I think this would make three times in the past two weeks that Alec Baldwin has got nasty with reporters or photographers following him. Can you imagine if he lived in LA and had the legions of paps following him? He would spend most of his time yelling or hitting or in jail. Yesterday, which is just one day after his wedding, Alec was out walking with his new wife, his daughter and her friend and a reporter asked how things were going. That's it. Alec started getting mean and told the reporter to walk away or else. Showing that karma will find its way anywhere, Alec got into a cab and slammed his head onto the roof. Nice. I say Hilaria puts up with him just long enough to satisfy whatever triggers there are in their pre-nup and when they do split she needs to be prepared to be called the meanest nastiest names for years and years. Maybe longer.
Just a thought...this one may have been an innocent, simple question but how many annoyances did he receive prior to that one? Not defending his rude behavior, but I think his boiling point is a lot lower than most. I know that when I'm home and a get a few pointless phone calls in a row (bank selling services, cable selling services, or such) by the time I get to the 4th or 5th call I feel like answering "what??!!"
ReplyDeleteIs he an alcoholic, or just a sociopath/narcissist? He is one scary fella.
ReplyDeleteI think he's an easy target because the paps know he angers easily. So they bait him.
ReplyDeleteHe's made it perfectly clear that he can't stand them, so at this point, maybe they should just leave him alone.
The Baldwin clan is a joke.
ReplyDeleteHe's such a douchebag! He needs to work on his anger, it shouldn't be an excuse to treat people poorly and frankly for the millions he's being paid he can afford therapy.
ReplyDeleteSoooooo, sounds like a regular day in the life of AB. Carry on.....
ReplyDeleteI don't know about this. he has a right to be on the street w/o being questioned or harassed. I think that he does clearly have anger problems, but being an actor shouldn't mean having to be stalked by the paps.
ReplyDeleteunlike certain others, he is a true actor and not a fame whore. just because he walks in public doesn't give anyone the right to invade his space. of course, when he gets angry it just exacerbates everything and I'm sure goads them.
Ok, maybe he's a jerk. But let's get more superficial here. Who liked him better before the extreme hair dye? Me, for one.
ReplyDeleteI know the weight loss is great for his health, although I'm a bit of a chubby chaser, so I'll let that go. But his hair looks too much like a midlife crisis for my taste.
they shld leave him alone but...... he has been famous a long time. Isnt there a beter way to handle it? you never heard Jackie cursing at any photog! what crawled up his ass anyway?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to amend my statement - the hair, sunglasses, and tee shirt look too much like a midlife crisis.
ReplyDeleteI'm with @surfer - the paps love to torment him. He freaks out every time. If I were a pap, I would strive to annoy him too. Easy targets are fun sometimes. Celebrities are usually chill on the streets of NYC, so Alec is a refreshing change.
ReplyDeleteThat temper...

ReplyDelete@frufra, OMG - the hair!!!! Had not noticed that til now, Michael Douglas and Harrison Ford just did the same thing, they all looked better before!
ReplyDeleteI know AB is an arrogant jacka$$, and I know he promised to leave the country when GWB took office, but he is funny. I wonder though, did he go off his meds or something?!? His anger issues have been getting worse all year - this wedding has been the tipping point. Will he really go off the deep end or get himself under control?!?
I say take a honeymoon now, go relax w/your new bride/yoga instructor wife. If SHE can't calm him down...
Alec Baldwin = Chris Brown. I don't understand why people make excuses for AB
ReplyDelete@Seachica - Probably because he didn't beat the crap out of a chick.
ReplyDeleteIf people were following me around all of the time and poking at me with verbal sticks, I would probably blow a gasket just like Big Al.
@popcorn -- he called his own daughter a "rude pig". Verbal abuse is no less acceptable than physical abuse. Clearly AB has a temper that is out of control. And that is just what we publicly know of. Btw, his daughter was 11 when he left that message for her. What a great guy -- not.
ReplyDelete@seachica - I never said he was a great guy. I also agree that verbal abuse is still abuse, I just think you were comparing apples to oranges. Bashing your girlfriend's face in is different than calling your daughter a rude pig. Neither is excusable, but they are different.
ReplyDeleteI will say though that I have said some nasty things that I didn't mean to people I care about, but I have never caved their faces in. That is why I give AB a pass or more leeway.
DeleteI have known Alex since college, and I have not seen the side of him that is so luridly displayed in the press. For over 30 years, he has treated me and everyone we know with kindness and dignity at all times. I think that you might get pissed off at paps too if they sought to intrude into every single facet of your private life. I think that the paps and the press ought to leave the man alone. He doesn't court the press or the paps.
ReplyDeleteWhoever his plastic surgeon is should get a tip, his face looks phenomenal for what appears to be a facelift, he looks like it's the early nineties again, that guy or gal is a miracle worker!
ReplyDelete"I have known Alex since college..."
ReplyDeleteSo why don't you know that his name is Alec?
Baldwin has an Irish temper, exacerbated by a difficult divorce and some years of career woes. That doesn't excuse his conduct, but offers some context. Other than the voicemail to his daughter, he hasn't done much except be a diva now and then. The stuff with the papps now isn't his fault. He should just get out of town for a while and let the ire die down. Like I said before, who spends the summer in New York if they have options? It's a frickin' sauna!
His name IS alex-as in alexander. Classmates knew him as alex.
