Alec Baldwin

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Alec Baldwin recently filed a motion to dismiss the charges he’s facing in the 2021 shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, but here’s what we know. Behind closed doors Alec’s legal team is hoping to negotiate a plea deal involving no jail time, a clear record, community service and a HUGE donation. Alec is concerned that a jury found armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed guilty in the case, so he’s secretly done a 180 and instructed his high-priced lawyers to make a deal!

Last Sunday Billie Eilish named dropped her former choir teacher, Mandy Bringham, when she won her second Oscar for Best Original Song for What Was I Made For, from the Barbie movie. Other media outlets tracked down the teacher but only WE will tell you that Billie personally reached out to Mandy days after the historic win, and the two are getting together in the near future. Our source says Billie plans to offer Mandy a job on her team as, what else, a vocal coach.

For reality TV fans, the buzz this week was the final reunion episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and the current state of OG star, Kyle Richard’s marriage to estranged husband Maurico Umansky. We can tell you this tidbit: Despite Kyle not revealing many deets on the reunion, our well placed source says that marriage is kaput and a very friendly divorce is being negotiated. If there’s any divorce drama it will only be manufactured for next season of RHOBH, but the soon-to-be exes have already decided who gets what and may plan to live together as friends for a bit until their youngest daughter Portia turns 18 in two years.

Meghan Markle made headlines when she debuted a new website which she eventually will use to hawk merchandise. Way back in November, we told you that Meghan and Harry were looking at wineries to sell their own wine and this latest venture goes along with that. Meghan hopes to be the next Martha Stewart and build an empire based around her kitchen skills, including her own wine as well as olive oils, jams, cookbooks, etc. Our source adds this tidbit you will only read here – Meghan’s Montecito neighbor and good pal Oprah Winfrey is an angel investor in the project.

NO GUNS FOR ALEC BALDWIN IN HIS NEXT FILM

Alec Baldwin will be back in front of the camera as soon as the SAG/AFTRA strikes ends, because  he’s set to star in Kent State about the 1970 Vietnam War protests and shooting. An insider revealed that once Alec signed on for his role, the script was tweaked so his character won’t handle a gun. It seemed like the right thing to do since Alec was involved in the tragic accidental shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on his last movie, Rust. Although he’s been criminally cleared from that accident, the producers of Kent State decided it wasn’t a good look to have Alec with a gun, so that’s why they rewrote part of the script.

ALEC BALDWIN WILL GET A LITTLE HELP FROM HIS FRIENDS

Alec Baldwin is counting on his celebrity friends to help him beat involuntary manslaughter charges! An insider says Alec is determined to prove he wasn’t responsible for the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his movie, Rust, and he plans on the help of his famous friends to prove his innocence. According to an insider, a plea deal was floated around before the formal charges were filed on Jan 31, but Alec is determined to FIGHT the case and he’s relying on many of his fellow actors to testify if the case goes to trial. The insider predicts that Alec’s trial will have more movie stars than the Academy Awards. Alec hopes having many big name actors testify about gun use on movie sets will sway the jury in his favor. Many of his A-list pals have already agreed to testify on his behalf if needed.

NOW ALEC BALDWIN IS BLAMING MEDIA FOR HIS DILEMMA

About six weeks after the Rust film shooting, Alec Baldwin remarked that he “didn’t pull the trigger” – that the gun went off by itself – surprising everyone. The FBI checked out the weapon and declared that he DID. Alec INSISTS that he is not responsible for the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and the wounding of director Joel Souza. But Alec is a producer on the film, and HE hired the possibly incompetent armourer (person in charge of set weapons.) Meanwhile, Alec’s wife Hilaria announced she is pregnant with his eighth child. Lawyers doubt that Alec will get jail time, even if he deserves it. But certainly Halyna’s family and probably Joel, will sue Alec for all he’s worth. Recently Alec has been complaining about the LA Times and Hollywood Reporter’s extensive coverage of the event. He thinks they make him look bad…

