PopoutOfficial websites give celebrities a powerful tool for fighting rumors or promoting new projects, free of the pesky filter of the entertainment media. But it's becoming clear vanity sites can backfire. Beatles drummer Ringo Starr recently pissed off fans by admonishing them, via his website, to stop sending him mail. And now William Shatner has taped a long diatribe against his Star Trek co-star George Takei, who did not invite Shatner to his recent gay wedding. It can't be long before Shatner yanks his YouTube video (left) alleging that Takei has a "sickness" and "psychosis" that keeps him angry at Shatner over who got more camera time forty years ago, particularly now that Takei has told AP that Shatner was, in fact, invited to the wedding. And if Shatner really meant to attack "Takei's decision to come out of the closet later in life," as AP has it, he'll probably be getting left off many more invite lists in the future.
