Shatner, Locklear, 'Twilight' Trio Lutz, Rathbone, Facinelli Give Fan Expo New Orleans Lineup Jolt

NEW ORLEANS - EntSun -- There is only one William Shatner, and FAN EXPO New Orleans fans will have the opportunity to meet the all-time pop culture legend as well as his fellow "T.J. Hooker" star and Hollywood icon Heather Locklear as the duo, plus Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone and Peter Facinelli, three memorable standouts from the 2008 film Twilight and sequels, are the latest additions to a star-studded lineup. The 30-day countdown is on for the pop culture extravaganza, set for January 10-12 at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.

One of Hollywood's most recognizable figures for more than a half-century, Shatner, 93, has thrilled millions in his varied career. From his international breakout role of "Captain Kirk" in the original "Star Trek" series—and its numerous incarnations—to famed "T.J. Hooker" in the 1980's up to the "Priceline" pitchman and space traveler of today, Shatner won Emmys and his first Golden Globe for his portrayal of eccentric lawyer "Denny Crane" on both "The Practice" and "Boston Legal." He has received four more Emmy nominations as well as other Golden Globe and SAG Award nods.
