Alec Baldwin Offends an Entire Country With His Plans to Have More Children

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 21 May 2009 20:35:00 GMT

Alec Baldwin, who joked that he might expand his family by “getting a Filipino mail-order bride ..." is apologizing to the people of the Philippines for the remark that was made during an appearance on The Late Show. So how do you apologize to an entire country? Why, by taking to your blog of course.

Baldwin, who apparently was threatened with physical violence after he made the quip that Philippine officials felt mocked their country's problems with sex trafficking, issued this apology on his blog on The Huffington Post:

“I’d like to offer an apology and a clarification to remarks I made recently. While on the David Letterman program, I joked that I might need a ‘mail-order bride’ to achieve the goal of having more children in my life. I believe that most people understood that this was a joke and took it as such. (A dated reference, no doubt, and another sign of my advancing age.) However, I do apologize to anyone who took offense.”

The 30 Rock actor famously apologized in 2007 for a profanity-laced tirade that he unleashed on his then-11-year-old daughter Ireland. I'm a big fan of Baldwin's, but it looks like if he wants to avoid any future bad publicity he should probably steer clear of making any comments that have anything whatsoever to do with his kids or his family.

Alec Baldwin's Ireland Dreams Big

trix — Thu, 14 May 2009 18:33:00 GMT

Alec Baldwin's daughter Ireland wants to be a veterinarian. She's straying from the business and uncle Daniel's not very happy about it.

That's a very noble choice of profession, she's very passionate about animals and doesn't have any desire to pursue acting. Her uncle Daniel thinks he knows what's best for her and wants her to embrace her acting heritage.

He says the world is her oyster and that she is very bright. If he believes that, then why wouldn't he want her to do what she really loves, especially if it's something that has the potential to do so much good.

Tina Fey Talks About Her Daughter Alice, Motherhood, and Fame

Josh loposer — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 21:30:00 GMT

You might think that it'd be weird to grow up with superstar Tina Fey as a mother, but 2 and 1/2 year-old Alice Zenobia is all that impressed. She's more interested in her mom's co-stars Elmo and Oscar in her latest DVD Elmo and the Bookaneers.

“She met Elmo and Oscar, though she was less than two at the time and a little scared of Oscar — but she got her photo taken inside his trash can.”

According to Tina, Alice isn't to into her jokes and actually "thinks that Daddy is funnier." And that's probably OK, because mommy's sense of humor doesn't really cater to Alice's demographic. The thought of a kid laughing at Tracy Jordan, Jenna Maroney, or Jack Donaghy and comprehending 30 Rock's cynical little comedy nuggets is almost kinda disturbing.

As to whether Alice comprehends mommy's superstar status, here's what Tina had to say:

"She's starting to, and I'm trying to figure out how to downplay it. I want her to know that to be famous is not really important and not a sign of any kind of merit. But I do like her coming on the set and seeing how different jobs work and that people have different roles in making the show."

Alec Baldwin Has Issues, But Not Like Caitlin Flanagan: A Strollerderby Take

Whit Honea — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 11:26:00 GMT

Do you remember when Alec Baldwin had a very ugly conversation with his daughter via voicemail that became very public and even uglier? Remember that?

Yeah, so does Caitlin Flanagan, who might be the craziest one of all. Check out Strollerderby's take on Flanagan and her take on the Baldwin tirade.

Daniel Baldwin and Wife Joanne Are Expecting, Again

Josh loposer — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 19:01:00 GMT

Daniel Baldwin's wife Joanne Smith-Baldwin rolled up to premiere of Grey Gardens sporting quite the baby bump Thursday evening. Apparently, the couple is already 5 months pregnant. When were they going to tell us?

“Joanne’s five months along. We’re due August 12th and it’s a girl!” Daniel tells CBB/PEOPLE. “We won’t commit to a name yet. Well, she won’t. I will. But I’m not allowed to say yet!”

If you're trying to remember which one Daniel is, I'll help you out: he's the second oldest of the Baldwin brothers, he has four children, a long list of legal issues, and was featured on VH1's Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.

Appropriately enough, Daniel actually met Joanne at a rehab center in Miami. Joanne was a cook at the facility and they two apparently hit it off.

