Like many of us, 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin has a love for Apple’s iPhone. He frequently uses the device to send messages to his Twitter followers, and his addiction, the popular word game Words With Friends, recently got him thrown off an American Airlines flight to New York.

According to Yahoo! news, Baldwin was not willing to put Words With Friends away while the plane idled at the gate:

The “30 Rock” actor was playing a game called “Words with Friends” while the plane idled at a gate Tuesday, said Baldwin’s spokesman, Matthew Hiltzik.

“He loves `Words with Friends’ so much that he was willing to leave a plane for it,” said Hiltzik, who added that Baldwin boarded another American Airlines flight to New York.

Baldwin kept his Twitter followers up to date, with a message that read:

flight attendant on American reamed me out 4 playing Words With Friends while we sat at the gate, not moving.

He also stated this would be his last flight with American Airlines.
