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.

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,

Tina Fey & Alec Baldwin wish death upon each other
- Tina Fey & Alec Baldwin have started openly feuding on the set of 30 Rock. In related news, I just settled a bet with myself to see if I could post the most boring gossip item ever. I win! [Star] - Heidi & Spencer's now admittedly fake courthouse wedding was an elaborate ploy to promote their upcoming real wedding. It's almost like somebody wrote these events down on pieces of paper and provided lines for those involved to say at the appropriate time. I think there's a word for that: Bullshit. [E! Online]

Alec & Tina Feuding?
In front of the 30 Rock cameras, Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey are an award-winning comedy team. But off screen, their frosty relationship has turned into outright contempt, say sources. During a recent photo shoot on the set, the notoriously difficult actor sniped to the photographer, "Get ready to do a lot of airbrushing." Tina, who has a childhood scar on her left cheek, fired back, "Something wrong with my face?" Alec upped the ante by saying it's her entire body that's the problem. "Ti

The Liberal Elite [Stories]
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

REVIEW: SHORTCUT TO HAPPINESS (2007) aka THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER

Tina Fey Needs To Give Alec Baldwin A Beatdown
All is not kosher on the set of 30 Rock, which is probably the funniest show on TV. So if these two wreck it, I'm back to watching Golden Girls reruns on Lifetme. Oh, who am I kidding, I watch them religiously anyways. Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin  got nasty on the set of a photoshoot with each other recently. Did he call her a "rude little pig?"

Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin Hate Each Other
Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey might put on a happy face for the 30 Rock cameras, but the truth is, they hate each other’s guts.

Alec Baldwin on divorce, Palin

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

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.

Alec and Tina are fighting
In possibly a manufactured feud to promote 30 Rock, Star magazine reports on the rising tension between Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey which exploded recently at a photo shoot. Word is that Tina is figuring out she’s not disposable and has been second guessing Alec. During a recent photo shoot on the set, the notoriously difficult actor sniped to the photographer, “Get ready to do a lot of airbrushing.” Tina, who has a childhood scar on her left cheek, fired back, “Something

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.

Excuse me while I fall asleep at my desk! Got up at 5:15 a.m. and had to jam out of the house to get to the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood for the 6 a.m. announcement of the Screen Actors Guild Award nominations.
