Green Day’s Angry and Alec Baldwin’s Sorry

Green Day has just released a new album and it is at the top the charts. However, if you are going to purchase it, you can save yourself a trip to Wal-Mart. The mega chain store is not carrying it. Wal-Mart, as you may know, censors some music. The company wanted Green Day to edit their new album, “21st Century Breakdown,” for language and content. Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer for the group, was not agreeable. In a recent interview, he said “Wal-Mart’s become the biggest retail outlet in the country, but they won’t carry our record because they wanted … Continue reading

Worst Father of the Year Award: And the Winner is… Alec Baldwin?

This is a tough one. It wouldn’t be, if these grown men, who were blessed with healthy children, didn’t engage in such extraordinarily despicable behavior. So does the award go to dog collar daddy, these self-centered pathetic patriarchs, or this furious father, who could use some serious anger management counseling? They are all quite deserving of the bad dad award, in my opinion, and if I hadn’t heard the latest from the poster boy of pompous pops, I’d gladly watch them duke it out for the title. But, oops, he did it again! Alec Baldwin simply refuses to learn from … Continue reading

Alec Baldwin vs. My Name is Earl Creator

I like to think that I am up to date on all the latest happenings in Hollywood, but this one totally slipped under my radar. It seems that there has been a battle going on between 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin (never one to shy away from expressing his opinion) and the creator of My Name is Earl, Greg Garcia. (Photo Source David Shankbone licensed under Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0 Unported) Baldwin recently criticized both NBC’s lack of promotion for his show (30 Rock) and what he viewed as the over-promotion of two other shows, Scrubs and My Name … Continue reading

Look Who’s Turning 50

This is a big year for several celebrities – the big 50. You might be surprised to see who is turning 50 this year: Madonna Yes, it’s true – the Material Girl just turned 50 on August 16th, amid reports that her marriage was over due to an affair with Yankee Alex Rodriguez. However, 2008 was also a good year for Madonna, as she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March.

Stars Branching Out (And it Ain’t Pretty)

Not again… Victoria Beckham went from being a model to a singer to the subject of a reality TV series to earning a bit part on a popular network series and now the 34-year-old Spice Girl is headed to the big screen. UGH! Hold on a minute and you might understand why David Beckham’s wife is set to make her movie debut in “Hardy Men.” According to reports, she was personally hired by the film’s star Tom Cruise. Which just goes to show you that it’s not what you know, but who you know in Hollywood that guarantees work. According … Continue reading

Alec’s Apologies—From Bad To Worse

Just when you thought Alec Baldwin’s situation couldn’t get any worse… well, I suppose you can watch how the next chapter in his “parental alienation” saga unfolds tomorrow on national television. Baldwin is set to appear on ABC’s “The View” Friday morning (in a pre-taped piece that was recorded yesterday). Parts of the interview have been released to various media outlets and it shows the actor using the morning talk show as a venue to once again apologize for calling his 11-year-old daughter “a rude, thoughtless little pig.” But that’s old news. We’ve heard the actor’s public apology (or at … Continue reading

Alec Baldwin’s Apology Falls Short And Sparks A Gender War

Personally, I think the only one Alec Baldwin should be apologizing to is his 11-year-old daughter. (Actually, I think he should be begging her forgiveness.) But, as it turns out the actor’s angry words (which happened to be broadcast around the world) are now sparking a war between men and women. First, let’s discuss the 49-year-old actor’s explanation as to why he left a seething, brutal, berating voicemail on his young daughter’s cellphone in which he can be heard calling her “a rude, thoughtless little pig.” Baldwin posted this (excuse) on his website yesterday: “I’m sorry, as everyone who knows … Continue reading

Actor’s Angry Rant At Young Daughter

If you’ve ever had the impression that most divorces are amicable affairs you must be unfamiliar with the details surrounding the demise of the marriage between actors Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger. The couple divorced in December 2001 after eight years of marriage, and it seems their bitter custody battle over their daughter Ireland has gone on just as long. For years the media has been following the pair’s highly contentious relationship and now it seems things have gone from bad to worse. According to news reports, the war between the spouses has taken another nasty turn. On Thursday an … Continue reading

The Nasty Hollywood Divorce And The Innocent Child Caught In The Middle

More than six years after the demise of their marriage and subsequent bitter battle over the custody of their daughter, actress Kim Basinger and ex-husband, Alec Baldwin are once again heading back to court. The reason: According to news reports, Baldwin filed charges against Basinger in Los Angeles Superior Court alleging that she interfered with his rights as a father. And so it continues… the ongoing custody battle over 10-year-old daughter Ireland. Honestly, my heart bleeds for this child. For years I have (irregularly) followed the contentious relationship between Basinger and Baldwin. Whereas, I was never interested in either parent’s … Continue reading
