Yesterday, Alec Baldwin punched a photographer in the face after being spotted leaving the Marriage License Bureau in New York and, like a rage-filled idiot, did it in front of other photographers while looking like the goddamn Hulk with rabies. Considering this wasn’t a first for him, the smart thing to do would’ve been to let the whole thing blow over, but Alec Baldwin is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Scotch, so here he is walking around New York with a blanket over his head last night which really showed those “scum” paparazzi. There’s no way these photos won’t be worth more than just boring, old Alec Baldwin taking a stroll. Ghosts always walk around Manhattan.
In the meantime, huge thanks to JC for being the only person to point this out yesterday:
The sweet, sweet irony of people commenting about how paps are scum of the Earth while frequenting a website that features photos taken by paps is delicious.
WHERE DO YOU THINK I GET MY PICTURES FROM? You can’t stroll into the comments and puff your chest like Tommy Toughnuts about how you’d punch the paparazzi in the face, too, because those bastards “have it coming” when every single time you click on this site, or Us Weekly, TMZ, etc., you create a demand that allows them to exist. The Superficial is all about lambasting the ridiculousness of celebrity worship, yet for some reason when it comes to them bitching about how hard it is making millions of dollars in exchange for sometimes having their picture taken coming out of Starbucks, the comments load up with blustering Bill O’Reillys pulling out the pitchforks and saying that beating the shit out of an average Joe just trying to make a living should be legal. Except I’m being way too complex here, so let me bottom line it for you: The paparazzi bring you boob photos. They take pictures of boobs. You can start with the apologies and calling them heroes now.

Alec’s new ‘Ghostbusters’ movie looks really low budget.
Like a million times
Man, paps are the scum of the Earth!
Fish sucks too. What gives him the right to make fun of all these celebs?
Now excuse me, I have to go try to make some comments for “Most Important People.”
IMO when they shove cameras up a unwilling woman’s skirt* or take snaps of a celebrity’s underaged child then yes, that qualifies them as earth scum and an ass whupping is totally justified.
*Kardashians & Lohans actually like the upskirt assaults, since it fits in with their philosophy of “All media attention is good” so go get ‘em
Its a product versus process issue. We like the product, but don’t always agree with the process, like harassing children or deliberately provoking a celeb in hopes of getting a particular shot. Look at the lens on the camera of the ‘assaulted’ photographer, its huge! Why would he need to get up in Alec’s face to get a photo, he could be across the street and still get a good shot.
Usually this look wouldn’be be complete without a nice burning cross in the background.
The paps aren’t assholes because they take pics of celebrities, they’re assholes because they take pics of Alec Baldwin…I mean seriously.
That settles it, Alec Baldwin is fucking awesome !
- Alec Baldwin is an asshole
- I wanna see Alec Baldwin be irritated.
- Paps are assholes (especially papping kids, families).
- I like looking at pap pix.
- I want paps to get their asses kicked, cameras tossed routinely.
All the above are separate issues.
No, they’re really not
To be fair, JC, you can dislike something but still get enjoyment out of it. McDonald’s is horribly bad for you, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to eat it.
Besides, some of us don’t even read/comment on the paparazzi posts. The Superficial posts more than just pap shots – new songs, what celebrities are fighting on Twitter, movie reviews, general celebrity news that has nothing to do with photos (ie. Carrie Underwood’s support for gay marriage).
THAT’S why people can come on this site and complain about paparazzi. Because this site isn’t all about paparazzi photos.
To be fair, Mandy, your analogy doesn’t work. Say you enjoy McDonald’s, even though it’s bad for you. But in that case, you’re enjoying something that basically only hurts you and your arteries. Fine. But if you like looking at paps’ photos while thinking it’s bad, you’re liking something that allegedly hurts somebody else, i.e., celebrities.
Don’t get me wrong–I’m probably as big a hypocrite as the next douchebag. I just can’t get past the idea that we, the public, are somehow blameless for gawking at the pictures but not taking the pictures ourselves.
“Well we wouldn’t be distributing heroin if there wasn’t a demand for it”.
This is what Alec gets for asking Lady Gaga for styling tips.
Are you kidding? This is perfect! You could run up, punch him in the gob and run away with zero chance he could pick you out of a lineup.
Looks like someone just figured out his summer vacation plans!
This is ‘merica, bitch, im gonna complain, contradict myself, fail to recognize my own hypocrisy, and I’m sooooo gonna blather and pontificate like a fucking idiot.
if you don’t like it, then fuck you, terrorist.
Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave, o’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave!
Now where can I find upskirt pics and shots of Kate Hudson bending over in yoga pants? If I don’t get my daily fix of pics of some decent looking celebrities flashing their cooch getting out of their car, it’s like we might as well have surrendered to al qaida already!
I for one have had it up to HERE with all these unwarranted pap smears.
Maybe you should ask for a shorter swab.
Poor Alec. All he got was a rock.
FTW! Well done Charlie Brown.
Look! Blanket is all grown up!

