Alec Baldwin

Alec Baldwin fears Arnold Schwarzenegger has wrecked his chances of becoming a politician - because of the mistakes he has made as California's Governor.
 
Baldwin, a fervent Democrat, has dabbled with politics in the past and once suggested he'd consider a run for office once his contract on TV show 30 Rock ended in 2011.
 
But he thinks Republican Schwarzenegger's errors have made it impossible for a celebrity to be taken seriously as a politician.
 
He says, "I'm sure Schwarzenegger, because he's been so unsuccessful, has pretty much ruined running for office for everybody in my business for the time being."

In other Baldwin news William and his singer wife Chynna Philips have been hit with demands from U.S. tax officials after allegedly running up debts more than $180,000 (£117,500).

The couple, who married in 1995, owe both state and federal taxes, according to public records obtained by The Detroit News.
 
A tax lien for $39,561 (£24,725) was filed by the state of California against the couple on 19 March (09) in Los Angeles, while the Internal Revenue Service is seeking $148,401 (£92,750) from the pair.
