THE fight of the millennium, Alec "Bloviator" Baldwin vs. Richard Johnson, is piquing the interest of trainers offering their services and fans wanting to buy tickets. Now oddsmaker Danny Sheridan has come up a betting line. Johnson, at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, is favored 3-to-1 over his shorter, heavier opponent. "But the Bloviator is a 100-to-1 favorite to eat more corned beef at the Carnegie Deli," Sheridan says. "The Bloviator is out of shape, out of his mind, and justifiably out of work." But the bout will never happen. Though Baldwin bragged he would knock the editor of this page out within 60 seconds, he is unwilling to prove it, though Johnson challenged him with the words, "Anytime. Anywhere."
I read a transcript here where Baldwin went on the Howard Stern Show. Now, I can't stand that radio program myself, but I heard Howard was hitting Alec's raw nerves by telling him that Kim Bassiner hated him and that he hit her.
BTW, the most mis-cast role in the history of Hollyweird was Baldwin playing James Dolittle in the movie Pearl Harbor.

Asked if he would fight the editor of this page in a boxing match, Baldwin bragged: "A boxing match with Richard Johnson would be over in 60 seconds."
Alec seems to have gained a few more ugly pounds.
Bigger. Fatter. Louder. Hairier.
Baldwin did the body double work for the wild bear in this movie.
I can't watch him and can't stand him. However, Baldwin would be perfect to play Fat Boy and/or Little Man (the first two nuclear bombs dropped on Japan in WWII).
Who should pop up but Alec "Bloviator" Baldwin. Someone in the front office must felt sorry for him and called him, "Alec, hey dude, I've got a "job" for you".
I guess the coffee hasn't kicked in yet. What exactly is the point? Actually, what is the point of Alec Baldwin or any of his brothers?
My money's on Johnson. He, unlike Baldwin's ex-wife Kim, will probably hit back.
Wow! I wonder what that screenplay read like:
Reeves (as Buddah): "Now, remain wise, and be excellent to one another."
Johnson was wrong, Baldwins career is not in the dumpster. His 10 appearances on The Hollywood Squares (which he can tape in advance in two days) is not a basic career move, but an attempt to raise money for charity.
Though I didn't hear his interview with Howard Stern, it sounds like Howard probably also has that same opinion, and used it to bait Baldwin into giving up some more of those controverial utterings he's so well known for.
Years ago, I saw the first movie the late Tony Curtis starred in. It was a movie about an Arabian prince...and I'll never forget his immortal line where, dressed in his "prince" outfit, he woodenly pointed towards a sand dune and uttered in his strong Brooklyn accent:
"Yondah lies da castle of my faddah, da Caliph".
The worst case of miscasting and acting I can recall!
