This will make a lot of people happy– a few editors on this site in particular: James T. Kirk and The Artist Formerly Known as Ol’ Dead Eye are history.

A source is quoted as saying “Chris Pine was forced to dump Audrina because his camp wants him to take the right strategic steps to become a big movie star. Dating a reality show star would tarnish his image.”

The couple had only been together for a few weeks and probably weren’t all that serious, but Pine’s people reportedly became concerned because the “media” was so interested in the pairing.

Don’t get me wrong. I agree that Pine could do much better and I’m glad those two have split like Lindsay Lohan’s Labia. I just think it’s a little strange, and, dare I say douchey to date or not date someone based on what your agent and PR people tell you.

Chris Pine, I have just three letters for you: WTF? You’re killin’ me here, dude. Sources are confirming that my Star Trek hottie and The Artist Formerly Known as Ceiling Eyes are, in fact, bumping uglies. Actually, that’s a misstatement. They are bumping a sexy-part into an ugly.

“Chris and his girlfriend broke up in March, and he is definitely single,” an insider reveals to In Touch. “They went out, and Audrina is into him.” On May 2, a few weeks before being caught at the Red Lion with friends, the reality star, 24, and the Star Trek hottie, 28, kept a low profile, but left his building early in the morning — just a few minutes apart. And though they are being secretive about a relationship, the two first met at Tao in Las Vegas at ShoWest. “They both got awards and were at a dinner with friends. They said a quick hello,” the insider says. “That’s where they met. Chris was looking at Audrina a lot, and you could tell that he thought she looked pretty — he was intrigued.” Audrina left Chris’ apartment building on May 2, just 10 minutes before he left to board a flight.

Sigh. Chris. You were totally on the list to be my Next Big Crush after Adam Lambert wins Idol tomorrow and that whole thing dies down. You have everything it takes: Looks, talent, money … Yeah, that’s about all it takes. But if you’re going to be out there rewarding Audrina for whatever it is she’s done to her face, I want no part of this. I will find another boy-crush, I’m sure. There are many attractive men out in Hollywood just waiting to be blog-stalked by me. Consider this me blog-dumping you.

Suggestions for my new crush?

Hey, Chris Pine? Yeah, you. Hot Star Trek stud with an enormous potential career in your future? You were spotted out clubbing with The Artist Formerly Known as Ceiling Eyes. Her “fans” know her as “Audrina Patridge,” but I know her as “The Relationship That Will Ruin Your Career.”

You are pretty definitely A-list right now, Chris. People take you seriously as an actor. I know this is all really new to you, and the idea of dating someone as famous as T.A.F.K.A.C.E. must seem really exciting right now. But it shouldn’t be. You’re more important than her now, by a lot. You wanna be in the tabloids? Fine. Date Audrina Patridge. You want a career as an actor? Date Natalie Portman. Then we have the Star Trek/Star Wars story to play off of for months and months, and you’re dating someone who can actually help your career.

If all of that fails, Chris?

You can’t kill Star Trek no matter what you do.

You’ve probably already seen Beet’s vlog where she gives a review of last night’s premiere of the new Star Trek movie.  Well she isn’t the only one who really liked it.  Thursday night’s revenues totalled $7M which is a great number for a mid-week opening.  This movie is expected to pull in somewhere between $60M and $70M dollars this weekend.  Some are even saying $100M, which would truly be out of this world.  You Trekkies are hardcore.

Oh, and I cannot tell a lie.  The retro gal that I am, I really wanted to put up a picture of Leonard Nimoy.  But the hormones won out.  Enjoy Chris Pine.  You’re welcome.

You guys I saw the new Star Trek film tonight!!!!! Being the Trekkie that I am, I felt compelled to do a video blog about my thoughts. If you don’t feel like watching it, here’s the Cliffs Notes: IT WAS AMAZING AND YOU NEED TO SEE IT!!!

Is everyone getting super psyched for the new Star Trek movie??? I know I am!!! (But, then again, I’m a huge nerd.)

I was interested to learn today that the lead role of a young Captain Kirk was originally offered to Matt Damon — but he passed on it. The role was given to newcomer Chris Pine. However, it seems like director J.J. Abrams has made his peace with that.

He tells Life magazine, “I actually approached Matt and we had some discussions, but everything happens for a reason. On the one hand, it would have been great to work with Matt – but at the end of the day, it was such a better move to cast the movie with unknowns … It is fun to discover the stars of tomorrow, but even more so, just like with the first Star Wars, you didn’t know who those people were when you saw the movie. You believed that guy was Luke Skywalker. You didn’t recognize him from six other movies. You bought into who this guy was. It is a slippery slope when you cast any actor that is somewhat known. We weren’t beholden to any fame meter.”

I agree! I think it’s great that the cast is composed of relative unknowns. It’s Star Trek, after all — it doesn’t need a big name to be a box office draw. Plus I think Chris Pine is absolutely edible!

Lots and lots of very yummy man-candy showed up for the big premiere of the new Star Trek film — in Australia!

The 11th big-screen film in the sci-fi series had its world premiere Tuesday at the Sydney Opera House in Australia in advance of its debut in theaters May 8.

Among the stars on hand: Chris Pine, who takes on William Shatner’s old role as James Kirk; Zachary Quinto, who inherits Leonard Nimoy’s Mr. Spock; Karl Urban, filling the shoes of DeForest Kelley’s Dr. McCoy; and Eric Bana, who plays a villainous Romulan.

Out of admiration for the original Kirk, Pine noted that when he was cast, he wrote Shatner a “letter of introduction and said who I was and what I was doing.”

Heh. I love that Chris Pine did that. I also love that he doesn’t mention William Shatner writing back. I’m sure he was too busy buried in a pool of liquor and cigarettes and reciting the words to “Rocket Man.” Seriously, have you seen that YouTube clip? You MUST see it. It’s here. Go watch the crazy.

So I don’t know much about this Chris Pine kid, but I definitely think he’s a total hottie, and I’m looking forward to seeing him as Kirk, and later, hopefully, in my bedroom. But that’s just me.
