Aw-kward...

Filed under: American Idle

Alec Baldwin spent part of last Friday in the ninth circle of Hell - chatting with Barbara Walters and Rosie O'Donnell about the voice mail he left on his daughter's phone calling her a "rude, thoughtless pig." Baldwin said he asked NBC to release him from his 30 Rock contract over the incident, and also so he could concentrate on finishing a book about divorce litigation. Tuesdays with Morrie it won't be.
