In the blood-is-thicker-than-water department, Billy Baldwin is said to be upset with big brother Alec because Alec didn't invite him to the fund-raiser. The New York Post says the trouble started when the brothers endorsed different candidates for a New York Senate seat and escalated after Billy was elected to succeed Alec as president of the Creative Coalition, a liberal actors' activist group. A spokesman for Billy denied there was a rift.
