"Eighth degree, black belt idiots." "Dumbest bastards in the world." That's not Jack Donaghy talking about pinko liberals. That's Alec Baldwin talking about AOL homepage writers. But what's got him so heated?
Apparently it's a bit of selective misinterpretation that sent Baldwin on the warpath. As he writes over at The Huffington Post:
Today, on AOL's homepage, I am accused of insulting actor Jim Parsons for sending him a congratulatory gift basket, inside of which I added a card that read "Congratulations you talented, charming bastard."
I thought that was a joke. I think Parsons knew that. I think anyone on Earth could see that. Except the eighth degree, black belt idiots that compose the AOL homepage.
I'm still a loyal AOL user. In spite of the fact that its homepage content is written by the dumbest bastards in the world.
The lesson here is two-fold. One, do not twist the words of multiple Golden Globe Award winner Alec Baldwin. Two, there are loyal AOL users out there, and some of them are famous. [Huffington Post via Splitsider]
Things haven’t been going well of late for Barbie Hsu (Da S) -- She was recently crowned the “Queen of Rubbish Movies” by the *Golden Donkey judging panel. And then there’s her right arm which was immobilized last month due to nerve inflammation. She has tried various treatments from both Chinese and Western medicine, but movements of her fingers are still limited. For the time being, all of her filming schedules have been put on hold temporarily.
"She's very vulpine—very wolfish—and wily, kind of twitchy. Directing her is kind of like wrangling a herd of cats."
Country singer Toby Keith tops the Billboard 200 albums chart with his Bullets in the Gun, selling 71,000. Kenny Chesney’s Hemingway’s Whiskey, last week’s chart-topper, falls to No. 2 with 65,000. Bruno Mars‘ Doo-Wops & Hooligans enters at No. 3 with 55,000. With its lead single, “Just the Way You Are,” spending three weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and download popularity nearing double platinum status, this is a bit disappointing opening week for him. You’d think that with millions all over the country humming his tunes, at least 10-15% of them would support his album.
If Angelina Jolie is stressing on the set of her directorial debut in Hungary, she had some sweet support to calm those nerves: Brad Pitt stopped by Wednesday and gave her a kiss.