ALEC BALDWIN IS SET TO TIE THE NICK CANNON RECORD

Nick Cannon’s announcement this week that he just fathered his 8th child, reminded us that the OTHER actor in competition for father of the decade, Alec Baldwin, is expecting his 8th baby this fall. The main difference between these two prolific guys is that Nick’s babies have many different mothers, while six of Alec’s kids come from his current wife Hilaria, and one (Ireland, 26) from his ex-wife Kim Basinger. Alec’s wife Hilaria had two miscarriages in 2019, so Alec fell behind in the race with Cannon. We wonder if Hilaria’s pretending to be Spanish has anything to do with her desire to have SO many kids with a 64 year old father. What IS she thinking? ALL the Baldwin kids are under the age of 9 – can you imagine the chaos in that household? And Hilaria, 38, does NOT appear to be slowing down…

ALEC BALDWIN COULD USE A BIT OF DISTRACTION

Alec Baldwin looked slightly frazzled, but determined, as he took his cute kids Carmen and Leonardo to CAMP – described as a “Family Experience Store” in New York. The store offers “activities and experiences” for kids and adults of all ages. We don’t have the store in Los Angeles, but we shopped the online store and made some interesting finds. You can buy Lizzo and Keanu Reeves coloring books at this store- as well as a stainless steel multi-tool the size of a credit card that serves as a flashlight, screwdriver, wrench, saw, bottle opener, knife and file – and fits in your wallet! (we bought this) Sounds like a fascinating place for everybody…

HILARIA MADE A FOOL OF HIM AND ALEC BALDWIN IS FURIOUS!

Living with angry Alec Baldwin must be a nightmare this week since it was revealed that his wife Hilaria humiliated him by faking her personal history. During their marriage, Alec often affectionately joked about his Spanish wife and her habits. Why didn’t he get suspicious when he met her waspy parents from Boston? Did Hilaria also lie about graduating from NYU? What ELSE did she tell Alec about herself that we don’t even know about? (Wikipedia oddly lists her age as “36 or 37”) One person on Twitter revealed Hilaria’s true identity and many of her Boston high school classmates celebrated the truth FINALLY coming out. Hilaria is blaming everyone else for “misrepresenting her” and said she never reads about herself. Her confession “Yes, I am a white girl” has NOTHING to do with ANYTHING! She’s been caught red-handed. Alec is totally embarrassed and furious that Hilaria has made him look foolish – of course, he’s blaming Twitter for the fuss, calling it “a vast orchard of crap.” (Now’s a good time for Alex to review those anger management classes he took) Meanwhile the Twitter whistle-blower says she’s afraid volatile Alec will punch her. We wouldn’t want to be in Hilaria’s shoes now either…

WHAT DID ALEC BALDWIN REALLY KNOW ABOUT HIS WIFE?

Alec Baldwin is outraged about charges that his wife Hilaria has been passing herself off as Spanish, but we wonder if she fooled HIM too! Years ago, when he first started dating her, she was described as a Spanish yoga teacher named Hilaria Thomas and she had a pronounced accent. Neither she nor Alex EVER attempted to correct that information, so it was assumed to be accurate. It turns out she was born Hillary Hayward-Thomas (both parents were American college professors without a drop of Spanish blood) and grew up in Massachusetts. In 2011, her parents retired to Majorca, Spain. Hilaria and Alex have five children- ALL with Spanish names! By all accounts, Hilaria is an exceptional mother and excellent yoga instructor- so her desire to be perceived as Spanish is even more disconcerting! Do her children think they are Spanish? We’ll let Alec figure that out.

THIS IS ALEC BALDWIN’S LIFE

How different Alec Baldwin’s life would be if he had never met his wife Hilaria. Alec had earned a reputation in Hollywood as being “difficult” to put it mildly. He argued with directors, made demands on the set, and attacked paparazzi. He’s been forced to go to anger management classes and a parenting course, before he could communicate with daughter Ireland. A contentious divorce from Kim Basinger and twitter battles enhanced his negative image. Eight years ago Hilaria came along and four babies later he is posing at Disneyland with the family and on good terms with Ireland again…(Ireland is with her musician boyfriend Corey Harper)

HILARIA BALDWIN: DO BLONDES HAVE MORE BABIES?

Alec Baldwin’s wife Hilaria, 35, has never looked better – turning blonde definitely agrees with her. Certainly it helped lift her spirits after a recent miscarriage. Alex and Hilaria have four children under the age of six (Alex also has daughter, Ireland, with ex-wife Kim Basinger) and Alex, 61, is content with five kids, but he suspects his wife has other plans…
