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.

46. They both need to grow up!
They need to love their daughter more than they hate each other.

47. I think I remember something about Mr. Baldwin making a comment that went something like this. "If Bush becomes President, I am moving to Canada." Well, what is taking you so long to get there 'Alec the puke'. I don't think anyone will be running to the movie theaters to see him. Kim, his ex-wife, now, that's a different story. Keep fighting for your daughter, Kim.

49. I have to agree Punk B*tch --- calling that lawyer a bulldog is an insult to bulldogs everywhere -- I think they should sue her for fraudulent impersonation!

As for everyone who has mentioned the 'if Bush wins I'm moving out of the country thing'... that was two years ago. If you don't have a new quote by now - you didn't really have that much to start with now did you?

When it comes to acting - Alec is the better actor.
When it comes to their daughter - they both need personal therapy & parenting lessons.
When it comes to personalities - I'll take Alec's personality (though political and loudly voiced) over Kim's personality (I'm a victim so do what I want - whah! - gimme, gimme) any day.
As for looks - Kim was pretty in her younger years, which got her far, but unfortunately beauty fades and she's got nothing else to fall back on.
Alec is your typical middle-aged man, they are larger than they were at 25 (let's face it), but at least he has some intelligence to help him in his later years.

Take it easy everyone.

50. Yikes. Can you imagine what he's like when he's alone with her (Kim)?

52. Oh what do expect from a foul mouthed dirty Liberal like Alec.

53. OMG!!! What a Bully....Hope Kim gets what ever she needs to be rid of this crazed lunatic.........

54. Kim Basinger is NO actress!! Have you seen her in CELLULAR? I have seen better acting in a kindergarten play! As for Alec Baldwin, maybe he has had his share of bad publicity, but if Kim is not allowing the daughter to see her father then Kim GETS WHAT SHE DESERVES!!Boo Hoo, Kim and Alec are divorced,get over it and take care of the child!I am married to a man whose ex-wife pulled the SAME stunt with his kids, wouldn't allow them visitation, well, guess what? WE NOW HAVE SOLE CUSTODY WITH HER RIGHTS BEING STRIPPED!So, Kim, keep it up, I am SURE Alec can do a better job than a washed up street whore as yourself!!

55. Aaaahhhhh................the "borderline caretaker environment." For all of you passive-aggressive, histrionic misandrists.........it takes two , not one. My inclination regarding this fiasco is that AB just figured out what it's like to be a divorced male in the United States, and because he's dealing with a liberal family court system that panders to the neurotic left, he now recognizes that the state would rather destroy the child than address the emotional immaturity of both parents. Leave it to Division 44 of the APA (the only professional body in the United States to obtain total censure from the US House of Representatives, exclusive of two members that belong to the APA) in revising the DSM manual that neurotic women could no longer be addressed as self-defeating, sadistic, periluteal phasic, borderline psychotic, even if they are. Now do you understand the reality of this culture war and its distinct parallels to Germany in the 1930's?

56. I personally saw Alec Baldwin's out of control behavior during the filming Of Pearl Harbor in Corpus Christi. It was shocking and the absolute rage at such a minor thing as having been given the wrong cast time call by the director was ridiculous especially since he was yelling at an assistant.
As a Police Officer observing this idiot, had it not occurred in a compound surrounded by trailers and he would have been arrested had it been within public view. Flat out he is a jerk and not a very talented one at that.

57. Poor Kim Basinger. Being at the effect of that kind of malignant narcissisim when all you want to do is protect your child is a bitter pill. I knew AB couldn't maintain his public facade forever, so at least there's some poetic justice for her in that. Not much in it all for Ireland, though.

58. Alex is just trying to torture Kim. From what I gather no other women will have anything to do with him, so he is taking his frustration out on Kim.

No one can stand to work with him anymore, which is why you don't see him very much. I'm was really surprised to hear he has a new series out and will be watching to see how long it lasts.

I was married to a man like this as well, and the hatred that is below the surface is a stroke waiting to happen. Hopefully he will have that stroke soon and Kim can live in peace.

I used to like Alec but people can change, and I wouldn't even want his autograph now.
