(Self-explanatory)

If you’re anything like me, you’ve been dying to know what’s up with Zachary Quinto, and can bench press in excess of 150 pounds.  As it turns out, Quinto and his eyebrows, Morty and Steve, will be playing George Gershwin in a Dreamworks biopic, which is one of three that Steven Spielberg may choose to direct next.  Spielberg, of course, is the living legend responsible for such films as Schindler’s List and Indiana Jones 4.

Quinto will play the famed composer and pianist, who with brother Ira was responsible for more than a dozen Broadway shows before dying at 38. DreamWorks is even supplying accent and dialogue coaches for Quinto, and shooting could begin as soon as April. [DeadlineHollywood]

This is really exciting! — Is what I would’ve said if I was 70-year-old gay man.  If you guessed correctly, please, take this decorative candelabra as a parting gift.

Fun Fact: Josh Harnett often checks into hotels under the assumed name “Zachary Squinto.”

ZACHARY QUINTO IS REALLY GOOD AT SWEARING

09.02.09 Written by Vince Mancini

New Spock Zachary Quinto stars in this Funny or Die video called Hostage: A Love Story.  It’s basically a one-joke premise with the one joke being that he swears a lot, but I have to admit, Quinto hasn’t made me laugh this much since Buspockke.  The only thing this video could use is Gary Busey jumping down from the rafters shouting, “I’m your worst nightmare, butthorn!”

NEW SPOCK SUCKS AT FINGERING

05.13.09 Written by Vince Mancini

It appears new Spock Zachary Quinto is bad at something besides styling his hair.  Word is he couldn’t do the Vulcan salute, so they had to glue his fingers together.

Quinto, 31, admitted he found it impossible to form his fingers into the distinctive V-shaped gesture, saying: “It’s much harder than it looks. Seriously.”

One on-set insider said: “Zach could do the salute some of the time but only after he’d positioned his fingers the right way off-camera.

“In some scenes he has to do the salute while speaking his lines so they ended up using skin-protective superglue, like they use in hospitals, to stick his fingers together.”

William Shatner, who played Captain Kirk in the long-running TV show and the first seven Star Trek films, was also unable to do the salute, so he used fishing line to tie his fingers together. [news.com.au]

Admit it, you’re doing the finger thing right now aren’t you. Yeah, I can do it too.  God we’re cool.  Look, I can roll my tongue too.  Anyway, this is nothing to be ashamed of. Hollywood is full of stories like this.  Like on the set of the first Matrix, how they put peanut butter on the roof of Keanu’s mouth to make his lips move.  True story.

LEONARD NIMOY ON SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

05.11.09 Written by Vince Mancini

This week’s Saturday Night Live featured a surprise appearance on Weekend Update by Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Leonard Nimoy – who looks pretty damn good for 78.  The segment wasn’t really funny, but it did include Leonard Nimoy saying “dickhead,” which was nice.  Though I think he may have been referring to Quinto, who apparently tried to fashion his hair into a penis.  He does that with everything.
