Shatner Slighted Over Exclusion from Takei Wedding

Last month, Star Trek actor George Takei — who played Enterprise helmsman Sulu — and his long-time partner Brad Altman were married in California. William Shatner claims he was not invited to the ceremony. And Shatner is apparently miffed about the whole thing.
In a video posted on Shatner's Web site last week, he lashed out at Takei for being excluded from the Takei-Altman nuptials. According to Shatner, his former helmsman harbors a grudge against the former Enterprise captain."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."
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 star 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."Meanwhile, according to the AP, 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 RSVPed."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."
