Alec Baldwin book A Promise To Ourselves is a desperately sad memoir
"His book is a treatise on how the family law system in America is broken, and why it should be changed. It is a serious book, masquerading as a manifesto but eventually turning into a desperately sad memoir about the failure of Baldwin’s marriage and his estrangement from his only child.

Alec Baldwin’s Galaga Addiction Cost Him More Than Just Quarters
Now that 30 Rock has afforded us the pleasure of catching up with Alec Baldwin on a near-weekly basis, the mental image that we conjure up when people mention the name "Alec Baldwin" is that of his current self. Meaning, because of the way active television-watchers develop a sense of familiarity with recurring characters, the name "Alec Baldwin" is now primarily associated in our minds with the well-distinguished (if slightly bloated) 50-year-old television star, not the wiry, jet-black-haired lothario typ

Alec Baldwin's New Job: Voice Of The New York Philharmonic
NEW YORK — The New York Philharmonic will perform for the first time in Hanoi and Abu Dhabi next season and is getting Alec Baldwin to host its weekly national radio broadcasts.Alan Gilbert, in his debut season as music director of the nation's oldest orchestra, will lead the musicians in the three-week tour in October, the Philharmonic announced Monday.The orchestra, which made a historic trip to communist North Korea last winter, has performed in 59 countries but never in Vietnam or in Abu Dhabi, an

A Little More on Pigs... [Politics]
"The New York Times has an article about me calling columnist Heather Mallick a pig," blogs Greta van Susteren via Foxnews.com. "Yes, I called a columnist—in a calm, cool voice—a pig for saying that the nominee for Vice President looks like a porn star." Well, Greta: you can be "happier than a pig in shit" or you can be a "thoughtless little pig," like Alec Baldwin called his daughter via voicemail. You can even be a capitalist pig. We've discussed the lexicon of contemporary vulgarities before,

Alec Baldwin, Amateur Legal Scholar
In this super exciting article published October 2nd in the Harvard Law Record (or at least the online version), Alec Baldwin makes the transition from the most likable but still somewhat douchey person on earth to his new profession, Amateur Legal Scholar. It's pretty long and potentially not as super exciting as I claimed in the first sentence, but here are the best parts, with an interruption from me, writing in italics: Alec Baldwin takes on family law Actor speaks about his own custody battles, advo

Economic Forecast: Mostly Cloudy, With a Chance of Alec Baldwin [Leaping Lizards]
For all its success on paper, Saturday Night Live is essentially making its pop-culture bones these days with an ex-cast member imitating a woman who might be completely irrelevant in six weeks. But some phenomena never expire, and when you combine the enduring miracle of Alec Baldwin with the current, overriding stench of economic recession, one SNL highlight alone stands out today for its chemistry and prescience: Reliable Investments, featuring Baldwin as a broker with all the answers for Ana Gasteyer. B

Alec Baldwin, Stop Talking
We've been over this Alec Baldwin. You think your story about a father's rights in the California court system need to be told, and hell, maybe it does. That's why you wrote a book about it right? But every time you give an interview to a reporter about your ex, Kim Basinger, and the bitter custody battles you've gone through for your daughter, you somehow let your larger-than-life personality and grandiose sentiments get the better of you, and end up sounding like a pretentious jackass

DVD Review: Fey Shines on '30 Rock' Season 2
This year 30 Rock became the first comedy to win consecutive Emmys for Outstanding Comedy Series in 10 years. The second season, which also won Emmys for stars Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, will be released on DVD tomorrow with all 15 episodes and plenty of bonus features to make the listed price of $37.99 more than fair.

NPH Kills on SNL, Continues To Be MamaPop's OGB
That's Official Gay Boyfriend, to the uninitiated. So, yeah. Saturday Night Live is pretty hit or miss these days, but when I heard that NPH was going to host, I was overcome with glee. Someone with real acting chops, real comedic timing (No offense, Michael Phelps, bless your heart, you tried) and hopefully, good writing to keep the ball moving. The Not Ready for Primetime Players and our beloved OGB did not disappoint. Rundown of the sketches and video after the jump!Cold Open: "The Rachel Maddow Show." T

Scene: a $1,000-a-head Obama fundraiser last night in a tony East Village townhouse. "We have to sacrifice," Alec Baldwin told the crowd. Moments later his podium came crashing down to the floor, but he recovered smoothly with a joke. Danity Kane's Aubrey O'Day, her long blond locks wrapped in a headband, stood in the corner stroking her little dog, which was dyed pink. At the conclusion of the speeches, Alan Cumming encouraged the crowd to talk freely. "There are no Republicans here tonight," he noted. The

OMG, I can't read this. Translate into pictograms, plz.
First, gotta say how much I’m lovin’ these cranky-ass comments everybody’s leaving. You all make sinister voice-mailing Alec Baldwin seem like some sort of friggin’ pansy, by comparison. Particularly intrigued by all the Queen Latifah remarks that claim I’m the one who’s ultimately being antigay by writing Blind Vices about closeted celebs, making it seem like their actions are sinister and bad, therefore I’m the one promoting self-hating activities by gay people, and therefore I’m part of t

EVENT: Alec Baldwin will take his voice over to Lincoln Center tonight for his NY Philharmonic debut! He'll be taking on narrator duties (something he did very well in the Royal Tenenbaums) for Inside the Music.
