Celebrity Justice
Baldwin vs. Basinger -- Round 56

Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger's contentious war of words continues on full steam ahead.
Judy Bogen and Alec Baldwin

Since their divorce in 2002, Baldwin and Basinger have been involved in an ongoing custody battle over their daughter Ireland.

In the October issue of GQ, Baldwin unleashes a barrage of insults aimed at one of Basinger's lawyers, Judy Bogen. He calls Bogen a "300-pound homunculus whose face looks like a cross between a bulldog and a clenched fist. She's this hideously angry-looking woman. She'd snarl and hiss."

Basinger retorts, "I am appalled by the statements made by Alec Baldwin in GQ. I am sickened by the fact that somebody can speak this way about another human being. My lawyers, Judy Bogen and Neal Hersh, have done nothing but fight to protect my daughter and me from this vile behavior. After reading this article, everybody will finally see what I've known and experienced for many years."

Basinger's lawyer Neal Hersh tells TMZ, "His recent statements in GQ show that he continues to be out of control. This is precisely what Kim has been fighting against all these years."

Stay tuned for Round 57.

31. Alec is a loser. He just sucks as an actor and a human being. He needs to lose weight and take the Dale Carnegie course. He's a waste of time. Anytime I see him in a movie I know it's a half ass, low budget, doomed to flop production.

32. alec baldwin needed to let off some steam. i'm so sick of kim basinger's victim act. fine if she doesn't want to be married to him,fine, but if she gave a damn about THEIR daughter she would be working toward resolution. it seems to me thatshe's more concerned about being "right" than she is about being a healthy supporter for her child.(who at this rate will be 18 and hate them both by the time this is settled)

33. Kim anyone can see how this bozo is in real life. And I do not blame you for not wanting him near your daughter. If it was anybody but Alec a judge would not let them have unsupervised visits. Maybe we should go to Canada and make a movie on how someone shoots Alec on the steps of a hotel and see how life would be for you & his daughter with him dead. Also the rest of the world. Because if they can make a movie about the President of the US being killed why not Alec Baldwin?

34. I love Alec Baldwin..He is a great actor. Sorry about his personal problems, but that don't change my thoughts. I still like him. He is a great actor.

35. Trish, you're probably the only idiot on the planet who loves that slob. Poor girl--get a life. The pig is as horrible an actor as his brother the drunk--and that's REALLY horrible. He also breaks promises. He vowed he would move out of the country if Bush were re-elected. And he's still here, running around offering his unsolicited nonsensical opinions on everything, none of which is of any concern to people other than r pathetic fans like you. A real piece of crapola.

36. I think both Kim and Alec are doing a great disservice to their child with this bickering and courtroom drama.....they both need to grow up...they are now divorced ...it isn't about them anymore..it is about their child, Ireland.....they have such anger, animosity , and immaturity towards each other... what are they teaching their child? this drama has been going on for years...and all they have to show is all the stress and and energy they wasted on being control freaks......they BOTH need professional help.....I wish that for the sake of their child they could try and think of her and her best interests and not themselves.......they need to realize that when you have one minute of anger, you lose 60 seconds of happiness.....I wish them both luck.....

37.
Alec is right, just look at the photo. Angry bulldog. She's probably the reason they are still fighting, and making money each round...get rid of the lawyers and settle it yourself!

38. That lawyer is butt-ugly. I think his description of her is quite accurate. He's free to say what he wants.

39. Intelligent? The word Baldwin was "trying" to use is

HUMONCULOUS

It is Latin for "little man".

Just because someone uses a big word, doesn't mean they know the defintition.
Baldwin is Hack!

40. I have to agree, she looks like the dog emblem on the old Mack trucks....all of this has made my life seem so normal. I think they both should end the fighting and let this woman use their money to get some plastic surgury....agreed???

41. IT'S ALWAYS GOOD WHEN A PERSON....LIKE ALEC SHOWS HIS TRUE COLORS TO THE PUBLIC. THIS MAN HAS MAJOR ANGER ISSUES.... RATHER THAN MANAGING IT (WIERD POPULAR TERM), HE SHOULD GET SOME SERIOUS HELP. THIS MAN HAS SO MUCH ANGER THAT IT'S SEAPING OUT OF HIS PORES. HE NEEDS SOME SERIOUS THERAPIES LIKE EFT. CHECK IT OUT ALEC. NO JUDGE SHOULD ALLOW THIS MAN AROUND A CHILD, THERE IS AND CAN BE SERIOUS DAMAGE DONE.... HE'S CAUSTIC AND NOT TREATED.

43. Many years ago when the movie MALICE was at the theaters I went to see it and sitting right next to me in the back row was Alec Baldwin and next to him was Kim Bassinger.Alec smelled great..had on some cologne.Anyway,before the film started Kim said she wanted to buy some refreshments.Hereached in his pocket and took out money to give her..he then said"don't forget to bring me back the change".Kim came back with her food...Alec them put his hand out and asked her where the money was.She seemed a bit surprized and then gave him a few dollars back and some change.
I just remember how bad I felt for her and Alec's controling nature showed.Kim was very uncomfortable being with him.

44. I think they are both pathetic, sad people who are unable to put the needs of their daughter first. Fine, you don't want to be married anymore and everyone knows you cannot stand one another - but for the sake of your child just end the fighting and try and be civil. This poor kid is going to spend years in therapy.

Of the two, I dislike Basinger but I despise Baldwin - that said, Basinger is very mean spirited -- I will never forget how she ridiculed Charles Gibson after she appeared on his morning show years ago. Made fun of his nose hair -- poor guy. Now she is so outraged that Baldwin is taking pot shots at her lawyer's appearance.
I agree with the earlier poster -- the attorney must be doing her job well and really getting to him for him to lash out that way.

Sad petty people -- they truly deserve one another -- wish they'd stayed together.

45. Alec: you sweaty, OVERWEIGHT, overly hairy, ugly, slimey pig! And I'm being nice. You are SO gross.

I'm no fan of Kim or Alec. She seems so strange to me. She was on Jay Leno a while back talking about opening a bag/box company -- explaining in boring detail what makes a good bad versus a bad bag. Scintillating!

But if I had to choose sides, I'd go with Kim. Alec just grosses me out!! BLECCCH!!

Calling the lawyer fat is really the pot calling the kettle black. At least she's not overcome with ugly body hair!
