“Star Trek: Discovery” has cast Kris Allen, winner of the eighth season of American Idol, in the iconic role of Captain James T. Kirk, according to an article in Variety.
CBS CEO Les Moonves said "the casting of Allen is a real coup for the show. Since we decided to make a new 'Star Trek' television show, we've been trying to figure out how to bring in the crucial 18-25 and female demographics that have always shied away from the show. Maybe we can get him to sing on the show. That would be fantastic."
This news has come as quite a surprise, so late in the production process. Allen, speaking from his home, said "It's a really great honor to play such a cool character. All my friends always tell me I do the absolute best Captain Kirk impression - now I get to show it to the world!"
Because of the demands of his recording and touring schedule, Allen will not be relocating to Toronto, where the primary filming for the show is happening. Instead, he will film his scenes in his home studio and Discovery's effects team will digitally incorporate him into the existing footage.
It is unknown how many episodes Allen will appear in at this time.

whale spotted in illinois river
A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri.
While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
