Video stillAlec Baldwin is seen grabbing a photographer's arm Friday morning, just a week after being accused of hitting another photographer in New York City.

Barely more than a week after being accused of hitting a New York Daily News photographer, Alec Baldwin got physical with the paparazzi againFriday morning. Video on TMZ shows the "30 Rock" star yelling at a young photographer who was blocking the entrance to his Manhattan building, yelling "I want you to shut the f--k up and get out of here. Leave my neighbors alone." He also called the man a "little girl" before storming off, while clutching a pink stuffed animal. Though Baldwin's still under investigation for the first assault claim, this lensman, Splash News' Brian Prahl, reportedly has a history of harassing residents in the actor's building.

Baldwin is expected to marry his fiancee, 28-year-old yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas, on Saturday at the Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral in New York City. Though the Catholic church is famous in Hollywood (it was used for Al Pacino's baptism scene in "The Godfather"), the couple is trying to do everything they can to keep the media away from their special day. The 54-year-old's younger brother Stephen Baldwin says no one knows for sure where the ceremony will take place and that Alec will text the wedding invitations to friends and family. "I'm going," Stephen said. "I haven't been told the location yet. That's about all I can say, because [Alec] can still kick my butt." After tying the knot, the couple will be expanding their $11.7 million penthouse space as Thomas bought the apartment space right next to Baldwin's Devonshire House residence.

"Today" executive producer Jim Bell said in a statement that Guthrie "has a one-of-a-kind combination of sharp wit and approachability, and our viewers value her journalistic skills and legal background just as much as her humor and charm."

"Family Guy" and "American Dad" creator Seth MacFarlane is accused of stealing the idea for "Ted" from another artist. "Imagine This," a comic strip created in 2008 by cartoonist Lucas Turnbloom, is about a slacker and his beer-drinking, potty-mouth teddy bear who has fits of rage. Though TV and film characters talking to a stuffed animal has been done plenty before, a shot-by-shot graphic pairing of images from the new Mark Wahlberg movie and the comic show lots of similarities. MacFarlane and his production company have yet to respond.
