Snubbed!
Filed under: Old People > Love Line
As we mentioned last month, former Star Trek star George Takei, better remembered as Sulu, will be marrying his longtime boyfriend of 21 years later this September.
And ,although you would assume he'd be inviting all of his former Star Trek co-stars, there's one name who won't make the list, as usual.
William Shatner!
Poor guy, it must suck to be him. He never gets invited anywhere. He wasn't even invited to make a cameo in the new Star Trek film!
Talk about a major snub!
As for not being invited to the wedding, Brad Altman, Takei's partner, tells the AP radio, "We have only 200 seats. Our contact list has, like, 3,500 names, so we have to whittle it down and I don't know if William Shatner is going to make the cut."
Takei and Shatner have had their disagreements in the past. Especially with Takei and other cast members getting annoyed by Shatner's constant pressuring of the directors to have several close-ups of Captain Kirk. Even when the dialogue didn't include him!
Classic!
Takei has said, "One or two times, you know, is fine. But when it happens almost regularly, it gets to be a little irritating."
But despite the past, Takei has stated, "No one could have created the character Capt. Kirk the way he brought his singular metabolism to the character."
Well put.
We're behind Takei, though. You're wedding day is an intimate affair. You should only invite those close to you that mean the most.
Besides, they probably didn't want Shatner harassing the wedding photographers to take only close-up pictures of him!

poor bill…
Yeah sure like Sulu knows 3,500 people ..yah ..rrrright
He is the best and funniest actor.
craaazy
1st?
first
1st
Too bad you will never find a man! Where is your invite Perez? 9th!!!!
IT'S POSSIBLE TO HAVE THAT MANY CONTACTS, BUT YOU BETTER BELIEVE MOST OF THEM ARE JUST CONTACTS, NOT FRIENDS; BUSINESS CONTACTS.
poor old men!!!
I'm I first!!
Not in Star Trek, good idea Mr. Abrams, use him know, b4 he needs a walker, Spock is there, Kirk where are you? Ego clash@ pre-production mtg. his absence will cause some box office $$ reduction, but why would a studio care, heck they have $500 toilet seats like the Air Force….live long & prosper Kirk
awww! he looks so sad! Poor shatty!
Butt he could be the bu!! plugg bearer!
Take…Him…out…back…and….put him out…of our…misery. it's not acting, hes naturally chauvanistic and sexist. he could star on the national geographic channel as the worlds largest pig.
woop! 15th
theres a reason hes known as shats
PATHETIC attempt to Star Jones your wedding Takei.
Leave Capt. Kirk alone you jealous little queen!
His 'singular metabolism'??? I think he just called him a fat ass, in code.
Takei said on howard stern years ago, he has no love for shatner because he believes he caused him not to get certain parts in star trek movies, like being a captain on a ship, this is well documented.
WOOP! 12th!!
200 invited is not what I wold call an intimate wedding.
"You're" wedding day is a special day, indeed.
Funny- why do they actually think Shatner would want to attend? "Mr. Madam and Madame Butterfly" certainly are being a bit narcissistic saying "Our contact list has, like, 3,500 names", that's like, a fantasy. Do tey think, like William Shatner or anyone else is, like on pins and needles waiting for that invite. Like, NO.
perez i read you about 5 times a day, but i need to do this as i have seen it a few times now…
Grammar Lesson Time!
You're = You Are
Your = it belongs to YOU
So when you say something belongs to someone such as a wedding day you say YOUR wedding say not YOU'RE
Get it? Ok good. Now remember it.

Really the guy never did anything after Sulu. At least Shatner has a career. He is funnier than shit playing Denny Crane.
Stop whining Sulu….

