Defiant Sulu Blasts Back at William Shatner’s ‘Big, Shining, Demanding Ego’
8:25AM STV | It was only a matter of time before the alleged psychotic gay bridezilla that is George Takei fired back at his one-time TV captain William Shatner, whose claims that Takei invited every living Star Trek alumnus but him to his wedding met stiff, Suluian resistance in an interview airing this evening on Entertainment Tonight. After the jump, hear all the honours, weddings, funerals and other events Shatner has shined on in apparently forsaking his chums from the Final Frontier. “We keep reaching out and reaching out,” Takei says, “but he takes that and twists it and crumples it and turns it into something that’s rather… ugly.” Damn it, Jim! So can the relationship ever be mended? Yes, nods Takei, laying down terms we hope find the actors setting aside their differences at last — for the gays’ sake, if not Shatner’s own. (Be warned, their video is set to autoplay. It’s psychotic, too!) More »
William Shatner On Takei Wedding Snub: ‘He’s A Psychotic, Gay Bridezilla’
8:05AM Seth | Nothing on the fall TV schedule has captured our imaginations more than a tiny, as-yet-untitled program to recently premiere on YouTube, which we informally refer to around Defamer HQ as The William Shatner Has Seriously Lost His Fucking Mind Show. Accompanied by dutiful daughter Liz—the product, it’s widely rumoured, of a one-beam-stand with a hot little green number from Orion—Shatner has moved on from obsessing over his snubbing from the new Star Trek movie, and now has an entirely new rebuff to fixate on: his exclusion from the George Takei-Brad Altman nuptials.

Clint Black, Living Proof That Dying Is Easier Than Comedy
7:30AM Mark Graham | If you were to conduct a poll of the 276 million people living in these here United States asking what they’d REALLY like to know about their favourite celebrities, we’re pretty sure you’d be hard pressed to find even one person who’s wondering whether or not country music star Clint Black is any good at stand-up comedy. Still, that didn’t stop CBS from devoting close to 6 minutes of airtime last night to answering that very question as part of their brand new show, Secret Talents Of The Stars. Sandwiched between segments of other equally perplexing talents of Z-listers (Can George Takei sing country music? Can Mya dance? Does a bear shit in the woods?), Clint Black spent some time prepping his stand-up routine with old friend Garry Shandling at the preeminent comedy hotspot for people born in the 1950s, The Comedy Store. Unfortunately for all of us, when a clearly concerned Shandling asked the yukless Black if “he had any OTHER secret talents” besides comedy, Black’s answer was no. Shandling’s advice and Black’s so-bad-it’s-bad performance follow after the jump. More »
