Hamptons Stars Appear on TV Christmas List
A number of Hamptons celebrities and one Hamptons-based TV show appeared on the New York Post’s 1st Annual TV Christmas List, a “Year-end almanac of how 2012 turned out.”
Amagansett actor Alec Baldwin ranked fourth among TV’s highest paid stars in prime-time, earning $15 million for his role as Jack Donaghy on NBC’s 30 Rock, which concludes this season. His co-star Tina Fey tied Khloe Kardashian Odom of Keeping Up With The Kardashians for eighth place with $11 million.
Baldwin was also recognized among TV stars who quit Twitter this year, apparently signing off with the tweet, “It’s been fun.” Alec’s brother Stephen Baldwin was listed among stars who were arrested (as captured on TMZ headlines) for tax charges.
It’s no surprise troubled Hamptons visitor Lindsay Lohan also appeared on that list, for fighting and leaving the scene of an accident.
ABC’s hit Hamptons-based show Revenge was the 10th best-reviewed show of the year and its evil matron Victoria Grayson was listed as the eighth most-tweeted TV villain of the year.
Rachael Ray was named among TV stars who published a cookbook for releasing My Year in Meals, and Martha Stewart was listed for publishing Martha’s American Food.
HBO’s hit vampire series True Blood, starring Sag Harbor’s Chris Bauer as Sheriff Andy Bellefleur, was listed eighth in the top 10 TV series on Facebook and Twitter.
