Alec Baldwin is usually such a calm, rational man who handles conflicts with dignity and poise, not to mention the man’s a genius. Which is why I was shocked to read he punched a photographer right in the face just moments after receiving his marriage license. That’s probably a good omen. NY Daily News reports: What’s amazing about this encounter is even as ridiculous as it already sounds, just one look at the NY Daily News photos tells you these guys are playing it down because, holy crap!, does Alec Baldwin look insane. He’s practically hissing at them.
