Alec Baldwin returned to Saturday Night Live as Fox News anchor Bret Baier during the show’s cold open, which spoofed the testy interview with Kamala Harris (Maya Rudolph). “When I interviewed President Trump, my first question was, what do you think is the most important issue facing our nation? So my first question for you is, give me the exact number of murderers you let loose in this country?” Baier asks the vice president. However, as Harris attempts to answer, the Special Report with Bret Baier host continues to interrupt her, similar to his real interview with the vice president...

Alec Baldwin refuses to turn his phone over to investigators, who have a warrant to seize it. They believe it could provide evidence clarifying the chain of events that led to the shooting death of a cinematographer on the set of the film “Rust” in New Mexico in October. And yet, in a video the actor posted to Instagram, he’s “demanding” law enforcement “honor the death” of the cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, by finding out “the truth.” Which, presumably, isn’t on his phone. The Instagram video came after a Friday New York Post report in which legal experts contacted by the...

It's been a rough week for Alec Baldwin. The former Trump impersonator gave a questionable interview with ABC News, claiming he wasn't responsible for the gun that went off in his hand and killed a cinematographer. He deleted his Twitter account. And at some point in the middle, the District Attorney investigating what happened on the set of the Baldwin-produced movie Rust said that Baldwin is NOT in the clear. That's contrary to what Baldwin told ABC News. Obviously, the stress has gotten to him. When the New York Post's Jon Levin asked him how it was going, Baldwin freaked...

The gun had to be loaded with...

-snip- In a pretty direct response to the actor/producer’s numerous and highly emotional assertions last night on ABC to George Stephanopoulos, First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies said Friday that “certain individuals may be criminally culpable for his/her actions and/or inactions on the set of Rust.” -snip- The remarks by Carmack-Altwies were not altogether unexpected as Deadline has heard from a number of New Mexico sources that Santa Fe law enforcement were very unhappy with Baldwin once again speaking to media. “Interviewed immediately after the shooting and subsequently by the Sheriff’s Office, the Emmy winner has been asked to not...
