Alec Baldwin.

Personally, I think he’s great on 30 Rock.  In real life, he seems to be kind of..messed up with a flair for the dramatic.  Big time.

After putting on a spectacularly venomous divorce with Kim Bassinger in the media that makes Jon and Kate Gosselin seem normal by comparison (think about that for a while),  Baldwin made news about three years ago when he told their  then 11 year old daughter Ireleand a “rude, thoughtless little pig” over the phone, an audio recording of which was then leaked.

Anybody with a kid older than 11 or remembers being a kid themselves probably thought, “yeah, there were moments” and went on with their day, while child welfare activits all reacted with outrage! and concern.

Baldwin was taken to the hospital early Thursday at 12:55am, apparently after telling Ireland that he was thinking of taking a punch of pills and “ending it“.  Nice thing to say to your 14 year old kid.  She apparently called the paramedics, and Baldwin was rushed to the hospital, only to be released an hour later saying through his spokesminion the whole thing was over a “miscommunication“.

When Baldwin got back to his place on Central Park West from work later that day, a media circus awaited him.  Losing his temper, Baldwin grabbed a photographer who happened to touch him.

No charges have been laid, although if the guy works for one of the tabloids or TMZ I’m sure a lawsuit will have been launched by the time you finish reading this post if it hasn’t already.

Baldwin told police his daughter had been “put up” to call 911 by his ex-wife, while a “source” (Alec with a voice changer) told the NY Daily News that this is just “another example of Kim’s sickness“, saying she’s probably the one who tipped off the media. These two need to stop trying to drag their kid and the rest of the world into their decades old hate-on they have for each other. 

No word if yet if this will impact Baldwin’s co-hosting gig for the Oscars next month.
