Alec Baldwin is a talented actor, but it seems like he's terrible at relaxing. After news broke this week about his alleged stalker (which brought the disgust of Andrea Pesyer, plus some Today Show employees to try to interview him at his home) and an incident last week where the Daily News sent a reporter and photographer to his fiancee's yoga class, Baldwin has been complaining about the media and the kind of attention that's paid to an Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning and Oscar-nominated celebrity. So he's in Rome right now, yet he's still lashing out: more ›

Bernardo Bertolucci's 1972 film Last Tango in Paris has been hailed as "a landmark in movie history" by New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael, as well as pornography and polarizing, for its torrid sex scenes between a paunchy, middle-aged Brando and very young Maria Schneider. Tomorrow night, at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, the movie is being screened by none other than actor-Tweeter Alec Baldwin and writer-director James Toback, who will be discussing the film afterwards. And there are still tickets left (details below)! more ›

Over the weekend Alec Baldwin, who turns 54 years old today, proposed to his girlfriend, 28-year-old yoga instructing Hilaria Thomas, while the two were away in Montauk. How do we all know this? Because Alec Baldwin is very famous! So naturally, this important life moment that would normally be kept amongst friends and family for the rest of us, was splashed about in the newspapers. It comes with the territory of being famous, and the two likely weren't going to keep it a secret anyway, as they've documented their love for each other in many public Tweets. But Baldwin went off on Twitter last night after one newspaper, The Daily News, sent photographers to his fiance's yoga class to get photos of the ring. more ›

If Alec Baldwin fell out of favor with you after his in-flight tantrum, then he might just win you back with this. The actor has teamed up with PETA in a new campaign against the Ringling Bros. Circus. In the below four-minute video, he narrates the life of a circus elephant from birth, to being "broken," to getting bullhooked by trainers. The video shows footage of the elephants being tortured by circus employees—footage that is even more disturbing than PETA's original video documenting the abuse, which we published in 2009. more ›

December 6, 2011 is a day that Alec Baldwin will never forget. After being kicked off an American Airlines flight from LAX to JFK—and delaying things for the other travelers—Baldwin deactivated his Twitter account and allowed gleeful tabloids and American Airlines to explain that he basically had a tantrum over being asked to stop using his phone. But don't worry: Baldwin has used his soapbox at the Huffington Post to give his side of the story. more ›

In the midst of the most important story of our time, Alec Baldwin's spokesman wants us to know that getting the boot from an American Airlines flight was just Alec being Alec. "Alec loves Words With Friends so much that he was willing to leave a plane for it," flack Matthew Hilzik tells the Daily News. And fellow famous-person Oscar De La Hoya, who was on the flight from LAX to JFK, tweeted "I think the flight attendant over reacted…@AlecBaldwin was doing nothing wrong but playing 'words' on his phone." But couldn't this just be some celebrity Omertá? According to American Airlines, Baldwin was acting like a thoughtless little pig. more ›

Does the man who once sat on Cloud 7 believe there's something to Building 7? On Howard Stern's radio show last night, Tony Bennett questioned who was really to blame for the September 11th attacks that killed 2,996 Americans. "They flew the plane in, but we caused it," Bennett said. "But who are the terrorists? Are we the terrorists or are they the terrorists?" Bennett was alluding to the imposing presence of the United States in the Middle East prior to the attacks, but the damage had already been done. Look for his new single, "Who Can I Turn To (When People Find My Views On 9/11 In Poor Taste)," this fall. more ›

Baldwin stopped to chitchat with Letterman last night and explained that he'd like to "be" the mayor, not necessarily "run" for mayor. And why would that be?

This will be Radiohead's second time on SNL; the first came in 2000, promoting Kid A, when they performed blistering versions of "The National Anthem" and "Idioteque," during which Thom Yorke unleashed his now-classic spastic-sexy dance moves for the world. (Watch "Idioteque" below.) more ›

There's been a whole lot of brouhaha about a possible Alec Baldwin mayoral bid for the 2013 race: will he do it? Will he square off against his flaxen-haired, freakishly tan baby brother Stephen? What will become of Jack Donaghy?! We're not sure, and Baldwin apparently isn't either, because he needs to back to school to learn how to be a mayor first. more ›

Proving that New Yorkers and indeed the country has an unslakable thirst for the second-best Baldwin (our heart belongs to Billy), eldest brother Alec will be hosting SNL for a record 16th time for the show's 37th season premiere this fall.

Since the ongoing revelations of Rep. Anthony "Stop Staring At My Weapon!" Weiner's private life can't stop/won't stop, his chances at running for mayor in 2013 are looking dimmer and dimmer. This week, a friend of 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin alleged that The Shadow was interested in a mayoral run. And Mayor Bloomberg said he thinks that's great...as long as he doesn't bother him whatsoever: "I only want him to stay out of my business for the next 935 days. For the record, I do not plan to go into his business." more ›

If there's been one silver lining to emerge from this whole Anthony Weiner mess, it's the tantalizing prospect of The Shadow as our next mayor. According to a friend, 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin is mulling throwing his hat into the 2013 NYC mayoral race: “Alec said, ‘Hey, maybe this changes the race. The dynamics have shifted.’ The Democrats need a high-profile candidate, and Alec can fill that bill,” the unnamed "pal" told The Daily. more ›
