Fans, both famous and otherwise, have been using the gesture to pay tribute to Nimoy.

In a fitting extraterrestrial tribute to the late star, NASA Astronaut Terry Virts has tweeted a picture of the Vulcan gesture from the International Space Station, looking down at Nimoy’s birthplace of Boston.

It’s enough to make even Spock a little bit emotional.

President Obama would be to be on his most useful behavior at the  70th anniversary for the D-Day landings in Normandy these days. He very nearly passed muster, but was that a huge wad of gum in his lips through the solemn ceremony? Twitter seemed to think so.

Charlie Harper returns to ‘Two and a Half Men’

http://twitter.com/#!/ekessdotcom/status/182176312931254272

Charlie Sheen’s character, Charlie Harper, on the hit show “Two and a Half Men” will be reappearing soon! Only this time, the role will be filled by Kathy Bates.

From Access Hollywood:

It’s getting spooky (and surprising!) on “Two And A Half Men,” as the character of Charlie Harper – formerly played by Charlie Sheen – returns.

The most surprising part of the character’s return is that Kathy Bates will be playing him!

CBS announced that the character – who was killed off on the season premiere – returns after Alan Harper (Jon Cyrer) suffers a minor heart attack and is visited by Harper’s ghost in the hospital.

Bates, who is obviously female and almost 20 years older than Sheen – who is currently working on his own new show, “Anger Management” — will appear on the April 30 episode of the CBS comedy.

Montel Williams, who a month ago during testimony before a House committee blasted the Obama administration’s failure to secure the release of Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi and urged the president to “make the call” on Sgt. Tahmooressi’s behalf, welcomed home the U.S. Marine who had been held in Mexico since March 31:

A federal district judge in Mexico ordered the release of Sgt. Tahmooressi yesterday, and Williams was there when he was released:

Williams, a 22-year military veteran and a vocal advocate for the release of Tahmooressi, was thanked for his efforts:
