Holiday Cards from Alec Baldwin – a Mess on and off the Screen

When Alec Baldwin was a regular on SNL, he performed a memorable Christmas cards-themed skit.
Alec Baldwin is a talented actor who did some great movies and is currently on the television show 30 Rock. He often appears on Saturday Night Live, and one of his more memorable skits was from episode 11 on season 21 of the show. Baldwin appears with a Santa hat saying he forgot to send out his Christmas cards and he would like the following to serve as his Christmas card this year. He then reads a very funny ultra-generic letter that is a spoof on every thing that is personalized in Christmas cards. It makes you wonder what his own celebrity holiday cards look like.
Well this year Alec Baldwin may be sending out holiday cards with his daughter’s name included once again. Apparently their rift of a year ago has been healed. You remember when he cursed on the phone at his then 11 year old daughter? You remember where he had derogatory words to relay in his lengthy tirade about his ex-wife and Ireland’s mother, Kim Bassinger? You remember where he called his daughter a little pig? If 2007 celebrity holiday cards from Alec Baldwin were sans his daughter’s name, then this year all should be happy in the Baldwin clan.
The marriage of Alec Baldwin to Kim Bassinger started out with such promise. They made such a great couple and didn’t they just look perfect together. They were blessed with the addition of a little girl and you would think they had it all. Unfortunately, the perfect world was replaced with a viciousness that has spilled over into their parenting. Can you imagine what its like for a little girl to grow up with two famous parents without the added burden of having everything concerning you in the headlines? Alec with his message that turned into a tirade and Kim, who it is obvious, was the only person capable of leaking the recording to the press. Perhaps, Ireland Baldwin would prefer to have her own holiday cards without either parent being included.

What an unfortunate mess! What’s up with the Baldwin brothers, they all seem to have talent but yet it’s such a waste because they are so dysfunctional. I’ve expected the “pig” comment from one of his brothers but it kind of caught me off guard coming from Alec. I thought he had some issues but I just didn’t think he’d sink that low. I mean that’s your daughter. I’m not so sure I’d be as forgiving..

Wow, and nearly a year later, Alec Baldwin’s bad behavior is still news… this time for mothing off at a flight attendant and refusing to shut off his video game during the flight. It’s annoying that celebrities think they are above the law and, more importantly, above having to behave like a decent human being. Tsk, tsk, Alec!
