STAR TREK REPLICAS UP FOR AUCTION

Star Trek lovers looking for Enterprise chairs, Starfleet uniforms or a model Klingon Bird of Prey can seek out the dismantled pieces of a closed Las Vegas attraction based on the famous franchise.

Auctioneer Propworx Inc. plans to sell roughly 1,000 items large and small from Star Trek: The Experience at a warehouse sale today in Las Vegas, CEO Alec Peters said.

The attraction, based on the television series and movies, closed in 2008 after a 10-year run.

Among the items for sale are three large models of spaceships in need of repair or restoration — the USS Enterprise A, the USS Voyager and the Bird of Prey — as well as a replica of the Enterprise bridge from "Star Trek: The Next Generation."

SEIJI OZAWA CANCELS FALL APPEARANCES

The Vienna Philharmonic says Japanese conductor Seiji Ozawa has canceled his fall engagements with the renowned orchestra in October and November to recover from cancer.

Ozawa, an icon in the classical music world, announced in January that he has esophageal cancer and called off all his concerts between January and June to receive treatment.

CELEBS DONATE TO MISSISSIPPI GAY PROM

Green Day, former 'N Sync member Lance Bass and celebrity chef Cat Cora are among those helping pay for a gay-friendly prom in Mississippi next month.

Organizers say the event is open to everyone but geared toward gay students.

The American Humanist Association also will contribute $20,000 to the May 8 event in Tupelo.

The annual prom is organized by the Mississippi Safe Schools Coalition. This year's event has drawn attention because of Constance McMillen, a high school senior who challenged her school district's ban on same-sex dates at proms.
