Alec Baldwin has sold his longtime Upper West Side apartment in order to move downtown place with yoga instructor love Hilaria Thomas.
The New York Post was first to report the news that Baldwin, 53, sold his swank 300 Central Park West apartment at Eldorado — the pad was listed at $9.5 million — and has purchased a SoHo apartment close to 27-year-old Thomas’ yoga studio.
The Post added that Baldwin “sees marriage in the near future.”
Having divorced from Kim Basinger in 2001, Baldwin commented last year, “what’s worse than waking up with a 25-year-old woman, you know what I mean? You want to go shoot yourself because you have nothing to say to her. Seriously.”
Thomas has certainly changed his opinion.
Baldwin told the New York Times earlier this month that he was planning on moving in with Thomas even though he loves his old uptown neighborhood. “It is more real. There’s old people, it’s ethnic and it’s economically mixed.”

18. Eva Green
17. Ava Gardner
16. Greta Garbo
15. Farrah Fawcett
14. Faye Dunaway

With all the celebrity couples breaking up this year, Mama Pop have come up with a list of what celebrities could actually work out if they hooked up together.
1. Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan
These two make the perfect pair. They have a lot in common. They both have a love of the drugs. They both know their lawyers very well. They have both been to rehab several times. When they get out of rehab, they both go back to doing the same things that put them into jail and rehab. Why not just join forces?
2. Madonna and Tiger Woods
There are a lot of cheaters in the celebrity world, a lot. But somehow, I feel as if Madonna, who supposedly cheated on Guy Ritchie with A-Rod, might be able to tame this Tiger a little.
3. Erykah Badu and Lenny Kravitz
These two would make an ideal couple for a lot of reasons. They are beautiful. They are musical legends. They have dreadlocks. They are fashion icons. Who wouldn’t want to see these two hook up? I know I do.
4. Kim Basinger and Matthew McConaughey
These two seem an unlikely pair. However, they both have irrational fears. This gives them something in common. Kim has a fear of open spaces. Matthew has a fear of tunnels and revolving doors. This commonality, I believe would make a great first date conversation and thus, the beginnings of a wonderful relationship.
5. Demi Lovato and Lance Armstrong
I know. Right now, you’re thinking, “Why are you putting these two together?” They are two of the most followed and searched for celebrities on Twitter. This would be a great couple because they would be able to tweet their love to each other. (Don’t worry, she’s 18 and he did date an Olson twin.)
6. Taylor Swift and um… nobody
She keeps writing songs about her breakups. And she said on her next album that she’s naming names. Seriously. Stop her. She’s too young to be so bitter. It doesn’t look good on her.
I would add Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf to this list, just because they were perfect in Transformers. Any celebrities you think should hook up?

When you put a bunch of Hollywood stars together in a movie there is bound to be some egos clashing, most of the time they all get on with it and act professionally or the studio keeps it under wraps. This is not always the case, here is the biggest fights and feuds that have happened on-set of a movie.
Lily Tomlin vs. David O. Russell, “I Heart Huckabeesâ€
After watching Tomlin’s sour attitude and director Russell’s epic freakouts on the set of “I Heart Huckabees,” it’s hard to tell which person started the downward slide. Was it Tomlin, whose impatience with all the changes Russell was suggesting seemed to indicate she was having a senior moment and couldn’t keep up? Or was it Russell, who might have written a more solid script to begin with and maybe should’ve thought twice before calling his leading lady a bitch or a c*** in front of the cast and crew. Pity poor Jason Schwartzman, Dustin Hoffman, Isabelle Huppert and especially the cringing, giggling Naomi Watts, who had to sit there as the abuse flew perilously close to their heads. But hooray for whoever caught this dysfunctional mess on tape. It’s infinitely more gripping than the movie.
