Now this is the Alec Baldwin we’ve come to know and, well, not love. The actor’s not happy about a piece in the Daily Mail suggesting that his wife was busy tweeting during the funeral of James Gandolfini. Maybe it was just some “Sopranos” nostalgia that inspired Baldwin’s threat about a funeral?

That’s quite a threat, but Baldwin is a pro in that department. How soon until the reports that “queen” is actually a compliment?

Update:
Whatever we’re calling this “scandal,” it appears to go deeper. Tweeter @CatsPolitics suggests that the Los Angeles-based reporter misread Twitter’s timestamps for the New York funeral.
.@georgestark_ Your #math is off by 3 hours on @hilariabaldwin's tweets. I'm in NYC & you subtracted 3 hrs from each timestamp. @dailymailuk

@CatsPolitics @hilariabaldwin If @DailyMailUK reporter was in California, times on tweets would be 3 hrs off, as appears to be the case.

@AdamBaldwin @GeorgeStark_ Twitter converts timestamps into your time zone. @hilariabaldwin was in East, reporter in Pacific.

The Daily Mail is standing by its story, sort of. George Stark’s name disappeared from the byline temporarily, replaced by “Daily Mail Reporter.” Was the paper covering for a screw-up, or just trying to keep Stark safe until he could reach a safe house?
