Alec Baldwin

ALEC BALDWIN IS NOT OFF THE HOOK YET

Alec Baldwin’s criminal days are behind him after a judge in New Mexico tossed out his case and ruled it cannot be tried again, but that doesn’t mean he’s seen the last of a courtroom. Not only is Alec facing a civil trial, but he’s also been told to expect a subpoena in the case of Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer who was convicted in her case regarding the same shooting on the set of their movie Rust. If a judge doesn’t toss out Hannah’s conviction it will be appealed and Alec will be forced to testify. Although he’s eager to put the entire tragedy behind him and working to settle the civil case, he won’t be able to worm his way out of being a witness if Hannah’s conviction is appealed in court.

Alec Baldwin Bar Ben Affleck Cane Emma Roberts Flirt George Clooney Husband Jennifer Lopez Julia Roberts Marriage MS Negotiation Nepotism Paris Selma Blair Therapy

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Emma Roberts made headlines when she remarked that Hollywood women are far more often called out as “nepo babies” than Hollywood men, while appearing on the podcast Table for Two. She pointed out George Clooney as the ultimate nepo baby. Emma had a valid point: although George is talented, his aunt was the iconic Rosemary Clooney which opened doors for him in Hollywood. Although she sort of backtracked her comments, Emma’s aunt, who just happens to also be one of George’s best friends, Julia Roberts, was miffed over the incident. Our source told us that hours after the podcast became news, Julia got on the phone to Emma and gave her quite the earful. We can reveal that Emma, at Julia’s urging, reached out to George and apologized for bringing his name up. Even though Julia was upset, good-natured George just laughed it off.

Alec Baldwin made the news again for all the wrong reasons. This week his attorneys asked the New Mexico judge to dismiss the case against him over firearm evidence. The long shot move is unlikely to fly and here’s what we know. Behind very closed doors Alec’s legal eagles are trying to negotiate a plea deal which will allow him to serve any time in house arrest, pay a substantial fine, and work on legislation banning REAL guns on movie sets. Nothing has been agreed to as of yet, but secret negotiations continue.

Estranged lovebirds Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez created some buzz when they were spotted in the same Beverly Hills office building. Although they arrived and left separately we are hearing that the “meeting” was actually part of a therapy session. Ben arrived first and had an individual session, and then later in the day J.Lo arrived to join him for a joint couples session. Their future together seems to change by the moment, but they want to make sure they give their marriage every chance to survive.

Miranda Lambert’s handsome hubby, former NYC cop Brendan McLoughlin made news and she ain’t happy about it. Brendan was seen getting chummy with other females that weren’t his wife, and he did it at the Nashville bar, Casa Rosa, that Miranda’s OWNS! While Brendan claimed he was just being a good host (he occasionally works there) we are hearing that Miranda was nonetheless irked at his misstep, and put him on notice that he won’t be hanging out in her bar, or any other bar for that matter, unless she’s WITH him!

Finally to end the week on an uplifting note, Selma Blair was spotted all over Paris this week looking great during the countless fashion shows. We know this. Selma’s trip wasn’t all pleasure. The brave MS sufferer also spent a great deal of time meeting with designers to encourage them to include canes in their accessories. Selma relies on a cane to help her with stability issues caused by the MS and she’s made no secret that it’s hard to find anything stylish. As my source puts it, Selma wants to make canes more attractive and fashionable.

Alec Baldwin Donald Trump Politics Trial

ALEC BALDWIN DOESN’T WANT A MAGA JURY

Alec Baldwin‘s trial on involuntary manslaughter charges is set to begin July 9, and according to our insider, the defense attorneys want to poll prospective jurors on what they think about Donald Trump. Not only did Alec portray an unflattering version of Donald on Saturday Night Live, but he’s been outspoken regarding his disdain for him. Alec’s defense attorneys are hoping to persuade the judge to allow jurors to be polled on their political leanings and whether they support Trump, even though the trial has nothing to do with politics. Remember where you read this if the judge allows this unconventional line of questioning during the process of selecting jurors!

Alec Baldwin Guilty Prison Real Estate

ALEC BALDWIN IS READY FOR ANYTHING

Alec Baldwin’s trial for involuntary manslaughter is slated to begin July 10, and according to an insider he and his wife Hilaria are already preparing for a worst case outcome if he’s found guilty and winds up in prison. Alec is facing 18-months in New Mexico State prison so he and Hilaria are already looking at compounds to lease if he ends up behind bars. My source reveals that their doomsday plan is for Hilaria to move their 7 kids to a mansion in Santa Fe, NM, so they’ll be able to visit Alec if he’s locked up. While Alec is confident he’ll be acquitted, he and Hilaria are practical enough to be prepared.

Alec Baldwin Billie Eilish Choir Divorce Meghan Markle Teacher Trial

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.

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 Friends Halyna Hutchins Manslaughter Trial

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.

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…

Alec Baldwin Kids Nick Cannon

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 CAMP Kids

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…
