I know it "comes with the territory" of being a Hollywood celebrity. But despite my disdain for the whole Hollywood cult, I tend to empathize with those who are constantly badgered by these TMZ-tabloid-paparazzi types. Let 'em be, for chrissakes.

But I do smile when an openly die-hard liberal Democrat, who spends a decent amount of time railing against the "right wing," is caught so often in the middle of anti-gay controversies.

I still love Alec in Glengarry Glen Ross though. Classic.

If anything, this is proof that just throwing around a few words doesn't mean they express your entire social philosophy, which means I don't think Baldwin hates gays, but cuss words sure come in handy at times.

As for the rest of the story, I don't blame Baldwin for getting upset with the idiots who worship his life over their own. And I don't think it comes with the territory - can we invade the lives of other groups just because it comes with the territory?

There is no right to privacy in public. Baldwin needs to be reminded of this simple fact. My suggestion to him would be to take the Howard Stern approach. Be nice...engage them..take the chase out of the equation. Then they will be more cooperative when it comes to your wife an kids. Stern used to talk about this all the time and often said celbs were stupid for the way they handled the camera guys.

Every photographer extant knows Baldwin doesn't like his family hounded by picture hounds and they continue to do it anyway. They don't have respect for the man so I don't blame him for not showing respect for them. What they do to him is borderline stalking.

Edit: and if a squabble breaks out, the photographer typically sues for tremendous emotional distress and physical pain. Fk the photographers.

Biting you nose off to spite you face....my dad always said...is a foolish way to approach any situation. In the end...you just make it harder on yourself. Sometimes you just need to count to 10 before you speak or act. Baldwin goes off at 2.
