Alec Baldwin was taken to the hospital this morning after being found unresponsive in bed by his 14-year old daughter Ireland. Although initial reports suggested that booze and/or pills were involved, those rumors have since been dismissed.
Baldwin was released within an hour and his rep released the following statement:
“This was a misunderstanding on one person’s part. Alec was quickly released from the hospital, he’s completely fine and will be at work today. If there was a real problem, he wouldn’t have been released within an hour.”
OK, so the “one person” with the “misunderstanding” is clearly Ireland, who you may remember from this leaked voicemail from a few years ago. Are we to believe that Ireland doesn’t know the difference between an unconscious person and her sleeping father? Is it possible that Alec had been drinking or using drugs before Ireland called the police or do we think perhaps this is just her idea of some teenage drama?
Can’t believe there’s not a post about Alexander McQueens death…
Keep your skirt on sister.
My bad, spoke too soon – thanks molls
Of course his daughter knows the difference.
I’m amazed he wasn’t put on a 72 hour hold as a danger to self. His attorney must have pulled some heavy strings – or his p.r. person or both.
Realeased after an hour? To where? A private medical clinic?
I highly doubt he’ll show up at work today, no matter what has been published to that effect.
If he took enough pills/drank enough to be unrespsonsive, he isn’t going to be functioning. He’ll be sleeping.
He threatened to take pills, then she found him unresponsive. She was so scared that she called 911.
He is such a bad father.
completely unrelated side note: that girl is beautiful.
I think she looks a bit like Liv Tyler.
She’s gorgeous. Looks like her mom.
Maybe he was just really hung over? I hate defending him, but maybe it was fairly innocent considering he was released and back at work so quickly.
You know what the true tragedy is in all of this? That he didn’t take the pills afterall.
I know he’s a dink but I’d be pretty upset if he did really take the pills — 30 Rock is one of my favorite shows and I don’t want to picture it without Jackie D.
Yeah, hate to harsh your TeeeeeVeeeee with shit hapn’ in real life.
She’s just trying to even the score for that loud-mouth, fat fuck hanging the moniker “Ireland” around her neck. Go “Mickey.”