Two years later, the couple is expecting their second child together. In total, Daniel has four children already: Kahlea, 25, Alexandra, 18, Atticus, 12, and Avis Ann, 15 months -- each with a different mother.

Tina Fey Wins SAG Award and Owes It All to Daughter Alice

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 04:16:00 GMT

Tina Fey won the first award of the evening at tonight's Screen Actors Guild Awards, taking the honor for best female actor in a comedy series for her work on "30 Rock." Fey was quick to give credit where credit was due and dedicated her award to her daughter, Alice, 3, calling her "the funniest person in my family."

The actress also took a thinly-veiled jab at Hollywood producers, who have battled Hollywood trade guilds over actors, writers and others' share of potential profits from Web programming. Referring again to Alice, Fey said, "Some day she'll be old enough to watch 30 Rock reruns on the Internet and understand where Mommy was going at 6 a.m. every day for all that time. And she'll look up at me and say, 'What do you mean you don't get residuals for this?' "

Ireland Basinger-Baldwin Turns 22

Whit Honea — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 18:01:00 GMT

Seriously, that's what this post should be about, but since she's only 18 13 we'll have to talk about her and her mom Kim going to the premiere of the tween vampire flick Twilight that all the kids are talking about.

Yes, KIDS. That outfit is ridiculous and so is Ireland's.

Ireland is the daughter of Kim Basinger (left) and Alec Baldwin. You may remember her from such hits as the Alec Baldwin voicemail rant.

I'm sure Alec will be thrilled to see this photo.

Tina Fey's Daughter Confused by Sarah Palin

Karl Erikson — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 23:29:00 GMT

Tina Fey, who does a dead-on Sarah Palin impression but won't be doing them any more, says that her 3-year-old daughter Alice Zenobia is totally "confused" by her mother's resemblance to Palin. When Palin did Saturday Night Live on October 18, Alice was on the set. Tina was holding Alice while Governor Palin was on a monitor. Alice said, "I see you up there!"

38-year-old Tina replied, "No, I'm here with you." Lately, Tina says she's been testing her daughter with the newspaper. "I'll say, 'Who's that?' And she'll say 'Sarah Palin.' And then I'll show her my picture and say, 'Who's that?' She'll go 'Sarah Palin.' I'm like, 'No, that's mommy!' She looked at me and scowled, she was really mad when I corrected her."

When shown a picture of President-elect Barack Obama, Tina said, "His name is Barack Obama." Laughter burst out of Alice. "That's crazy!" she said. Tina says, "She thought that was the funniest thing she'd ever heard." It IS a pretty funny name.

When FameCrawler staples Alec Baldwin and Sarah Palin strolled through the set of SNL together it was more than just comic gold, it was a meeting of two extremes.

"30 Rock" star Baldwin chatted with David Letterman and discussed his feelings on the VP candidate (hint, he calls her Bible Spice) and what the future holds for America and, of course, the children.

Super Left-Winger Alec Baldwin heaping praise on uber-mom Sarah Palin? WTF? Is the Earth going to reverse its rotation? Is Barbra Streisand going to french kiss John McCain? Is Tom Cruise going to get sucked up in some alien tractor beam and probed by aliens? OK, fine, that last one has probably already happened.

But yeah, Alec Baldwin politely acknowledged GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin's performance in last weekend's Saturday Night Live. "Palin came on to be a good sport," Alec said. "And she was. She was polite, gracious. More so than some of the famous actors who come through there, believe me."

He also says that Palin's appearance won't sway any voters. Those that think otherwise "have more contempt for the electorate of this country than the Republican National Committee does. And that's a lot of contempt." SNL exists only "to make people laugh. It's not Meet The Press."

In related news, nobody gives a damn what Alec Baldwin says. Except maybe for Arianna Huffington.

Sarah, 44, got some much-deserved laughter on SNL last night, with cameos from Mark Wahlberg, Alec Baldwin, and of course, Tina Fey. At least she can laugh at herself.

What is Alec Baldwin Up To?

Jane Krakowski Forgot to Have Kids

Karl Erikson — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 14:49:00 GMT

Jane Krakowski, 39, is best known for her roles on "Ally McBeal" and "30 Rock," but not for her motherhood. That's mostly because she doesn't have children.

