Hi, on this Friday, May 9, 2008. I'm Melisse Hinkle with today's UPI Entertainment Update.

Alec Baldwin is speaking out about the voice mail message he left his daughter last year. The actor sat down for an interview with Morley Safer set to air this weekend on "60 Minutes." Baldwin reportedly called his daughter a "thoughtless little pig" in the message. The "30 Rock" star apparently told Safer he won't leave her any more messages that aren't what he calls "something out of a Rodgers & Hammerstein score."

A portrait of Heath Ledger is now an award-winning work of art. According to People magazine, the painting, titled "Heath," won an award at the Archibald Prize Exhibition in Australia on Thursday. Ledger's friend Vincent Fantauzzo reportedly completed the portrait in December before the actor died.

Liv Tyler and her husband British musician Royston Langdon are reportedly separated. The pair married in 2003, but Tyler's rep has apparently confirmed they've now split. Tyler and Langdon have a son, Milo, who was born in 2004. The actress' rep tells People magazine the couple "remain good friends and devoted parents to their son..."

Jessica Simpson will apparently be the maid of honor at her sister Ashlee's wedding. Simpson reportedly confirmed her role to People. Twenty-three-year-old Ashlee Simpson is engaged to Pete Wentz. The rest of the couple's wedding plans are still under wraps.

Time Magazine hosted its 100 Most Influential People in the World party last night in New York. Guests like Tina Fey, Rupert Murdoch and Herbie Hancock filled the Time Warner Center for the event. Lance Armstrong and Republican presidential candidate John McCain also topped the guest list.
