Alec Baldwin Goes Retirement Chic

Posted Oct 4th 2007 10:30AM by TMZ Staff

Alec Baldwin's new crew is hip .. and may also be in need of some new ones!

TMZ caught Baldwin outside of Letterman in New York yesterday afternoon, where he grabbed two seemingly random old folks outside and proceeded to give his "dear friends from St. Augustine, Florida" some tips for posing for paps.

During the show<, Letterman asked Alec about his relationship with daughter Ireland -- the daughter he left the now infamous brutal cell phone message for, released by TMZ. Alec said his friends thought "releasing that [tape] was worse than chewing out a kid ... my mother used to hit us with a curtain rod ... and that video's going to be on TMZ as well."

For those of you who've been asking, TMZ does not have the curtain rod video.

5. u people at TMZ are so fugly and rude, saw u on your show last night ( Don't need to ever watch that show again!) and I just had to comment that you all look like Witch Hunters from like the 1700's who do nothing except condem innocent people. The people from TMZ are just wanta-be's who need their 15 minutes of fame. Why do u tear down people? Does it make u feel more powerful then them when u know that u are NOTHING but Witch hunters?
Alex Baldwin was making fun of you last night but I guess u didn't get it!

9. It's going to take a lot more than posing with some sweet old folks to make America forget how brutal he was to his daughter.

12. his mother used a curtain rod on him...stupid remark, on so many levels.

low-blow to your mom alec...why bring her parenting skills, or lack there-of, into your mess.

emotional abuse....physical abuse...you can't 'rate' which kind of abuse is worse, it's abuse...sounds like you're saying what your mom did to you is somehow 'worse' than what you did to your daughter...emotional abuse as a child/kid can cause a person to actually SEEK out abusers, creating a life-time of problems...stop blaming your ex, and now your own mother, for your twisted need to tear people down when you feel insulted.

13. I hear parents say the most awful things to their kids in stores, the school parking lot, and elsewhere. My mother regularly used unbelieveably hurtful words against her 3 children and......hairbrushes, belts, and the back end of her hand as well. Alec is right in that releasing that tape did far worse damage to Ireland than what he said, which was probably extremely isolated. TMZ played right into that sick Kim Basinger's manipulations.......you guys are like the devil's henchmen...your mother's must be so proud.

14. #14 - It probably wasn't an isolated incident. He just got caught. Cowards love to keep bully those they "love" and put on a good show for everyone else.
