Alec Baldwin let his wife do the interviews on the red carpet. He simply noted that his daughter, Ireland, was in town but not atteding the Met Ball. “She’s doing modelling now, but I want her to get into acting, she’s very talented and very funny,” Baldwin said. And on his role at the “party of the year?” “I’m just the security guard tonight, I’m guarding her jewels. We’re not staying long as I have to get her home.” His Broadway show “Orphans” closes May 19, as Bloomberg Muse’s @PhilipBoroff reported here.
