Hey I want to tell you something, okay, and I want to leave a message for you right now, cos again it's 10:30 her in New York on a Wednesday and once again, I have made an ass of myself trying to get to a phone to call you at a specific time. When the time comes for me to make the phone call, I stop whatever I'm doing and I go and I make that phone call at 11 o'clock in the morning in New York and if you don't pick up the phone at 10 o'clock at night and you don't even have that goddamn phone turned on.

I'm tired of playing this game with you. I'm leaving this message for you to tell you that you have insulted me for the last time. You have insulted me. You don't have the brains or the decency as a human being... I don't give a damn that you're 12 years old or 11 years old, or a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care about what you do as far as I'm concerned.

You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone and when I come out there next week. I'm going to fly out there for the day just to straighten you out on this issue. I'm going to let you know just how disappointed in you that I am and how angry I am with you that you've done this to me again.

You made me feel like sh!t and you've made me feel like a fool over and over and over again. And this crap you pull on me with this goddamn phone situation that you would never dream of doing to your mother and you do it to me constantly and over and over again. I am going to get on a plane and I am going to straighten your ass out when I see you.

Do you understand me? I am going to really make sure you get it. That I'm going to get on a plane and I'm gonna turn around and come home. So you better be ready Friday the 20th to meet with me. So I'm going to let you know how I feel, about what a rude little pig you really are. You are a rude thoughtless little pig. Okay?

A friend of Alec Baldwin's just contacted TMZ to say that the actor called Ireland last week and apologized for his outburst. The friend added that Ireland is the most important thing in the world to Alec and that he is frustrated because over the last six years, Kim has "tried everything" to alienate Ireland from him.

I'm okay with myself and the way I turned out. I didn't know you had it in you to be such a bitch.

From the story, the government has already done that.

Haven't you ever blew up when you shouldn't have or said something hurtful to someone you cared about and felt terrible about it afterwards?

I think the real tragedy is that we have technology today that allows us to pry into everybody's private lives and it's even more sad that most people have nothing better to do with thier lives than criticize, belittle and judge others, when not one person in this world is righteous. If you want to see an asshole, you don't have to go to far.... just look in the mirror. I'm not trying to insult you. If I want to see an asshole, all I have to do is get up and look at my own mirror.

I agree with almost everything you wrote. I certainly admit that I spend much time contemplating my inadequacies, and I am not one of those types with an over-inflated ego who can say or do no wrong, but I don't look in the mirror and see an a**hole. You do?...Really? I somehow doubt that. OK..yes Balwin lost it, everybody does, but I swear my father and mother never once cursed at me or my sister growing up, and they got divorced when I was 16 and so on and so on. I know that movies and tv have de-sensitized all of us to alot of this, but I think life for a child should not be an R-rated movie. I also agree with you that publishing and airing this is just as vile, or perhaps even more vile than the act itself. It's designed, for a recklessly indifferent profit, to feed our hunger for the purient and sordid aspects of life.

They're making a remake of Escape from New York too I hear. I'm not looking forward to that at all. Wasn't Escape from LA a remake of Escape from New York already?

I also don’t understand what exactly people are using to draw the conclusion that the child is a “brat.” Based on Baldwin’s fruitcakey comments? I don’t think that is sufficient to draw that conclusion. I don’t follow the celebrity stuff very closely, others may know more about this, but based on what I see here, there is no reason to assume that this child did anything wrong. Rather the evidence seems to suggest that Baldwin is an abusive father.

I don't personally see it as a big deal. It was probably just a personal conversation about a personal issue that has been taken out of context and blown up massively by the media. Only Alec Baldwin and his daughter know what actually happened and why he left that phone message. My dad has said heaps worse stuff to me my entire life, so maybe I'm just desensitised to this type of stuff.

Mal: If I'm not back in an hour, you come, and you rescue me.
Zoe: What? And risk my ship?
