Alec Baldwin's silver daddy hair = perfection — Page 3

I think Alec deserves to be called out. Of course the context of the rest of his life should be kept in mind -- it would be insane to think otherwise. And I don't, from all I've seen and read, think he's deeply homophobic. But to just brush away his comments as someone who is angry (I've been angry and I don't start shouting out the n word or for that matter *that* f word) or that it's OK because he obviously didn't mean them misses the point completely. He doesn't deserve to be blacklisted (and he won't be, anyway) but he does deserve to take some repercussions for what he said -- even more so because he DOES seem to genuinely be someone who is all for equal rights.

It is different, but it's still the same words. But I do think there's a distinction. (How's that for sounding non-committal)

Well, thank you, your honor, but it's actually it's quite relevant. What words would you use to people whose sole business is harassing you every single day?

So, henrik, if the paparazzi did to you what he did to Alec Baldwin, what would be the range of acceptable responses you would allow yourself, with "Excuse me, sir, please stop" being a 1 and "coCk-sucking fat-head" being a 9?

Weird what words get edited on here, and which I have to edit myself. Since I can't edit my posts because of my ****ing account, I just want to add that I don't think someone who says on his talk show that something is gay, or is caught saying that, should have his show pulled. But I do think an issue should be made out of it.

Anderson Cooper was in the closet for ten years and now he's the sheriff for gays? bye. Alec is still a king.

I always thought Billy was the cutest one.

Steven is mental.

Alec's hair looks good but even before this incident I thought he was a pompous bully. (but a pretty good actor).

The paparazzi suck yes, but plenty of celebs manage to keep from blowing their tops at them.

I think he's more narcissist than homophobe. He views himself as being on a different level than other people (the plane incident). And he gets off on the attention, good or bad.

---

To paraphrase Lisa Kron's mother from "Well": Not everybody has the same physical or emotional resources. The calm and collected celebs probably have lives that run more smoothly than Alec Baldwin's.

I agree with that, Namo. But I think he has a hand in making things bumpy for himself.

....But... Nobody calls someone Jesus Christ as a way to demean who they are. Of course some people find it deeply offensive when people say Jesus Christ, or God, for that matter, when upset but, at least for me, it's not the same. It's not like saying "You ****ing Christian."

Namo..

I was wondering if you read Harvey Fiersteins comments about Mr Baldwin and what your thoughts were?

"Alec Baldwin is nuts, but not evil. As someone who has known him for decades I can attest to that.
AND, just for the record, if news cameras and photographers gave you no space, no peace, filmed your every movement, aired your personal phone messages, stuck cameras in the face of your loved ones, allowed you no private space whatsoever for YEARS at a time... I think most of you would react far worse than he.
Those disgusting bloodsuckers who call themselves "reporters" push and prod and provoke like ill behaved teens outside a lion's cage. If the lion eventually turns around and eats the idiot... Well, that's called "cause and effect".
And if you don't believe me - Try having a friend or loved one hold a book up in your face and refuse to remove it. No matter where you looked or moved or how nicely you asked them to stop they keep the book in your face. See how long you'd put up with that nicely. Now imagine that for 24/7 for DECADES by a dozen people doing it!!!
Yes, celebrity has a price, but not to be tortured."
