« Today's News: Our Take
Basinger vs Baldwin, Round 2,108
Through a statement released by her rep, Kim Basinger has denied releasing her ex Alec Baldwin's Golden Globe-worthy voicemail to their daughter, Ireland, but adds that even if she did, their case wasn't sealed by court order anyway. Naturally, she couldn't leave it at that, either. The statement goes on to say, "Everybody is always asking why this custody battle has been going on for so many years, and now they have the answer. The issue is not about Kim or the alleged alienation that Alec constantly refers to. It is about his ongoing aggressive behavior. Kim's sincerest wish is for him to finally address his unstable and irrational behavior so he, at some point, can potentially create a relationship with his daughter."
Uh-huh. In the words of Helen Lovejoy, "Won't somebody think of the children?"

It's a good thing they can afford lots of therapy for the poor kid.

Let me see....I seem to recall a certain other ex-celeb who recently was all about "I didn't do it; but if I did...
Way to go Kim. Just couldn't resist the urge to work this out in public instead of the courts, where it belongs. Ireland must be soooo proud of both of her 'rents.

"Won't somebody think of the children?"
Amen to that. Poor kid- it must be hard having two parents so wrapped up in sticking it to each other that they completely miss what they are doing to her.

Since a child is involved, I say enough already. The press should move on to something else and let the court settle this and their other issues.

When I heard about all this, I was so floored, because I am living this whole scenario as the stepmother, on the outside looking in. My husband's ex-wife is such a terror, the parental alienation on her part is STILL going on five years after the divorce was finalized. My husband has gone weeks on end without being allowed to even speak to his kids because the woman will not allow them to pick up the phone. He doesn't have their e-mail addresses or cell numbers. We live over 1,000 miles apart, and since we moved away the kids have not been allowed to stay with us, we have to go to them. I could go on and on, but basically, I feel Alec Baldwin's pain. Granted, he should never have left such an insulting message for his daughter, but I'm sure he never dreamed that his his loony-ex wife would sink so low as to make the voicemail public. All I can say is that Ireland will remember all this stuff as an adult, and ultimately she will be the one who will suffer the most.

Alec Baldwin needs to leave the planet. He promised to leave the country if Bush was elected but he doesn't keep his word. He'a a liar and a fake and getting fatter everyday.

I overhead my wealthy brother in law screaming at my niece in the same manner. Her mother had tried for years to get people to believe how abusive he was, but outside of the house he was a "wonderful guy" and no one would support her. The jerk hit a downward slide and ended up in jail when his temper, bad judgement and multiple addictions finally exposed him for the louse that he was. But the damage has aleady been done and the kids will never be the same. I'm shocked that so many people support Baldwin when the evidence that he is an abusive father and husbband is a clear as a day. To call an 11 year old a pig repeatedly, casually and confidently implies he's done it before and feels it is in his right to do it again. There are thousands of other kids and mothers in the same situation who cannot get a family judge to protect them against jerks like Alec Baldwin.
