I just feel like there's no hope for LL left. Even her parents have given up and are now publicly justifying their protective actions to remove responsibility for what she has/will become. #alecbaldwin
Man, who is Lindsay Lohan to me? No one, I don't care about Lindsay Lohan. She made some okay movies, but it's not like she was some undiscovered Meryl Streep or something.
AT THE SAME TIME: I would happily take thirty grand to kidnap Michael Lohan and drop him off in some tiny Nepalese village where there's no phone or internet, and promise the villagers ten thousand dollars if they never let him leave. #alecbaldwin
Dane Cook has so many mixed metaphors going on in his statement that I'm not entirely sure of his point. But as I recall, Mr.Cook had the singular distinction of being in a movie with Jessica Simpson, so maybe he shouldn't be pointing fingers about people doing crappy movies?
@FireflyinJuly: I was tempted to go for the passive-aggressive "I'm just SAYIN'"...but rejected the idea. If there was ever a statement that didn't need a qualifier, it's the one that I just made. #alecbaldwin
@Hooplehead: I think he was doing it because so many guys were mocking him and his crappy movies - only to come out and make crappy movies themselves, like David Cross. I have never much cared for Dane Cook as a comic, but I have to agree with him on this point. #alecbaldwin
@telecomic the thoughtful red panda: I get why he's saying it. I simply disagree that someone who's made a career of making any crap movie that came along has a leg to stand on when it comes to criticizing anyone else's choice of projects. He simply has no credibility in this department. Those who live in glass houses should not be so quick to throw stones, and Cook's critics at least have the distinction of having done work that didn't stink to high heaven at one point. Whereas I am at a loss to name a single Cook vehicle that didn't scream "waste of time" to me. #alecbaldwin
@Hooplehead: wait, wait! He was really good on that... um... he had that funny bit about... well... hey, do you remember when he spiked up his hair, and wore a wrist band on his forearm? That was cool. #alecbaldwin
As for Levi buying his baby son hockey gear: my son had his first baseball mitt by the time he was three weeks old, so I get it. It's just something dads (or grandfathers, in our case) do for their sons and grandsons. It's a guy thing.
He eventually grew into it and used it for years - it was even signed by David Wright. Yum, David Wright... #alecbaldwin
@gerbilsoutofexile...is cheap and easy: Sure, but why does a "guy thing" have to be about assuming the son will be into 'manly sports culture'? What if his son actually wants to be a ballet dancer, a pianist or a chess player for his leisure activity? There's always something a little too pushy about buying infants sports paraphernalia in my mind, not to mention the sexist aspects, since few men buy these things for their daughters (who very well might grow up to play hockey or soccer or baseball, etc.) #alecbaldwin

@Hippopotame wants a star, dagnabbit!!!: My husband comes from a long line of rabid Phillies fans; my father-in-law, 70 years old, still plays in a league. And Ian has had a talent for baseball since he was tiny. If he had not wanted to touch his glove (but he did and he's quite talented) and had other interests as well (he plays the trumpet and loves to read), that would have been fine.
Also, see boobookitteh above: her nieces were also included in their family's baseball tradition. #alecbaldwin
Wow! Coincidence! I removed Oprah's Karaoke Challenge from my TiVo - just because (it looked like a cheaper version of AI which I don't watch either). #alecbaldwin
I've seen Dane Cook do stand up. I've seen David Cross do stand up. Who do you think was better? Take your time with this one. Really feel it out. #alecbaldwin
Confession time. Dane Cook is from my hometown. He apparently used to work at the video store close to my house, so I probably met him hundreds of times. So, on behalf of my hometown, I just want to say, "I'm sorry." #alecbaldwin
Right. Dane Cook, master comedy thespian. Good Luck Chuck, Dan in Real Life and My Best Friend's Girl might be free from talking animals, but they're no more tolerable than Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Maybe you should wait to compare film reels until the entire nation gets mild cataracts and mistakenly thinks Ryan Reynolds is you.
If I was Lindsay I would be so dead set against rehab now. Because then her dad would be able to gloat about her going. Plus rehab is not some magical anodyne. I think if anything this girl needs therapy to deal with having had her parents.
Am I reading this right - did Dominic say it is fun to pretend to have OCD? Because if so I think he is doing it wrong. From what I have gathered there is definitely not a stillness and confidence. #dirtbag
@hortense: Yeah, but David Cross was in Arrested Development, so he still wins. Any given one-liner from Tobias is ten times funnier than Dane Cook's entire career. #alecbaldwin
@Sputnik_Sweetheart: Oh dude, no, I'm not defending Dane Cook by any means, I'm just saying that David Cross already explained the Alvin thing in 2007, so I'm not sure what Cook's point is. Also he's an idiot because talks about his "hero" Chris Rock and then shits on people for doing talking animal movies...like Chris Rock does. #alecbaldwin
Dominic, I do like you a lot. I defended you when I heard people pan your performance on FlashForward, but you are making it very hard after this quote. There is nothing "fun" about OCD. Trust me. I know from personal experience. #dirtbag
@cuteasabutton: I saw that movie by mistake and I still haven't fully recovered. It was THAT BAD. About 15 minutes in I was already checking my watch, praying that it would be over soon. #alecbaldwin
Ooooh, the 'ol "god doesn't care about you, sinner!" routine. I always find it especially amusing when people find religion for the sole purpose of making them feel better about themselves, and then turn around and use their new found beliefs to try to "smite" someone else. Michael Lohan is classic. #dirtbag
