William Shatner Keeps George Takei Feud Alive

NEW YORK — William Shatner is continuing to feud with former "Star Trek" co-star George Takei.

In his latest online video, Shatner says: "George has been mean to me for a long time _ I mean, decades and decades."

Shatner complained in a previous video that he wasn't invited to Takei's September wedding to Brad Altman. Takei and Altman have said Shatner was invited; Shatner says he didn't receive the invitation.

Says Shatner: "I would not expect him to invite me to a place where he wanted to be surrounded by love and he'd see my little red face poking out there, and look at me and feel whatever enmity he feels for whatever reason I do not know."

He then invites Takei to appear on his Biography Channel talk show, "Shatner's Raw Nerve."

How appropriate to the Shatner / Takei hissy fit -- my comment might be #69.

Good God Man, "Has Been" was one of the greatest albums of the oughts! No one is meaner than Shatner to Shatner. Buy the album - it's great, lots of guest musicians, produced by Ben Folds. Seriously! Shatner was the Neil Young of Star Trek, George is the Graham Nash. (Spock is obviously Stills, Bones is obviously Stills).

YES! That album is truly great. Very emotional experience. One of my favorites. I really hope he and Ben Folds make another one someday.

Shatner has a message for all you detractors. You can find it on his album from a few years ago, it's called "Has Been."

As a cameraman, I shot a 'Family and Friends' MCI phone commercial staring the entire original cast of Star Trek minus William Shatner. From the info I heard, Shatner was a bit of a dick to all the cast and he made sure that he was the star of the show above all else. I've worked with Shatner directly years ago and I can attest, he is a dick. He's pompous and ego driven and will always make you feel like an underling. That said - Shatner will always be an angry man deep inside until he looks inward at his own inferiority complex.....

Shatner continues his "mad cow" act into reality, I, and will encourage others, to stop watching Boston Legal. It will be tough, but Shatner is going off the deep end mimicking "Denny Crane"..

How reasonable would I be if I stopped watching the best show on TV over this bull?

As my screen name should make clear, I'm a big fan of Boston Legal and Shatner's character. However, I have never cared for the man. When he was cast in the show, I remember thinking that as bad an actor as he is, it was perfect casting. But now he really is turning into his character and displaying mad cow disease.

Good heavens Bill!! Doesn't it embarrass you to whine like that in public? "He's been mean to me"?? I think you need a time-out, little man...

Its the mad cow.

I love Shatner, think he's a genius. I'll ignore this feud- it shouldn't be public and doesn't much interest me. I do know that both of these men participated in some of the most enjoyable movies and TV shows I've ever seen, but their personal lives are irrelevant. I think Shatner's a bit obsessive, while Takei is probably a bit.. b#*chy.

I think Shatner has cleared up the question as to why his former Star Trek cast members apparently can't stand to be around him. The man is a total tool.

Shatner's no longer a legitimate actor. He's a horrific self-parody who lost all relevancy long ago, Boston Legal or no Boston Legal.

At least you can say George Takei has his integrity and his authenticity going for him.

An authentic actor - now, there's a novel concept...

There's a reason the producers/director/everyone involved in the next Star Trek movie turned him down when he asked to be in it.
