Baldwin Hospital Visit over Suicide?

Reports are coming out today that Alec Baldwin’s rush to the hospital was sparked by a threat of suicide by pills. Baldwins teenage daughter called 911 yesterday after fighting with her dad:

“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.

He was watched and checked at the hospital after his arrival and it turns out that he hadn’t overdosed on pills, but had taken an Ambien so that he could get some sleep. Sources also say that he has been fighting with ex-wife Kim Bassinger.

Alec Baldwin Rushed to Hospital - OK

Alec Baldwin ended up in a New York hospital after a caller believed to be his 14-year-old daughter, Ireland, summoned 911 to the 30 Rock Emmy winner’s West Side Manhattan apartment, WNBC News reported early Thursday morning.

The caller was concerned for Baldwin’s health because the actor, 51, was “unresponsive,” according to the Today in New York report. When police and medics arrived at Baldwin’s Central Park West apartment, he agreed to be taken to the hospital.

Baldwin was examined at Lenox Hill Hospital, where he remained for more than an hour before being released, said the TV report, which describes the status of his condition as unclear.

Reps for Baldwin and the hospital could not be reached for comment.

Gary Coleman Penis to Star in New Film

Poor Gary Coleman. He tries to break up a locker room fight on camera, he gets his private parts captured on film for the world to see.

Coleman then flies to Los Angeles to prevent the footage from airing, and he ends up in the hospital after an apparent seizure.

Now comes even more headaches for the onetime “Diff’rent Strokes” megastar: Less than a day after getting out of the hospital, Coleman has learned that the footage of his penis will be going public whether he likes it or not.

The Coleman movie in question is called “Midgets vs. Mascots,” and it’s just that — a documentary about little people like Coleman taking on mascots in a “Jackass”-style competition for a million-dollar prize.

Gary times four In one sequence, Coleman apparently tries to break up a locker-room fight. His robe flies open, briefly revealing his Arnold Jackson in full. Coleman didn’t want the scene in the movie, and he flew to Los Angeles to meet with the film producers — an outfit called RCMVM — to get it, er, cut.

Not going to happen says the Producers.
