So This Happened of the Day: Former president and COO of MTV Networks Michael J. Wolf set Twitter atwitter after he tweeted about an hour ago from aboard an American Airlines flight en route to LAX that actor and fellow passenger Alec Baldwin had just been removed the plane.
This was later confirmed by business coach Grant Cardone, who added that Baldwin was kicked off for “abusive conduct.”
Baldwin took to Twitter some 40 minutes later to say that he was “reamed out” by a flight attendant for playing the popular multi-player game “Words With Friends,” presumably after being asked to turn off his mobile device.
No official word from AA on the incident, but I sincerely hope every bit of it is true.

UPDATE: TMZ has a few more details. Apparently Baldwin threw a bit of a temper tantrum after being forced to turn off his phone. He allegedly slammed the lavatory door, which brought the pilot out to see what was going on. It was the captain himself, it seems, who eventually tossed Baldwin out.
A Baldwin rep later commented that he “loves WWF so much that he was willing to leave a plane for it.”
