Star Trek Scoop: Young Spock, Apparently, Has Game
Paramount Pictures
This just in: Starfleet cadets are horny. Captain Kirk has always been into the ladies (human or alien), but the new Star Trek movie has a very unexpected hookup, the cast dished over the weekend: young Vulcan Spock (Zachary Quinto) and Earth woman Uhura (Zoe Saldana).
"We had to read the script and I dropped it," Saldana told reporters yesterday. "I grabbed my BlackBerry and I kept saying, 'This man's crazy! I'm not that aware about Star Trek, but I do know that they never mingled. It's crazy!' "
The original Spock, Leonard Nimoy, did not appear happy with the interspecies smooch:
"I was, frankly, extremely jealous of [Quinto's] scenes with Zoe Saldana," Nimoy said. "It's totally unfair that I never got to do that. I will never forgive the writers and the director for having put me in this position to have to be watching that rather than participating."
And don't worry, traditionalists: Young Kirk (Chris Pine) still scores with the green gals. The new Trek shows Kirk's first fling with an Orion chick (Rachel Nichols), the green slave girls from the original series.
"There was a lot of green paint on my nose after many a take," Pine said. "It wasn't as fun as it looked. It was a long day and, yes, the makeup proved to kill any buzz that I might have gotten otherwise."
