Here are some newish photos of Alec Baldwin out and about in NYC with his new baby Carmen and his wife Hilaria around New Year’s. Alec wasn’t getting photographed for a while, immediately after MSNBC fired him (or he left willingly, whatever you choose to believe). He lost his MSNBC show just as soon as he got it, because Alec Baldwin is a rage monster who loves nothing more than to scream homophobic obscenities at paparazzi taking his photo. He blames his rage on the tabloid and celebrity-famewhore culture… which his wife actively participates in as someone who works as a “correspondent” for Extra and as someone who posts a lot of baby photos on her Instagram. What a tangled web we weave.
Anyway, newish photos. And Alec must be medicated, because he’s not trying to violently attack the photographer. Is he learning how to keep his temper in check? Doubtful. Especially now that he’s pissed off so many media outlets, they’re just going to keep poking the (anger) bear. Not only does the NY Daily News hate Alec, but the National Enquirer is also holding a grudge against him. Thus, this new story:
ALEC BALDWIN on a slippery slope as bad Karma kicks in! WITH his dream of a political career ruined by his latest tirade, hothead Alec Baldwin has been down in the dumps, pals say.
The Emmy-winning actor – new dad to a baby girl with second wife Hilaria Thomas – is a “shell of himself ” after the ugly outburst cost him his cable TV talk show, said a friend.
“Alec looks like he’s aged five years in the past month,” the friend told The ENQUIRER. “He’s dour and argumentative with his own family. They worry he’s slipping into a full-blown bout of depression. With his new baby, these should be the happiest times of Alec’s life. Instead, he keeps saying, ‘I’ve really done it this time.’ ”
The “30 Rock” star, 55, landed in hot water repeatedly in 2013 – hurling racial slurs at one photographer, which Baldwin denied, throwing gay insults at a British journalist and tussling with yet another photographer in August shortly after daughter Carmen’s birth.
He hit rock bottom in November when he spat derogatory gay comments at a photographer. The fallout was so brutal that MSNBC yanked his show off the air after just five broadcasts. Baldwin had hoped to use the show as a platform to run for New York City mayor, but that’s just a pipe dream now, the friend added.
“Political opponents would have a field day tearing him apart,” said the source. “Alec is filled with remorse over his public behavior, and he’s on a downward slide. He realizes he’s done some things that no apologies will ever fix.”
Personally, I think Alec made his peace with the fact that he could not and should not run for public office a long time ago. Probably around the “rude thoughtless little pig” voicemail message to his daughter. That alone was enough to sink any dream of public office. Throw in the hate speech and the violence, and yeah… it was never going to happen. As for his other career prospects… well, he’s been saying he just wants to be a house-husband and stay-at-home father for a while now. Let him do that. He’s saved his money, he has the young trophy wife and the baby. Just enjoy that.

Honestly I loved the man in everything he starred in (yes even The Shadow) and he was awesome on 30 Rock but he needs to stay out of the limelight and just host SNL if he feels like it in 2014 and stop being so easy to provoke.
I understand he hates the paparazzi and having people in his business but if his wife is going to invite people into their lives like she has he needs to be annoyed at her. If his young wife wants to be a famewhore (all signs points to yes) he should let her have at it and stay at home with the dogs and the kid and stop being such a rage monster when a camera goes to take his picture.
I agree. Even though I am not a fan of Alec Baldwin, I love Jack Donaghy. And of course, I would love to try some of Pete Schweddy’s Schweddy Balls at some point in my life.
His characters are a lot more lovable than he is.
Agree!!! I love Jack Donaghy!
Oh come on Kaiser, tell us something we don’t know!!
😛
And that’s news???
Haha that was my exact thought also! It’s like saying water is wet.
I heard him on Howard Stern and he’s just so goddam smug. Ughhhhh I used to stomach him because his acting is truly good but at this point his vile personality really gets in the way.
Yeah, that’s the way he always acts.
I don’t know if its possible for him, but his best bet would be to stay away from the booze and the paps – forever. Just sink away into a private life, hang out with the kid and the wife. Who knows, Alex, you may enjoy it.
Well, as for right now he doesn’t seem to be enjoying it at all.
The kindest thing I can say about this idiot is that he is an emotional toddler.
It really seems like this new marriage is a huge mismatch. Hilaria (aka Hilarious according to my phone) is a famewhore just getting started, and he is so over public exposure he has become the poster boy for rage and intolerance.
