I’m not sure who will win the Parent of the Year Award this year, but we can safely rule out Alec Baldwin.
 Emmy award-winning actor Alec Baldwin was taken to a hospital Thursday after his 14-year-old daughter called 911 saying he had threatened to take pills during an argument on the telephone, a law enforcement official said.
Baldwin’s daughter, Ireland, told authorities that she was worried about her father after he said, “I’m tired of this. I’m going to take some pills. I’m going to end this,” the official told The Associated Press, quoting from an official report on the matter.
Authorities came to the “30 Rock” star’s Central Park West apartment after his daughter called 911 at about 12:10 a.m. Thursday, the official said. The official wasn’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Ireland called authorities after the two ended their phone conversation and she couldn’t reach him again, the official said.
Baldwin, 51, was released from the hospital in an hour and took no alcohol or pills, spokesman Matthew Hiltzik said. “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,” Hiltzik said in a statement. “If there was a real problem or concern, he wouldn’t have been released from a hospital within an hour,” Hiltzik said later Thursday.
In 2008, Baldwin blamed a bitter custody battle with ex-wife Kim Basinger in part for the anger and frustration he was feeling when he berated their daughter in a phone message leaked earlier to the media.
In the message, Baldwin called Ireland a “rude, thoughtless little pig.” He was apparently upset that she had missed his phone call. Baldwin said he apologized to Ireland. He said the message was wrong and “horrified” him.
Truly a pathetic way to deal with a child. Baldwin is a fine actor but he’s rather hysterical and famous for idle threats. Back in 2004, he told a national television office that he’d leave the country if George W. Bush was re-elected; Bush was and Baldwin didn’t.

By now we all know that Katherine Heigl (who plays Izzie Stevens on Grey’s Anatomy) will be taking a five episode break from the show she has bitched about, so she can go shoot her new movie Life As We know It.
Because of this Yahoo have come up with a list of ten characters who need to follow suit and go take a break from their show.
10. Morgan (”Chuck”)
How long does Benihana training take? A couple months, right? Maybe by then we’ll start missing this little geek, because we’ve seen an awful lot of his dating life and his Buy More hi-jinks lately. Too much, in fact.
9. Topher (”Dollhouse”)
Topher seems to be one of those love him or hate him characters, and we’re in the latter camp on this one. Since they’ve established that there are other Dollhouse locations, and this one really could use an overhaul, we’d love it if he got a temporary transfer out of there.
8. Marshall (”How I Met Your Mother”)
Last season, Alyson Hannigan was out for awhile on maternity leave and the show truly suffered without her, especially since there was more focus than ever on Lily’s other half Marshall, and his work life. Now
we’re a little over him and could use some solo Lily time.
7. Tess (”Smallville”)
On a show about heroes and villains, it would be nice if the evildoers were actually … evil. Tess is too mild-mannered to really run LuthorCorp in the nefarious way that Lex or Lionel would have wanted, and with General Zod heading to town, letting Tess stick around is pretty much pointless.
6. Kenneth (”30 Rock”)
He’s adorable and appealing, but he’s also best in small doses — otherwise his limited shtick gets very old and very tired. Maybe Kenneth can take some time off to return home for a while and then find a way to come back with bizarre new stories to share.
5.Charlotte (”Private Practice”)
We were so happy when she got canned from her private practice at the end of last season that we’d love for her to take a little time off to do some soul-searching. And we’re sure that after this role, KaDee Strickland will have no problem landing a part in any rom-com as someone’s annoying wife.
4. Dwight (”The Office”)
The thing about Dwight is that, like Kenneth, he’s best in small doses, and lately we’ve been overloaded with his strange antics and even stranger romantic entanglements. We think he needs to spend more time in the marketing of his beet farm’s bed and breakfast.
3. Jenny Humphrey (”Gossip Girl”)
While all of the other characters are going to be in college, Jenny’s going to be stuck reigning as Queen of Constance Billard. What a letdown it’ll be for viewers to have to go from college life to a funky dressed Jenny still dealing with high school issues. Can’t she just do a semester or two abroad?
2. Thirteen (”House”)
If Olivia Wilde decided to go take a break and star in some ridiculous horror movie screaming her head off while, say, her character disappeared south of the border for some experimental Huntington’s treatment for a hunk of the season, it would be such a welcome change of pace.
1. Sylar (”Heroes”)
Sylar’s a great creepy villain, but we’re burned out on the character at this point. We’d be thrilled if his personality would stay buried deep within its current Nathan shell for a good part of the season. Let another villain do nefarious deeds for a while — after all, even Batman didn’t fight the Joker every single week.
I agree with almost every one of these apart from Jenny from Gossip Girl and of course Thirteen on House who is played by Olivia Wilde, if she went we wouldn’t get any hot photoshoots.
