Scrimshank Records puts a Star Trek spin on LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It" in "Trekkies and We Know It."

You've got to give them credit for boldly going where no YouTuber has gone before (although Party Spock did the Star Trek/LMFAO thing first).

Although J.J. Abrams has said that no cast members from Star Trek: The Original Series will appear in his upcoming Trek sequel, it looks like Leonard Nimoy may reprise his role as Old Spock after all.

Set pics released earlier this year sparked rumors of Nimoy's return, but that turned out to be a false alarm. More solid evidence has recently come to light, though: Nimoy himself told CNN this weekend that "we're talking" about a Spock cameo in Star Trek 2.

Ain't It Cool News writer Merrick seems to believe that Nimoy's part is a done deal, saying he has " compelling independent confirmation" that Nimoy will "absolutely" be in the film.

He might be criticized for his thespian range and occasional curmudgeonry, but William Shatner is certainly loyal to his fans. Making good on a promise that he made for his one millionth Twitter follower, Shatner took said follower, Troy Pound, and his wife out to dinner, thus making him the envy of Star Trek fans and Priceline users everywhere.

A handful of new Star Trek 2 set pics have emerged from behind J.J. Abrams' on-set wall, giving us a better look at Spock's "volcano suit," which was revealed earlier this week.

On closer inspection, we can see that the outer layer of the suit is made up of individual panels, designed to resist the heat of whatever's eventually going to show up on that green screen.

Star Trek 2 is due in theaters May 17, 2013.

Jedi Witnesses of the Day

Two Jedi Knights going ship-to-ship to spread the good word about The Force run into trouble when they try to convert the crew of the Enterprise and get hit with some of Spock's logical judo.

Just because midichlorians have been recorded in Star Wars canon by George Lucas himself doesn't mean we have to accept them.
