Alec Baldwin Says His Talk Show Might Not Return

 

Under-siege actor Alec Baldwin has penned a lengthy earnest-sounding column for The Huffington Post detailing his perspective on his recent actions and subsequent media controversy that resulted in MSNBC yanking his talk show off the air.

Following his apparent use of an anti-gay slur against a photographer, the cable news network suspended Up Late on Friday for two weeks. Baldwin addressed…

–  Whether his show will return: “Whether the show comes back at all is at issue right now … The show is no doubt a work in progress and one that I believe featured some interesting guests and disseminated a good deal of interesting information. But if the show dies, its fate ends up being no different than the vast majority of start-up TV programming, and so be it.”

– His apparent use of an anti-gay slur: “I never used the word [f----t] in the tape recording being offered as evidence against me. What word is said right after the other choice word I use is unclear. But I can assure you, with complete confidence, that a direct homophobic slur (or indirect one for that matter) is not spoken … My friends who happen to be gay are baffled by this.”

Cops Called On Justin Bieber For Disturbing The Peace

Justin Bieber threw a rager last night and the neighbor with whom he has been at war called the police 3 times ... souces have confirmed.

Justin hosted a wild party at his Calabasas home for approximately 100 people including Snoop Lion. Apparently the noise was too much for some of the residents and cops were called at around 1 am.

We're told the L.A. County Sheriff's Deputies spoke to someone inside, told them to keep the noise down and left.

The noise didn't stop. At around 3 am Justin's next door neighbor -- the guy who Justin allegedly spit on during a prior altercation -- called again and deputies came out a second time. When the cops came out again, they told the neighbor that they smelled marijuana inside but left without arresting anyone.

At 5:30 am the neighbor couldn't take it anymore ... deputies came out a third time and he filed a police report against Justin for disturbing the peace.

The cops will write a full report and then decide whether to send it on the L.A. County DA for possible prosecution.

MSNBC Suspends Alec Baldwin's Late Night Show

Alec Baldwin has one less place to rant ... MSNBC suspended the actor from his talk show for hurling homophobic slurs -- and he's finally admitting what he said was "offensive."

Baldwin released a statement saying ... "I did not intend to hurt or offend anyone with my choice of words, but clearly I have – and for that I am deeply sorry."

Baldwin's issued his apology after MSNBC announced it was yanking his weekly show off the air for the next 2 weeks.

Alec seems to be rationalizing his rage though, saying ... "What I said and did this week, as I was trying to protect my family, was offensive and unacceptable."

Baldwin originally claimed he yelled, "c**ksucking fathead" ... instead of "c**ksucking f*g" ... while chasing a photographer on Thursday.

In his apology Baldwin concedes, "Words are important. I understand that, and will choose mine with great care going forward. Behavior like this undermines hard-fought rights that I vigorously support."

Sarah Silverman Brings Ex Jimmy Kimmel a Box of His Old Stuff On ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

Running into an ex can be pretty awkward and uncomfortable, but when Sarah Silverman dropped by "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Thursday night to promote her HBO comedy special, "We Are Miracles," the funny exes proved that a little humor goes a long way.

"Isn't this like weird, but good weird? This is human nature. This is the way life is," Silverman said. "People break up, and exes are gonna bump into each other. They're gonna cross paths. They're gonna be on each other's talk shows, you know? It's the cycle of life."
"It's very natural," Kimmel laughed.

Silverman kicked off the interview by bringing out a box labeled "Jimmy's Stuff" that included some old socks, an old phone charger, a pair of jeans from before Kimmel lost weight, and a fake love child! But this isn't the first time Silverman has stopped by the show since their breakup.

Alec Baldwin Shoves 'Post' Reporter In New York City

Alec Baldwin does NOT like the media attention he's getting these days!

The temperamental actor shoved a reporter outside his New York apartment today, knocked his phone to the ground and mocked him when the reporter yelled, "You assaulted me!"

