Alec Baldwin's "Coffee is for Closers" Speech

While we would never comment on a stranger's parenting techniques, we, along with many, bristled at hearing Alec Baldwin call his young daughter a pig in this day and age of girls and women obsessing over their bodies, etc., sometimes to fatal conclusions.

And even though most of the tirade was a victim rant about how she had injured him somehow by not being available to take his phone call, we do applaud him for at least wanting to teach his little angel a lesson. How many of Hollywood's young seem to have learned nothing from their parents other than how to spend money and spread their legs?

These are different times. When we were young it wasn't rare to see someone's mom poke her head outside and yell for their sons or daughters to come home for dinner. Today kids have cell phones. They should pick up when it rings, if that's the agreement.

And if they don't, and their father is a talented actor whose most memorable moment was ripping Jack Lemon a new one via David Mamet, then voicemail recordings like the one that was leaked this week shouldn't be that much of a surprise.

Nor are we not surprised that the star doesn't know how old his daughter is while he disses his ex-wife in the message, after the jump...
