Screen Media Films(NEW YORK) — Having just celebrated his 90th birthday this week, William Shatner is also welcoming his latest film into theaters and on demand.
Senior Moment is a romantic comedy that has the former starship Enterprise captain playing a retired NASA pilot and ladies man, whose beloved classic Porsche — and need for speed — gets him in trouble. His character can’t resist drag racing against a guy who is young enough to be his grandson, and that causes a life-altering change for Shatner’s character, he tells ABC Audio.
“[He’s] gotten older and they take his license away because he has an accident, and the whole movie’s about ‘They’ve taken my life, my youth away with my license. What am I going to do?’ And the movie is about what is he going to do?”
He’s forced to take the bus, in fact, but that leads to love when he falls for a fellow senior rider, a free spirit named Caroline, played by Jean Smart.
Shatner says he’s tickled by being a leading man in a romantic comedy at 90, but he notices how he’s being described differently since his Captain Kirk and T.J. Hooker days.
“Well, it’s true. In a previous interview, they said, ‘Oh, he’s quite cute’ some of the people [said], ‘quite cute’,” Shatner shares. “And then they reexamined. Ah, ‘He’s quite hunky.’ …What do you mean ‘quite cute’? Well, ‘quite hunky’.”
“So I said, ‘Now we’ve got to work on the word ‘quite’,” Shatner says with a laugh.
Senior Moment also stars Back to the Future series veteran Christopher Lloyd.

John Wolfsohn/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — Bindi Irwin and her husband, Chandler Powell, welcomed their baby girl into the world on Thursday, and in an Instagram announcement Friday, they revealed their bundle of joy’s name is a tribute to her late dad Steve “The Crocodile Hunter” Irwin.
The baby’s name is Grace Warrior Irwin Powell, they revealed. “Our graceful warrior is the most beautiful light … Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad and his legacy as the most incredible Wildlife Warrior,” the conservationist and former Dancing with the Stars winner declared.
In a recent interview with The Bump, Bindi revealed that her soon-to-be bundle of joy had been dubbed “Wildlife Warrior,” in honor of her dad, but they were “waiting to meet her” before they decided on a name.
“My dad was the first person to create the term ‘Wildlife Warrior,'” explained Bindi at the time. “Being a Wildlife Warrior means to stand up and speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. We’ve been referring to our daughter as our Baby Wildlife Warrior.”
Bindi and Chandler got married exactly a year before they welcomed their baby into the world, so Happy Anniversary wishes as well as congratulations are in order for the pair.
Walt Disney Television/Lou Rocco(LOS ANGELES) — Pitch Perfect star Anna Camp told fans she needs a little extra courage to help her through the week before writing them an inspiring note.
In an emotionally raw Instagram post on Thursday, the 38-year-old actress expressed that she had a lot to get off her chest.
“I rarely make a personal post such as this, but I need to speak out and in a way reach out to anyone willing to listen,” the True Blood alum confessed, noting how the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected her mental and physical health.
A fraction of the recent tragedies plaguing Camp’s life are “having experienced personal pain and loss, both physically and emotionally to the point of shock that my body could even handle it, having Covid and all the lingering effects, losing a family member.”
The actress furthered that she also found herself drifting apart and disconnecting from friends who were once close to her and that she recently was abused and had to rely on “every once of courage I had to survive and save myself.”
“Today I’m giving this medal to myself. And to anyone who feels the way I do,” she wrote. “I’m tired of not feeling good enough.”
Added Camp, “Never let anyone throw your trauma in your face and use it against you. Hold onto your courage. And keep moving forward. I am worthy. And so are you.”
“This post is for anyone who is tired of smiling and nodding while silently screaming on the inside,” the Desperados star closed out. “If I could give each of you a medal, I would.”
Shortly after penning her encouraging message, Camp returned to Instagram to announce her “best friend” Rocky, her beloved dog of 12 years, passed away.
ABC/Byron Cohen(LOS ANGELES) — A day after Chrissy Teigen announced she was pulling the plug on her Twitter account, the Bring on the Funny host took to Instagram with more on what prompted the sudden decision.
After reiterating her previous statement that the platform “no longer serves me as positively as it does negatively,” Teigen went on to stress that it was “absolutely NOT Twitter’s fault.”
“I believe they do all they can to combat relentless bullying, any honestly, it’s not the bullying!!” she wrote. “You guys have no idea how much they’ve reached out and worked with my team and me personally. It’s not the platform. It’s not the ‘bullying.'”
“And it’s not the trolls. The trolls I can deal with, although it weighs on you,” she continued. “It’s just me.”
“I have to come to terms with the fact some people aren’t gonna like me. I hate letting people down or upsetting people and I feel like I just did it over and over and over,” she added. “Someone can’t read that they disappointed you in some way every single day, all day without physically absorbing that energy. I can feel it in my bones.”
Chrissy’s Twitter account has since been deleted and all links to her previous tweets direct to an error page declaring “this account doesn’t exist.”
