Everyone’s favorite daddy has big plans for the future.
During his
big damage control push over the
voicemail tape (you know, calling
his daughter a pig, threatening to get on a plane and straighten her out) Alec
Baldwin
told Babs, Rosie, and Co. on
The View that he wants to write a book on the damage
having an asshole for a father divorce does to children, and how dads get the shaft. In related news, Paris Hilton will be penning a book on the virtues of celibacy. Call me crazy, but if
I was campaigning for fathers’ rights during divorce, I don’t think I’d want Baldwin to be the official spokesperson.
He went on so long about the book that Madame Walters had to
remind him that his first priority should be repairing his relationship with
his daughter. When Barbara Walters tries to get you to say the appropriate,
sensitive thing, you know you’ve entered a special zone reserved for the
insanely boorish.
Baldwin also took the
opportunity to lay into his ex-wife, Kim Basinger. He only mentioned his poor
child as an opening to spew more hate and to blow hard about his goal to be the
next Dr. Spock. Right now some PR person is hurling coffee at their assistant and
shopping online for muzzles.
Maybe I’ll buy a copy of the book and put it on the shelf
next to the Joan Crawford book on positive discipline.
