ALEC BALDWIN IS DELIGHTFUL

The reason you hear so many stories about Alec Baldwin being a short-tempered maniac is because Alec Baldwin is short-tempered maniac.  As the New York Daily News points out yet again today.

Alec Baldwin turned down Larry King and other interviewers because he wanted to talk first with Diane Sawyer about his divorce memoir, "A Promise to Ourselves." But the "30 Rock" star is said to have turned testy when Sawyer had to reschedule because of husband Mike Nichols' heart surgery."Diane's people couldn't believe how angry Baldwin got," says a source. "She was running back from the hospital!" A friend of Baldwin says, "The interview was rescheduled at least four times. Then the air conditioning wasn't working. Alec was a little annoyed, but not with Diane."

It's no wonder Alec Baldwin is so testy.  He's been driven to the brink of madness but his lifetime of success and million dollar paychecks.  It's really quite heartbreaking.
