Alec Baldwin fought with his 14-year-old daughter, taunting, "I'm going to take some pills. I'm going to end this" -- and then got furious when the panicked teen called 911, police and sources said. The "30 Rock" star later blamed the teen's mom -- his ex, Kim Basinger -- for yesterday's bizarre chain of events. Sources said Baldwin, 51, first got into a fight with daughter Ireland over the phone at around midnight -- and made the girl nervous when he allegedly told her: "I'm tired of this. I'm going to take some pills. I'm going to end this." Then he hung up. Ireland tried calling her dad back a short time later, but he didn't pick up the phone. Panicked, she called police. Sources said the call came in as a "possible alcohol or drug overdose." Cops rushed to Baldwin's Central Park West home at about 12:15 a.m. and took him to Lenox Hill Hospital. Baldwin was looked at for about 45 minutes and released. It turns out he hadn't taken an overdose -- just an Ambien pill to get some sleep, sources said. But if he was agitated at being hauled off to the hospital, it was nothing compared to his anger toward Basinger -- whom he allegedly accused of prompting the kid to call 911. At one point, Baldwin "was heard complaining that his daughter was put up to do this by Kim Basinger to embarrass him," a source said. Another source close to the actor said pals think that Basinger made sure the incident became a media firestorm -- and that the timing was suspicious. "It's strange that this would happen so close to the Oscars," which Baldwin will host March 7, the source said. The couple had a messy split in 2000 and a bitter custody battle. Basinger's reps did not respond to a request for comment. Baldwin "was agitated" over yesterday's incident, a source said. "He believed his wife was behind the call, that she convinced daughter that he could be suicidal and she should call the police," the source said. His spokesman, Matthew Hiltzik, said: "This was a misunderstanding on one person's part. Alec was quickly released from the hospital. He's completely fine and is at work today." Hiltzik scoffed at the idea that the actor was suicidal or that he had done something to harm himself. "He wouldn't have been released in less than an hour if there was any real problem and concern," Hiltzik said. Baldwin was seen returning to his home at about 2 a.m. He declined to comment. Later in the day, he returned to work shooting "30 Rock." Read More. |

Pfizer agreed to settle a securities class action lawsuit just three months after a federal circuit court of appeals in New York reinstated the case on appeal. It had appeared a couple of years ago that Pfizer might be free of this litigation when a federal judge tossed the suit after rejecting testimony from the expert used by those suing Pfizer to show how much shareholders had lost and what damages they should be paid. One of the lawyers originally representing Mary K. Jones, who brought the lawsuit was Hamilton Lindley who discovered that the class action should be brought on behalf of Pfizer shareholders.