George Clooney vs. David O. Russell, “Three Kingsâ€
Russell has a hard time pleading that what happened with Tomlin wasn’t like him, since five years earlier he got into a feud with Clooney on the set of the Gulf War satire “Three Kings” that led to Clooney punching his lights out. In fairness to Russell, he told Clooney to punch him. In fairness to Clooney, Russell was picking on the little people on the set – an extra here, a driver there – and Clooney got so tired of it, he wrote Russell an angry letter and then took to giving him a piece of his mind directly in front of his face. We think that second assistant director Paul F. Bernard had the right idea – he walked off the set when he witnessed this nonsense, quitting his job on the spot. But Ice Cube, who played a soldier alongside Clooney, said the on-set conflict gave the final scenes of the film extra juice and he “wouldn’t mind if the director and the star got into an argument on all of my movies.” Yeah, but Cube’s from South Central Los Angeles, so “Conflict” is his middle name. We’re just sorry no one caught this sandbox quarrel on tape and made a disco remix out of it.
Christian Bale vs. Shane Hurlbut, “Terminator Salvationâ€
“What don’t you f***ing understand, Shane?” Don’t you know it’s unconscionable for a Director of Photography to walk where an actor can – gasp! – see him? Even if said Director of Photography was just doing his job, fiddling with some lights, setting up a shot? Bale was concentrating really, really hard on filming a scene in “Terminator Salvation” when unlucky Hurlbut got in the way and got a four-minute, expletive-heavy earful about what a horrible person he was and how he needed to be fired, that instant. Lucky for us, someone taped it. Even luckier, someone else turned the rant into an awesome disco remix. Bale’s career has yet to recover – surely no one’s thinking of hiring him for a romantic comedy or to play a hapless single dad anytime soon. Although, Bale is next set to star in “The Fighter” directed by (wait for it) David O. Russell. Maybe they should shorten the title by a couple of letters and call it a day.
Kim Cattrall vs. Sarah Jessica Parker, “Sex and the Cityâ€
Reports of on-set bitchiness between Cattrall and Parker are so frequent, there’s got to be some truth to them, right? During production of the movie sequel spun from the hit HBO series, “sources” were busy telling sites like icelebz.com and snarkerati.com that “while the cast is all smiles on the outside, the level of dislike is unbelievable,” making “co-stars Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis dread coming into work.” One site claims Cattrall’s irritability over her recent break-up with her younger chef lover means she’s “taking every chance to snipe.” Another says Parker was overwhelmed having to care for her newborn twins and was “too busy to comfort Kim or worry about her problems at the moment.” Both ladies officially scoff at these reports. Parker said to Elle magazine recently that “I don’t think anybody wants to believe that I love Kim. I adore her. I wouldn’t have done the movie without her. Didn’t and wouldn’t.” She should’ve added “couldn’t,” seeing as Cattrall is one of the core four, after all. Cattrall has always wielded her power mercenarily, using it to demand higher pay and to confirm the sequel before Parker could. If only they’d bring this catfight onto the big screen – that might make the sequel worth watching. Barely.
Sean Young vs. Darryl Hannah, Charlie Sheen and Oliver Stone, “Wall Streetâ€
Before Sean Young made an idiot of herself showing up on a studio lot in a Catwoman outfit to beg for a part in the next “Batman” movie, she made herself into a pariah by suggesting that she should get another actress’s role… while that actress was filming it. It was on the set of Oliver Stone’s “Wall Street” that Darryl Hannah was allegedly struggling to play Charlie Sheen’s materialistic girlfriend. Stone later admitted “Hannah was not happy doing the role and I should have let her go. All my crew wanted to get rid of her after one day of shooting. My pride was such that I kept saying I was going to make it work.” Young, who had the smaller role of Michael Douglas’s wife, had no interest in making things work: she told Stone to fire Hannah and give her the plum part instead. Sheen protested Young’s antics in grade four fashion – he taped a note to her back that read “I am a c***.” Young paraded around with that sign for hours before noticing. Stone also got so fed up with Young that he wrapped one of her scenes early and had her dumped at the bus station. Long after the movie came out, Stone agreed with Young that he should’ve swapped Young and Hannah’s roles. But it’s not like he, or anyone else of any distinction, has ever hired Young again.
