Alec Baldwin's Daughter Calls 911 After He Threatens To Take Pills

Alec Baldwin's daughter Ireland, 14, called 911 around midnight last night from his New York apartment after an argument with her father where he allegedly threatened to take pills.

The AP reports that Baldwin was taken to a hospital for examination early this morning, but later released.

"This was a misunderstanding on one person's part. Alec was quickly released from the hospital; he's completely fine and will be at work today," the actor's spokesman, Matthew Hiltzik, said in a statement.

Alec was publicly embarrassed when a voicemail in which he called his daughter with Kim Basinger "a rude little pig" was released. Baldwin and Basinger had been embroiled in a bitter custody suit over their only child for years.

Alec is set to co-host the Oscars with Steve Martin March 7th.
