Alec Baldwin gives Charlie Sheen some great advice

(HMG Celebrity News) – Who knows maybe if this story gains some legs Charlie Sheen might even read it.  Say what you will about Alec Baldwin, but he has been through the ups and downs of Hollywood and is unafraid of speaking the truth.  As a special guest writer for the Huffington Post, Alec has written a really bold and interesting article here about how Hollywood works and why Charlie Sheen needs to get real, that I encourage you to read.  In telling the story, Alec references Conan O’Brian’s recent plight and also reveals why he never continued in the role of Jack Ryan in the movies based on Tom Clancy’s great novels after the The Hunt For Red October.  Hint, the studio apparently owed Harrison Ford a big favor and he was a bigger star anyway so they offered Alec a contract that they were certain he wouldn’t sign.  In telling the story he makes the point that the studio executives really hold all the cards and that rarely is any actor bigger than a successful show, especially one “who is torturing their diseased egos, is a drug-addled, porn star-squiring, near-Joycean Internet ranter”.  Alec’s advice to Charlie in a nutshell, take a shower, get some sleep, sober up and beg fans for their forgiveness, and in getting America behind him he will ultimately totally piss off the studio execs but maybe get his job back.