Debra Winger vs. Shirley MacLaine, “Terms of Endearmentâ€
Speaking of grade four hijinks, have you heard the one where Debra Winger flipped up her skirt and serenaded her onscreen mother Shirley MacLaine with her, um, wind instrument while they filmed “Terms of Endearment”? These two were at odds almost from the moment they met in writer-director James L. Brooks’ apartment. MacLaine remembers thinking “Oh my goodness” when she saw Winger clomp in dressed in combat boots and a miniskirt. Their characters were supposed to be at odds, too, so presumably Brooks indulged their feud. Lord knows how far things actually went. Winger recently copped to getting into fisticuffs with MacLaine, telling CBS News Sunday Morning that “there might have been a scuffle. I don’t remember. I mean, we were wild, you know.” Oh, we know. Thanks be to gossip, we know.
Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin vs. Everyone, “The Marrying Manâ€
Baldwin fell in love with Basinger while making the romantic comedy “The Marrying Man” in 1991 and became a married man himself shortly after. But if you know anything about how bitter their custody battle is, you can guess how volatile their courtship was. According to reports from flabbergasted crew members, between takes Basinger would tell Baldwin exactly what she wanted to do to him later in bed, not caring that other people could hear. She also didn’t wear underwear and often sat spread-eagled, forcing assistants to throw towels over her legs, and perhaps some crew members to walk around covering their own legs. Meanwhile, Baldwin would throw things whenever a scene didn’t go his way, at one point almost hitting an electrician with a chair. One crew member said, “You’ve read about all the tantrums, the chair-throwing, the phone-smashing. Living it was 100 times worse. If Baldwin slammed a door, Basinger would slam another door harder. It was like they were two little kids, having a contest to see who could be the brattiest.” A senior crew guy called their behaviour “vile, deplorable, despicable” and claimed that “if I were destitute and living on the street with no food and somebody offered me a million dollars to work with Alec and Kim, I’d pass.” Screenwriter Neil Simon also hated the experience of working with them. “With a play, I have only two people to please – myself and the director,” he said. “With this movie, it was 19 executives, a director who’d never done anything but animation before, and two stars who would tell you what lines they’d say and what lines they wouldn’t say.” Needless to say, the movie flopped. Too much drama behind the scenes, not enough left for onscreen.
Marlon Brando vs. Frank Oz, “The Scoreâ€
Oz was the voice of Miss Piggy. Brando had become a big piggy. They worked together for awhile on the heist flick “The Score” in 2001, until Brando got so fed up with being told to tone down his flamboyant performance as a homosexual crook that he started calling Oz “Miss Piggy” and telling him, “f*** you.” Other stunts the legendary actor pulled include: bringing in a note from his doctor saying he’s allergic to Oz so that he wouldn’t have to be in the same room as him; refusing to take direction from anyone but Robert De Niro, so Oz had to watch from offsite and send notes to De Niro via an assistant director; and taking off his pants so Oz had to shoot him from the waist up only. Oz later made this legendary understatement: “When you deal with someone like Marlon, you expect quirkiness.” If by “quirky” he means “jerky,” we totally agree.
Bill Murray vs. Lucy Liu, “Charlie’s Angelsâ€
We saved the best for last. Do you know why Bill Murray was replaced by Bernie Mac in the “Charlie’s Angels” sequel? Rumour has it that Murray hates Lucy Liu with a passion and refuses to work with her again. According to Variety, one day Liu complained about the writing of a scene she was shooting with Murray, then Murray complained about Liu’s critique, and soon their costars Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz were fleeing for their trailers, causing shooting to shut down for the day so Liu and Murray could cool off. Murray’s alleged to have turned to each Angel and said: “I get why you’re [Barrymore] here, and you’ve [Diaz] got talent … but what in the hell are you [Liu] doing here? You can’t act!” Liu got so enraged that she ran over and started throwing punches at Murray. Both actors later claimed they had a teensy bout of “creative differences” that was blown out of proportion, and was certainly not the cause of Murray pulling out of the sequel. Liu denied that production was shut down and said that “if I had punched him or anything, I would have remembered.” But Murray sounds more honest when he admits that “for 15 or 20 minutes there, we went to our separate corners and threw hand-grenades and sky rockets at each other.” The proof will be in whether we ever see them in another movie together. Who wants to hold their breath?
