Alec Baldwin is done. He's had all he can stand and he can't stand no more. Life in the public eye has become so toxic for the former "30 Rock" star that on Sunday he penned a lengthy essay for New York magazine titled, "Good-bye, Public life," in which he officially bowed out of the celebrity hamster wheel.

But, Baldwin being Baldwin, he didn't exit stage right before taking a few people out. "I've read where a number of people have felt that 2013 was a s----y year," he wrote. "For me, it was actually a great year, because my wife and I had a baby. But, yeah, everything else was pretty awful. And I find myself bitter, defensive, and more misanthropic than I care to admit. And I'm trying to understand what happened, how an altercation on the street, in which I was accused--wrongly--of using a gay slur, could have cascaded like this. There's been a shift in my life. And it's caused me to step back and say, This is happening for a reason.

After living what he deemed a "relatively charmed life," Baldwin said everything changed last November when he said he was labeled a homophobe after allegedly using an anti-gay slur against a paparazzi photographer. (Baldwin has denied using the slur.)

Before he closed the book on a 35-year career, Baldwin took some parting shots at his rather lengthy enemies list. Who made the roster?

The "I am not famous anymore" actor got dinged again by Baldwin, a year after LaBeouf unexpectedly dropped out of ...

For weeks now we've seen teasing looks at the rebooted giant monster in "cover for Empire Magazine, we've got our first good look at the titular Kaiju:

...And he looks pretty much exactly how you'd expect Godzilla to look. Which isn't surprising, necessarily, but it is something fans have been asking for since the more lizard like look Gojiru adopted in the much maligned 1998 American remake.

Though this look is more traditional, it is notable that for a monster that has mostly been portrayed by a man in a rubber suit, this CGIed Godzilla does seem slicker looking, and is certainly opening his mouth much wider than a puppeted one ever could.

We don't know a lot about the plot of the new movie, other than it involves a giant monster, is directed by Gareth Edwards and stars Aaron Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston and more.

"Godzilla" opens May 16.

"Heroes" is coming back. Yatta?

For some fans, NBC's announcement of "Heroes Reborn" is going to be the best news of the week. Others won't even bat an eyelash. But there's no denying that for certain shows, the legacy lives on long past the series finale — and there's always a fan or two million ready to reopen a closed book.

Indeed, "Heroes Reborn" is just the latest show to make an unexpected comeback. Netflix revived "Arrested Development" for a fourth season last year, and Fox has a new round of "24" premiering later this spring. The surprise revivals of all three of those shows make you stop and wonder: Which other fan-favorite TV series are worthy of a revisit?

Here are nine shows we feel could be worth resurrecting at some point down the line, if properly executed.

"Alias"

There was buzz a few years ago that the Jennifer Garner spy series could see a return from the dead. Here's hoping that buzz heats up again thanks to the "Heroes" news, because there's always more stories where Rambaldi boxes are concerned.

An "Alias" revival doesn't necessarily need many or any of the players from the original series (the triple-agent concept would work well enough with a new cast), but there are a lot of juicy, unresolved characters and stories still in play — like the return of Julian Sark, or even the newly-immortal, buried-alive Arvin Sloane.

"Deadwood"

When HBO ended "Deadwood," there was talk of a series of TV movies that would tie up the critically-acclaimed Western's loose ends. Alas, that never ...

Everything remained "awesome" for "The LEGO Movie" over the weekend. But as for "3 Days to Kill" and "Pompeii"? Eh, not so much.

"The LEGO" movie easily retained the #1 spot at the box office, as newcomers "Pompeii" and "3 Days to Kill" both flopped. Only "Shrek 2" has enjoyed a better weekend number three than "LEGO," which snapped together another $31.5 million on its way to $275 million worldwide ($183 million of that domestically).

The the family friendly "The LEGO Movie" is the biggest flick of 2014 thus far, having now passed the $123 million haul of "Ride Along." Plus, while the Kevin Hart/Ice Cube action comedy did well commercially, it suffered from overwhelmingly bad reviews. "The LEGO Movie" has garnered the same sort of critical acclaim it's gathered at the box office.

No word yet as to whether or not the the A-list . It's a safe bet that Chris Pratt's star-power will have only grown larger by 2017 in the wake of "Guardians of the Galaxy" and the long-awaited "Jurassic World," which he was kind enough to spill about to MTV News recently.

Action vehicle "3 Days to Kill" was a dud over the weekend, debuting in a distant second place with just $12.3 million. It's the third in a recent spate of flops ("Colombiana," "From Paris with Love") produced by French filmmaker Luc Besson, director of the 1994 masterpiece, "The Professional."

"Pompeii" had an even harder time generating enthusiasm from audiences, echoing the destructive power of that ancient volcano upon Sony's $100 million budget. "Pompeii" opened with ...

Jason Collins
, who made history last year when he became the first major league athlete to come out as gay during his active career was back in uniform on Sunday night for a new team.

The 35-year-old 7-footer made his debut with the Brooklyn Nets after signing a 10-day contract, making him the first openly gay athlete to play for a major American sports league. The journeyman center played 11 minutes during the first half of a 108-102 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, going scoreless and grabbing two rebound and a steal while committing five fouls.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio applauded the signing, writing, "We welcome @jasoncolins34 to Brooklyn and applaud his courage."

New York rapper Hesta Prynn seconded that emotion, as did Collins' new friend, Michael Sam
, who recently came out on the cusp of starting his NFL career.

He also got props from Robbie Rogers, the openly gay soccer player for the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Collins has played with six different teams during his 12-year NBA career (including a seven-year stint with the New Jersey Nets) and was unsigned at the time that went public last April in a Sports Illustrated essay after finishing a stint with the Washington Wizards.
