**Exclusive**

Alec Baldwin has taped an interview with Rosie O'Donnell for ABC's VIEW, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

O'Donnell told the studio audience off camera that this will be the actor's only interview.

"He is leaving the country," O'Donnell told a stunned audience, says a source. [It was not clear if it was for vacation or an extended period of time.]

She said she advised Baldwin against doing the interview.

During the session, Baldwin apologized for his tirade against his daughter.

He also explained how he wants out of the TV business:

"I have been in the business for over 27 years and I don't care if I do anything else in TV ever again."

Baldwin left CREATIVE ARTISTS AGENCY on Monday. No reason for the split was provided.

Alec Baldwin is a talented entertainer. In Medieval days, entertainers were more appropriately called jesters or fools. This web page describes how one became a fool and entertained back in the day.  Below is an excerpt:

The recruiting of jesters was tremendously informal and meritocratic, perhaps indicating greater mobility and fluidity in past society than is often supposed. A man with the right qualifications might be found anywhere: in Russia "they were generally selected from among the older and uglier of the serf-servants, and the older the fool or she-fool was, the droller they were supposed and expected to be. The fool had the right to sit at table with his master, and say whatever came into his head." Noblemen might keep an eye out for potential jesters, and a letter dated 26 January 1535/36 from Thomas Bedyll to Thomas Cromwell (ca. 1485-1540) recommends a possible replacement for the king's old jester:

Ye know the Kinges grace hath one old fole: Sexten as good as myght be whiche because of aige is not like to cotinew.
I haue spied one yong fole at Croland whiche in myne opinion shalbe muche mor pleasaunt than euer
Sexten was . . . and he is not past xv yere old.

So here is to the fools we have today. It seems they believe they still have the right to sit at the table with the master and say whatever comes into his or her head.

I hope the prize is something good? LOL!

I know everyone loves to pile on, but he is one of the better actors in the world.

Well considering most of the roles he plays are jerks (see Glengarry Glen Ross), I don't really consider that "acting" in his case.

personally, I hope his tits fall off.

Just for you-

He recently scared one of his co-stars into quitting by punching a hole in a wall because of an argument over the air conditioning.

That would work LOL!

I think you mean this:

Apparently she didn't like him before the wall was punched either. People and personalities can clash.

Alec, can you take Sheryl Crow with you? Yeah, go share a square!

[LibWhacker]

Love to know where he’s going. France is probably the best fit since they hate America almost as much as he does and he can maintain his high standard of living there. But it’s kind of risky for the french; one public outburst from him and the entire country would lose face cowering to him.

In Hollywood, you can get away with a lot...rehab, prostitutes, brushes with the law...

But women will NOT forgive or forget this. Ever.

"We still watch them if the show (or movie) is good"

Not me - I try to keep a personal boycott of scumbags like Alec Baldwin...... but it is getting hard to avoid all the scumbags out there..... :^)