I absolutely love the last one, I can totally picture Lucy Liu flipping her shit and throwing punches at Bill Murray.
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.

Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger took to the red carpet for the premiere of Senator Entertainment’s ‘The Informers,’ which was held at the Arclight Theaters in Hollywood.
They look like mutated versions of their former selves.
Could you just picture them reenacting their scenes from 9 1/2 Weeks?
In the movie, Kim Basinger snuggles up to a tub of honey and other assorted condiments resulting in a carnal scene that dreams are made of.
However, this scene caused severe disillusionment among horny teenagers who realized that the manipulation of food, didn’t necessarily guarantee a good time.
What others said:
Dlisted says, “If I was at The Informers premiere in L.A. last night, I would’ve thought that I accidentally stumbled into a Tupperware party. This much plastic is not fantastic. Seriously, if a He-Man and a Barbie doll were both thrown into a pot of boiling water, this is what it would look like.”
The Informers had its premiere during the Sundance Film Festival last night and these nude screencaps of Amber Heard have already made it to the internet (see after the jump below for the NSFW pictures).
Now I have no idea what is going on in the screencaps nor do I give a damn and neither should you because it is Amber Heard naked.
The Informers doesn’t sound good to me, its based on the 1995 book and is a couple of short stories captures a week in L.A. in 1983, featuring movie executives, rock stars, a vampire and other morally challenged characters in adventures laced with sex, drugs and violence.
The movie, which also stars the likes of Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, Mickey Rourke, Winona Ryder and Brad Renfro‘s final performance, has been getting really really crappy reviews after its was shown to audiences last night.
My favorite review says stuff like “I just came out of it; everyone I’ve spoken to about it looks pained and deflated — like they’ve got the flu,” and “It may be the worst Sundance movie I’ve ever seen — it’s certainly one of the biggest stinkers ever to show here.”

Oh well, Amber Heard has other movies coming out so she probably won’t have to worry much and if that fails, at least she is hot right?
Alec Baldwin as the governor? Not even a movie could I believe this. Yet Alec would like your vote for governor of California. Scarey huh? Alec has diarrhea of the mouth and would probably start a war with Canada or Mexico. If he can go off on a little girl that he claims to love the rest of us had better look out.
“There are other things I want to do besides acting†he tells Morley Safer on “60 Minutes†this Sunday. “In a matter of weeks, I’m going to be 50.†Baldwin was thinking of running for governor two years ago. Just before he went nut-so and left a voice mail for his daughter Ireland, then 11, calling her “a rude, thoughtless little pig.â€
When asked if he wanted a chance to apologize for calling Kim Basinger’s lawyer, Judy Bogen, a “300-pound homunculus with a face like a clenched fist,†Baldwin replied, “I was being kind, Morley.â€
In the past, Baldwin has done nothing to hide his brand of politics. He has called the vice president Dick Cheney a terrorist, then said he wasn’t a terrorist but rather “a lying, thieving oil whore and murderer of the U.S. Constitution.” Wasn’t Alec the one who said he would move to Canada if George W. Bush was elected President? Guess he couldn’t find a flight!

Remember the days when Julia Roberts a happy-go-lucky hooker with a heart of gold? Yes, Pretty Woman. Those were the good days. Then she landed a few woman with a heart of gold movies and went all A-list snob on us.
Regardless of her current smug status she made turning tricks look like a Cinderella story. Nothing better than some hot chocolate and your favorite whore turned princess with amazing hair to take the sting out of your Sunday. Julia landed number one in a poll of Hollywood’s favorite hookers.
Jennifer Jason Leigh’s performance in Last Exit to Brooklyn followed in the silver position. Her cotton candy hair probably did her in. That and her whore name is Tralala.
Birthday present to Christian Slater in True Romance, Patricia Arquette, took third place. Equally bad hooker name…Alabama. Dermot Mulroney should have taken first place for having to share the screen with Debra Messing. He ended up in fourth place for The Wedding Date. Now in L.A. Confidential, Kim Basinger pulls a Veronica Lake and that alone earned her a fifth place in the poll and an Oscar.
