Alec Baldwin Taken to and Released from Hospital Overnight
Posted on Feb 11 by Tatiana under Alec-Baldwin
Alec Baldwin was taken to the hospital Wednesday night and released soon after.
A rep for the actor told ET, “This was a misunderstanding on one person’s part. Alec was quickly released from the hospital. He’s completely fine and will be at work today.”
Reports allege that Baldwin’s daughter Ireland called 911 after finding her father irresponsive. He agreed to go to the hospital upon the medic’s arrival. After examination at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, doctors determined that he was able to return home.
Reports wrong Alec Baldwin rushed to hospital for “alcohol or drug abuse”

According to the website of the local Fox station in New York, after Alec Baldwin’s daughter Ireland called 911, at 12:13 a.m. paramedics responded and transported the “30 Rock” star to Lenox Hill hospital in New York “with effects of possible alcohol or drug abuse.”
NOT true.
While it is accurate that his daughter dialed 911, and that he willingly went to the hospital, as Baldwin’s rep explained in a statement, “This was a misunderstanding on one person’s part. Alec was quickly released from the hosptial, he’s completely fine and will be at work today.”
When Gossip Cop followed up with his rep, Baldwin’s spokesman reiterated, “Absolutely no drugs or alcohol.”
The 911 call followed an argument with Baldwin’s daughter, for whom who you’ll recall the Emmy winner had left a stinging voicemail for a few years ago, and for which he has subsequently apologized profusely, citing in part his bitter custody battle with ex-wife Kim Basinger.
According to other reports, Ireland told 911 that Baldwin had threatened to take pills, but a source close to the actor confirms to Gossip Cop that, too, is “completely false.”
Gossip Cop will update as more details emerge.

Alec Baldwin Briefly Hospitalized Over Daughter's Concerns -- Report
Posted on Feb 11 by Tatiana under Alec-Baldwin
‘30 Rock’ actor Alec Baldwin was rushed to a New York City hospital overnight after his daughter thought he was being unresponsive, according to various reports. A law enforcement official told the Associated Press that Baldwin and 14-year-old Ireland had been arguing, and she told 911 that he had threatened to take pills. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity.
According to various accounts, when police and medics arrived at his apartment, Baldwin was awake and agreed to be taken to the hospital for examination. He was driven to Lennox Hill Hospital, where he was treated and released an hour later.
Baldwin’s publicist issued a statement calling the whole thing “a misunderstanding on one person’s part.” The statement said Baldwin is “completely fine and will be at work” on Thursday.
The Emmy-winning actor has no known history of illness. Baldwin’s relationship with daughter Ireland was the source of a 2008 scandal involving phone messages in which he berated her as a “pig.”
The story was first reported by NBC New York.
