Kim Calls Alec "Unstable and Irrational"
Kim Basinger lashed out at Alec Baldwin yesterday, calling him "unstable and irrational" and unequivocally denying that she leaked Baldwin's vitriolic voicemail to daughter Ireland, first posted by TMZ.com.
In a statement released last night by her rep to OK! magazine, Basinger blamed the explosive custody battle between her and Baldwin on Alec's "ongoing aggressive behavior," and rejects any suggestion that it has anything to do with the "alleged alienation that Alec constantly refers to."
What's more, Basinger's rep insists that she "did not release the voicemail," but also says that the message "was not sealed under a court order." After hearing the tape, a judge temporarily barred Baldwin from having any contact with Ireland, and a full hearing on the matter is set for next week
Rosie Grabs Crotch, Tells Trump to "Eat Me"

One attendee called Ro's outburst "inappropriate," given that there were 17 teenage girls in the room, but her rep said, "She's a comedienne. She says things that are provocative."

Of course, as we all remember, Richards caused a worldwide sensation when he said that he'd mixed his father's ashes with cocaine and snorted them. He later retracted the comment, saying that his remark was "lost in the usual slanting."Party Favors: Sheryl Crow and Laurie David: Global Cooling Behind the Scenes? ...