Baldwin was embroiled in a dramatic courtroom battle against an alleged stalker who claims she had an affair with the cable talk show host. A judge ruled this week that Genevieve Sabourin will spend seven months behind bars -- 180 for the stalking charge and 30 days for acting up in court.

The French-Canadian woman reportedly told friends she thinks the prison sentence will "help her career."

Baldwin wasn't in the courtroom this morning when the decision was handed down -- he was busy picking on a reporter who was waiting outside his apartment to get a statement about Sabourin's sentence.

Alec has a history of getting feisty with photogs ... yesterday he hurled homophobic slurs at a paparazzo; back in June Baldwin was accused of punching a New York Daily News photographer in front of the Manhattan Civil Courthouse after he and then-fiancee Hilaria Thomas applied for a marriage license.

Will Baldwin's antics today land him back in court on an assault charge? We'll wait and see ...

Terrence Howard Blames Robert Downey Jr. For Getting Him Fired From 'Iron Man 2'

Terrence Howard certainly hasn't been quiet about his removal from the Marvel-verse and "Iron Man" series after the first hit film. Earlier this year he took a swipe at the comic studio for their dealmaking, in which actors sign for multiple pictures, but Marvel has the ultimate say on whether or not they'll use them again. "...I didn't know it wasn't a mutually binding contract; it was only beneficial for them and they could bring me back or not. They can honor it or not,” he said about why he was replaced by Don Cheadle in "Iron Man 2," where he was supposed to earn $8 million, an increase from the $4.5 million he took home for the first movie. But now he also points a finger at Robert Downey Jr., who he says suggested him for the superhero job in the first place.

"It turns out that the person that I helped become Iron Man, when it was time to re-up for the second one, took the money that was supposed to go to me and pushed me out," Howard said on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live."

Charlie Sheen Reportedly Trying To Sell Mansion He Bought For Ex Brooke Mueller

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Charlie Sheen is reportedly trying to unload the Beverly Hills mansion he bought for ex-wife Brooke Mueller and their twin boys, Bob and Max.

The home was purchased in 2012 for $4.8 million, and Charlie also bought a pad for his other ex-wife Denise Richards in 2011 for $6.9 million so they could all be closer together in the gated Mulholland Estates community. Though Denise initially declined his offer, she's since moved in to the 9,000-square-foot home, which is right around the corner from Charlie's nearly 8,000-square-foot home, which he bought in 2006 for $7.2 million.

Brooke's soon-to-be former mansion has five bedrooms, six bathrooms and 6,625-square-feet of living space, and it sits on a .84 acre lot. The Spanish-style home was built in 1991, and it features exposed beam ceilings, sautillo tile, wrought iron fixtures, French doors and archways throughout. Outside there is a large pool/spa and a built-in BBQ with plenty of yard space.

Simon Cowell Has To Stay Away From Lauren Silverman's Son As Part Of Divorce Settlement

Simon Cowell's baby mama Lauren Silverman has finalized her divorce from ex-husband Andrew Silverman, and there are a handful of very interesting terms in their settlement agreement. And not just money matters ... very personal things that were clearly major points of contention when the two split earlier this year following the news that she was carrying Simon's baby.

For starters, if Simon goes near Lauren's 7-year-old son Adam, she has to pay her ex-hubby a $50,000 penalty, and if that clause is violated more than three times, Lauren loses all contact with her son until a court addresses with the violations. That clause only lasts until January 2015, but still!

And while that seems to be Andrew's way of making things difficult for his ex-wife, it looks like her legal team was able to throw in a few jabs. TMZ reports that per the agreement, Andrew "cannot trash Simon to Adam and has a legal obligation to make sure no one else around him talks smack." While Simon will clearly be taking care of Lauren as she's carrying his child, Andrew will still be paying his ex-wife $3,000 a month in child support.

And there's yet another clause in the documents that Lauren and Andrew both agree that Adam will not call anyone else (read: Simon) "mother" or "father," but we can't imagine that would really be a problem. And finally, to sweeten things up a bit, Lauren and Andrew agreed to change the cause of divorce from adultery to "broken down irretrievably."

