Levi Johnston threatened to sue, Conan O'Brien listened -- and last night he apologized for using an "imposter's" Twitter account to make fun of Sarah Palin's daughter's baby daddy.
William Shatner was back again to do a reading from the "real" Levi ... and this time, the Taco Bell inspired quotes are totally authentic.

Levi Johnston's manager has launched an ultimatum to Conan O'Brien's show over last night's William Shatner sketch: "If they don't retract, we'll sue."
NBC had no official comment, but an insider at "The Tonight Show" tells us they'll be addressing the issue on the air tonight -- and Shatner twittered he will be back for another appearance. Coincidence? We think not.
Yesterday, Shatner read what was represented as posts from Levi's Twitter account, making him look like a racially insensitive pothead -- but as we first reported, Levi's reps say the famous Palin-impaler doesn't even have a Twitter account ... or a Facebook, or a Myspace.
Levi's attorney tells us he's already dealing with Twitter over the fake account.

Levi Johnston is furious over a William Shatner skit on Wednesday's "Tonight Show"-- in which Levi was made to look like a racially insensitive pothead -- claiming the outrageous Twitter posts Conan attributed to Levi were fake.
Rex Butler -- Levi's lawyer -- tells TMZ the Alaskan is demanding a retraction from NBC. What really pisses Butler off ... before Shatner's dramatic reading of Levi's putative Twitter page, Conan said: "All real ... we did not make these up."
Butler says the Twitter page is NOT Levi's and that, "We are in the process of dealing with Twitter first. I think they have an obligation once something like this happens to make some kind of corrective measure."
Among the Tweets that were read poetry-style by Shatner ... "Anybody know where I can get some good weed" and "Whats the deal with the taxi drivers not speaking English, is there a law against it?"
So far, not a tweet from NBC.

"Star Trek" star William Shatner, 78, posed alongside Captain Kirk at Madame Tussauds in Hollywood on Wednesday.
Only one is made entirely of wax.

William Shatner showed off his dewy, overexposed flesh outside a cafe in L.A. on Wednesday.
Pretty in pink.

William Shatner couldn't get outta Regis & Kelly fast enough yesterday -- and the Shat hit the fan when he blew off the loudmouth autograph hounds waiting outside who started calling the "Star Trek" legend "Captain Jerk."
Not the best way to treat a guy whose show just got the ax.

He started the conversation yammering nonsense -- then he made it clear he wasn't Jessica Alba.
And thank goodness ... he wouldn't look quite as good in those "Sin City" chaps.

William Shatner beamed into Long Beach, Calif. for the opening of "Star Trek -- The Tour" last week -- and posed with one of the suits he wore in the series nearly 40 years ago ... while wearing a rhinocerosish leather jacket. 
Shatner did not fit into J.J. Abrams new "Star Trek" movie.
Christmas came early for Trekkies when Mr. Spock and Captain Kirk were snapped together at the Spike TV Scream Awards in L.A. on Friday. Beam us up, Scotty!
Both are 76-years-old, but Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner have not yet reached the final frontier!
Set phasers to stunned.

In honor of George Clooney joining Brad Pitt as the only two-time Sexiest Man Alive, we've subtitled this week's all-male revue in similar, hyperbolic fashion. And we can't help but also think of Mel Gibson's immortal words back in 1985 upon being crowned the first such honoree: "That implies there are a lot of dead guys who got more points than I did."
O.J. Simpson ("Scariest Man Alive"): Resurrecting a cold case that even his Naked Gun pals could solve, Number #32 has suddenly decided to tackle third and very long with a most unusual play call – the hypothetical confession (or, it all depends what your definition of "if" is). Crusading dad Ron Goldman has already moved to seize any of the Florida author's personal proceeds from the new book; publisher Judith Regan has tried to justify her actions via a strained I-was-a-victim-too plea on The Drudge Report. But there's no getting around it; if Truman Capote were around today, he'd be readying a much better book about O.J., one that could very easily be called In Bold Blood.

For many around the country, this week was all about back-to-school. But in the Zone, where reading, writing and arithmetic take a backseat to autograph signing, it was more along the lines of back-to-DUIs, back-to-skeletons-in-the-closet and back-to-New-York, Jon.
Jon Stewart:
There's nothing quite like the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences running away from its most recent previous Oscar show host, as fast as it possibly can. It happened with Chris Rock, and now it's happened again in the wake of The Daily Show host's stint on The Yearly Show. By rushing out the news of Ellen De Generes' selection as the next MC, a full four months on the calendar before Stewart was announced as savior in 2005, AMPAS is treating him like an Emmy loser rather than the winner that he is. There was no mention of Stewart in the press release that went out to the media late Thursday, just backhanded jabs such as this quote from producer Laura Ziskin: "the show requires someone who can keep the show alive and fresh and moving, as well as someone who is a flat-out great entertainer." Oh well, if early Internet petitioners have their way, Stewart will be in the running in the fall of 2008 for a much bigger MC-ing gig, one that will probably require the adoption of a middle initial.

The celebrity roast is an odd event: a performer reaches such a high level of success that his friends -- and a few total strangers that are only famous for insulting people -- take turns making digs at said celeb and anyone else in attendance.
So was the scene last night when William Shatner, best known as Captain James T. Kirk from "Star Trek," was the guest of honor at the "Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner." Jason Alexander served as the evening's Roast Master with Andy Dick, Farrah Fawcett, Greg Giraldo, Lisa Lampanelli, Artie Lange, Nichelle Nichols, Patton Oswalt, Jeffrey Ross, George Takei, Betty White and Fred Willard serving as roasters.
Jeffrey Ross gave cameras a sneak peek at his material on his way into the show: "He went from 'T.J. Hooker' to P.F. Chang's ... Is he on 'Boston Legal' or Boston Market?"
Shatner may have been the man of honor, but everyone was a target last night -- especially George Takei, who recently came out of the closet. But the line of the night (that we can actually repeat) goes to Lisa Lampanelli: "Betty White is so old, that on the first game show she ever did, the grand prize was fire."
Comedy Central will air the roast this Sunday at 10PM.
