It seems like every year that Alec Baldwin is leaving 30 Rock, and this year is no different.
Yesterday it was a reported that a woman was arrested for stalking the multi-Emmy winner and today he is claiming in that the press is doing the same as she did to him. He Tweeted, “Outside my apt today, along side the other stalkers from the tabloid press, a crew that identified themselves as being with the Today Show.” Then Words with Friends most popular player added, “I haven’t appeared on the Today Show in many years. But did they have to camp outside my apt?” He wasn’t done there because he added, “A story about stalking sure brings out the stalkers in the media. But, the Today Show?” Not only was he angry that what is supposed to be a reputable news outlet was camped outside his place, but he also was mad because as he said, “No one from NBC contacted me until the Today Show arrived at my apt.” He is so mad at the network his show is on that his last Tweet thus far read, “I think I’m leaving NBC just in time.”
So does that mean he thinks he is leaving the show? Or does that mean he is out before NBC completely loses whatever cred they have left? Time will tell, but I have a feeling he will still be on the show when it comes back on the air next season.
If he leaves, he will be yet another big star leaving NBC when the season ends. James Spader was one season and out on The Office and it looks like since Chevy Chase has been doing a Charlie Sheen that Community’s oldest cast member will graduate off the show. Will you miss Jack Donaghy if he leaves Liz Lemon and 30 Rock?
As we all know Alec Baldwin was kicked off of an American Airlines flight for refusing to stop playing Words with Friends when the stewardess told him to. Ever since the incident the 30 Rock star has been quiet about what happened, but yesterday he broke his silence on Saturday Night Live. Well technically he did because instead of going on as himself, he went as the Captain Steve Rogers on Weekend Update and apologized to himself for what happened. I wonder if after that he is not only on American Airlines “Do Not Fly” list, but everyone elses too?
Alec Baldwin was kicked off of an American Airlines flight today from LA for playing Words with Friends on his iPad. Shortly after he got the boot he Tweeted what happened by saying, “Flight attendant on American reamed me out 4 playing WORDS W FRIENDS while we sat at the gate, not moving. #nowonderamericaairisbankrupt”. He didn’t stop there he then went on a rant by saying, “But, oddly, 30 Rock plays inflight on American. #theresalwaysunited” and “Now on the 3 o’clock American flight. The flight attendants already look…..smarter.#theresalwaysunited Last flight w American. Where retired Catholic school gym teachers from the 1950’s find jobs as flight attendants.” Why are the older flight attendants more stringent than the younger ones? I noticed that on the flights I have taken.
Now back to the 30 Rock star, what was the word he was playing when he got reamed a new one? He said, “Now, as I was kicked off this flight, the word I was playing was UNITED” Personally I think he should try JetBlue next time because they are a much more lax airline with nicer stewards and stewardesses!
Now we know his side, what is the other side? According to The NY Daily News, a source says he was ejected after not turning off his iPad and then getting up insisting for the name of the stewardess. They added that the confrontation was loud enough to get the captain out of the cockpit and it was actually the big guy on the plane that called for him to be taken off the plane.
Since Alec took his case to Twitter, so did American Airlines that Tweeted this to him, “@AlecBaldwin Mr. Baldwin, we are looking into this. Please DM us contact information.” No word he DMed them, but it could be because he is on a AA flight to NY as I type this.
BTW anyone else think that Kevin Smith and him should do a movie about a horrible trip and trying to get home after getting booted off of a plane? I would pay to see it.
Holland Taylor took to Twitter to ask Alec Baldwin, “Of the older women with whom you have (perhaps) had liaisons, how old was the eldest? If there was such a one, was it good?” So I am wondering if the 68 old year old actress is trying to hit on the 53 year old actor who is dating a 27 year old yoga instructor or she is trying to figure out why he would bend over backwards to date a woman half his age?
Either that or the man who played her son (Charlie Sheen) on Two and a Half Men for all those years was a bad influence on the talented actress that won over our hearts on Bosom Buddies. What do you think her reasoning is behind that Tweet?
BTW you can see her mourn her TV son in two weeks when 2.5 2.0 returns to CBS at 9p.
Adam Shankman is directing the big screen version of Rock of Ages in Miami and he Tweeted a picture of two of his stars in costume for it. Russel Brand looks the same, but with extensions. Now when it comes to Alec Baldwin, he looks more like Billy Ray Cyrus than himself. Seriously can’t you picture him belting out Achy Breaky Heart looking like that? Actually not only that, I think he looks king of hot in that wig!