Alec Baldwin's Stalker Is GUILTY

The woman with a pathological obsession for Alec Baldwin has been found GUILTY of stalking and harassing him.

Genevieve Sabourin broke down in tears and sobbed ... as the judge handed down his decision, sentencing her to 210 days in jail.

Sabourin was on trial for 5 counts of stalking and harassment ... after years of proclaiming her love for Baldwin in scores of messages.  She was arrested ... after showing up at his NYC apartment building in April 2012.

She made numerous outbursts during the trial -- including claims she slept with Baldwin -- which he denied.

Sabourin's sentence -- 210 days -- includes a 30 day sentence for contempt because of her outbursts in court.

Weinstein Company Wins Appeal To Change 'Philomena' Rating To PG-13

The Motion Picture Association of American originally gave the new Stephen Frears-directed film Philomena, starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan, an R rating because more than one “harsher, sexually-derived word” was used as an expletive in the film. The Weinstein Company, which produced the film, argued the rating should be changed to PG-13 based on the subject matter and context.

“We felt the MPAA had made the wrong decision in handing the film, which has no violence or lewd material and the bare minimum of adult language, an ‘R’ rating,” said Frears. “I am overjoyed they’ve changed their ruling in order to give families like mine an opportunity to see this film together. Now we can let the whole world see it.”

Dench and Coogan made videos parodying Dench’s iconic James Bond character M, to get the rating changed. Coogan, who also co-wrote the film, was on hand at the MPAA hearing in Los Angeles today to speak on the film’s behalf.

Chris Elliott Got Naked On Jimmy Kimmel's Desk Last Night

Alec Baldwin Sobs On Witness Stand In Stalker Case

Alec Baldwin broke down on the stand this morning -- facing his alleged stalker and crying on the stand in an explosive series of exchanges over the nature of their relationship.

Genevieve Sabourin is on trial for stalking and harassment.  She has incessantly tweeted and emailed Alec, shown up at his home and harassed his wife. Sabourin claims she met Baldwin in 2002, had dinner in 2010 and she claims they slept together -- Baldwin denies anything sexual ever occurred.

Although tears flowed during Baldwin's testimony, some spectators in the courtroom felt it was not authentic.  Nonetheless, Baldwin painted a picture of a woman who imposed her obsession on him and his wife, making their lives miserable.

Sabourin repeatedly shouted at Baldwin as he testified, challenging him. When Baldwin said he never had sex with her, she fired back, "REALLY?!??!"

She also loudly accused Baldwin of having a "lying disease," as he walked through the tale of alleged harassment.

On his way out, Baldwin was in typical form, telling reporters, "I hope you choke to death."

The trial is continuing.

Elizabeth Berkley ELIMINATED From "Dancing with the Stars"

"Dancing with the Stars" eliminated a frontrunner this week. Audience at the studio and viewers at home were once again stunned when Elizabeth Berkley was booted out of the competition despite never being in jeopardy before.

"I'm sad," she admitted. "There were more things we wanted to do. But I'm, honestly, beyond grateful for this. ... I want to thank everyone, especially Val." The former "Saved By the Bell actress added, "I've learned so much, obviously dance, but (also) growth as a human being and partnership."

Elizabeth's elimination was shocking, since she's one of the best dancers on Monday night, November 11. She danced a Viennese waltz for her first individual routine with her partner Val Chmerovskiy. Bruno Tonioli commented, "This week you hit it," as the judges gave her 26 points.

Charlie Sheen Wants To Work With Chuck Lorre Again

Is one of Hollywood's nastiest feuds over? Maybe... if we're judging by Charlie Sheen's Twitter.

The "Anger Management" star reached out to his former "Two and a Half Men" boss Chuck Lorre with a tweet on Sunday, apparently to pitch an idea the two might work on together: 

And yes, that's a picture of the 2007 People's Choice Award for Favorite TV Comedy that Sheen and Lorre won for "Two and a Half Men."

