William Shatner has called out another celebrity on his official web-site. Last time it was J.J. Abrams for not including a cameo for Shatner in the upcoming “Star Trek” movie. Now it’s fellow “Trek” alum George Takai for not inviting Shatner to his wedding. Takai married his long-time partner Brad Alman last month.
In the latest video on WilliamShatner.com, Shatner said, “”The whole thing makes me feel badly. 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.”
In a statement, Takai said Shatner was invited but didn’t attend his wedding last month.
“It is unfortunate that Bill was unable to join us for our wedding as he indeed was invited to attend,” Takei said. “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.”
