Alec Baldwin Gives Rosie O'Donnell Exclusive Interview for "The View"

Troubled actor Alec Baldwin has given an exclusive interview to Rosie O'Donnell and "The View".

Rosie and Baldwin have been in the limelight a lot lately. O'Donnell has announced she will leave "The View" as soon as her contract is up. She reportedly wanted 10 million dollars for one year while they wanted her for three years. O'Donnell has increased the popularity of "The View" with her conspiracy theories, her spat with Donald Trump, and allegations of her being anti-Catholic. Alec Baldwin has been a lightning rod of controversy of late with the release of a voicemail he left on his daughter's phone. His tirade included statements like, "I'm going to let you know just how I feel about what a rude little pig you are. You are a rude thoughtless little pig. I don't give a damn that you're 12 or 11 years old, or that you're a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care about what you do." He left Creative Artists Agency on Monday for reasons unknown to anyone. His blow up has been a hot topic of discussion on talk shows, blogs, and 24 hours news.

Rosie told her audience that this was Baldwin's only interview and she also reported he would be leaving the country for at least a little while. It is believed that she told Baldwin not to do the interview. He once again apologized for comments he made towards his daughter.

Drudge Report found that he said, "I have been in the business for over 27 years and I don't care if I do anything else in TV ever again."

Rosie recently commented on the Baldwin tirade. She said, ""I have to admit I have cursed at my kids sometimes. Honestly, you know, I'm like get the (expletive). He's very much of a tortured father who feels alienated from his own child. When he was doing Broadway he flew out one day a week. He's trying to connect to this kid. (Basinger) defies a lot of court orders for him to visit the child, which I think is making him crazy. Not that that's an excuse. He actually did go to therapy. All the things that Kim asked him to do, he did. He went to anger management. He went to - but if she - (Basinger) defied all the court orders."
