Ireland Baldwin, 17, was thrust into the spotlight at an early age because of the bizarre antics of her famous parents Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger. Now the aspiring model wants to set the record straight on a few things.

She has posted an open letter on her Tumblr page to address her weight, the sins of her parents and the haters on social media.

“To all of my followers and everyone else out there reading this, I feel that it is time I make a few points very clear. I know a majority of you could care less, but I’d like to take a moment to explain a few things. I get many hateful emails, Twitter replies, and comments on gossip websites about me and my parents. I know what most of you are thinking. “Ireland, just ignore it.” “There are always going to be haters out there.” “Quit being so sensitive.” Yes, you are all correct.”

“Of course I get those comments about how I am too fat to model, how I am not model material, how I am an unattractive girl, how I am too tall, etc. I understand. I don’t look as glamorous as Rosie Huntington Whiteley when leaving the gym. I’m actually really sweaty. Like really sweaty. I understand that I am not a size .008. What I don’t fully understand, is what is the good in commenting on a photo of a 17 year old girl and calling her fat, ugly, etc? Is that helping you in some way? I’m confused.”

“I AM NOT MY PARENTS. My mom is one of the most beautiful woman in the world. She is 5’9, I am 6’2. She is petite and fragile, and I am fit and…. more to love tehe. I have a booty, she has a thigh gap. As she emerged from her teen years, she developed an angular face and striking cheekbones. I am still a teen making my way out of my awkward phase. I am still trying to figure this whole thing out.”

“Just like almost all of you, my Dad has made some mistakes in the past. He has spoken out of place, he has let his temper get the best of him, and he has reacted towards things in ways he shouldn’t have. I get hateful replies and threats regarding mistakes of my Dad’s past. This isn’t fair. I had nothing to do with anything that happened back then, so I don’t fully understand why I am being targeted. More importantly, my Dad has moved on. He recognized that he needed to change, so he made changes. He is now healthy, happily married with a baby on the way. He moved on, so why can’t you?”

“I am not seeking fame by association. I do not want to be simply know as a model. I am proud to be my parent’s daughter, but I don’t want to forever be known as “that rude thoughtless little pig” or ” Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger’s kid.”

Alec Baldwin ‘Very Disappointed’ in Shia LaBeouf

Feb 222013

Citing creative differences, Shia LaBeouf abruptly walked away from the Broadway play ‘Orphans’ earlier this week in what appears to have been a disagreement with co-star Alec Baldwin.

The actor immediately launched a post-Broadway crusade to shed some light on the situation by posting a video of his audition for ‘Orphans’ and screenshots of emails to and from director Daniel Sullivan, playwright Lyle Kessler and Baldwin.

LaBeouf tweeted, “Put my hand thru the door at rehearsals. then apologized to our playwright- this was his response. lesson? PACE.”

He also posted an email from the director referencing Baldwin, “I’m too old for disagreeable situations. You’re one hell of a great actor. Alec is who he is. You are who you are. You two are incompatible. I should have known it.”

Shia then fired off an apology of sorts to the ’30 Rock’ actor, “A man can tell you he was wrong. That he did wrong. That he planned to. He can tell you when he is lost. He can apologize, even if sometimes it’s just to put an end to the bickering. Alec, I’m sorry for my part of a disagreeable situation.”

Baldwin responded, “When the change comes, how do we handle it, whether it be good or bad? What do we learn? I don’t have an unkind word to say about you. You have my word. AB.”

LaBeouf shot back, “Same. Good luck on the play. You’ll be great.”

Publishing the exchange may have made Shia LaBeouf feel better but it apparently didn’t sit well with Alec Baldwin, who is currently having problems of his own with the press and paparazzi on the streets of Manhattan.

Baldwin told the New York Times, “You expect communications to be private, because everyone wants this process to be as collegial as possible. Everyone is very sad about what’s happened. I’m very disappointed.”

The play is schedule to open for previews at the Schoenfeld Theatre in New York on March 19. The production will officially launch on April 7.

Alec Baldwin Threatens Reporter, Flings Racial Slurs at Retired Cop

Actor Alec Baldwin, who has a history of lashing out at reporters and photographers, got into it again Sunday morning while walking his dogs in NYC.

The ’30 Rock’ actor allegedly grabbed the arm of New York Post reporter Tara Palmeri and said, “I want you to choke to death.” Then he hurled a barrage of racial slurs at her photographer.

The reporter approached Baldwin and asked him about the recent lawsuit that was filed against his yoga teacher wife Hilaria Baldwin. Palmeri claims he grabbed her arm and said, “I want to choke you to death.”

As for the photographer, G.N. Miller, it turns out he is a decorated retired NYPD detective who wasn’t amused when Baldwin bumped him in the chest and called him, “a coon,” “crackhead” “ex jailhouse paparazzi” and “drug dealer.” When he flashed his badge, Baldwin called it “fake” and continued to fling derogatory slurs at Miller.

Palmeri recorded the conversation and played the audio for police while she and her photographer were filing a criminal complaint.

Baldwin tried to do damage control on Twitter, “Thank u 2 NYPD officers who came to my home 2day so that I could file a formal complaint against NY Post ‘photographer’ who assaulted me.”

The actor has a history of combative behavior. His last encounter was a June 2012 shoving match and verbal altercation with a New York Daily News photographer that occurred when Baldwin and his fiancee were getting their marriage license.

Alec’s spokesman, Matthew Hiltzik, called Miller’s accusations “completely false.” He also added a direct quote from Baldwin, “That’s one of the most outrageous things I’ve heard in my life.”

Actor Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Thomas Baldwin recently announced they are expecting a child later this year. In other news, the mother-to-be stands accused of negligent business practices.

Hilary, a yoga instructor at Yoga Vida since 2005, has been named in a lawsuit filed by Spencer Wolff, who claims to have suffered serious and severe injuries while participating in one of her yoga class due to “overcrowding” and “negligence.”

Papers have been filed in Manhattan Supreme Court state that during a Jan. 15, 2013 class taught by Hilaria, the 32-year-old Yale student was put in a position of “extreme danger” when the instructor “exceeded a safe and/or maximum allowable number of persons” during an exercise class, with only inches between each mat.

Wolff was executing a handstand when his legs smashed through a window. He reportedly sustained significant injury to his legs from shards of broken glass and was transported via ambulance to a nearby hospital for treatment.

A rep for Yoga Vida has not yet issued a statement concerning the lawsuit.

Alec Baldwin is going to be a father again. The news was confirmed Tuesday by the actor and his pregnant wife, ‘Extra’ lifestyle correspondent Hilaria Thomas Baldwin.

The couple sat down for a TV interview and the mother-to-be gushed, “We’re having a baby! It was a surprise, a wonderful surprise.”

Her ’30 Rock’ husband revealed how he found out, “There’s a scream I heard, which is a scream normally reserved if there’s a spider in the house, not exaggerating. But it was not a spider.”

Hilaria picked up the story, “It was followed by ‘I’m pregnant. I’m pregnant!’ He runs up the stairs and I’m holding the test and showing it to him.”

They decided to make the announcement because she is sporting an obvious baby bump. She admits, “Now, I’m showing, it’s getting to be much more, like ‘OMG this is actually going to happen!’ Now we can start the nursery, the everything, the dreaming.”

Baldwin, 54, began dating the yoga instructor, 26 years his junior, in 2011. They got engaged in April 2012 and exchanged wedding vows two months later at St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral in New York City.

Their baby, her first, is due late this summer. He has an 18-year-old daughter, Ireland Baldwin, born during his marriage to actress Kim Basinger.
