thin on top."Captain Spalding (USN-Ret'd.)http://thecaptains.usn.govnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-9820575645779687472010-04-01T19:19:59.098+02:002010-04-01T19:19:59.098+02:00Anyone who has written for the New York Times will...Anyone who has written for the New York Times will confirm that their fact checkers are extremely thorough, so the inclusion there of Sir William of Shatner is most significant.Randy Handwarmernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-32520525827848298612010-03-30T12:00:14.117+02:002010-03-30T12:00:14.117+02:00I don't know if you guys have covered this, bu...I don't know if you guys have covered this, but in this stage appearance -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfMTybkrO6Y --<br />at 1:31, Shatner says -- seemingly joking -- to Patrick Stewart, "And we look so similar."
