The NY Post, citing Showbiz411, says Alec Baldwin was given a gun with real ammunition before he accidentally shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his new movie "Rust". A source tells People magazine, ''Baldwin was hysterical and absolutely inconsolable for hours following the shooting. Everyone knows this was an accident, but he's absolutely devastated. It's going to take him time to figure all this out. He needs to take a while to himself, to be with his family."

The NY Post says Alec is being haunted by a former tweet he posted about a California police officer shooting a violent suspect. In 2017, Alec posted; “I wonder how it must feel to wrongfully kill someone.”

The NY Post says Hutchins was killed by a live bullet and not a blank. Someone placed the live bullet in the gun before giving it to Alec. The police are continuing to investigate

The Sun says Alec's wife, Hilaria, fled New York with their six children on Friday. No word on where they were being taken.

Halyna Hutchins‘ father, Anatoly Androsovych, says, “We still can’t believe Halyna is dead and her mother is going out of her mind with grief. But I don’t hold Alec Baldwin responsible; it is the responsibility of the props people who handle the guns.”

The Los Angeles Times says six camera crew members walked off the set to protest poor working conditions. They were upset with the long hours and trouble getting their paychecks.

Alec released a statement saying, “There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother, and deeply admired colleague of ours. I’m fully cooperating with the police investigation to address how this tragedy occurred and I am in touch with her husband, offering my support to him and his family.”

Radar Online says Alec's gun handler, Hannah Reed, was reportedly careless with a gun on the set of Nicolas Cage's movie ''The Old Way''. A source says, "She was reloading the gun on the ground, where there were pebbles and stuff. We didn't see her check it, we didn't know if something got in the barrel or not. She was a bit careless with the guns, waving it around every now and again. There were a couple times she was loading the blanks and doing it in a fashion that we thought was unsafe."

OK! magazine claims Alec Baldwin's accidental shooting was allegedly caught on camera. A source tells the magazine, “The camera was facing Alec who was shooting in the cameras general direction during a rehearsal scene that was being recorded. The cameras captured Alec shooting but Halyna and Joel were behind the camera so I don’t think the cameras captured them being shot.”



The Rock tells Vanity Fair magazine that he is leaning against running for President.“Conversations always swirl when it comes to me running for POTUS one day. The latest poll showed that 46% of Americans would support me running for President. For my @vanityfair interview, I spent a lot of time with my writer (and tequila drinking buddy:), Chris Heath about my honest feelings regarding this unbelievable support I potentially could have. At the end of the day, I don’t know the first thing about politics. I care deeply about our country. And I care about every American who bleeds red — and that’s all of them. There’s no delusion here. I may have some leadership qualities but that doesn’t necessarily make me a great Presidential candidate. And that’s where I am today.”

I have, it’s up in the attic, this really creepy Nosferatu, over-the-head mask, and I answered the door with this on my face and to see the four- and five-year-olds just recoil in horror, [my wife] Marilou saying, ‘It’s not a good look for you to be scaring these kids,’ so I retired that.”

Dear Fonseca

My mother is 61. She teaches Zumba to stay busy and in shape. One of my friends told me that my mom started a Tik-Tok account. I thought they were joking until they showed it to me. My mother is posting Zumba and dance videos. She's barely wearing anything. I confronted her about the videos over the weekend and told her that she is too old to be posting things like this. She disagrees and says she doesn't care what people think. Should there be a cut-off age when people can post videos like this on social media? Should my mom be doing this because she's not only embarrassing herself and me, but the rest of our family including the grandkids? I think she's selfish for not taking this into account.
