I can't go on; I will go on: Baldwin promotes book
(AP)
AP - Alec Baldwin, at a bookstore event he says he didn't want to attend, gave a fired up talk Tuesday night about a book he says he didn't want to write.
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 was “horrified” at himself when he heard his message to Ireland
A lot of people were pretty horrified at the things Alec Baldwin said to his daughter, Ireland, on the now infamous phone message, but no one more than Baldwin himself. The recent Emmy winner said he’s apologized to Ireland and acknowledges his words were wrong, but maintains it never should have been heard around the world without his permission.
At an appearance promoting his new book, A Promise to Ourselves: A Journey Through Fatherhood and Divorce, Baldwin directly addressed the issue and expr
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
Does Alec Baldwin Have His Own Sarah Palin Impression? You Betcha [Not Got To Allow That]
newVideoPlayer("/alechp_def.flv", 506, 423,""); Tina Fey had better watch her back — if she continues with her cutting Sarah Palin impressions on Saturday Night Live, she might find herself fired (or sniped from above thanks to a far-afield Alaskan helicopter). Fortunately, her 30 Rock costar Alec Baldwin will be available to step into the breach: he unveiled his own Sarah Palin impression on Friday's edition of Real Time with Bill Maher. While the vocal mimicry isn't quite up to par with Fey's (or B
Alec Baldwin Stops By Conan Just For Shits and Giggles [Pop-Ins]
newVideoPlayer("/kirstiepalin_def.flv", 506, 423,""); We were so wrapped up in all that Letterman/McCain business, we almost forgot about this nice little surprise from last night’s Conan. Fresh off his best actor Emmy win for 30 Rock, Alec Baldwin stopped by the Late Night set unannounced for a brief round of “In The Year 2000.” It seems like Alec’s been rocking those Buddy Holly glasses even more these days, which is always fun. Plus, he actually gets off a couple of decent jokes. Check in after
DVD Review: The Hunt for Red October (Blu-Ray)
The Hunt for Red October is hands-down the best film in the Jack Ryan series for a number of reasons, but first and foremost is the lack of a major villain. Instead the conflict is provided by the cryptic world of international politics and tense foreign relations that are all too real. Obviously there are villainous characters, but their roles are minor and are often interjected to give the plot a single push when needed.
A young Alec Baldwin plays a Jack Ryan who believes in others more than he believes
FOX411: Alec Baldwin 'Alienated' From Daughter
How did Alec Baldwin find out his wife, Kim Basinger, was pregnant? According to this passage from his just-released book, "A Promise to Ourselves: A Journey Through Fatherhood and Divorce," it wasn’t in the usual way.
"We were standing in her bathroom in her house in Los Angeles: Kim, myself and Kim’s then assistant. Kim said she had something to tell me. She seemed lost in thought, bordering on grim. Her assistant had a slightly woeful smile on her face. Kim said she was pregnant

Alec Baldwin's "Secret" Appearance On Conan Last Night
Alec Baldwin made an unannounced visit to Conan last night to do a no-holds-barred edition of "In The Year 2000." He even got in a Bristol Palin joke. It's good to know that Alec will drop everything to be there for us in our time of national yuck:
Carrot Top was also there! Alec was promoting the second season of 30 Rock on DVD, out October 7th, and now, apparently, so am I.

Oh Oui, There Will Be The French Word For Blood
It's funny, when I think about the Saw franchise I think about how it's the worst franchise, but I don't think about how it's the worst INTERNATIONALLY. The French poster for Saw V hit the internet today. It's basically a Saw poster but in French, which makes sense, and yet as unsurprising as that is, it still makes me laugh. "Bonjour, je m'appelle Jigsaw. Would vous like to play un game?" Ooooh, je suis so scared! How do you say LOL in French? L'OL, probably.
Oh, there was a slight typo on the poster, t

Introducing the Videogum Alec Baldwin Promise: like the Tracy Morgan Promise and the Louis C.K. Promise, we promise to bring you all the Alec Baldwin news that's fit to print, because we love him and he's a National Treasure. Just now, Mr. Baldwin was on The View, and dangit if he didn't kind of behave himself and stick to the important issue of parental alienation on which his new book is based. But a little bit of the crazy slipped out when Alec gave the ladies his example of what it's like to be a normal

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:

In the Battle of the British Funnymen, Simon Pegg Calls Ricky Gervais a 'Fat Idiot' [Pick Your Side]
In the annals of celebrity feuds, we tend to prefer the light-hearted frivolity of a Seth Green/Shia LeBeouf dustup to the knock-down, "no one gets away unscathed" fights like Alec Baldwin on Greg Garcia. That's why we're so stymied by the latest and most unlikely entry in the feud genre: the war of words between Shaun of the Dead star Simon Pegg and Ricky Gervais, the Emmy-honored creator of Extras and The Office. So far, the battle (instigated by Pegg's mouthy appearance on a British radio show) is one-si
Why Tina Fey's Self-Deprecation Is Good For Women [Lemony Goodness]
Fellow Tina Fey-natic blogger Kate Harding has a quibble with the Emmy-winning 30 Rock star. It bugs her that Tina Fey makes fun of her own looks in her comedy. "Even if she thinks of herself as a geeky underdog," Harding writes, "these days, the woman is fucking conventionally gorgeous. Whenever there’s a crack about her looks on 30 Rock, I’m torn between being sad that she apparently doesn’t see that in herself and being pissed off that she’s reinforcing the idea that having brown hair, glasses, a

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.
The two-disc set is full of plenty of audio commentaries, deleted scenes, and, perhaps best of all, a recording of 30 Rock Live, the staged reading of one of the episodes the cast perform
