But he seemed a little hesitant to share with the protesters at first.

Close to midnight last night, Alec Baldwin sent out a tweet heard all over Wall Street that he was coming down to support the cause.

True to his word, he showed up to shake hands and talk the finer points of the movement with the people protesting in New York.

Check out the video (above) to hear Alec chat with We Are Change about Ending the Federal Reserve Banking System.

Ben & Jerry's may officially be the COOLEST company ever!

The board of directors has proclaimed full support for all of the Occupy Wall Street protestors in a message reading, "To those who occupy: We stand with you."

This comes as no surprise considering they have championed for corporate responsibility in the past, but is definitely a nice boost to the movement.

After expressing their admiration for those protesting the corporate greed that is destroying our democracy, they briefly outline issues that are important to the company such as:

Watch out, Wall Street! You do NOT want to be on the opposing side to any cause that Michael Moore supports!

Check out the photos (above, and below) of Michael showing his continuing support for Occupy Wall Street protestors in NYC last night.

As a reminder, the goal of this protest is to fight against Wall Street's financial greed and corruption.

Stay safe, Michael and Co.!

Might be time to admit that you were wrong, Netflix!

Earlier this week, we were NOT pleased to learn that Netflix decided to split their DVD-by-mail and video streaming services into two separate entities.

As is to be expected, there was LOTS of backlash from critics and customers…and now Wall Street is telling Netflix that they messed up!

Here's what Pacific Crest Securities analyst Andy Hargreaves had to say about Netflix's big business mistake:

This is getting ugly.

He was amazing in Wall Street…he brought the intensity in Platoon…he was cool in The Chase…what exactly will he be in THIS movie???

Looks like Charlie Sheen will be getting a chance to prove to the world that he can still act, because he's just signed on to Roman Coppola's A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charlie Swan III.

The movie co-stars Jason Schwartzman, and it's about "a successful graphic designer whose fame, money and charm have made him girlfriend breaks up with him, his life heads into a downward spiral."

Ah, we get it now! He's basically playing HIMSELF! That makes sense.

Will U go see Charlie's new movie when it hits theaters?

Charlie Sheen's winning streak is over.

At least for now.

The actor/performer/goddess-lover performed at New York City's Radio City Music Hall on Friday night and completely bombed.

Can we say "Detroit" all over again??

Within five minutes of being on stage, the audience began heckling and booing Charlie, which threw him off.

He tried to win the crowd back by offering an olive branch to Chuck Lorre, his former Two and a Half Men boss, inviting him to Sunday's show, saying, "(Let’s) work this s**t out. Of course I want my job back man!"

He then went after his Wall Street director, Olive Stone. Charlie told the crowd, "I’ll buy an Academy Award from Oliver Stone ’cause he’s now broke. His movies now suck! Anyone seen Wall Street 2?"

Yikes.

None of his "jokes" seemed to go over well with the crowd and after several minutes of booing and heckling, Charlie left the stage 30 minutes early.

He performs at Radio City Music Hall AGAIN on Sunday, but we doubt he'll have a better performance.

If you're holding a ticket for Sunday night's show, we're warning you now! It's probably going to suck.
