CELEBRITY REPORT Baldwins lawyer: Video will clear him in parking clash Video will vindicate Alec Baldwin after he was accused of slugging a man in the face over a parking space, the actor’s lawyer said Monday. Baldwin himself said nothing as he was arraigned on a misdemeanor attempted assault charge and a charge of harass ment, a violation, in the latest of his several brushes with the law over the years. The Emmy win ner has previously denied he punched anyone in the car park ing clash outside his Manhattan apartment building Nov. 2. Lawyer Alan Abramson echoed that denial Monday and added that “incontrovertible video evidence proves it “beyond all doubt.” “Mr. Baldwin did not commit any crime, and we are confident that once this matter is fully investigated, it will be resolved swiftly and appropriately in court,” Abramson said. He didn’t show the video and declined to give details about it. Prosecutors, meanwhile, said in court papers the 60-year-old star told a police offi cer the other driver “stole my spot,” used a vulgarity to describe him, and acknowl edged: “I did push him.” Baldwin, who came to court in a purple polo shirt and dark pants, didn’t enter a plea. It’s normal not to do so at this stage of a Man hattan misdemeanor case. He was released without bail and is due back in court Jan. 23. Baldwin tweeted after his arrest that reports of the episode were “egregiously misstated,” and his lawyer said Monday the actor’s “reputation has been damaged by media reports that claim that he punched a man on a New York City street. ” The fracas began after the other driver pulled into a parking space that one of Bald win’s relatives was holding for him, and the two men started quarreling and pushing each other, police said earlier this month. A court complaint filed Monday said the other driver told police Baldwin shoved him and hit him in the face with a closed hand, causing him pain, according to a court com plaint. The 49-year-old man was taken to a hospital for treatment. While police arrested Baldwin on assault and harassment charges, prosecutors changed them Monday to attempted assault and harassment. The attempted assault charge requires proving that someone intentionally tried to injure someone physically. The assault charge, on the other hand, would require establishing that some one intentionally or recklessly did injure another person, or neg ligently used a deadly weapon or “dangerous instrument.” Baldwin, the star of former television sit com “30 Rock” and current host of “Match Game,” has portrayed Republican President Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live” and recently started a talk show on ABC. Baldwin has gotten into a number of pub lic confrontations, some of them leading to legal trouble. He was arrested in 1995 after being accused of slugging a paparazzi photogra pher in Los Angeles, and he was thrown off an American Airlines flight in 2011 after a dust-up with a flight attendant who asked him to stop playing “Words with Friends” and turn off his cellphone. In 2014, Baldwin was arrested in New York for allegedly get ting belligerent with police who said they stopped him for bicycling the wrong way on a one-way street. “Looks like you have a short fuse,” a Man hattan judge said when he put that case on track to be tossed out, which it ultimately was. Months before the 2014 arrest, Baldwin authored a New York magazine cover story decrying tabloid coverage of his comings and goings in the city and suggesting he was giving up on living there. “I know there’s an impression that I’m someone who seeks to have violent confron tations with people. I don’t,” he said.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY ARIES (March 21 -April 19). When people mean well but don’t make the impact they hope to, it’s usually a function of misreading the situation or simply not knowing enough about it. The best move you can make now is to sit tight and learn all you can. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In nature, the bull goes with the herd; it suits the bull and it suits the herd. But if it doesn’t suit the bull, the bull leaves. Be the same. Only stick with the herd if it is what’s in your heart. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There you go again, moving forward as if unafraid. What the onlookers don’t know is your internal dialogue and how you quiver inside your boots. And that’s what makes you truly brave. You feel the fear and do it anyway. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Public speaking is easier for some than others. There will be shy ones who aren’t sure if it’s worth the trouble to stand and be counted. You’ve felt like that in the past, which is why you’ll be a most encouraging pres ence. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are some decisions you’ll make that you’ll never really know the consequences of. That’s why today it will be most satisfying to get evidence that a choice you made long ago was the right one. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Bringing people together will be your specialty today, though you may not be con sciously aware that it’s what you’re doing. Your inclusive ness starts a ripple of happy effects. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). What you see is not only what you get; it’s what you’ll keep get ting. So if you don’t like it, make a quick change. It will be way easier to set things on track in the early stages of an arrangement. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The best ones to spend time with today will fall into one of two categories. Either they are people you’re sure to have fun with, or they are people who genuinely need you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). For some, loneliness is a palpable problem, an actual chill that your fire sign energy can thaw with the stretch of a smile. Don’t underestimate the good a little warmth and kind ness can do. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) They’re better because of you, and this much they’ll tell you. Nothing could be more soul- fortifying than knowing you improved the lives of those closest to you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People make mistakes, but people are not their mistakes. For learning purposes, sepa rate the person from the deed. Examine each factor sepa rately and then reassemble and reconsider. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Before you leave the house, or go into any dealings at all, consciously set an expectation for what’s to come. In doing so, you’ll take a more assertive, conscious role and get clearer outcomes as a result.
