At the beginning of the month we wrote about Alec Baldwin's potential retirement based on comments he made in Men's Health Magazine but he now wants to clarify that these comments were misconstrued and that he has no intention of retiring anytime soon (phew!), he just wants to do other/additional things. Also on the Alec Baldwin news front, he is gracing the current cover of Wired Magazine (awesome) whose issue is focusing on "fail" and yet once you crack open the mag, they've devoted only a paltry 1/2 page of text to Baldwin, which is, in itself, one big fail.
