Funeral

    WILLIAM SHATNER cannot attend the funeral of his friend and “Star Trek” co-star Leonard Nimoy because of a prior commitment for a charity ball, the actor said on Twitter on Saturday.

    Shatner and Nimoy portrayed the two best-known characters in the original “Star Trek” television series launched in 1966 and in a series of films, with Shatner playing the adventurous Captain Kirk and Nimoy as the logic-bound, half-alien Mr. Spock. Nimoy, who had battled chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, died Friday at age 83 at his home in Los Angeles.

    New album

    KANYE WEST announced his latest album’s title on Twitter on Saturday evening. The rapper took to social media to share the new album title with fans in a series of two tweets, preparing followers five minutes in advance for the big reveal.

    “New Album title...,” West tweeted at 9:20 p.m., followed by “So Help Me God” at 9:25 p.m. with an accompanying image.

    Divorce

    ROSIE O’DONNELL filed for divorce from wife Michelle Rounds in Manhattan Supreme Court on Friday, Page Six reported. The uncontested proceeding was reportedly initiated by O’Donnell just two weeks after her departure from ABC’s “The View.” On Feb. 6, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed with an ABC rep that O’Donnell would be exiting the show to focus on her marriage and family, which includes five children.

    Friends

    SCARLETT JOHANSSON (R) is standing up for John Travolta. During the Oscars red carpet, a photo was snapped — and went viral — of Travolta with his hands around Johansson’s waist, giving her a kiss on the cheek. Johansson’s odd facial expression creeped out many who shared the photo. Later in the show, Travolta got handsy with Idina Menzel’s face, fueling the fire. But Johansson, who co-starred with Travolta in “A Love Song for Bobby Long,” says there was nothing weird about their one-sided embrace.
