LOS ANGELES (AP) -- William
Shatner is setting his phaser to stun against his old ''Star
Trek'' co-star George Takei.
In a video posted on Shatner's Web site Wednesday, he lashed out at Takei for
not inviting him to his wedding last month. The 77-year-old Shatner 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 Altman tied the knot Sept. 14. ''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, who played
Capt. James T. Kirk, 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.''
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'' co-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.''