But they should be allowed to marry their dog.
He knows 3500 people?
They did him a HUGE FAVOR!
Yeah I BET you're right behind Takei. Bill did it to himself by alienating his co-stars and acting like the golden boy. Can't blame George.
Regarding addiction:
You know Perez - you really have no idea what addiction is all about. You think it is just a lazy moral dilema? So wrong. You are gay right? And overweight? How do you like it when people openly bash those two issues? I believe you are born gay, just like people are born predisposed with the disease of addiction. And overeating? Really little difference than addiction. Why don't you take a stand and actually educate yourself about addiction so maybe you can be a pioneer in supporting people getting the help they need? Not every addict is the trainwreck cliche you think. Most just suffer in silence, die, or try to keep their recovery a little more private. Why don't you look up some of the great minds that have struggled with the disease of addiction. I don't find this funny. Unless you also want to blast people who suffer from the disease of cancer or diabetes as well. Open your mind. Ignorance is poison
Re: Jill – JILL YOU ARE A FUCKING ASSHOLE - DIE BITCH
I love William Shatner. His head is now like a big meatball on top of a pile of mashed potatoes. But no one could have possibly played Captian James T Kirk better. He was, and still is, a brilliant actor. I don't even have to have a wedding to have Shatner over. We'll tip back a bottle of vodka and listened to Led Zeppelin One, and then as soon as Dazed and Confused in ending, we'll start cooking the meatballs and mashed potatoes. How can anyone possibly snub Shatner. He has a free pass to coolness for all enternity, regardless of past behaviors.
MABYE MR. SHATNER TURNED DOWN AN INVITE TO THE NASTY ASS ”SHAM-MARRIAGE” BECAUSE HE KNOWS ITS ALMOST SATANIC IN NATURE…
THE DEVIL MUST BE MAKING ROOM IN HELL FOR ALL THE FILTHY HOMOS IN THE WORLD, BECAUSE THATS WHERE THEYRE GONNA END UP AFTER THEIR LIFE TIME OF BUTT FUCKING,POLE SMOKING,CARPET MUNCHING,ETC,ETC.
I love George Takei. If he does not want to invite that boob he does not have too!
Oh yeah, like Denny Crane gives a sh#t if he is invited to a gross and nasty abomination of a wedding between two dried up old f*gg*ts.
I have an 8 inch Captain Kirk doll I have been putting on top of my Christmas tree for the last 32 years. I got it in 1975. Everyone loves it.
Takei didn't invite you either asshole.
Hey Perez: Are you aware that George is a cast member of "Heroes"? You keep saying "Star Trek" alum as if this was his last gig. He is Hiro's father on "Heroes" and he is a bad ass!
Re: carol – . Um, Carol, George Takei is on one of the most popular television shows on the planet : "HEROES". It's called GOOGLE you fucking idiot.
A friend of mine knows *Shitner* through the horse breeding/showing groups they both belong to. She says he's "the snottiest, most pompous asshole I've ever met". Sounds about right to me!
What a non-story. Nowhere do you indicate that Shatner even wants to attend this wedding. Give us real news, please!!
Oh my.
Perez!!! You are my diva, but you spelled *you're incorrectly in this context! You are so much smarter than that. Shame on you, my darling.
Fags can't get married.
Perez, my diva, my love! You are so intelligent and such an incredible journalist…how did it slip your notice that you used *you're in the wrong context here! SHAME ON YOU. I know it won't happen again because you're a star.
The guy is a nut job. Would you invite him to your wedding?
Star Trek, was like four hundred million years ago. I should know: I used to watch it as a kid. That he's not invited is so completely unimportant.
Perez couldn't have made the You're/Your mistake. He is too goddamn smart for that. And college educated. This is another clue that he's not writing the site anymorelike he used to….it's some mole or internn — or he is is too tired to catch this mistake because of all his personal appearances.
red-faced bloated boozebag
After listening to William Shatner's 911 call, I don't really like him anymore.He tells the operator his wife is in the bottom of the pool and she tells him to get her out. He says "She's in the deep end "…and he almost sounded like he didn't want to get wet.
Then he married someone else a few months later.
Woah woah you cannot diss the Shat.
I LOVE William Shatner.
he,s captain kirk for petes sake!!!get over it perez.

Re: SICKOS – IS THAT ANY WAY TO TALK ABOUT YOUR PARENTS? WHAT AN ASSHOLE!
I Love George Takei. He is talented, elegant, and a class act. Congrats for his upcoming marriage. As for Shatner, he is a total douche — remember Takei rhymes with Toupee Billy Boy!
I love watching William Shatner and James Spader, especially James Spader, in Boston Legal. It's a brilliant show,with a brilliant cast, and the duo of Shatner and Spader really is magical and comical.
LAUGH. I DOUBT VERY MUCH THAT WILLIAM SHATNER IS GOING TO BE HURT THAT HE WAS NOT INVITED TO A GAY (SNICKER) WEDDING.
:)-
Honestly how can a right thinking person NOT love the Shat? he is self-depreciating, funny as hell and seems like a great guy to hang out with. I hope he lives forever.
I Love William Shatner!
The funniest Fresh Prince of Belair was when He stared on it! Really!
Perez, Now I know You are sick and stupid! "William Shatner! Poor guy, it must suck to be him." He is a Legend!
Sir William Shatner Should NOT be seen at a Gay wedding. There shouldn't even be homeosexual marriages!!
Shatner may have been a pain to work with in the past, but he's a pretty funny guy now with his self-deprecating humour.
my dramatic writing professor Stephen Geller from college worked with William Shattner, and apparently the guy is a major prick. None of his costars liked him, and he was always disgustingly and distastefully hitting on women. I guess that's why they snubbed him.
