They're at number 1, with The Magic Whip

It's not that easy
To get to the top

(woo-hoo) may not be heavy metal
(woo-hoo) but they made it to the top
(woo-hoo) Blur are back after 12 years
All of this time, we've been wondering what they were up to
What they were up to

But enough about that because Pam Dawber starring on an episode of The Crazy Ones last year was a much bigger deal as far as comebacks go, and also because another Star Trek actor has boldly gone where others like Spock and Scotty have gone before: her grave. Grace Lee Whitney, who played Captain Kirk's assistant on the original "Star Trek" series, has died at the age of 85. Whitney died of natural causes on Friday in her home in the Central California town of Coarsegold, about 50 miles north of Fresno. Whitney played Yeoman Janice Rand in the first eight episodes before being written out of the series. In her 1998 autobiography "The Longest Trek: My Tour of the Galaxy," she wrote that her acting career largely came to an end and she became an alcoholic. She wrote that she struggled with her addiction for many years before getting treatment and regaining her career with the help of Leonard Nimoy, who starred as Spock in the series and who also died earlier this year. She returned for the movies, reprising her role in "Star Trek: The Motion Picture," "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock," "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home", and "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country." RIP Yeoman Rand.
