Dude gave us a little T-M-I in NY last night ... but we're not sure if he's pulling our leg -- or if he's being serious.

Baldwin and Ice Cube -- This Race is War
There can only be one king of the airport security line -- and yesterday at LAX, Alec Baldwin and Ice Cube unknowingly went head-to-head. The two matched up in a race to see who could unload and load their crap faster.
Here's the question -- Alec clears security first, but Mr. Cube gets his stuff together faster and starts the walk. So.....

Alec to Photog: Take My Daughter Please!
It's rare to see Alec Baldwin give it up to the paparazzi -- even weirder to see him give up his daughter Ireland to one -- literally.
Matchmaker, matchmaker make me a match ... Kim's gonna love this one.

Alec Smarts on "60 Min."
Alec Baldwin vented on "60 Minutes" about the voice mail message to his daughter which TMZ first published. He also trashes Kim Basinger's lawyer.
In the segment, which airs tonight, Baldwin says, "You get so frustrated, and you realized, number one, and it's wrong. It's totally wrong ... that I was really speaking to someone else when I left that message. I was pissed. I had been putting up with this for six years."
As for calling his daughter a "thoughtless little pig," Baldwin thinks the real damage is that the voice mail went public.
Baldwin's venom was targeted at Basinger's lawyer, Judy Bogen. When asked about his comment that she resembled "a 300 pound homunculus with a face like a clinched fist," he said he was being "kind" and that it was not abusive given what she put him through.
Tonight, Bogan's law partner, Neal Hersh, blasted Baldwin, saying, "His personal attacks were socially and morally unacceptable, not to mention inaccurate. He defended his actions rather than take responsibility."
BTW, a homunculus is "a miniature adult that in the theory of preformation is held to inhabit the germ cell and to produce a mature individual merely by an increase in size."

Alec Baldwin and Daddy's Little Girl
Alec Baldwin turned half-a-century old yesterday and celebrated with his favorite (and only) daughter, Ireland.
His relationship with his cute-as-a-button 12-year-old daughter had been strained, but she looked happy at LAX -- not an easy feat after a six hour flight.

Alec Baldwin and Daughter -- Together Again
It's been a while since "30 Rock" thespian Alec Baldwin and his adorable daughter Ireland, 12, were seen out together -- and yesterday the twosome made a trip to Blockbuster in Woodland Hills to pick up some flicks.
Who knew Alec was so shy?

Alec Baldwin Goes Retirement Chic
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.

Alec Baldwin -- Schweaty Balls?
It must have been a hot weekend in the Hamptons -- as Alec Baldwin got all soggy in a button down shirt. Profuse perspiration or an impromptu wet t-shirt contest? Either way, not good.
TMZ cameras were at a Billy Joel concert on Saturday, where Baldwin left the venue dripping -- in what appears to be sweat. Baldwin even had to pick up a nice dry t-shirt on the way out the door, proudly showing it off to our photog.
Cameras spotted Alec at the American Hotel later that night, sporting the same, but less wet, sweat shirt.

Kim and Ireland's Homecoming
Kim Basinger and daughter Ireland Baldwin arrived at Los Angeles International Airport yesterday afternoon.
Divorce proceedings for Alec Baldwin and Basinger that had been scheduled for yesterday were postponed -- and have yet to be rescheduled. No word on where Kim and Ireland are returning from or whether or not the postponement was due to their travels.
More prolonged drama for mama!

Alec Needs a Couch
Get out of the way! It's Alec Baldwin! 
The actor was seen lumbering down the sidewalk in New York's Soho district, shopping for furniture with gal pal, lawyer Nicole Seidel. The on/off twosome appear to be having lunch on the run.
But not running.

Alec Baldwin Gives His "View"
Alec Baldwin was welcomed with applause to a sitdown in a taped segment that aired on "The View" today, with Baldwin giving a heartfelt and somber tale of parental alienation that drove him to the boiling point.
Baldwin said that his "deep and endless frustration" in being unable to communicate with his daughter, Ireland, led him to misdirect his anger to the child, because he "can't address the other person in this dynamic," but stopped short of mentioning Kim Basinger.
The "30 Rock" star went on to address the topic of parental alienation and his frustration with a litigious and complicated custody battle. Baldwin said he was sorry for all those who were offended ... also mentioning how many people he'd heard from who had either been abused by a parent, or frustrated with an ex-wife, and those who were alienated from their children.

Kim Basinger Bow-Wows Out
Kim Basinger has been dogged by press and paparazzi since TMZ posted her ex-husband's barking voice mail, and perhaps that's why she had to uncollar from a committment to a pooch charity event.
Kim was scheduled to host the 6th Annual "Nuts For Mutts" Dog Show and Pet Fair near Los Angeles this past weekend, but was a no-show. Grr.
The event still had some star support minus Kim -- some good 'ol "Idol" castoffs! Sabrina Sloan and Alaina Alexander were both on hand to provide some leggy love for their four-legged pals. Woof.
Kim's reps were not available for comment.

Alec Responds: "I've Been Driven to the Edge"
Alec Baldwin swung back at wife Kim Basinger, slamming "certain people" who he says, "will go to any lengths to embarass [sic] me and to disrupt my relationship with my daughter."
In a statement on his website alecbaldwin.com, Baldwin apologizes for "losing my temper" but is "equally sorry that a court order was violated," and maintains that despite his now-public tirade he has friends and "respect from people I work with," and what he claims to be "a normal relationship" with daughter Ireland. Here's the statement in full:
Thank you to everyone who has posted messages of suppport and understanding. Naturally, it is not best for a parent to lose their temper with their child. Everyone who knows me privately knows that I have endured a great deal over the last several years in my custody litigation. Everyone who knows me privately knows that certain people will go to any lengths to embarass me and to disrupt my relationship with my daughter.
In such public cases, your opponents attempt to take a picture of you on your worst day and insist that this is who you are as a person. Outside the doors of divorce court, I have friends, I have respect from people I work with and I have a normal relationship with my daughter. All of that is threatened whenever one enters a court room.
Although I have been told by numerous people not to worry too much, as all parents lose their patience with their kids, I am most saddened that this was released to the media because of what it does to a child. I'm sorry, as everyone who knows me is aware, for losing my temper with my child. I have been driven to the edge by parental alienation for many years now. You have to go through this to understand. (Although I hope you never do.) I am sorry for what happened. But I am equally sorry that a court order was violated, which had deliberately been put under seal in this case.
Once my book is published, I'm sure more people will understand the incredible strains created by parental alienation.
In the meantime, I'm sorry to anyone who's taken offense from this episode.

Baldwin's Late Night Change of Heart
Just a few hours before he blasted his daughter on her voice mail, Alec Baldwin had a few laughs at Ireland's expense on "Late Night with David Letterman."
After telling Dave that his 11-year-old was "doing great," Baldwin regaled the live audience with a story about Ireland's new affinity for dancing in public, then playfully mocked a few of her favorite moves.
When Dave asked if Ireland's new passion was embarrassing for him, Alec replied, "Hey, she could be out stealing cars." Funny he should mention that.
Shortly after the taping, Baldwin tried to call his daughter. We all know what happened next.

Baldwin -- Can You Hear Me Now?
Hours after TMZ posted Alec Baldwin's explosive voice mail message to his 11-year-old daughter, we spotted Baldwin in New York -- on his cell phone! It looked like Alec had already flipped into damage control mode.
Baldwin was spotted making a swift exit from a benefit party for The Old Vic Theatre, keeping his face turned away from cameras as he gabbed on his cell.
