MOVIE BUZZ: There's a theory abound that J.J. Abrams included the Beastie Boys' “Sabotage” in the new Star Trek as a nod to original Cap'n Kirk, William Shatner. Back in his Trek days, Shatner insisted on pronouncing the word “Sabo-taj” or “sabo-taag,” with a short “a” instead of the more common pronunciation of “sab-uh-tahzh.” If that's the case, awesome nod, Abrams.

TV BUZZ: The uber-producer is already at work on his next project. No, not that fringe . Abrams’ new series sounds very X-Files , teaming a female FBI agent with a mad scientist. The pilot is reportedly shooting for $10 million - maybe the 2008 television season won’t be a total loss?
