Adults Can Be Better

Ok, so here's the background: Alec Baldwin flipped out on his 11-year-old daughter and left a hateful voicemail message on her cell phone, mom Kim Basinger denied leaking the message to the media, mom hired a security guard to protect daughter Ireland from all of the media attention, Alec severed ties (or was let go) with his talent agency CAA (Creative Artists Agency) & Rosie O'Donnell made an announcement on "The View" (after already announcing June would be the end of her contract with "The View") this morning that Alec would be on Friday's show to apologize and explain his side of the story.

Of course, we know the apology is pre-taped (done today - Wednesday) and we know it will be severely edited...but here's what People magazine has been able to gather:

"Obviously calling your child a pig or anything else is improper and inappropriate and I apologize to my daughter for that," Baldwin said on the show, which is scheduled to air Friday.

"There's nothing wrong with being frustrated or angry about the situation," added Baldwin. "It's the way you do it, and as people often do in this world, I took it out on the wrong person."

"In my own case, with this message, I had never done this before in my life," he said.

Baldwin also added that he has asked NBC to release him from his contract for 30 Rock because he doesn't want the show or its cast and crew to be negatively affected by him.

"If I never acted again I couldn't care less," he told the audience. "I would like to devote myself to the cause of parental alienation," which is a subject Baldwin says he's writing a book about.

Lorne Michaels executive producer of "30 Rock" and head honcho at "Saturday Night Live" was also quoted as saying: "When you're dealing with custody, you never really know what's going on but I know he cares deeply about his daughter."

I just wish the family lots of luck in healing and in bringing this horrendous custody battle to an end. Let this be a lesson people, careful who you marry and have children with. If there is ugliness before marriage and chirrens - it will only be compounded after. Ya hearrrrd.

Security Guard For Ireland Baldwin

Oh man, things are just ugly with this family - at least right now. If you hadn't heard, Alec Baldwin let a horrendous message on his daughter Ireland's cell phone in which he called her a "pig" amongst other things.

A rep for mom Kim Basinger denied the actress linked the voicemail recording but has confirmed that, "Kim did hire security in response to the media attention on her daughter in order to allow Ireland to maintain her regular routine and activities uninterrupted."

Basinger is reportedly hoping Baldwin would "finally address his unstable and irrational behavior so he, at some point, can potentially create a relationship with his daughter."

Alec Baldwin Is Punk-Arse Bully!

We know Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger have an incredibly strained connection in their daughter (the two divorced in 2002 - she filed in 2001) and it doesn't seem to be letting up. Alec left a hateful and nasty message on his daughter's cell phone April 11 - after she did not answer a scheduled call. TMZ has the recording but here is what he disgustingly said:

"Once again, I have made an ass of myself trying to get to a phone," adding, "you have insulted me for the last time."

..."I don't give a damn that you're 12-years-old or 11-years-old, or a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care about what you do."

..."You've made me feel like s**t" and threatened to "straighten your ass out."

..."You better be ready Friday the 20th to meet with me."

TMZ is reporting an L.A. Superior Court commissioner heard the tape and "temporarily suspended Baldwin's visitation rights."

Dude's a total asshole. There's no excuse for speaking to your daughter (or any child) like that. Foolio.

Honey, I Have A Stomach Ache...Call An Ambulance

Alec Baldwin, vegetarian and "30 Rock" star, had a bit of a freak-out the other day at his NY apartment building. The NY Post says Baldwin walked into his uptown apartment building and asked the doormen to call an ambulance.

Paramedics did their duty, checked him out & found nothing wrong. I blame it on the edamame...gives my hubby raging gas every time! He'd kill me for sharing that. ;)
