 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 Glamorizes The Mafia At Kids Expense

The Sopranos

Hollywood and its component, the music industry, are known for having their financial feet in mafia coffers, as they have funded a number of tinseltown and record label projects. As a result, over the years, they have and continue to, glamorize the violent, brutal and unethical lifestyle of the mafia, as though it is something to be proud of, when it is not. Hollywood and the music industry have done this at the expense of impressionable teens and kids, which deserves the strongest rebuke and denunciation.

Shows such as the "Sopranos" and movies like "Scarface" "Goodfellas" and the forthcoming "Gotti" biopic, glorify violence, hate, misogyny, promiscuous sex and thievery. A number of music albums have done the same. Youth, whose minds are like sponges, take in this so-called entertainment and attempt to emulate it to their detriment. However, it is not cool when they get killed or arrested for trying to behave like a criminal character on television or wax.
