Emmy Award-winning actor Alec Baldwin was taken to a Manhattan hospital early today when his teenage daughter frantically called 911, claiming he had threatened to take pills after they got into a heated fight, sources said.

While the 12:10 a.m. call came in as a “possible alcohol or drug overdose,” sources told The Post that Baldwin never swallowed sleeping pills and had only threatened to do so.

The “30 Rock” actor, who lives on Central Park West, was released from Lenox Hill Hospital shortly after 1 a.m., according to sources.

“This was a misunderstanding on one person’s part. Alec was quickly released from the hospital; he’s completely fine and will be at work today,” said Baldwin's spokesman Matthew Hiltzik.

Is that the same Alec Baldwin that moved out of the country when Bush was elected,,,,,,oh wait,,,,,,

[Dewey Revoltnow]

Dumbass is still abusing his daughter.

Yeah- oh wait. He lied about that. He never left. Heck he did not even check to see how much better life would be (for us at least) if he went.

I feel sorry for his daughter, if she doesn't end up in the looney bin it'll be a miracle. Didn't have a chance.

She should have brought him a glass of water and wished him a good long sleep. But kids love their parents no matter how mistreated they are. Very sad.

He sounds like a child who never grew up. I think a lot of actors and actresses are like that. The world revolves around them and everyone else is just props and extras.

[rejoicing]

He should be prevented from having any contact w/his daughter. He’s nothing but child-abusing scum!

[albie]

Just don’t take more than 30 Alec!!

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Baldwin never swallowed sleeping pills and had only threatened to do so.

He's a liberal. It's the intent that counts.

[Kartographer]

Sounds like a very sane man from whom we could all learn a lesson from on how to run our private and political lives. (sarc)

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Put those sleeping pills down. Sleeping pills are for closers!

[stuartcr]

Did he admit that, or is that just the daughters story? Maybe she was just messing with him?

Bringing up Father.

[WOBBLY BOB]

he never closed on the moving to Canada deal.

A horribly toxic relationship - I feel sorry for them all, ok maybe not him - he’s a douche

Alex, I hope you don’t fail next time.

[RinaseaofDs]

The guy is a great actor, and a very funny guy. He also comes from pretty good stock. I hope the guy can work out his issues and find some sort of peace.

Yup, I know - he’s a raging moonbat. That notwithstanding, he’s also a very, very talented guy.

[kaizen]

This guy is an a$$hat of the first degree. Child Services should be called and remove him from accessing his kid.
