(Newser) – After his infamous 2007 voicemail for his daughter went public, Alec Baldwin had “very serious” suicidal thoughts, he tells Playboy in an interview, People reports. “I spoke to a lot of professionals, who helped me,” he said, adding that Harvey Levin of TMZ, who released the voicemail, is “a human tumor.” Elsewhere:

  • Jessica Alba is off the hook: No one will press charges against her for vandalizing Oklahoma City with shark posters, the Oklahoman reports.

  • Rihanna is embarrassed about having to testify at Chris Brown’s hearing and “doesn't want to recount one of the worst nights of her life all over again,” a source tells the Daily Mirror. Meanwhile, his PR consultants have plotted Brown’s every move since the alleged assault, right down to his “I’m not a monster” video,TMZ reports.
  • Now that Madonna has permission to adopt Malawian orphan Mercy James, she is calling the 4-year-old daily. On her last call, “She said, ‘Mommy is waiting for you across the seas,’” an insider tells the Sun.
  • Even if you’re a Playmate and Hugh Hefner’s ex, you can’t go around sneaking underage girls into nightclubs. Holly Madison tried and was promptly bounced, TMZ reports.

Yes, his ugly, true-to-his-inner-bully message exposed his bare nasty ass to the world...yup, "suicidal" that he got busted in the public eye, not the offense.

The leak itself made him suicidal, not the fact that he left it in the first place. What a champ

Alec Baldwin is a weak-ass, punk, bully-wannabe...yeah, right, "left me suicidal." Sure, Alec, whatever....lacks the balls to off himself anyway.
