Alec Baldwin Takes A Swipe At NBC, Then Scientology. Perfect!

Alec Baldwin and “30 Rock” co-star Tina “Way Hotter Than Sarah Palin” Fey.

Readers of Glosslip know we love us some Alec Baldwin. Sure he’s a hot-head with a fat head, but we still love him.

As one of the only places on earth where you could find support for Mr. Baldwin after his infamous phone message to his then 11-year daughter Ireland, wherein he called her a “rude, thoughtless pig,” Glosslip once again commends Mr. Baldwin for calling it like it is.

This time, instead of wagging his finger at snippy tweens schooled in manners by crazy vindictive blonds, he’s taking swipes at the execs at NBC (his bosses for his hit show with the fabulous Tina Fey, “30 Rock”) and those crazy ass Scientology whackadoodles over at “My Name Is Earl.

What am I talking about? Check this out from the SFGate’s Daily Dish:

Baldwin recently launched a scathing attack on NBC, criticizing TV chiefs for giving extra help to shows including “Scrubs” and “My Name Is Earl,” at the expense of his own TV comedy.

He said, “NBC hasn’t done a thing to help this show (’30 Rock’). They’ve gone out of their way to wring the last drops out of ‘My Name Is Earl’ and ‘Scrubs.’ Those shows are done! They’re cooked! Yet they do a one-hour episode of ‘Earl.’”

And the star’s comments have infuriated “My Name Is Earl” creator Greg Garcia, who has fired back, labeling Baldwin “unlikable” and “distasteful.”

He also refers to Baldwin’s 2007 scandal over a leaked phone message to his 11-year-old daughter Ireland — in which he called the youngster a “thoughtless little pig” — insisting the incident may have effected “30 Rock’s” ratings.

He tells New York Post gossip column Page Six, “(Baldwin) sounds like a psychotic narcissist. Instead of blaming NBC, I think Alec should consider that some people in America may not want to watch a man who cusses out his own 11-year-old daughter on a phone message.

“Oh, and the reason NBC occasionally puts on an hour long episode of ‘Earl’ is because an hour of ‘Earl’ gets better ratings than an ‘Earl’ followed by a ‘30 Rock.’ It’s called math, stupid.”

So, not only did Greg Garcia (creator of the lame “My Name Is Earl”) get his Xenuroos in a bunch and call Baldwin stupid, he then brought up a touchy personal subject about him, rather than keeping the fight within the context of the two shows. That was a hit below the belt, although, the “psychotic” part may be on the money.

Anyway, Alec, not one to shy away from a fight (he’s Irish, Catholic AND from Long Island, go figure) has fired back in ways that make my loins tingle (ok TMI, sorry):


But wait, there’s more…

Alec Baldwin To Run For Governor?

Hothead Alec Baldwin has not ruled out a run for governor of New York, provided he doesn’t have to speak to any tweenaged girls in the process:

“There’s other things I want to do [besides acting],” he tells Morley Safer on “60 Minutes” this Sunday. “In a matter of weeks, I’m going to be 50.” Bombastic Baldwin was thinking of running for governor two years ago before he lost his temper and left a voice mail for his daughter Ireland, then 11, calling her “a rude, thoughtless little pig.” Given a chance to apologize for calling Kim Basinger’s lawyer, Judy Bogen, a “300-pound homunculus with a face like a clenched fist,” Baldwin replied, “I was being kind, Morley.”

You know, Alec often seems to be missing that little chip that most people have in their brain that says, “Hey, perhaps you shouldn’t say that,” but sometimes that quality can be quite refreshing.  Most other actors would be backpedaling so fast that they’d get muscle cramps, but not Alec.  I’ve got to remember that insult.  Well, as soon as I find out how to pronounce “homunculus”.

My personal favorite insult is “slack-jawed mouth-breathing knuckle-dragging monosyllabic troglodyte.”  Feel free to use it, Alec.  Just not at your daughter.  (Oh stop, it’s a joke…GlossLip was one of the very few sites to stick up for the man.  I like Alec, I just don’t always like his actions.)

But Governor? Frankly, I like Alec best when he shuts up and looks cool.  But if California can have the Governator…?  Wonder if he’d rename the Governor’s Mansion “The Inner Sanctum” and be chauffeured in a cool retro taxi?  (Just keep Penelope Ann Miller away, puhleeze.)

Partay At Alec Baldwin’s Place! w00t!

alec4.jpg

There’s a party at Alec Baldwin’s New York pad, if the writer’s strike isn’t settled by the Golden Globes:

Barring any imminent settlement of the WGA strike, the 2007 Golden Globe Awards will be held at my apartment on the Westside of Manhattan this year. I have cleared all of this with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The HFPA makes only one simple request and that is that you pre-order your meal selection NO LATER than Friday, January 4th, 2008.

The choices are as follows:

1) Tuna Salad, whitefish salad or egg salad (choice of one)

2) Ham, turkey, bologna, swiss cheese (choice of two)

3) Potato salad, macaroni salad, cole slaw (choice of two)

4) Pickles, relish, mustard, mayo, rye bread…all complimentary.

5) Beverages are as follows: Liter of red or white wine or 6 (six) cold bottles of Amstel (promotional) complimentary.

All other cocktails will be cash bar. (Sprite, Coke, Strawberry YooHoo and Diet Peach Snapple are complimentary)

Hmm. I’d like the whitefish salad, turkey and swiss, none of the salad choices (ick), some mayo with rye, and I’ll have a Strawberry YooHoo. Five-thirtyish? I’m so there.

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I think Alec is hawt.  He’s the reason why I am at Glosslip. As long as he doesn’t start ranting about, well, whatever it is he likes to rant about, he’s a total dilf to me.

Actually, I shouldn’t say that I think he should just look good and not talk. I actually agree with Alec on some things. Such as the fact that his ex is a total nutter. Actually, Alec is a bit of a nutter himself. But he looks good doing it. And, by golly, that’s the really important thing…not what you say, but that you look good saying it.
