"Well, we're talking about words you can't say," Shatner teased in an interview with Lopez before hitting the stage. "I'm gonna say it. I have a song and I'm just gonna say the word."
Shatner then appeared on stage with a full band in tow to do a comedic, Vegas-oriented lounge version of Cee-Lo's ubiquitous ode to gold diggers. The word in question was bleeped out throughout the performance and most likely sent network censors into overtime, but we have to hand it to the 'S--- My Dad Says' star for breaking out the bizarre cover on national television.
Cee-Lo's track, which is a rare cross-cultural smash hit, isn't going away any time soon. Gwyneth Paltrow confirmed earlier today that she will tackle the song during an upcoming episode of 'Glee.'

I think these are great - Shatner has been doing beat recitals of pop songs since his legendary rendition of Elton John's 'Rocket Man' in the seventies. He did an album of word jazz a few years back that was genius too.

However, that's not necessarily a bad thing. He knows how famous he is, and is capitalising on it. It's opportunism, a behaviour that is neither right nor wrong.
Basically, I say we sit back and enjoy the Captain's antics. He's having harmless fun, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Oh, and if you don't like the curse words, don't watch the videos. If you watch them, then it's your own damn fault if you're offended, so keep it to yourself. Yeah, I'm talking to you, Wayne.
Shatner------'F----YOU! I have lost all respect for you.When are you going to grow up?