Talk about irony…”you create a demand that allows them to exist. The Superficial is all about lambasting the ridiculousness of celebrity worship, yet for some reason when it comes to them bitching about how hard it is making millions of dollars in exchange for sometimes having their picture taken coming out of Starbucks…”
So poor you, bitching about making all kinds of money from filling our “demand” and occasionally having to read a poster’s comment about how paps are obnoxious bottom feeders. Actors chose that life and so did you. Deal with it brother.
I’ll create a blog and you guys can bitch at me for everything I do/post/don’t do if I get to sit in my pjs and look at bikini clad celebs, all while eating bowls of Lucky Charms from the ass crease in my couch. You will get no complaints from me. This is my solemn vow.
is he trying to pick up liam neeson?
Seems like your post hit a nerve:) It seems we don’t like to equated with paps … no we are completely different – we come here for the movie reviews. How many have their been? 2? Definitely not for the pics. No we work real hard at our jobs all day – where we never have time to look at thesuperfiicial and comment on posts – God you are so lazy! I mean there is a post before I get up and then you quit at 5 pm every day and you don’t even work on the weekend. Damm it’s like you don’t take your job seriously — only 40 hours a week. We need our booby pics 24/7. Yeah poor sweet innocent readers/commentors us … we are not to blame for the upskirts and the pap abuse of actors, and the actor abuse of paps. OMG I’m so procrastinating — JFC this is why I never get anything done. It must be your fault!
You make a good point about creating demand for this BS, but you make me laugh, so whatever. I use adblock to block all the bs adverts on your site, so I’m not supporting squat, just enjoying a chuckle at the expense of celebrities for free
Alec, this is why it’s important to stay on your meds.
this is too funny
hahahaha
:)
2 multi-million dollar businesses’ commercials poke fun at his “Words with Friends” debacle. Hollywood and the celeb-puke like A-lick have grown (in many cases literally) larger and possess more societal persuasion than our land’s rules, law, law makers and regulations.
I learned everything I know from Michael Savage.
He has a doctorate, you know?
Very astute comment. It’s odd how few have picked up on corporate America yukking up his behavior using our airwaves. No wonder little fiends are yukking it up attacking a memaw on the school bus. Subtle brainwashing is spooky.
In every picture , there’s always an old lady in a wheelchair saying it all with her eyes
That wheelchair lady looks pissed that Alec stole her blanket.
“Tommy Toughnuts”?
LMAO.
Fuck I love this site.
Being Superficial means you never have to say you have TMZ.
I love Alec Baldwin too. And Charlie Sheen. And Fish
And boobs and butts.
But show me their butts and I’m leaving.
I had to come out of comment retirement just to say what a spoiled, overpaid,arrogant, pompous, cradle-robbing, blowhard, child abusing (verbal) liberal fucktard Alec Baldwin is.
While we understand that they perform a service that many people get some form of joy out of, we do not care for their well-being. Much like prostitutes.
His new trophy needs to RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!
It’s true, there is a curiosity with the photos, that creates demand and enables paps to make a living. However, paps can sometimes be very aggressive, and make people feel unsafe, and that they may need to defend themselves. It true that the complaints are sometimes unwarranted, and let’s be honest – some celebs use the paps to help their careers as much as the paps use them…but when the paps get so hungry for a shot that they lose control and become so aggressive that it makes those around them feel afraid for their safety, then that’s not cool. I’ve been at The Grove, when a bunch of them swarmed past to get photos of someone, and it was weird – and a little frightening, frankly. They just pushed past people, and were so focused on their goal that they had no regard for anyone, and someone could have gotten hurt…..
Thanks for the butts. They made my day.
Quick, someone punch him in the face!
Right, so when a celebrity gets tired of paps trolling them and loses their cool, they are “rage-filled idiots,” but when paps troll celebrities and give them a hard time, they’re just doing their jobs?
You’re an idiot.
He is not an animal.
If Charlie Sheen can’t remember what the hell he meant about tiger blood and Adonis DNA, maybe Alec can refresh his memory…
I didn’t know Robert Byrd was still alive. Those Dems and their Klan outfits, you just can’t separate them.
Bitches just love bitching about bitches. That covers it.
I think he’s just in character for a Rodney King bio-pic.
There are good paps and bad paps. The good ones should make the bad ones magically disappear without a trace.
Fuckig A, Fish, you rock out with your cock out again! VERY well said, and if they haven’t done one already, Bud needs to make a “Real American Heros” commercial for the unsung harworking pap!
I’m pretty sure he is just looking for ways he and Geena Davis can scare “the living” out of their house, you guys.

That’s hilaria!!! (geddit?)
shoot more boobs less alec
the daily news guy had a very short wide angle lens, its a16mm-35mm i think, he had to get very close to get a picture,
its always best to keep your distance from a shark, or the shark may bit your leg off.
