Alec Baldwin Gun Kent State

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 Gun Trigger

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…

Amy Schumer Gun

AMY SCHUMER IS DEAD SERIOUS ABOUT GUN CONTROL

You know Amy Schumer means business when she’s wearing an army green jumpsuit and marching with the Students for Gun Control in downtown LA. Last month, when Amy surprised everyone by suddenly getting married, she instructed friends and fans, “No wedding gifts – donate to a gun control safety group!” Through the years, Amy has often mocked gun owners in skits and her standup act. Her motto for the student march for gun control today was “Hey, hey NRA, how many kids did you kill today?”

Angelina Jolie Brad Pitt Gun Las Vegas Shooting Range

DON’T TRY TO TAKE AWAY BRAD AND ANGELINA’S GUNS!

Brad Pitt surprised visitors at CinemaCon in Las Vegas last week when appeared to promote his zombie movie “World War Z.” The next day Brad, Angelina and all the kids descended upon the Bonanza Gifts shop according to Norm Clarke, and spent 45 minutes picking out a remote control zombie among other toys, snowglobes, and gifts for the family. Later that day Brad took Angie for a special date to the Strip Gun Club. The club refused to divulge any details but did say that both Brad and Angie had a great time shooting. Keep in mind, Brad spent around $400,000 on a shooting range with pop-up silhouette targets for Angelina located in their estate in France. Apparently guns are a fun sport or maybe an aphrodisiac for both – remember there were plenty of firearms on the set of “Mr and Mrs. Smith” when they met.

America's Most Wanted Beverly Hills Bicycle Crimes and Misdemeanors Gun Harold Smith Murder Police Ronni Chasen

HOW DID HAROLD SMITH SHOOT RONNI CHASEN FROM A BICYCLE?

Incredulous reporters quizzed the Beverly Hills police at their press conference today – everyone was flabbergasted to hear that the bullets that killed Ronni Chasen match the gun that Harold Smith used to kill himself. Cops theorized that Smith was desperate for money and it was a random robbery gone bad- ON A BICYCLE! LAPD has yet to turn over the bike to the Beverly Hills cops. Harold was certainly a good shot, but why didn’t he grab Ronni’s handbag on the seat next to her? Beverly Hills police played down the fact that they got the Harold Smith lead from America’s Most Wanted who received a call from a tipster. (Presumably the tipster will collect the $125,000 reward.) There are still a LOT of unanswered questions here so don’t put the Beverly Hills cops on a pedestal yet.

Big 5 Sporting Goods Gun James Gandolfini The Sopranos

EXCUSE ME, IS THAT TONY SOPRANO IN THE GUN DEPARTMENT?

A friend of ours was gazing in the showcase of the gun department at Big 5 Sporting Goods on Wilshire when he became aware of someone’s labored breathing next to him and it sounded oddly familiar. He looked up and the man said with a thick New York accent “They sell guns here?” It was James Gandolfini, clad in sweatpants and sneakers (no gold jewelry.) The Sopranos star and a buddy glanced at the guns, but they drifted over to the knife department and purchased pocket knives.

RIHANNA STICKS TO HER GUNS

Rihanna has a sense of humor about fashion – we love her black leather Guardian Angel handbag with the outline of a gun on the side. It’s made by Dutch designers Vlieger & Vandam</a> and it’s not as ridiculously expensive as most of the European handbags – it sells for around $350 and makes everyone smile. Except airport security.

Arrested Bank Booze Crimes and Misdemeanors Gun Rehab Rip Torn

RIP TORN THOUGHT THE BANK WAS HIS HOUSE

Now it makes some sense. A highly inebriated (twice the legal limit) Rip Torn, 78, was found wandering around inside a Connecticut bank with a loaded gun in his pocket and his fly unzipped. Officers who came in response to the bank alarm found shoes and a hat by the back door, and broken glass next to the door. Torn didn’t understand why troopers showed up to arrest him and put him in handcuffs and kept asking WHY they were taking him away. Here’s the deal: The “Men in Black” star had been drinking at a bar near his home (he walks, since his DUI) and he was so wasted when he left that he mistook the bank for his house. The bank DOES look like a home – it’s in a two story colonial house with an attic. Torn took off his hat and boots at the back door and when his key wouldn’t work, he broke the glass to get in. When troopers arrived he still thought he was at home! He was charged with trespassing, burglary, and firearms counts, after spending the weekend in jail. Last we heard he’s off to rehab.

Victoria Principal took a walk on the beach in Malibu over the weekend with an amused looking male friend. She tried to look normal after that embarrassing incident involving cops where her maid accused Victoria of pulling a gun on her. The two now have dueling lawsuits, but Victoria is no stranger to 911 drama. She and her exhusband, plastic surgeon Harry Glassman, used to have some lively altercations requiring 911 visits.
