Noon: Baldwin, Paparazzi Mix It Up

A photographer with New York tabloid newspaper Daily News accused actor Alec Baldwin of attacking him on Tuesday, but the actor's representative told a different story. Photographer Marc Santos said Baldwin, 54, approached and punched him in the face for taking photographs of Baldwin and his fiancée, Hilaria Thomas, 28, outside New York City's Marriage Bureau, according to a story and photos on the newspaper's website that appeared to show a scuffle between the two men. Baldwin, a star of the TV show "30 Rock" and who also appears in the new "Rock of Ages" movie, posted a series of tweets Tuesday that disagreed with the account, saying, "A 'photographer' almost hit me in the face with his camera this morning"/Reuters.

Question: Am I the only one who thinks Alec Baldwin is a terrific actor and a miserable human being?
