The New Olbermann: Alec Baldwin?

Genevieve Sabourin arrested at actor's home

(NEWSER) - Alec Baldwin met Canadian actress Genevieve Sabourin back in 2002 while filming The Adventures of Pluto Nash, on which she was working as a publicist, and apparently he made such an impression on her that she's been stalking him ever since. Sabourin, 40, was arrested yesterday at Baldwin's New York home, the Daily News reports; she had reportedly also followed him to various places around the city and shown up at his home in the Hamptons in the past. Baldwin joins these other stalked celebs:

• Madonna: The Material Girl has had more than her fair share of stalkers. One, Robert Dewey Hoskins, escaped from the mental health facility where he was being held in February. Fortunately, cops found him a week later.
• Dr. Drew: The celebrity physician had a particularly creepy stalker, who was arrested after threatening to kill the doctor's kids and force his wife to eat them.
• David Letterman: His stalker referred to herself as "Mrs. David Letterman," and was arrested after breaking into his home a minimum of seven times. (Oddly, another woman accused Letterman of stalking her … via code.)

Says industry using 9/11 as an excuse for lousy service

(NEWSER) - More fallout from Alec Baldwin's American Airlines incident : The actor has taken himself off Twitter. "Let’s play a game called Mass Unfollowing. I want to crash this acct and start again," he wrote before deactivating his account, according to the New York Post . But that doesn't mean he's done talking; on the Huffington Post , Baldwin apologizes to his fellow travelers for delaying their flight. "It was never my intention to inconvenience anyone with my 'issue' with a certain flight attendant," he writes. Baldwin says that he and lots of other people were using their phones while the plane was still at the gate, but that he got "singled out" by the attendant "in the most unpleasant of tones." More»

Alec Baldwin pulls videotaped skit after joke is axed

(NEWSER) - Alec Baldwin squashed his videotaped appearance on last night's Emmy Awards after Fox axed his joke about the phone hacking scandal at newspapers owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., Fox's parent company. Baldwin demanded his entire videotaped bit, which was to air at the beginning of the show, be removed once the joke was censored. (The segment was re-filmed with Leonard Nimoy ... and without the joke .) A Fox spokesman said the bit was cut because the network takes the phone hacking scandal "seriously," and didn't want to appear to be joking about it, reports the Guardian . More»

...who may not exist

(NEWSER) - Alec Baldwin is not a man known for his cool temper, which makes it only slightly surprising that he went on a Twitter rant on Wednesday. The weird twist? It was directed at a possibly non-existent Starbucks employee. "Starbucks on 93 and B’way. Uptight Queen barrista [sic] named JAY has an attitude problem," he tweeted . Except, uhh, the manager of that location tells the New York Post there is no such employee. "Maybe he means Giovan," volunteers one worker. More»

Allegedly...

(NEWSER) - Crystal Harris may have apologized for panning Hugh Hefner's bedroom skills , but comments like these just can't be erased. The Frisky lists 15 more celebs who've found themselves dealing with the same public complaint:

• Jesse James: As one of his non-Sandra, non-Kat lady friends put it, he was a "dud in bed who only cared about himself."
• Colin Farrell: A former lover says she kept faking orgasms to be "polite" and to allow Farrell to "keep his dignity."
• Nick Lachey: After their split, Jessica Simpson bemoaned the fact that Lachey's "small package was a problem sometimes."
