 Hollywood hothead, Alec Baldwin went on a Twitter rampage after reading that his pregnant wife Hilaria Baldwin tweeted during the New York funeral of former "Sopranos" star James Gandolfini. His wife denies the allegations.

The Daily Mail UK made the claim and he went ballistic, "My wife and I attend a funeral to pay our respects to an old friend, and some toxic Brit writes this f***ing trash. I’m gonna find you, George Stark … and I’m gonna f***…you…up."

Shortly after making the criminal threat of violence against journo George Stark, Baldwin shut down his Twitter account. Stark better be careful. Alec is known for beating people down. He even berated his beautiful daughter, calling her a, "Rude, thoughtless pig."

Hollywood actor James Gandolfini, famous for playing the character "Tony Soprano" on the former HBO show "The Sopranos" died yesterday in Rome, Italy of an apparent, massive heart attack. He was 51-years-old. Gandolfini is survived by his wife and two children. The actor was in Italy to take part in the Taormina film festival, when he suddenly passed away. More recently, Gandolfini appeared in the film "Zero Dark Thirty" which I reviewed on the Celluloid Film Review site two weeks ago.

The controversial actor began slipping into his character off-screen when he attacked a paparazzo, who took a photo of him while shopping in public. Video footage of the incident went viral. Other outbursts followed, which led some to believe he was having difficulty dealing with the fame that came from the show.

The Sopranos

Galdolfini won awards for his portrayal of the brutal, adulterous, fictitious mob boss Soprano, but it was not without significant criticism. When the show premiered Italian-American groups such as Order Sons of Italy (OSIA) denounced it as a negative, violent stereotype ridden portrayal of their community. Groups petitioned to have "The Sopranos" removed from the air, but were unsuccessful. At the end of the day, no one wants their cultural group portrayed in a negative light.
