William Shatner
is setting his phaser to stun against his old Star
Trek costar George Takei. In a video posted on
Shatner's website Wednesday, he lashed out at Takei for not
inviting him to his wedding last month.
The 77-year-old
Kirk said Takei, who played Enterprise helmsman Sulu,
apparently harbors a grudge against him that kept him from
being invited to Takei's nuptials.
"The whole thing
makes me feel badly," Shatner said in the video. "Poor
man. There is such a sickness there. It's so patently
obvious that there is a psychosis there. I don't know
what his original thing about me was. I have no idea."
Takei and Brad
Alman tied the knot September 15. Star Trek alums
Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig -- who played
Uhura and Chekhov, respectively -- were among the
attendees at the multicultural ceremony at the Japanese
American National Museum. Takei and Altman had
previously stated that Shatner was invited to their
wedding but he never RSVP'ed.
"It is
unfortunate that Bill was unable to join us for our wedding
as he indeed was invited to attend," Takei responded.
"It is our hope that at this point he joins us in
voting no on Proposition 8, which seeks to eliminate
the fundamental right for same-sex couples to marry in
California."
Shatner said he
felt he never knew Takei when they worked together on the
original TV series and later in the Star Trek
films.
The Boston
Legal costar also attacked Takei's decision to
come out of the closet later in life, saying, "Who cares?
Be gay. Don't be gay. That's up to you, George." (AP)
