Tomorrow On “The View”: A Yenta

Last week, the infamous voicemail message from Alec Baldwin to his 12-year-old daughter (the one where he calls her a “rude, thoughtless little pig”) leaked all over the internet. Here on the blog, we debated a bit the media frenzy surrounding the whole incident. As was evidenced with Anna Nicole Smith, the media has a penchant for going too far in the realm of exploitation of celebrities’ personal lives, but who pays the ultimate toll?
Well, this time it would appear to be Alec Baldwin’s acting career. Baldwin was making pretty serious strides in his career, what with “The Departed” and “The Good Shepherd.” He’s proven that not only is he adept at playing the serious dramatic thespian every actor aims to be, but he’s a damn funny guy and a critical asset to “30 Rock.”
So it’s a sad day today for a couple reasons. First off, I’m really tired and dragging at like 9 AM. I realize not many of you care about that too much. But secondly, my friend took a big exam and thinks she failed. Also, bad. I feel very sad for her. But third, the only other show besides “The Office” on the NBC Thursday line-up I liked (”30 Rock”) might have go on without the presence of Alec Baldwin’s Jack Donaghy.
In what’s sure to be the nail on Alec’s career coffin, tomorrow on “The View” he will publicly apologize to his daughter (Huh? Ever heard of a phone, Alec?) and make mention of how he wants to be released from his “30 Rock” contract. “No can do,” says NBC.
Talk is already circulating that Alec would be the perfect Rosie replacement when she leaves “The View” in June. Double Huh? That’s a definitive flush down the can for Baldwin’s acting career.
One thing’s clear from all this. Baldwin needs to fire his publicist STAT. Clearly whoever that person may be is blowing some heavy crack. And I’m not talking all the steam that’s blowing out of Tiny Fey’s head right about now.
Jimmy Fallon anyone? Ugh, perish the thought!
