Alec Baldwin Fired? MSNBC Cancels ‘Up Late’

MSNBC has canceled Alec Baldwin’s Friday night show after suspending its host for two weeks. Baldwin got into a verbal altercation with a paparazzi, reportedly calling him a “c*cksucking fag.” Baldwin first denied the slur, claiming he had said “fathead.”

In, “Pack your bags, Alec! MSNBC fires Baldwin over anti-gay slurs,” the New York Post’s gossipy Page Six claims that MSNBC’s parent company Comcast made the decision today, and there were other reasons as well.

...

Besides demanding a humidifier because he claimed the air at 30 Rock was too dry, Baldwin alienated staffers when he demanded a separate makeup room being used by a woman with cancer who is sensitive to hairspray.

When Baldwin was told he couldn’t have his way, he allegedly bellowed at the top of his lungs, “I don’t give a f - - k if she has cancer or not, I want that f - - king makeup room.”

Well, he won't be needing that make up room, now, will he?

Nor will he need to be UP LATE, I suppose!

He supports liberal causes, but apparently his mouth doesn't go along with his wallet all the time.

Oh well...live and learn, AB!

A good progressive and talented actor, but clearly has ego/anger/homophobia issues.
