Alec Baldwin Hosts Elle Women in Hollywood Awards

  Share

Alec Baldwin stole the show at the all women Elle Magazine 16th annual Women in Hollywood Awards. Baldwin had the ladies laughing during his entire bit, he said:

"I want to assure you that I didn’t steal this role from a more qualified woman. There was an audition process. The audition required me to move a couch, fall asleep in front of the TV, and open a particularly stubborn jar of pickles… If Tom Cruise would simply lower his quote by a mere $29 million, my salary would not make a difference. My annual salary is the budget for Altoids on one of Tom’s movies."

Alec poked fun at skinny actresses saying:

"Movie actresses are so skinny if I had a love scene I would crush them."

About Renee Zellweger he said:

"She is so tiny, but she’s got a big voice. I’ve been to parties with her and you can hear her voice anywhere, but you can’t understand a word she says."

No one was left spared:

"Tonight the job goes to Julie Andrews. You have three choices: You can follow Robert Pattinson into the men’s room, rush the stage during a Taylor Swift concert and tell her how great Henry Mancini is, or to publicize the Blu-Ray release of The Sound of Music, or you can release one of your own grandchildren in a balloon into the air."

Lindsay Lohan made an appearance, too, as the butt of a Baldwin joke about how DreamWorks executive Jeffrey Katzenberg is one of most powerful men in show business.

"Even more than Lindsay Lohan’s psychiatrist."

In case you’re wondering why Baldwin would take a job of hosting a women’s event, he will work anywhere he can earn a paycheck, even as a Fox News contributor, if they’d pay him for appearing.

Alec Baldwin Banned from the Philippines

alec baldwin banned from the philippines 1 Alec Baldwin Banned from the Philippines

Alec Baldwin always seems to let his mouth get him into trouble. After commenting about getting a mail-order bride from the Philippines, many from the Philippines expressed anger over the remarks. In response today Immigration Commissioner Marcelino Libanan issued the following response:

"By being in the bureau’s blacklist, Baldwin is forbidden from entering the country as he is deemed an undesirable alien."

The remark that drew the angry response came on May 12 when Baldwin commented on the David Letterman show:

"I think about getting a Filipino mail-order bride at this point or a Russian one, I don’t care, I’m 51."

Today Baldwin issued this apology today:

"While on the David Letterman program, I joked that I might need a ’ mail-order bride ’ to achieve the goal of having more children in my life. I believe that most people understood that this was a joke and took it as such. (A dated reference, no doubt, and another sign of my advancing age.) However, I do apologize to anyone who took offense. The comments of some Philippine government officials come as no surprise to me, either. Even the one by a former action film star-turned-Senator who beckoned me to come to the Philippines so he could ’beat’ me over my comment."

Libanan said Baldwin appeared to condone the mail-order bride scheme, which is a criminal act prohibited and punishable under Republic Act 6955. Libanan did not address or comment on the increasingly popular trend of Filipino women marrying, usually Caucasian, American men to get a marriage visa to come to the United States.

Despite the fact that Baldwin also mentioned a Russian mail-order bride, there has been no response at all from the Russian government, which probably reflects their understanding that it was meant as a joke. The Philippine government, and offended citizens, might learn from the Russian example.

As Abraham Lincoln once said:

“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt.”

Alec Baldwin Angers the Philippines

  Share

Alec Baldwin was on the Late Show with David Letterman, where he was asked if he wanted to have more children, to which Alec said:

"I’m thinking about getting a Filipino mail-order bride at this point…or a Russian one."

To which an angry Philippine Senator Ramon Ravilla said was an "arrogant" remark, and was "insensitive and uncalled for," and insulted millions of his fellow citizens. Ravilla says Baldwin’s words have elicited an angry nationwide response, and that the actor better keep his distance. Ravilla added:

"Let him try to come to the Philippines and he’ll see mayhem."

Maybe Ravilla should open his eyes. Filipinas want a better life, so they do whatever they can to come to America. Two popular ways filipinas get a visa is by either becoming a nurse, or getting married to an American, usually a Caucasian guy. Rather than attacking Baldwin for an obvious joke, maybe Ravilla should work a little harder to make life better in the Philippines so Filipinas won’t want to leave.

Alec Baldwin Mocks Joaquin Phoenix on Conan O’Brien

  Share

On Conan O’Brien Thursday, Alec Baldwin imitated the bizarre interview Joaquin Phoenix did on David Letterman.

We’re not so much into making fun of Joaquin, and more concerned that he’ll be okay. We are hoping Joaquin is only acting for the "documentary" he’s filming.

Alec Baldwin Wii Skit on SNL

  Share

Alec Baldwin did a master Wii skit on Saturday Night Live.

This skit should give Nintendo ideas for some new games, if their engineers aren’t already playing those games at home.
