Shatner criticises Takei over wedding snub

William Shatner has taken his war of words with former 'Star Trek' castmate George Takei into cyberspace, by insisting the newlywed is "sad" and "sick" for not inviting Captain Kirk to his recent same-sex marriage ceremony.

Takei, who blasted Shatner for his vanity on the set of the cult sci-fi series in his memoirs, made a point of not inviting the actor to his nuptials when he exchanged vows with partner Brad Altman at the Democracy Forum of the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles on September 14.
