See, we knew we liked Alec Baldwin. We just didn't know how much...
A new book called Moments Of Clarity, by Christopher Kennedy Lawford, contains celebs' personal discussions of their past addictions. Alec Baldwin contributes, and though his tales of hard partying aren't paricularly shocking, especially for the 80's, we were fascinated by the revelation that Baldwin would end his benders by going into a video arcade at 9 in the morning and playing Galaga for two hours. Check out this quote from the book, with Baldwin begging the arcade owner to open the arcade so he can get his Galaga fix:
You got no idea, Julian. Julian, I need you. I need you to get that key and open the f- - -ing door and let me in. I got to play 'Galaga.'
Damn. Good thing Baldwin got clean. It always starts with Galaga. By the time it gets to Frogger, you're too far gone.
