George Takei has been fighting skin cancer.

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.

Serenaded by a gay men’s chorus, showered with rose petals and toasted with champagne, hundreds of tearful same-sex couples were married across California in what some are calling the state’s new Summer of Love.

'Star Trek' actor George Takei said he will marry his long-term partner and business manager now that the California Supreme Court has legalised same-sex marriage.
