Get Over It Shatner


William Shatner has an ego problem. Hell he has had one for the past 40 years. Even when he wasn't making a dime, and before Priceline saved his ass, pulled him out of obscurity again and made him wealthier than he thought possible, he still had an ego. In the YouTube clip below, Captain Kirk lays into George Takei for purposefully not inviting him to his recent wedding.

Umm, get over it Bill. Who cares if the guy doesn't like you? Move on. Why is it such a big deal that George Takei thinks you are a bitter ego-driven man who he doesn't want hogging the spotlight at his wedding? Why do you care so much? Did you have a thing for George you have not shared with him before? Did you and George use your tasers as they were not intended?

In this rant, Bill basically just goes off on George and questions his sanity because he didn't invite Shatner to the wedding. Damn man. How many weddings have you been to? Do you really want to go to more? Just find out where they are registered and send them a gift. If you are really wanting some communication from the guy, then send him a car or something. You know you can afford it more than George can and I bet he would even get in touch and say thanks. Then, you could hash all this out or you could choose to hang up on him and be petty. It is up to you. I personally think you just need to take the high road, but that option left you about 40 years ago.

Shatner is my favorite crazy person. Even more than Alec Baldwin or Gary Busey.

Shatner just said he didn't know him beyond working with him so why the hell would he rant about not being invited to his wedding?

BTW didn't Shatner's wife die a mysterious death?

montanamarriott---I think she was found drowned in their pool, but I may be wrong.

Yes, she was found in the pool. Heavy drinker.

He's just mad that Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig were in the wedding party. Chill out TJ Hooker!

Judi said...

He needs to stop drinking and STFU. He's got such alchie bloat, it's disgusting.

Ahhh, wasn't that sweet. Bill Shat himself in public as a wedding present to George. Nice going, Bill!

ARGH. This man...

He is firmly convinced that he is the only reason Star Trek became a hit. Not the writing, not the cheesy special effects, not MISTER SPOCK for God's sake, but him and him alone. He even tried to turn what should have been an ensemble drama featuring one slightly more prominent character into the William Shatner Show: All Kirk, all the time. He partly succeeded, unfortunately for the actors who weren't members of the Big Three.

It especially killed him that Nimoy's character was more popular than his, and was beloved by more of the fans than his. The fact that Nimoy didn't let it get to his head and was (and still is) friendly with the entire cast and crew is just salt in the wound.

Not surprisingly, the only cast member who speaks to him these days outside of work is Nimoy.

Oh I loves me some crazy Shatner. I do. Have you seen his clip on gun control from whatever that show is he does? It's awesome.
