Beam us up, Scotty!

Zoe Saldana says she's onboard to start filming the sequel to this summer's blockbuster megahit Star Trek.

"We're working on it," Saldana, who plays Uhura in director J.J. Abrams' revived sci-fi franchise, tells me. "They were calling to see where we were going to be and how my schedule is next year."

She smiled, "Just that was worth me doing a cartwheel when I got the phone call because I cannot wait to put on the suit and go back to the Enterprise, take my shirt off and be with all those yummy guys."

For those who can't wait that long for more Saldana, we've got Avatar coming up. Yes, she's seen director James Cameron's much anticipated flick, in which she stars as Neytiri…

If Zachary Quinto isn't careful he'll wind up on America's Most Wanted one day.

The Star Trek star found himself answering to cops recently while filming an upcoming Funny or Die video at L.A. bakery Kiss My Bundt.

In the comedy bit, he plays a pistol-wielding robber.

"When someone saw Zach hold up a real gun and scream, 'This is a goddamn hold up!' they called the police," Bundt owner Chrysta Wilson tells us.

And get this, the cops were called a second time during another take of the same scene.

Wilson said she's not surprised the make-believe drama appeared to be real...

If Audrina Patridge is getting it on with Star Trek hottie Chris Pine, might we see some of it on her upcoming reality show?

The Hills starlet told me the other day at the MTV Movie Awards that the cameras will certainly capture some lovin'. Let's just hope Mr. Pine is around once shooting begins.

"There's always romance," she said. "We haven't started filming it yet, but it will be mostly my life. I'm really opening up in everything that I have going on in my life right now—everything."

Her younger brother Mark also promises his sister will reveal more than ever...

Proposition 8 may have been upheld by the courts today, but George Takei is hopeful it won't be forever.

The Star Trek star, who married longtime love Brad Altman on Sept. 14, 2008, predicts it will take another ballot initiative to once again allow gay marriage in California.

"I am confident that if we go through this again, we will ultimately prevail and our [State] Supreme Court will go into the dust of history," Takei told me earlier today.

But what about the court's declaration that same-sex unions that took place before the passage of Prop 8 are still valid?

See ya later, musicals.

That's Zac Efron's message to the world of song and dance.

Not only are there no more High School Musicals in his future, but he made international headlines last week when he pulled out of the Footloose remake.

"It doesn't mean no more musicals forever, but right now I had so much fun doing 17 Again that I think that's the direction I wanna head in," Efron told me at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.

And it certainly sounds like he's taking another step in that direction with The Death & Life of Charlie St. Cloud...

Just how steamy will the new Star Trek movie be?

The film's star Chris Pine told us not too long ago that the upcoming installment of the outer-space franchise has been "sexed up for a new generation." However, he wants everyone to know that the Starship Enterprise hasn't been turned into an intergalactic flying orgy.

Back in November, Pine, who stars as Capt. Kirk in the new Trek flick, said he not only shares some steamy lip-locking with Rachel Nichols, but he also predicted a scene in which Zoe Saldana takes off her shirt will "become famous."

Fast-forward to Sunday night at HBO's Golden Globes party...

Learning to speak a foreign language for a movie is one thing, but how about perfecting a made-up language from outer space?

Clifton Collins Jr. said that's exactly what he and Eric Bana had to do for J.J. Abrams' much-anticipated Star Trek movie.

“Me and Eric are the new Romulans,” Collins said of their space alien characters in the flick. "They had a linguist come in and invent Romulan!”

We caught up with Collins last night in downtown L.A. at a party for the limited-edition movie posters celebrity tattoo artist Mr. Cartoon has designed for the upcoming Robert De Niro and Al Pacino flick, Righteous Kill.
