(To Shatner, about his acting skills)

"Bill, if my partner sucked half as hard as you do, I'd never leave my chateau!"

18. Seems that the captain is the only surviving cast member NOT invited to the wedding
Chekov is going to be his best man, and Uhura and Spock will both be there.

Could it be that Captain Kirk, who never backed down from a Klingon or a Romulan, could be scared of two guys getting married?

Maybe the Denny Crane persona really isn't acting, all that much?

12. they might, if they think Risa is too tacky

this news really made me smile! I love the old TOS cast, and I'm so happy that Takei now feels the comfort that he couldn't all those years he spent closeted with the law against him. :D

13. Damn it!
I know he's too old for me... but there's just something about that voice of his.

Finally, a male Star Trek cast member who doesn't have to worry Shatner might try to move-in on their spouse.

15. Great!
It's hard for me to hear about Takei anymore without thinking of him on The Howard Stern Show a couple of months ago talking about how he masturbates even though Brad discourages it.

"Oh, my!" :D

16. He was just on Stephanie Miller's show talking about the wedding plans
He's always such a fun guest with his deep voice and wry wit.

17. He is a class act.
Plus he really makes the Stern show-- don;t even listen to it when he's not on it.
