Alec Baldwin at LAX airport yesterday

Alec Baldwin was kicked off an American Airlines flight at LAX yesterday for being an all-around "rules don't apply to me" jackass, getting into a fight with a flight attendant, and then slamming the door of a lavatory hard enough for the pilot to hear and come out of the cockpit. Oh no, that's right. According to Alec, he was kicked off the flight for playing Words with Friends, a Scrabble ripoff game for the iPhone. I guess the flight attendant must have been a very territorial Angry Birds fan or something. From the New York Post:

Hothead Alec Baldwin was kicked off an American Airlines flight in LA yesterday after flipping out and throwing a tantrum when he refused to turn off his iPhone — because he was in the middle of an online game.

"He was beating the walls of the lavatory to the point that the captain called us to see what that was about. They heard it in the cockpit," said one crew member on the JFK-bound flight who had to deal with the "30 Rock" actor.

"He was asked five times. Everybody is the same. Everyone has to follow the rules, it doesn't matter who you are," the employee told The Post. "He was violent, abusive and aggressive."

A passenger on the flight, Steve Weiss, confirms that Alec is indeed, a fucking asshole:

"The door was closed — they had just announced they were pulling away from the gate. He got up, threw his papers on the floor and stormed into the bathroom, slammed the door closed, beat on the wall and then came back. He said, 'If you want to kick me off, kick me off.' He was just crazy. He just flipped out."

In Alec's defense, the flight attendant was being a rude, thoughtless little pig. And we all know how he feels about those.
