It hasn’t been a great week for the “Blue Jasmine” actor. He has had to deal with a messy court case involving an alleged stalker, he was videotaped hurling anti-gay slurs at photographers and MSNBC announced that they are temporarily halting production of the actor’s talk show, “Up Late with Alec Baldwin.”</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px;">“I would like to address the comments I made this past week,” the statement read. "I did not intend to hurt or offend anyone with my choice of words, but clearly I have—and for that I am deeply sorry. Words are important. I understand that, and will choose mine with great care going forward. What I said and did this week, as I was trying to protect my family, was offensive and unacceptable. Behavior like this undermines hard-fought rights that I vigorously support. I understand "Up Late" will be taken off the schedule for tonight and next week.</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px;">"I want to apologize to my loyal fans and to my colleagues at MSNBC—both for my actions and for distracting from their good work. Again, please accept my apology."</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px;">The chat show has had tepid ratings. According to Variety, the most recent episode on November 8 reached 395,000 viewers down from approximately 654,000 for its premiere.</span></div></div>
