Digested week: Alec Baldwin on gun control? Silence would be preferable | Emma Brockes

Plus Gawker and the end (again) of an era, and Eva Green's WhatsApp mishaps

When one thinks of Alec Baldwin - as this week's news cycle sadly ensures one must - humility isn't the first quality that springs to mind. Baldwin's persona hinges on a comedic bombast that the 64-year-old carries over from the screen into life. Even for a man who threatens photographers in the street, yells at airline stewards and rashly tweets and deletes, however, his apparent blitheness in the wake of [checks notes] shooting and killing someone accidentally on the set of his last film has been quite something to behold.
