Chris Pine & Benedict Cumberbatch Take Tokyo's Trekkies By Storm!

12/04/2012 10:30 PM ET | Filed under: Yummy Yummy Screw • Film Flickers • Chris Pine

Considering the six tons of timber poking through our spacesuit while we glance at his pictures, it's fitting that Chris Pine's surname is a species of tree!

The Star Trek hero, his equally dashing antagonist Benedict Cumberbatch, and their perfectly pleasant director J.J. Abrams visited Japan today to screen special footage with a audience of devoted fans whose phasers were set to ~~stun~~ rock-hard!

The film's first teaser poster surfaced yesterday, but, instead of going with Chris or co-star Zachary Quinto, Paramount surprised the entire galaxy by featuring the stud from BBC's Sherlock, Mzr. Cumberbatch!

We can't wait to see them in Star Trek Into Darkness, which beams into theaters early next summer!!

Ch-ch-check out bonus awesomeness of Captain James T. ~~Stickitinus~~ Kirk signing autographs at the Tokyo airport with his lovely lady Dominique Piek (below)!

Re: poorlittlerichiegirl – There is an old saying, my dear: "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."

Miley Cyrus Insists Alcohol Is 'Way More Dangerous' Than Weed! Shares Her New Priorities As An Adult & Artist!

Perhaps Amanda Bynes would have been better off giving Miley Cyrus her bong!

The We Can’t Stop singer interviewed with Rolling Stone magazine for their July 4th issue, and revealed her fairly liberal thoughts on drugs and alcohol.

Given her stoner reputation, we’re not totally surprised. Though, when asked to clarify her penchant for weed, she said:

"You can't ask someone that and expect them to say yes... I did a song with Snoop Dogg called 'Ashtrays and Heartbreaks,' so people can put it together for themselves."

That sounds fairly straightforward to us. Mileybird then went ahead to state that she thinks there are things much, much worse than a little bit of the green stuff:

"I think alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana -- people can be mad at me for saying that, but I don't care... I've seen a lot of people spiral down with alcohol, but I've never seen that happen with weed."

She added:

"As long as it isn't illegal, there are far more dangerous things. And it's legal in the state of California. So I'm happy to live in California, a place where you can be whoever you want to be."

Well, Miley, marijuana isn’t exactly legal in California unless you have a prescription, so we’re not entirely sure what you mean. But, okay...

As for her transition from Disney teen idol to mature pop star, she said:
