Top Moments: The Office's Barf-o-rama, Paris Hilton's Topless Cameo and More!

Let's face it: TV this week was pretty disgusting. On Heroes, Sylar crawled out of his grave and back from the dead — a development that made us disgusted with the show's writers. A sense of moral outrage accompanied the news that Chase killed an African dictator on House. Paris Hilton made us feel shame for liking her, and then got graphically beheaded on Supernatural. The Office elevated a pregnancy cliché — morning sickness — to high comedy art. South Park made us rethink Mexican cuisine. And Madonna and Lady Gaga made a gross display of themselves on SNL. Welcome to this week's Top Moments: Profound Disgust Edition.

Fringe: How Many Alternate Realities Will There Be Exactly?

We have good news for those Fringe fans who might have been confused by the first season's head-exploding finale: The second season will only deal with one alternate reality, according to producers.

"We have decided that, though science acknowledges a multiverse [many alternate realities], we are only going to deal with two," executive producer Jeff Pinkner said.  In house, Pinkner said, they're referring to the two realities as "over here" and "over there" — the latter presumably referring to where Dr. William Bell lives. "[The season] takes place predominantly over here, but what takes place over there has great impact on the season," Pinkner teased.

Leonard Nimoy Delivers Letterman's Top Ten List

In a late-night Star Trek publicity push, the erstwhile Spock, Leonard Nimoy, beamed down to The Late Show with David Letterman Thursday to deliver the night's Top Ten list — not to mention help Letterman differentiate between Star Trek and Star Wars.

After receiving an apology from a befuddled Letterman for his Star-confusion, Nimoy, who cameos in J.J. Abrams' reboot, presented the ...

Go Behind the Scenes at the Star Trek Premiere

If you can't wait until Star Trek's May 8 premiere, TV Guide Network has you covered.

Our cameras were on the red carpet for the film's Hollywood premiere, and you can catch all the action on TV Guide Network's Big Movie Premiere: Star Trek (Thursday, May 7 at 8 pm/ET). The one-hour special features interviews with the cast and creative team and loads of behind-the-scenes footage and secrets from the set.

The film, directed by Lost and Fringe creator J.J. Abrams, reboots the nerd-adored franchise as a young James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and Commander Spock (Heroes' Zachary Quinto) take the U.S.S. Enterprise on its maiden voyage to stop the evil Nero (Eric Bana) from destroying mankind.

The special also includes sit-downs with read more

Fringe: Meet Dr. William Bell

We are sad to report that the identity of the actor who is playing the mysterious Dr. William Bell on Fringe has leaked before he could make a surprise appearance on the season finale.

But we are very happy to report that we've confirmed the actor is Star Trek legend Leonard Nimoy! Nimoy's casting, as first reported by the FringeTelevision blog, which we hear is all but a done deal at this point, may finally put to rest all those fan-created conspiracy theories about Dr. Bell (He's a cyborg! He's Nina's prosthetic hand! He's Walter!).

Nimoy is no stranger to J.J. Abrams productions: He also reportedly reprises the role of Spock in a cameo for the wunderkind director's Trek reboot, which hits theaters on May 8. Scuttlebutt says he's a time-traveling, "from the future" Spock, who returns to help the young Spock (Heroes' Zachary Quinto).

Nimoy will first appear in the season finale, and will then recur throughout next season.

What do you think of Nimoy's casting? A fanboy's dream? Too nerdy?

Nimoy-autographed Napkin Could Make Big Bang at Auction

A napkin which served as the catalyst for one of TV's funniest moments in years is being auctioned off to benefit charity. And odds are, it will make a big bang as far as bidding goes.

In the Dec. 15 holiday episode of CBS' The Big Bang Theory, Penny almost literally knocked Sheldon out of his sneakers by gifting him with a Cheesecake Factory napkin autographed by Leonard Nimoy. Upon learning that the Star Trek icon also wiped his mouth with the napkin, Sheldon effuses ... read more

Which Stars Will Trek to George Takei's Wedding?

Star Trek vet George Takei and partner Brad Altman have set a wedding date, and they're beaming in a few former Trek costars for the occasion. The wedding party may look familiar: Takei tells People that the best man will be Walter Koenig, who played Ensign Chekov, while the matron of honor will be Nichelle Nichols — aka Lt. Uhura. Leonard Nimoy and his wife, meanwhile, have scored a spot on the guest list. (Is Captain Kirk being left out here? No surprise, if you follow the backstage tales....))Takei and Altman announced their engagement following the recent California ruling that made gay marriage legal. The pair has been together for 21 years. Upon their announcement, Takei called the marriage ruling "simply exquisite." He and Altman plan to marry Sept. 14. — Anna DimondRelated:• Star Trek's George Takei: Gay Marriage Ruling Is "Simply Exquisite"• Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi to Get De Married read more
