Alec Baldwin's rant against TMZ founder: 'I wanted him to die in my arms'

Alec Baldwin has a serious vendetta against tabloid mogul Harvey Levin, to the point of envisioning graphic murder fantasies in which he violently attacks the TMZ founder and watches him die a gruesome death.

"There was a time when my greatest wish was to stab Harvey Levin with a rusty implement and watch his entrails go running down my forearm…I wanted him to die in my arms, while looking into my eyes, and I wanted to say to him, 'Oh, Harvey, you thoughtless little pig.'" he told the New Yorker.

That's a nice image for your lunch break.

Why the vicious beef? The 30 Rock actor has had a long-standing war with TMZ ever since they infamously published a condemning voice message he left for his then 11-year-old daughter Ireland Baldwin in 2007, calling her a "thoughtless little pig", and her mother Kim Basinger "a pain in the ass".

Listen below.

The 57-year-old has since patched things up with his model daughter, now a star in her own right at age 20, but we can't say the same for his relationship with his TMZ nemesis Levin, whom he refers to in the interview as "a festering boil on the anus of American media".
