The Irony Report: Alec Baldwin Writing a Parenting Book

I’m a fan of Alec Baldwin — the actor. His ability to deliver a pompous zinger is unsurpassed: “The Founding Fathers never intended the poor to live over 40!“ (That’s true, you know.) His Saturday Night Live appearances always make me chuckle. (“Chuckle” and “SNL” are rarely uttered in the same sentence these days.) Not to mention his chest single-handedly possesses enough inventory to provide Locks of Love with a year’s supply of hairpieces. (Impressive!)
And, yes, parents get fed up and make mistakes sometimes, which could explain the lil’ voicemail he left for his daughter a couple of years ago. You may have heard about it. You know, the one where he called her a pig?
But that doesn’t mean I’m clamoring to read a book of PARENTING TIPS from Alec Baldwin — the short-fused father.
In an interview with the family-friendly magazine, Playboy, the 51-year-old actor says:
It will be ironic for some people, but I’m going to write a parenting book. We’re at, not a crisis, but an awful place right now in terms of parenting. People are raising their children with the belief that we need to be friends with our children. Kids have too much power and call too many of the shots, telling their parents what they will and won’t do.”
That may be true. But I won’t have time to read his parenting wisdom, I’m afraid, because I already have a stack of helpful books to comb through — including “Joe Jackson’s Guide to Sensitive Parenting” and “Heading Up the PTA on LSD” by Courtney Love.

Father of the Week Contender Presents Son with the Gift of a Hooker
May 16, 2009 | Filed Under: In the News | Tags: Father of the Week
A very caring father attempted to help out his virginal 14-year-old son with a gift that, well, really blows: a prostitute. But — surprise! — the hooker they propositioned turned out to be an undercover cop.
Something tells me that’s not exactly how they’d hoped the woman would use the handcuffs.
According to the prosecution, the scene went something like this:
“He pointed at the woman and said, ‘Will she do?’ The boy answered, ‘Yes.’
“He did this as his son was a virgin. The father thought this was taking care of that.” The Polish dad asked the hooker/cop: “Hello, baby. How much for a proper shag for him?”
As he knocked her price down to $30 — talk about a bargain hunter! — Nottingham police officers moved in.
So busted.
After the judge wisely noted: “You have a duty of care towards your son and that is to look after his moral welfare, not to break him in to sex by way of a prostitute” (I believe I’ve seen that on a Hallmark card before?), the married dad, who pled guilty to attempting to deflower a child, got a ten-month suspended jail term with a supervision order.
Seriously, though — a hooker? Whatever happened to the more innocent days when a boy would simply approch his friend’s hot mom?
