Alec Baldwin Gets Pissed Off In The Hamptons


Alec Baldwin got very angry this morning in the Hamptons, and there was an immediate show of force from the local police department.

A close friend of Baldwin said Alec was in the park with his wife Hilaria and their baby when a paparazzo approached them. According to the friend, Baldwin has some history with the photog -- he's allegedly called Hilaria a bitch and a whore in the past -- which is why Alec immediately got so angry.

A cop who was nearby tried to calm things down, but felt he needed backup ... it was Alec Baldwin, after all.

We're told one of the responding officers successfully cooled down the situation -- and even got Alec and the photog to shake hands before they walked away.

Box Office: 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Leads With $16.3M And Is Now 2014’s #1 Film


Guardians of the Galaxy” became the year’s highest grossing U.S. release this weekend, goosing an otherwise drab Labor Day box office.

The Marvel film topped the domestic charts for the third time and benefited from crowds hoping to stretch out the waning days of summer, grossing $16.3 million over the Friday, Saturday and Sunday period and pushing its U.S. total to $274.6 million. It will likely end the four-day holiday with $21.2 million in Stateside ticket sales from 3,462 locations.

That easily tops a pair of new wide releases, “November Man” and “As Above, So Below,” which brought in $7.7 million and $8.3 million respectively — modest numbers for modest to low budgeted films with much to be modest about.

Joan Rivers Remains Unconscious as Celebrity Friends Send Prayers


Joan Rivers remains unconscious since being rushed to a New York hospital on Thursday morning, according to ABC News.

The comedian is reportedly on life support. She was placed in a medically-induced coma at Mount Sinai Hospital after going into cardiac arrest during a endoscopy at a clinic. She is said to have stopped breathing during the routine procedure.

Her daughter Melissa Rivers released a statement on Friday stressing that her mother’s condition remained serious.

“My mother would be so touched by the tributes and prayers that we have received from around the world,” the statement read. “Her condition remains serious but she is receiving the best treatment and care possible. We ask that you continue to keep her in your thoughts as we pray for her recovery.”

According to TMZ, the Rivers family is hopeful that the 81-year-old will take a turn for the better, even if they decide to turn off life support.

Celebrities including her “Fashion Police” co-hosts Giuliana Rancic and Kelly Osbourne, talkshow hosts Ellen DeGeneres and Kelly Ripa, and actors Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Charlie Sheen have taken to Twitter to wish the legendary comic a speedy recovery.

Jewel Shows Off Bikini Bod In The Bahamas


Jewel took to Instagram on Friday to flaunt her super-slim beach bod, showing off her killer curves in a tiny red two-piece.

"Just another day at the beach #concertinthebahamas," she captioned the sexy snap.

The singer is set to play at the Atlantis as part of the Paradise Music Festival on Saturday.

The 40-year-old beauty, who recently split with husband Ty Murray, clearly has been working hard on her body. So, how does she stay in shape?

"I try to stay away from an all-or-nothing mentality when it comes to food. It's like a pendulum: The more extreme I am--like saying, 'I'm not going to eat any carbs'--the further it's going to swing to the other side and I'm going to binge," she told Shape back in 2010.

"My dad sends me fresh salmon and halibut from Alaska as well as dried nettles, which I like to put into soups," she added. "I also eat a lot of raw vegetables or bitter greens, like kale and dandelion greens, lightly sautéed in olive oil. People are so fat-phobic these days, but eating good fats is important, which is why I always try to get some olive oil, coconut oil, and avocado into whatever I'm making."

Madonna Slams Lady Gaga In Nasty New Song Lyrics, Calls Her A "Copycat" And A "Wannabe"


Madonna has made it quite clear that she's not a fan of Lady Gaga, and a leaked track from her new album shows that she's still bitter about the much younger pop star's continued success.

The lyrics for Madge's new tune "Two Steps Behind Me" surfaced online the other day, and the 56-year-old singer puts Gaga on full blast, accusing her of imitating her signature style. Madonna sings:

    "You're a copycat, where is my royalty? / You're a pretty girl, I'll give you that / But stealing my recipe, it's an ugly look / Did you study me hard enough? / You're never gonna be, you're just a wannabe me / Like a sister all messed-up, who's gonna help you out? / In your fantasy, you can try it all / But you can't be me / You can walk the walk, even talk the talk / But you'll always be two steps behind me."

It's not confirmed whether the track will make the final cut, but a source tells The Sun that it's definitely about Gaga. "They're very harsh lyrics, but Madonna really wants to express herself again," the insider says.

Express herself? More like make herself look like a desperate and jealous old witch! "Gaga's going to be mortified," the snitch continued. "I'm hearing Madonna may well drop the first of the tracks as soon as November, much earlier than expected."

Stephen Hawking Delivers The Most Heartwarming ‘Ice Bucket Challenge’ Video Yet


No one is more aware of how hard it is to live with ALS than Stephen Hawking, the world’s most famous physicist who has been suffering from an ALS-related condition for decades now. Because of this, we knew it was only a matter of time before we saw Hawking pop up in an “Ice Bucket Challenge” video of his own to help raise funds for finding a cure for ALS.

Unfortunately, Hawking said that he couldn’t take the Ice Bucket Challenge himself because he had pneumonia last year. However, he did recruit his three children Robert, Lucy and Tim to take the challenge on his behalf, and sure enough, they all enjoyed the wonderful sensation of having cold water dumped on their heads. Hawking also urged everyone who watched the video to donate money to the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) to help fund research into finding a cure for the disease.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Are Finally Married


Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have finally tied the knot. And they kept the nuptials a complete secret until today.

The wedding took place Saturday in a small chapel on the property of their sprawling Provencal estate, Chateau Miraval, in France. The nondenominational civil ceremony was witnessed by family and friends — and, yes, their six children took part in the wedding. Maddox and Pax walked Jolie down the aisle, Zahara and Vivienne threw petals, and Shiloh and Knox were ring bearers for the union, which was "very much a family affair."

In advance of the private ceremony, Pitt and Jolie, who have been together since 2005, obtained a marriage license from a judge in their home state of California. The judge then traveled to France to conduct the ceremony. "They are therefore married under Californian law," said the statement.
