(Smart) Alec Baldwin Rushed to hospital, blames ex-wife, Kim, for making it a "media circus"
N/.Y. Daily News ^ | 2.11.10 | By Jonathan Lemire, George Rush and Corky Siemaszko

Emmy-winning actor Alec Baldwin's defenders blamed his ex, Kim Basinger, for ramping up the drama after an early morning 911 call by his daughter resulted in the "30 Rock" star being rushed to a Manhattan hospital.

"This is another example of Kim's sickness," a buddy of Baldwin's told The Daily News. "Alec came back from the hospital and there were cameras outside his house at 2 a.m. Gee, I wonder how they found out?"

Basinger, the buddy said, is jealous that Baldwin is co-hosting the Academy Awards next month and is using their daughter, Ireland, to rain on his parade.

"She's not not going to let that go by," the pal said.

There was no immediate response from Basinger's side, but her divorce from Baldwin has been a Hollywood horror show from the start and left their daughter torn between two parents who appear to hate each other.

Baldwin was transported by a Lenox Hill Hospital ambulance crew to the hospital at 12:55 a.m. after 14-year-old Ireland told a dispatcher he was "unresponsive," sources said.

Baldwin is a nut but his ex is way way nuttier. He was a good actor and I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if he winds up conservative before all is said and done. He has one brother I know for a fact is working on him.
Hope Alec recovers soon...prayers for the family.

I’m surprised he didn’t also blame Bush.

NO! They aren't really doing that, are they?

I won't be able to watch it if they do, and I LOVE old movies.

First I’ve heard of this, but my money would be on “passed out drunk” rather than OD. Alec has that bloated look of a hard drinker these days.

I hate the guy’s politics, but I have to admit I love him in 30 Rock.

All I’m going to say is . . . .

it takes two.

Clear case of both parent’s being at fault.

And, it takes as much heart to hate as it does to love. They ain’t over each other !

Just heard on Fox that he was “responsive” and agreed to go to the hospital. Didn’t stay long. So I doubt he was *that* drunk.

Wish I could remember where I heard that. I've been trying to google it, but no luck. Might have just been one of the gossipy blurbs somewhere on the tube while channel surfing, but I remember my wife & I shaking our heads in disbelief.

Yes agreed. When remembering John Donne, who has said "When the bell tolls it tolls for thee" or near enough to it, I think on the sadness of people who appear to "have every thing".

I know Baldwin has a knack of absolutely turning people off and deserves some inner turmoil. Still, surely there is room for a recovered silly liberal in the conservative ranks.

Such a person then goes after liberals twice as much as most conservatives. Lastly, I hate to see a family destroyed. (sermon over).

In Tinseltown, any press is good press. Did they fail to mention Alec’s co-hosting the Oscars? Gotta watch now to see if Baldwin show’s up sober. /s

Is the daughter the one he called all those nasty names a few years ago? If so, he’s lucky she knew her duty was to call 911 immediately and then begin CPR rather than vice versa.

Well I know he does that "Essentials" thing on Sunday evening, but that's tolerable. If he does every movie, I just may have to shut my eyes and mute the TV when he's on.........like I do with Obama. :)

I like the info in those little before and after the movie talks Osborne gives though, so I'll be very disappointed if Alec takes his place.

There must be someone else!

If you ever find out for sure, and think about it, let me know so I can prepare myself, OK?