Matt Lauer and Sarah Palin Get Into Heated Exchange Over Obamacare

To watch Matt Lauer and Sarah Palin try to discuss health care on Monday's "Today" was to watch two entirely separate conversations awkwardly meet in the middle.

When Lauer told Palin that the Tea Party was really into repealing Obamacare, she was very into that. "Right on!" she cried.

When he asked about what the Tea Party alternative to Obamacare was, Palin looked him straight in the eye and answered an entirely different question. "And it's not just the independent grassroots Tea Party movement saying this!" she said.

"But where's the plan from the Tea Party?" Lauer beseeched, his increasingly scraggly beard lending him the air of a reproachful professor.

"Especially Democrats running for re-election," Palin continued (she had been talking the whole time). She finally ran out of steam and answered the actual question.

Ben Affleck Pays $60 For Cup of Starbucks Coffee

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Ben Affleck needs his morning coffee -- HE NEEDS IT -- and this week, he proved he's willing to take on a $58 parking ticket to get his hands on a quick shot of the dark stuff.

Affleck and his wife Jennifer Garner rolled up to a Starbucks in Brentwood this week -- but couldn't find a spot to park ... so they risked it and put their Lexus in a yellow zone.

Everybody knows .. the yellow zone is for loading and unloading only, 5 minutes max. But the Affleck's went long ... and a vigilant parking enforcement officer slapped the car with a $58 ticket.

But did the Affleck's care? Nope ... 'cause when you're rich and you're jonesing for caffeine, you'd probably pay a helluva lot more than that.

Protesters Pound ABC Studios, Call For Jimmy Kimmel's Firing

Jimmy Kimmel is in hot water!

On Saturday, hundreds of protesters targeted ABC Studios to protest the Oct. 16 segment of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" where one of the late night host's tiniest guests suggested that we should "kill everyone in China." 

The comment was made by a young boy during an unscripted segment called "Kids' Table," after Kimmel asked a roundtable of children how the United States should repay its $1.3 trillion debt to China. Both ABC and Kimmel have since apologized for the comment, and are no longer airing "Kids' Table."

ABC said at the time, "We offer our sincere apology. We would never purposefully broadcast anything to upset the Chinese community, Asian community, anyone of Chinese descent, or any community at large. Our objective is to entertain." Kimmel added, "I just want to say I am sorry. I apologize. It was certainly not my intent to upset anyone."

However, Chinese-American groups and protesters refuse to accept the apology. ABC Studios has not responded to Yahoo TV's request for comment regarding the protests.

According to a Burbank Police Department spokesperson, crowds "swelled up to 1,500 protestors" at the 2300 block of Riverside Drive after some demonstrators went into a restricted area near ABC Studios at 9:30 a.m. By 11 a.m., Burbank police had responded to the scene, but no arrests were made. By 12:30 p.m., the crowds had dispersed.

Tom Cruise Admits That Some of His Movies Are BAD

Tom Cruise fessed up during his deposition in his defamation case -- some of his movies should have gone straight to DVD -- or into the trash can.

The lawyer for the magazine he's suing asked Cruise about the actor flying to a Scientology event while he was shooting a movie. Cruise testified at the time he was shooting "One Shot" in Pittsburgh.

The attorney admitted confusion, saying he had never heard of the film and was surprised the studio would "throw away one of your films." 

Cruise then admitted, "They should. They should throw away a few of them."

By the way, "One Shot" was retitled "Jack Reacher," which grossed $80 million domestically.

‘Thor: The Dark World’ Thunders to $86 Million Box-Office Opening

“Thor: The Dark World” brought down the hammer this weekend, thundering to No. 1 at the U.S. box office with a estimated $86 million.

Disney’s Marvel superhero sequel rode the wave of momentum from last year’s “The Avengers” – as “Iron Man 3” did earlier this year – to the year’s fourth-biggest opening. It didn’t match the U.S. debuts of those two Marvel films, the biggest-ever at $207 million and $174 million respectively, but the $170 million 3D epic blew past the first weekend of the pre-“Avengers” original “Thor.”
