He's perfect for msnbc.

I could never stomach Baldwin; wanted to watch Thirty Rock 'cuz it got such good reviews, but couldn't make it half way into even one episode because of him. Never considered him anything but untalented and not very bright, which just proves there are people like that on both sides.

Remember when Ann Coulter called John Edwards a "faggot", and she was immediately fired and hasn't appeared on Fox ever since?


Yeah, neither do I.

The Alec Baldwin public meltdown 2013 continues.

He got in hot water Thursday for allegedly using an anti-gay slur against a member of the paparazzi, after chasing another pap down the street and yelling at him. That incident made national headlines and caused the 55-year-old actor to claim he was misunderstood and was anything but homophobic after being called out for continuing to use anti-gay slurs from everyone from Anderson Cooper to GLAAD.

So you’d think he’d want to lay low Friday and stay out of the headlines. Well, he’s done the opposite.

He’s had a morning filled with bizarre encounters with the media. First he shoved paparazzi while walking to get a haircut. Then he appeared friendly and cooperative to the same paparazzi after his trim by posing with his gay hairdresser and having him attest that he’s not homophobic (it was as awkward as it sounds). Then he verbally threatened a reporter from the local NYC Fox affiliate WNYW when entering his apartment (the reporter was there to inquire about the gay slurs story). The actor walked up to Fox 5 reporter Robert Moses and warned him to leave the sidewalk in front of his building.

Now he’s gotten into a screaming fit with another local TV news reporter. When leaving his apartment with his wife Hilaria, she points to a female reporter and said “that’s the one that almost hit me.” Apparently Hilaria believed that Fox5 NY’s Lindsa Schmidt almost hit her with her microphone Thursday. Alec then went OFF on the reporter, screaming at her and saying he was going to press assault charges against her. "I asked you a question: You want to apologize to her?" he yelled. He then told a uniformed cop that he wanted to press charges against "that blonde." The cops tried to calm him down to no avail and he and Hilaria eventually drove away.

What isn't funny is that they fired Uncle Pat B. for less.

Well, don't fall over, but we agree yet again. About Penn as well.

As to "So, what's the breaking point ? When does a person's views or actions tip the scale, from making them watchable, despite how you feel about them personally, to out right avoiding anything they're in, or do ?"

I think it depends on the individual, their views, and a whole bunch of other things involving only the audience member. I simply won't WATCH anything by Mel Gibson anymore, merely because his movies became so damned graphically violent and ugly that I just didn't enjoy them, so I pretty much know if it's Gibson, why bother? (Helps he's made such an ass of himself, admittedly.) Never did think he had talent, just made entertaining movies; that stopped long ago. I respected what Costner did in Dances and Bodyguard immensely, still love, own and re-watch Bull Durham, Dragonfly (subject matter, not Costner), and Untouchables, but since Waterworld, his ego now puts me off so badly, I'd not be inclined to watch anything starring him. I will NEVER watch ANYTHING with Tom Cruise in it again because of the combination of ego/insanity and just plain lack of talent. I also gave up on Harrison Ford, who I used to admire, because he just seemed to start phoning it in for the bucks and it wasn't entertaining. So it's all subjective, IMHO.
