William Shatner is being sued for $170 million by a Florida-based radio host who claims that the "Star Trek" actor is his father.

Peter Sloan, who now goes by the name Peter Shatner, says the actor had an affair with his birth mother, Katherine Burt (later Kathy McNeil), in 1956.

Shatner denies that Sloan is his son.

Sloan, 59, was given up for adoption shortly after his birth. In 1984, he started seeking his birth parents and identified the people he believed to be his mother and father.

Shatner's a pompous buffoon, but when this kinda shit hits the fan:

Sloan is seeking $30 million in compensatory damages, $90 million in punitive damages and $50 million for pain and suffering. He is also demanding a jury trial.

...yeah, he's being set up by someone who can't hit the lottery.

If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.