She tells Page Six magazine about having kids: "I woke up one day, maybe a few weeks ago, and thought, 'Oh shit, I meant to do that. I sort of feel like that, like it's something I forgot to do and should get on before it's too late."

She is in a relationship with documentarian Marc Singer, and only caught the baby bug within the last year. "It was never a priority," she says, "and I don't regret that. This may be old-fashioned, but I want a child to be the product of love."

My, that IS old-fashioned, especially in Hollywood.

Listen, I admit that Krakowski is brilliant in "30 Rock." I don't watch it every week because there's so many other shows on Thursday night that it typically leaves my Tivo in a smoking heap. She's funny. But I have to say I think she's a bit, well, mannish. Not in the boobs department, mind you, in the face. She looks like a trannie, and not the kind you want to kiss, either. Course, your mileage may vary. Maybe you'd like to kiss him her.

Alec Baldwin was Suicidal?

Whit Honea — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 20:32:00 GMT

According to In Touch Alec Baldwin thought about ending it all after the whole voicemail debacle:

“He didn’t think that life was worth living once the Los Angeles County Superior Court commissioner suspended his visitation rights,” says an insider who has read Alec’s upcoming autobiography, A Promise to Ourselves: A Journey Through Fatherhood and Divorce, which will be released by St. Martin’s Press on September 23. “In the book, he writes about how he was serious about suicide. He definitely put a lot of thought into the different ways he could accomplish it.”

Glad he talked himself down. Granted, we have too many Baldwins, but you can't thin the herd over some dumb words and public embarrassment. If that was the case Hollywood would be empty (and pretty much every other place, too).

In other news, is anyone else totally excited for the return of "30 Rock?"

Alec Baldwin Reconciles With Kim Basinger!?!

trix — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:31:00 GMT

Alec Baldwin would probably poke my eyes out for even suggesting a reconciliation would ever happen, considering how much he still despises Kim Basinger. Good thing he doesn't know me from Eve!

He actually talked a little about her in an upcoming interview with The New Yorker.

It's apparent to the rest of us that read about what happened when they split up, the fights, the name calling, and the screaming at each other that they both were at fault for the split. However, this was his interview, so it was his side of things that we read about.

He say's that though they have been apart for years Kim still tries to turn his daughter from him all the time. "Parental alienation is about people who narcissistically project their whole reality onto a child: 'I don't need you, so the child doesn't need you.' The goal of the alienating parent is to kill contiguous time. People need reliability. They need regularity. And I've been the victim of a campaign to kill all that. You wind up being more an uncle than a father."

I feel for him, I feel for her, I couldn't imagine being a part time parent it must be so difficult. I think I would die a little every day that my kids were away.

P.S. I love "30 Rock".

Tina Fey's Baby Drops Today

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 15:05:00 GMT

No, Tina Fey isn't giving birth - her much-ballyhooed new movie, "Baby Mama" opens in theaters today. In the film Fey, who stars with former Saturday Night Live castmate Amy Poehler, is a single successful businesswoman who wants to have a baby. With an uncooperative uterus and no prospective husband in sight, Fey hires a loopy surrogate (Poehler) to have a baby for her. Hence the title, "Baby Mama" - in case you were having trouble figuring that one out.

Fey, who in real life has a daughter Alice, 2, with husband Jeff Richmond says if she were forced to choose a celebrity to have her baby it would be beach volleyball star Gabrielle Reece. "You try to think of who's healthy and it's, like, no one," she says. "But Gabrielle Reece is athletic and lives in Hawaii. Plus, she's already made some kick-ass babies."

Me, I would totally choose Tina Fey to have my baby.

I Heart Tina Fey

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 13:05:00 GMT

It's true. I love Tina Fey. But don't worry Tina - it's in a totally non-sexual, respectful, fawning, creepy sort of way. And yes, that was me in your hallway dressed like the FedEx guy!

But who wouldn't love Tina? She funny. She reduces her acting method to four moves, ”Eye-rolling; the ability to eat food on camera in real time; I think I’m a decent straight man. Do I have a fourth move? Um, unpleasant dancing.”

And she wise! Tina's take on fame: ”They should draw up an equation: What level of fame do you need to achieve to keep doing what you want? Because you don’t want any more than that. You don’t want someone to take a picture of your butt on the beach."

Now, everybody love on Tina!
