Alec Baldwin gave a valuable lesson in how NOT to use social media last week … and things just went uphill from there. Welcome to my round-up of the week in La-La Land. Ah celebrities, you just keep on giving. Thank you.
>> My most eyebrow-raising gossip moment came yesterday afternoon when Alec Baldwin deleted his Twitter account after being accused of sending messages while attending a memorial service for James Gandolfini.
During the service, Alec tweeted: “The end of The Sopranos has a different meaning to me now. Rest in Peace, Jimmy.” but also a link promoting a new movie called Dirty Wars.
Meanwhile, wife Hilaria posted: “The circle of life is unbelievable – birth, life, death … Please take care of yourselves as life is fragile. Rest in Peace Jimmy” in between tweets asking what she should give Alec for their first wedding anniversary and promos for her upcoming Rachel Ray show appearance.
When called out on it, Hilaria reacted angrily insisting: “FYI I don’t believe in bringing phones into a funeral and I never did and I never would”, while sources said she left the ceremony early because she was feeling faint and tweeted from her car on the way home …
But Alec went absolutely ape about it, posting a series of vicious tweets as per below:
