What did he do or say this time?
Alec Baldwin was arrested in New York City this morning,
In Touch reports.
The magazine acquired pictures of the actor being handcuffed and put in the back of a cop car by an officer. Although one witness described the
30 Rock star as "calm and quiet" during the arrest, another said he "went ballistic on the cops, screaming at them" while being taken away.
"The incident just happened, we are waiting for details at this time," an NYPD source told the glossy.
Story developing…
Update: Baldwin was cited for illegal biking after going the wrong way on Fifth Avenue, and a factor in the arrest was that he didn't have his ID on him while he was riding, TMZ reports.

He needs to shut his mouth!
Donald Sterling sat down for an interview on
Anderson Cooper 360 yesterday, and the disgraced Clippers owner managed to get himself in even more hot water by slamming Magic Johnson for contracting HIV!
"Well, what kind of guy goes to every city, has sex with every girl, then he catches HIV? Is that someone we want to respect and tell our kids about? I think he should be ashamed of himself. I think he should go into the background. But what does he do for the black people? He doesn't do anything," the 80-year-old sniped after questioning the former basketball star's motives to help him work things out after the scandal broke.
As if that wasn't bad enough, the Clippers head honcho decided to make some sweeping generalizations of Jewish people and African Americans.
"That’s one problem I have. Jews, when they get successful they will help their people, and some of the African-Americans — maybe I’ll get in trouble again — they don’t want to help nobody,” he boldly declared.
After the sit-down aired, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver released a statement apologizing to Johnson personally and pledging to remove Sterling as swiftly as possible.
"I just read a transcript of Donald Sterling's interview with Anderson Cooper and while Magic Johnson doesn't need me to, I feel compelled on behalf of the NBA family to apologize to him that he continues to be dragged into this situation and be degraded by such a malicious and personal attack. The NBA Board of Governors is continuing with its process to remove Mr. Sterling as expeditiously as possible," the statement read.
No amount of crisis PR is going to help this guy! Someone get him a muzzle!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie attended the New York premiere of
The Normal Heart at the Ziegfeld Theater on Monday night, and though this is Brad's latest project, Angelina was the one who got all the attention from fans and autograph seekers!
But maybe it was because she was having a major fail with her face powder? Not only are we wondering if her regular makeup artist was on vacation, but why on earth didn't Brad mention something to her before they hit the red carpet?! He had to have noticed the amount of excess white powder on her jawline....
Anyway, Brad has tagged along with Angelina for the last few weeks while she's been promoting
Maleficent, so it was definitely her turn to play the role of supportive spouse. Well, they're not married just yet, but you know what we mean...
The Normal Heart is about a gay activist who attempts to raise HIV/AIDS awareness during the early 1980s, and in addition to an all-star cast, the TV movie was directed by
Glee/
American Horror Story EP Ryan Murphy. Can't wait to watch this when it premieres on May 25!

The Kardashians (well, some of them -- it was really just Khloe and her little sister Kylie, along with mom Kris Jenner) filmed their reality show at a trapeze center in Los Angeles on Monday, and it looks like the ladies got quite a workout. And seeing as Kim has stated that her upcoming wedding to Kanye West
WON'T be part of the hit reality show, is it possible that the family is scrambling for some interesting plot lines?
After getting a peek at Bruce Jenner
deep throating a banana over the weekend, maybe they should do more with him and his transformation. Unless Bruce and Kris reconciling will be a major part of next season? With this family you never know...

Cue the spaghetti western music!
Justin Bieber got his cowboy on Monday afternoon in the 95-degree Los Angeles heat, with a dusty trail ride in Griffith Park.
The Biebs and his posse got a little equine therapy -- maybe to help the uber famous pop star escape the burden of fame and, for once, get back to nature and be just like anyone else. Except ... he was checking his cell phone all throughout the ride!
?
And JB, that's not a cowboy hat, it's a fedora! Hipsters everywhere should be outraged! What next dark skinny jeans, a Smiths shirt and Converse?
The Canadian cutie stepped out of his Beverly Hills hotel on Monday -- and we coldn't help but notice a difference in his style. Instead of sticking to his swaggah-gear of beanies and too baggy pants, the Biebs changed up his look by going all hipster on us: fedora, slim jeans (well slim for him) and some black combat boots. Bieber, where are your drop-crotch pants and blinged-out high tops? We're so confused!
Since landing in Los Angeles in last week, the 20-year-old has been spotted all over town. On Sunday, the "Boyfriend singer enjoyed some time with
Pattie Mallette at the Clippers game. On Saturday night, Bieber watched
Godzilla with manager Scooter Braun and some pals, but before his boys' night in, the 20-year-old pop star spent quite a bit of time posing for photos with fans outside of his Beverly Hills hotel. And it wasn't just the young ladies -- Biebs cozied up to some moms and posted a pic on Instagram with the caption, "#lovethesupport #cougarfans #swirv."
It looks like Bieber's been on his best behavior since back in La La Land, which is really too bad. The sizzurp-swigging singer is really at his best when he's causing trouble!

One day of celebrating clearly wasn't enough!
Jennifer Lopez and her mother Guadalupe left their hotel to grab lunch in N.Y.C. today, and even though Mother's Day was yesterday, it seems the ladies wanted to squeeze a little more quality time!
J.Lo's boyfriend Casper Smart must have volunteered to watch twins Max and Emme so that his lady love could enjoy an adults-only day in the Big Apple.
The
American Idol judge recently spoke of how her children have changed her life, and it sounds like Jenny from the Block is right where she wants to be.
"I just feel like I went through a real growth spurt as a human being [when I became a mother]. Having my babies allowed me to realize what unconditional love was," she gushed to
People.
Her hit song "I Luh Ya Papi" should be changed to "I Luh Ya Mami"!

Maleficent may be known as the Mistress of All Evil, but Angelina Jolie is the complete opposite of the character she plays in the upcoming Disney film!
On Monday Angelina was all smiles when she left a meeting in New York City, and though her white top and black pant combo was pretty boring, she still looked beautiful. Angie is in town to promote
Maleficent, and we love the fact that she's so pumped about playing the villainess!
In a behind-the-scenes
clip of Jolie that hit the web last week, she revealed that she's always wanted to play the sexy sorceress. "I loved Maleficent when I was a little girl, she was my favorite Disney character," she said. "So when I heard there might be a Maleficent movie, I was very excited." Jolie later added, "She had a wicked sense of fun ... I was really moved by the script. It was like I was uncovering this great mystery."
But remember the days when Angie showed off her tattoos in sexy outfits and wore a vial of her lover's blood around her neck? Now that she's in her late 30s and the mother of six kids, her style is soooo blah...

Carter Family Portraits
Thanks to the Carter Family Portrait gallery on Tumblr, we now know what the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel would look like if Kanye West and Jay Z were God and Adam ... and it's equally entertaining and hilarious! Funny how Kanye isn't God in this interpretation though...
The Tumblr page features a handful of historic works of art that have been re-done with a R&B twist, and while most of the pieces use Beyonce Knowles' famous face, the one of Kanye and Jay gets our vote as the best adaptation.
From the re-creation of The Creation of Adam to American Gothic with Jay and Bey, whoever spent the better part of their day Photoshopping these famous faces onto pieces by Klimt, Vermeer, Michelangelo, Frida Kahlo, Andy Warhol, Guido Reni and Frederick Warren Freer has a big thumbs up from us.
Neither Jay/Bey or Kanye has commented on the project, but we're dying to know what they think of it! Click the gallery below for more photos...
