TMZ report that it is confirmed that Alec Baldwin has pre-recorded an episode of The View with all the girls  that will air this Friday.  However conflicting reports exist on how Baldwin’s apology went down with the crowd:

[TMZ's source] recounts that Baldwin “was very heartfelt, apologetic and emotional.” We’re told the audience applauded multiple times as Baldwin discussed the events surrounding the voice mail.  On the show, Baldwin indicated he is interested in being released from his “30 Rock” contract. Sources tell TMZ, however, that if NBC does not release him he will fulfill his contractual obligations. We don’t know how long those obligations run.

However another inside source has contacted Perez Hilton with an altogether different version of events:

“I was just an audience member on the View this afternoon for their show that will air Friday. Alec Baldwin made a v. awkward appearance on the show. Rosie came out before the segment to prepare the audience for the “polite applause” we were supposed provide. She was really great, compassionate, funny and said she loved alec and they’d been friends for years but she has been trying to convince him not to do this interview. He seemed really all over the map – asking nbc to release him from his contract with 30 rock, went off about his battle for parental alienation prevention and pulled a little papa simpson talking about how much he loved his daughter and how he wakes her up by getting in bed with her and stroking her hair.

He really had me til he said the last bit but generally I feel for the guy, I think he’s so out of it, lost and upset. Rosie told the audience during a commercial break that he had asked her every day for a week now to be on air to explain himself but she’d advised against it because people at the height of a problem shouldn’t make rash decisions. He had threatened to leave the country and was totally ambivalent about his future in acting. He stuttered non-stop, really all over the map and didn’t look at the audience once even tho there was a quasi-standing ovation when he walked in. Oh, and there’s this weird bit at the end about his mom’s voicemail about pumpkin seeds that translate to life that made him cry. Stay tuned on Friday!!!! “

As for which account is the true version, we’ll just have to wait until Friday.  As always if you have any hot tips or gossip – remember sharing is caring and you will be credited.
