Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer convicted in the tragic on-set shooting death of a cinematographer during the filming of Alec Baldwin’s film "Rust," has been released from a New Mexico prison. Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in March 2024 for her role in the incident, where a live round discharged from a prop gun that Baldwin was handling in 2021. The shooting also injured director Joel Souza. The "Rust" armorer has an appeal of the conviction pending in a higher court. Jurors acquitted her of allegations she tampered with evidence in the "Rust" investigation. She was released from the...

Former California Assemblymember Evan Low used his technology-focused nonprofit to pay actor Alec Baldwin more than $227,000 to appear at a tech event and a separate fundraiser for Low, then deliberately tried to conceal the payments, the California Fair Political Practices Commission determined in a filing released Friday. The agency charged with enforcing California’s campaign finance laws charged Low with 18 violations, including failing to report the payments on time and poor recordkeeping. As part of a settlement with the agency, Low and his political committee have agreed to pay a $106,000 fine. Low, his attorney Amber Maltbie and an...

OMG, this is great! A Trump impersonator made Trump Deranged psychopath Alec Baldwin completely unhinged on the streets of New York City.

Hollywood star Alec Baldwin called Americans “very uninformed” about the realities of climate change, the war in Ukraine, and other globalist issues, saying their lack of knowledge is deliberate and willful. “Americans have an appetite for a little bit of information,” he said. In a press conference this week at the Torino Film Festival in Italy, Alec Baldwin also blamed the American TV news industry, arguing news outlets operate as businesses — seemingly implying they don’t necessarily have the best interests of their viewers in mind.

Alec Baldwin believes that Americans have a misunderstanding of the world's most pressing problems. The reason for this, he explained at a recent event, is that they're uneducated and led astray by the mass media. The 66-year-old "Rust" actor, this year's recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Torino Film Festival in northern Italy, commented on the media's influence in reporting news.

"You know what's going on from the news, but information in America is driven by money. It's a business," Alec Baldwin begins at the Turin Film Festival, where he is the recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award. "That's why there's a void in information on the biggest issues in the world. Americans know little or nothing - on climate change, on Ukraine. That void is filled in part by the film industry, by documentaries and narrative films."

Charges against Alec Baldwin have been dropped in the fatal on-set "Rust" shooting, according to sources familiar with the matter. Baldwin, 65, had been charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter after fatally shooting cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42, on the New Mexico set of the Western in October 2021.

Alec Baldwin responded to the lawsuits seeking to hold him accountable for last year’s fatal shooting on the set of the indie western Rust, claiming he is being targeted because he is wealthy. The Boss Baby and Saturday Night Live star made the comments during a public event at the Boulder International Film Festival in Colorado on Saturday. “What you have is a certain group of people, litigants and whatever, on whatever side, who their attitude is, ‘well the people who likely seem negligent have no money and the people who have money are not negligent,’ ” Baldwin said, according...

Actor Alec Baldwin told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that he cocked the gun that fatally shot the cinematographer for his unfinished film Rust — but insisted that he did not pull the trigger. Halyna Hutchins was killed and director Joel Souza was wounded in the October 21, 2021, shooting incident. The first part of Stephanopoulos’ interview with Baldwin aired Thursday, and a new preview clip aired Friday morning on Good Morning America. USA Today quoted Baldwin recounting the fatal moment. Baldwin said, “I’m holding the gun where she [Hutchins] told me to hold it.” He added, “In the scene [being...

Alec Baldwin did not do himself any favors on Tuesday when he shared an angry post from a crewmember from the set of the film “Rust,” where he fatally shot and killed a cinematographer in an incident that is still being investigated by police — and scrutinized by the public. In seven Instagram posts, the actor shared a lengthy tirade from Terese Magpale Davis, who worked in the film’s wardrobe department. (Apparently the 63-year-old Baldwin doesn’t know how to select multiple images for one post, which Instagram users can easily do.) “Read this,” he captioned the first post, which included...

Sometimes, you just need Texas. As the rest of the entertainment industry was being brought to its knees by the threat of more hacking and terrorism, a theater in Texas decided to both capitalize on this story and stand up for freedom of speech. The only bummer is they’re holding a free screening, as I’d hoped they’d rake in a bunch of cash for filling a gap in the market, which would be as appropriately American as the statement they’re making about our values. They should be rewarded, and they will be, at least with brand recognition and good will:...

Alec Baldwin Sees Link Between Global Warming and War in Iraq Posted by Noel Sheppard on January 9, 2007 - 23:22. Actor Alec Baldwin -- since he woke up one morning believing that he understood politics and had an opinion that American’s would be interested in hearing -- has said and written a lot of absurd things. His recent rant at HuffnPuff has to rank high on his growing list of most inane. Please take a seat, and secure all fluids. You’ve been warned (emphasis mine throughout): All around us are signs of global climate change. And this administration's response is to send...