Anyone have any insights into this relationship?
On Howard Stern he was raving about how his wife is literally the best person he has ever met, incapable of making a mistake and bla bla bla. Putting another person on a pedestal like that is a recipe for disaster. I give it a year!
He said similar things at the start of his relationship with Kim Basinger too, didn’t he? Kim was the love of his life once. And then he even managed to convince us that the problem was not his being a rage-monster but that Kim was alienating him from his daughter. Except that said daughter grew up to be clearly very close to her father despite his asshole-ishness didn’t she?
Jeez, I feel sorry for him. Look at his facial expressions in those photos. He looks depressed and not angry. Maybe they caught him on a bad day, who knows? But still.
Oh, my, he thought he would go into politics? Hahahaha! I didn’t know that! News flash, Alec, they take your picture when you’re a politician, too. Can you imagine him in a debate, lunging over the podium to strangle somebody who disagreed with him? No, I’m not sure that’s the right path for him.
I can’t stand that name Hilaria. It sounds like a combination of hysteria and hilarious. Cute dogs, though.
I would love to see him in a debate, lunging and cussing..
Oh, please. He lives for this drama. Being crabby, having the same tired conflicts, blah blah blah… if not for this, why get up in the morning if you’re a grouchy narcissistic sort like Alec Baldwin?
Seriously I’ve read “The Emmy-wining actor”.
Poop bags.
You know, I’d be more inclined to cut Alec more slack, if it wasn’t for how he goes off on the paparazzi ALL THE TIME. I can imagine how he is at home. Like when I heard of the ‘rude little pig’ incident–I kind of rolled my eyes and said ‘that’s it’—I think we’ve all said things that we regret to our kids, our parents, our friends, etc. I felt pretty bad for him, because what should’ve been a private family matter was leaked to the press.
So it’d be one thing, if that was a catalyst for him going to anger management, getting help with his anger problems. But he hasn’t–if he has, it didn’t work. And it’s like a ticking time bomb–they know they can set him off. And his homophobic comments don’t help either–it makes it worse. And he doesn’t seem to think that his anger has an affect on people–the people that he loves. I for one, would not want to date someone who goes off like that, on the fly. I don’t want to be in fear of my boyfriend/husband–don’t want to have to walk on eggshells around him.
And I don’t think he’ll ever get help that he needs–maybe it’s an old guy thing, but I would, if I were him.
I think poor Alec bit off more than he can chew with his hot young wife. Reality is sinking in that he married a famewhore who wants her mug on every magazine and TV show out there. He looks old, tired and worn out. She’s aged him 15 years in the past 15 months. As they say, be careful about what you wish for – you just may get it.
Seriously a baby is exhausting. In your 30s it’s tough. In your 40s it’s even harder.
He’s in his 50s right.
A lot if his rage could be full out exhaustion.
(Not excusing it of course, just pouting it out). I know I get super grumpy and irritable if I’m low on rest.
This. It’s how Mother Nature compensates middle-aged women bearing up to trophy wives. Ha Ha. Post-partum depression. Maybe he should get his testosterone level checked.
I have never seen a blissful middle aged father with a baby and or young children. They are initially proud of their virility to produce a child with their younger wife…horny smug love machine. After the baby is born they are shell shocked and pissed off because their trophy wife is no longer a trophy. The baby receives most of the attention, and old horny Dad is neglected once again. Having a teenager to raise in your sixties and seventies seems overwhelming and sheer torture to these egomanical men♥Mother Natures subtle justice always wins in the end.
He’s no different than kanye west. He’s also a rageaholic they both need therapy. Paparazzi comes with being a celebrity learn to live with it and get over it Alex and kanye.
Honestly I think he is a lot less narcissistic than Kanye.
In Australia men like Baldwin are usually referred to as yobbos: loud, argumentative, angry….
The average or garden variety type.
I think we all tend to see him as a problem because he has chosen not to hide behind PR spin doctors and doesn’t give a crap about Hollywood and its tendency to sugar coat. I’m not condoning his actions, they are stupid and detrimental because if he wants to be like that, then don’t work in such an industry. Be a tradesperson or something away from the screen and media.
