William Shatner is setting his phaser to stun against his old Star Trek co-star George Takei. In a video posted on Shatner's Web site today, he lashed out at Takei for not inviting him to his wedding last month. The 77-year-old Kirk said Takei, who played Enterprise helmsman Sulu, apparently harbors a grudge.

"The whole thing makes me feel badly," Shatner said in the video. "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." Takei and Brad Alman wed on Sept. 15. At the time, Takei said Shatner was invited but did not RSVP.
