So, yeah. This just happened. NY Daily News reports:

Alec Baldwin was booted from an American Airlines flight Tuesday after some turbulence with a flight attendant. “Flight attendant on American reamed me out 4 playing WORDS W FRIENDS while we sat at the gate, not moving,” the actor said in a Twitter message after the incident. The “30 Rock” star added a hashtag saying it was “no wonder” the airline recently declared bankruptcy. “But, oddly, 30 Rock plays in-flight on American,” he said in a later tweet, this time promoting competing airline United with the hashtag “#theresalwaysunited.” The cabin confrontation started when a flight staffer scolded Baldwin for playing the addictive Scrabble-like game on his iPad while the airplane was still at the gate, not moving, a source familiar with the situation told the Daily News. He later demanded the flight attendant’s name, and the conflict escalated, the source said. The actor, 53, was being rebooked on a later American Airlines flight after his removal, Baldwin tweeted. Word of the ejection spread at supersonic speed as other passengers posted on Twitter, apparently committing the same offense as Baldwin.

He's tweeting non-stop about it right now, and his defense, it was kinda a bitch move by American Airlines. But more to the point, I bet Herman Cain really sucks at Words With Friends. There's no U in "economy", dude.

Alec Baldwin was at a gala celebrating 30 years of PETA where he talked about the evils of wearing fur as a thinly-veiled excuse to say that he really wants to see Blake Lively naked. Digital Spy reports:

"These younger girls, whether they get naked or not, are the biggest stars, who are the role models," he told E! News. "I'm a big fan of [Blake Lively]. I think she's a really really gorgeous woman, very stylish. These are the ones who have all the influence." Subtly referring to the troubled Mean Girls star, Baldwin added: "There are certain people who, I won't name, but they are in and out of rehab, they're getting arrested for drug use and they're twittering about their drug problem - it's a shame. I think those people had a real opportunity to fill a certain role in society and they didn't necessarily step up, but those that are I think it's a great thing if they get involved with anti-fur or anti-animal testing."

Although Alec Baldwin supports PETA and is a raging psychopath in real life, he had the greatest cameo in movie history so he will always get a pass from me. You know who doesn't get a pass from me? Steve Smith. Or from any quarterback on his team. Mainly because John Fox thinks the Panthers are playing in leather helmets and that a draw play on 3rd & 8 is a good idea. If I ever saw the Panthers line up in a 5 wide formation, I'd look like a squirrel who was just handed a pencil and asked to solve the Poincaré conjecture.

A cameo role or cameo appearance (often shortened to just cameo) is a brief appearance of a known person in a work of the performing arts, such as plays, films, video games[1] and television. These roles are generally small, many of them non-speaking ones, and they're commonly either appearances in a work in which they hold some special significance (such as actors from an original movie appearing in its remake), or renowned people making uncredited appearances.

Alec Baldwin will appear on The View in a taped segment tomorrow in which he claims he is so distraught over the custody battle that led him to leave the voicemail for his daughter, Ireland, that he has asked to leave his show, 30 Rock. Page Six reports:

Baldwin, interviewed yesterday by Barbara Walters and Rosie O'Donnell for a segment to air tomorrow on "The View," was described as "soft-spoken, apologetic and thoughtful" during the chat. "He said he asked to be released from his contract," Baldwin's spokesman, Matthew Hiltzik, told Page Six. "NBC is not releasing him, and he will fulfill his contract." Baldwin said that when he left an angry voice mail for Ireland calling her "a rude, thoughtless little pig," he was inappropriately directing feelings that should have been expressed to Kim."

This should be a great interview because Barbara Walters is known for her hard-hitting questions. Just ask Hugo Chavez. He was sweating and squirming in his seat when Barbara asked him about his love life and if he liked coffee. There's no way Alec can stand that kind of interrogation. Barbara will have him so completely flabbergasted, he won't even be able to talk when Rosie asks him if he feels his freedoms are threatened now that he knows that Osama Bin Laden is at the White House frozen in carbonite, or that Bigfoot blew up the WTC Towers under orders from the CIA.

Kim Basinger hotness:


Note: Alec Baldwin is an asshole, but as one of our readers previously pointed out, this is probably the greatest cameo in movie history.

Update: Here's the segment which aired today. Thanks, TMZ!

The above audio is a voice mail left by Alec Baldwin to his 11-year old daughter, Ireland, last Wednesday. Embroiled in a heated custody battle since 2001, Baldwin's representative said:

Although Alec acknowledges that he should have used different language in parenting his child, everyone who knows him privately knows what he has been put through for the past six years."

No offense Alec, but nobody gives a fuck. It's pretty clear from the audio that you're not really upset that you can't talk to your daughter, you're just pissed because you had to wake up before noon. I'm surprised no one has gone Bud White on this lunatic yet. I'd imagine it'd be pretty hard to "straighten her ass out" when you have to worry about that pesky morphine drip.

Note: Not get lost in all this is the fact that Kim Basinger, Ireland's mother, leaked this audio to the media, which will probably lead to Basinger's second contempt of court charge for violating the terms of the custody decision.