Now that I’ve said what I’ve said, I think I’ll amend the PR bit. I don’t think that it is his choice but rather people choosing not to be his PA or PR, all due to his temperament. One would have to be a masochist or a greedy parasite to work for him as a PA or PR manager.
He seems like a person who’ll blow a few gaskets over the most trivial things, like forgetting the dry cleaning.
Yobbo… I like it. Thanks, Evi. Baldwin gives good gossip. Posts about Baldwin never fail to amuse me. At his expense, of course. Yobbo!!!
Yobbo sounds right…I’m an Aussie too. He’s a bit like Russell Crowe – also a bit of a yobbo and people put up with them because they’re rich & famous. If they were average blokes without substantial $$$ assets they’d likely be kicked to the kerb. Alec has probably just realised Hilarious has him by the balls now. And he’s not laughing.
Do I think Hilaria’s motives for marrying Alec were laughably transparent (to the rest of the world, just apparently not him)? Yes. However, I really don’t understand the argument that she and her hubby should allow the paparazzi to do whatever they like and have no reaction to it at all, with the sole reason behind it being that she (gasp!) DARES to post personal pictures of her OWN BABY on her Instagram page. Is Alec an angry man with some issues? Sure. Are his reactionary words always appropriate? No. Be even so, what kind of logic is that?!
It’s really the equivalent of saying that none of us should ever post pics of our own babies/kids on our pages if we aren’t prepared to allow total strangers on the street to follow us around and take pictures of them (and allow it all with no fuss). The parents being celebrities or not, paparazzi are aggressive, total strangers taking pictures of their infant. End of story (in this instance).
He and Paula Deen should do an apology tour!
I am pretty sure that Mr. Baldwin is aware that certain things just come with being a celebrity. You have basically invited most of the world into your personal life. The criticism from strangers who think they know you because of your celebrity. I am sure the he would not trade the money and lifestyle he is now living to just be a regular civilian struggling with a meager weekly paycheck. Just control your emotions and enjoy your lifestyle. It will not last forever!
Alec, the dogs need to go out!
Alec, the toilets backing up again!
Alec, today is trash pickup!
Alec, the baby needs to be changed!
Alec, the ceiling fans need dusting!
Alec, the garbage dispos-UUGGHH!!!
A–A- – – c- c–
Yes, I think Alec becomes inflamed and angry more often than we see others do that, but he does have some good reasons for squabbling, especially with the paps. I think he just says it like it is and doesn’t care about appearances. Of course, this gets him into trouble quite a bit, but at least he has the guts to rant a bit about what he feels isn’t right, so I give him that.
Inflamed, lol. Reminds me of hemorrhoids…
I actually think he has some kind of disorder or mental illness…something that’s either not being treated or is not being treated properly. His outbursts and behavioural problems have happened often enough to show a consistent pattern of behaviour that’s not normal. You could say that’s just his personality and he has a right to rant at times (and he does have just cause in some cases), but when it affects his life to the point of causing harm to his health and quality of life and career, then you have to wonder, what else is going on beyond saying he’s just an a-hole? You can be assertive and plain-spoken and opinionated and so on, but there’s a way to do it without alienating people like he does.
d: A very smart shrink I know boiled psychopathology down to this: “There are crazy people, nervous people, and assholes.” Draw your own conclusions….
Hah. Good point. I suppose it really is a waste of time trying to figure out someone like him. Need to stop being a sucker for drama queens.
He’s a total butthead no doubt.
I admit that I’d probably be the “just GTFO my face with that camera and lemme get my coffee” type of celebrity.
He’d have to take personal responsibility for his actions in order for any of this story to be true. He’s never done that in the past. He’d never do that now. It’s always someone else’s fault, or he didn’t say what we clearly heard him say, or he “didn’t know” it was a slur.
Time to go away forever, Alec. You blew the gift of the second chance you got when you landed 30 Rock.
There is the creepiest tale of him attempting to lure Kim Basinger to the edge of a cliff near the end of their marriage. I hope that Hilaria can handle the backlash when she leaves him. Maybe she can enhance her yoga practice with some boxing lessons. He isn’t exactly a peacenik like Paul McCartney. God diggers need to study their queen Heather and learn a bit. Howard Stern was a good target also because he is a wuss. Alan Thicke’s poor wife can probably paper the state of California with her prenup. The babies will at least give the GD’s a income beyond what they agreed to in their prenups and they will have 18-24 years to hook a new wallet.
