Such a putz.

I'd probably say the same thing (if my wife wasn't doing it)

 

[Mile High]

"Twitter and Tumblr and Vine and Instagram and Facebook and Myspace, all these things are social media tools that we were all told we had to have, and what we're realizing is that no you don't! No you don't.

Probably the smartest thing he has said in years.

 

[Gawain]

I'd probably say the same thing (if my wife wasn't doing it)

Really, you'd go right to DEFCON-1 instead of stating that your wife had scheduled tweets that went out ahead of time and the timing was unfortunate?

Guilty Alec is guilty.

Yes.

Think about it. Some tabloid scumbag is trying to make money for himself by turning your wife into an shallow, insensitive ##### while you are at the funeral of a friend. I'd tear him a new one.

"My wife and I attend a funeral to pay our respects to an old friend, and some toxic Brit writes this f****** trash," he tweeted.

"My wife DID NOT use her phone, in any capacity, at our friends funeral."

The star of the award-winning comedy "30 Rock" threatened to find the writer of the story and "f****...you...up," referring to Stark as a "toxic little queen."

Grats, I'd think your wife did it too.

Pretty sure that guy doesn't get paid that way. He is a regular writer for the paper. Alex is an immature, coddled and entitled Hollywood type who should grow the #### up and get some help for his obvious anger issues. Or maybe you'd also like to excuse his other rants as well?

 

[SacramentoBob]

That's pretty low class of her.

Turning me into a full-time Baldwin defender? I'm saying in this situation I would curse the guy out too.

This isn't words with friends on an airplane, it's somebody trying to make money by insulting your wife. I'm not going to keep my mouth shut if somebody makes up insulting #### about my family, celebrity or not.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Okay, but ranting on twitter using the language he did is pretty much the worst way to handle it.

yeah, it's Alec Baldwin

 

[SacramentoBob]

I'd tell my wife to get off the damn cellphone when we were at a funeral if it was me.

Well if it had been a conservative that called that guy a toxic queen(despite Alex's protestations we all know this was meant as a gay slur) and threatened him with violence GLAAD sure wouldn't have been as forgiving. Double standards suck. If it's OK for Alex than it is OK for everybody. If it isn't OK for everybody then it should have been the same firestorm when this toddler said it.

Yep, that's about the level of broad I'd figure ole' Alex to be sticking his pecker into on a full time basis.

Oh please. This guy has plenty of celebrity crap to write about. The way to handle this is pretty much any way other than the way Alec handled it.

Doesn't change the fact that this parasite appears to have fed off the wrong host and I have no problem with him being called out about it.

I don't have a problem with the way Baldwin handled it either. He's been in the wrong many times before, this isn't one of them.

 

[Gawain]

The story isn't that some celebrity wife did something tactless. The story is Baldwin's butthurt and his homophobic slurs.

There's nothing homophobic about his comments. If you can't see that, then you're more the problem than the solution.

I could be wrong, but I think the point being made is that had Baldwin given a logical explanation (tweets scheduled ahead of time) rather than going all MOP on twitter, he wouldn't be in this situation, and people would be more inclined to believe him.

 

[Apple Jack]

GUYS! Stop Pissing Off Alec Baldwin.

I'll take that back..... I associate 'phobia/c' with fears and there's nothing that suggests, based on his comments, that Baldwin is truly phobic of homosexuals.

That's obviously not the case according to the definition of Homophobia as it is conveniently all encompassing of any/all negative words and thoughts about a homosexual person.

Terrible use of a suffix......

Yeah, I don't think that Baldwin is afraid of gay people, but I think that using gay slurs should be as frowned upon as using racial slurs. I don't know if the Daily Mail reporter is gay or not, but calling someone an azzhole is as effective as queen. Really though, he should have let it go.

 

[Das Boot]

His wife was innocent. So to speak.

 

[17seconds]

Oh I'm supposed to notice that Baldwin is a liberal and called a man a queen... that's where we take this. OK

 

[Apple Jack]

I think queen speaks to something that ###hole does not. Think drama queen.

Yeah, I'm with 17Seconds on this one. Someone rips into my wife, I'm ripping back. And I wouldn't hesitate to drop F-bombs.

"toxic little queen" is borderline homophobic at best, and being offended by that is just dumb. When you start a fight, expect to get hit back.

Close enough. That's how I and am sure many others read it. I know a few gay guys who have referred to themselves as a queen. They have Drag Queen contests (and yes, I realize many, if most are straight guys). I don't think calling a gay guy a queen is really pushing it over the edge.

Probably meant that Baldwin thought the reporter was a big fan of Freddie Mercury...oh wait.

Either way, we don't have a thread headed for two pages if Baldwin had kept his cool and stated these were auto-scheduled tweets and the timing was regrettable.

How about a follow up tweet to the same guy that he'd put his foot up his butt "but I'm sure you'd dig it too much"?

Per the link above, they were just retweets from other people that the stupid reporter thought were her live tweets.

Then again, maybe he was just Baldwin

I'm all for screwing with Baldwin, but leave his wife out of it.

Twitter is such a bad idea in a celeb's hands.

Probably the smartest thing he has said in years.

He meant it from the perspectiveofbs celeb/elite member of society. If you look at the entire context, it's a stupid comment. He is basically mad that the average person can express dissenting opinions to him.

 

[Ghost Rider]

That's a stupid attitude for Baldwin to have. There is nothing wrong with social media so long as you have the sense and self control not to quickly type rants about every little thing and quickly hit send.

I like the part where he tries to convince GLAAD that he's their friend.

When you follow it up with "I'd stick my foot up your ### but you'd probably enjoy it" that it gives a pretty good idea it was a shot at the sexual orientation.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious what he was going for there. There's a reason why celebrities have PR people to manage their image. And when they bypass those PR people, the results are often ungood.