Hooker Oscars are a dime a dozen these days. I think I have a couple being used as paper weights and paper towel holders.
With her sister Mary-Kate landing a role on the kickass show of Weeds, I was wondering when Ashley Olsen would get her own acting gig. Ashley has scored a role in “The Informers” starring Billy Bob Thornton and Kim Basinger. Reuters gives us the permise of the film:
Set in 1980s Los Angeles, the script follows seven stories taking course during a week in the life of a movie executive, his wife, his mistress, a rock star, a vampire and a kidnapper. Thornton will play the movie executive, and Basinger his wife. Superman star Brandon Routh has been cast as the vampire, while Ashley Olsen will play a sexually promiscuous girl.
That’s all the role is described as: sexually promiscuous? I bet she could find a lot of inspiration for her character just by being around some of those Hollywood girls I love to write about so much.

“Alec Baldwin is begging fans to boycott a movie he made six years ago that has been re-edited, re-named and is being released. Baldwin directed, produced and acted in The Devil And Daniel Webster in 2001. Despite a cast including Anthony Hopkins, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Dan Aykroyd, the movie was dismissed by studio bosses and was never released. The film has been re-edited, renamed Shortcut To Happiness, and Baldwin’s name has been removed from the directing credits – replaced by pseudonym Harry Kirkpatrick. It will be released in six cities in the U.S. on July 13.
And Baldwin is advising fans not to watch the film – describing it as unrecognizable. A friend tells PageSix, “Alec doesn’t recommend unrecognizable films to his fans. This is not an Alec Baldwin film. He’s in the movie but he has nothing to do with it. His name was taken off as producer and director six years ago, but he couldn’t get it taken off as an actor.”
Wow, this sounds like a really nice way of saying everything about my movie sucks. I bet Kim Basinger is loving this one.
Kim Basinger says her ex-husband Alec Baldwin is “unstable and irrational.”
Kim Basinger denied leaking Alec Baldwin’s angry voicemail to their daughter and called on her ex-husband to “finally address his unstable and irrational behavior,” according to a statement from her rep.
“Everybody is always asking why this custody battle has been going on for so many years and now they have the answer,” says the statement, released Monday. “The issue is not about Kim or the alleged alienation that Alec constantly refers to. It is about his ongoing aggressive behavior.”
The rep says Basinger “did not release the voicemail,” but adds the message “was not sealed under a court order.” Baldwin’s attorneys had claimed the voicemail was in fact kept in a sealed court file, and leaked by Basinger’s side.
The new James Bond, Daniel Craig, is really in for a treat, because the producers of the “Casino Royale” have chosen quite a special type of Bond girl: the French beauty, Eva Green.
The 25-year-old French brunette showed the public everything in an erotic drama, “The Dreamers,” and had a very steamy sex scene with Orlando Bloom in “Kingdom of Heaven”, which needed serious editing (on account on being quite hot).
Nevertheless, Eva Green wasn’t Columbia’s first choice. She got her shot after more established stars like Angelina Jolie, Thandie Newton and Charlize Theron passed. And she reportedly had to overcome stiff competition from “Wicker Park” beauty Rose Byrne and Olivia Wilde from “The O.C.”
The Paris-born daughter of French actress Marlène Jobert and Walter Green, a Swedish dentist, Green joins a sexy sorority of former Bond girls such as Halle Berry, Kim Basinger and Teri Hatcher. Green said she gets more nervous doing interviews than taking off her clothes, which she did with relish in “The Dreamers” for Bernardo Bertolucci, who also directed the notorious “Last Tango in Paris.” Eva is quite comfortable with her body, and says that it’s somewhat of a natural gift for her. “I’m French and I’m lazy, which means I smoke and I don’t exercise,” she told the Calgary Sun last year. “This is the body I was given.”
Set in 1980s Los Angeles, the script follows seven stories taking course during a week in the life of a movie executive, his wife, his mistress, a rock star, a vampire and a kidnapper. Thornton will play the movie executive, and Basinger his wife. Superman star Brandon Routh has been cast as the vampire, while Ashley Olsen will play a sexually promiscuous girl.
