Kim and Ireland's Homecoming

Kim Basinger and daughter Ireland Baldwin arrived at Los Angeles International Airport yesterday afternoon.

Divorce proceedings for Alec Baldwin and Basinger that had been scheduled for yesterday were postponed -- and have yet to be rescheduled. No word on where Kim and Ireland are returning from or whether or not the postponement was due to their travels.

More prolonged drama for mama!

Alec Baldwin Gives His "View"

Alec Baldwin was welcomed with applause to a sitdown in a taped segment that aired on "The View" today, with Baldwin giving a heartfelt and somber tale of parental alienation that drove him to the boiling point.

Baldwin said that his "deep and endless frustration" in being unable to communicate with his daughter, Ireland, led him to misdirect his anger to the child, because he "can't address the other person in this dynamic," but stopped short of mentioning Kim Basinger.

The "30 Rock" star went on to address the topic of parental alienation and his frustration with a litigious and complicated custody battle. Baldwin said he was sorry for all those who were offended ... also mentioning how many people he'd heard from who had either been abused by a parent, or frustrated with an ex-wife, and those who were alienated from their children.

Kim Basinger Bow-Wows Out

Sabrina Sloan and Alaina AlexanderKim Basinger has been dogged by press and paparazzi since TMZ posted her ex-husband's barking voice mail, and perhaps that's why she had to uncollar from a committment to a pooch charity event.

Kim was scheduled to host the 6th Annual "Nuts For Mutts" Dog Show and Pet Fair near Los Angeles this past weekend, but was a no-show. Grr.

The event still had some star support minus Kim -- some good 'ol "Idol" castoffs! Sabrina Sloan and Alaina Alexander were both on hand to provide some leggy love for their four-legged pals. Woof.

Kim's reps were not available for comment.

Kim's Lawyer -- Alec Doesn't Have a Clue

Kim Basinger's lawyer says Alec Baldwin's response to the shocking message he left on Ireland's voice mail proves the actor is "out of touch" with reality.

After TMZ posted the voice mail, Baldwin's reps released a statement alleging Basinger and her lawyer leaked the material.

Basinger's high-powered celebrity attorney Neal Hersh has just responded, telling TMZ: "There is much I can say and have said in the past regarding Mr. Baldwin's responsibility for the relationship between him and his daughter Ireland." Hersh continues, "I am concerned that Mr. Baldwin's recent statement, wherein he attempts to shift responsibility to Kim and her lawyers for his issues with Ireland, shows just how out of touch he is with the reality and gravity of the situation."

Alec Baldwin's Condom Mania

Alec Baldwin plays a man sworn to protect and serve in his new movie "The Departed," but in real life, the actor admits when it comes to sex he often serves without protection.

The actor engaged in some risqué conversation with radio shock jock Howard Stern Wednesday morning and made one fact about his love life very clear -- Alec likes to party with hats off. After Stern turned the corner from a seemingly boring conversation about Alec's vacation interests, the shock jock cold-cocked Baldwin by asking, "What about your use of condoms? Do you use condoms with your girlfriend?" A confident Baldwin played along and replied, "No, never. I don't go for them."

After Alec's confession, Stern went on to praise the rubber prophylactics before revealing a secret about himself. "I love 'em because I don't like real contact. I'm a germ-a-phobe."

The stunning confession came on the same day the never-ending Baldwin custody battle was back in court. The judge deferred ruling on Baldwin's claim that ex-wife Kim Bassinger should be held in contempt of court. Basinger was arraigned earlier this month on a dozen misdemeanor counts of contempt for allegedly disobeying court orders concerning Baldwin's visitation time with their 10-year-old daughter Ireland.

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.

Her pearls and fine jewelry can be seen on the big screen and adorning the necks of such stars as Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman and Drew Barrymore. Kim Basinger wore one of Joann's delicate freshwater pearl, gold, and diamond necklaces in the recently released movie 'The Sentinel.' Joann's customers were so fond of Kim's look in the film, they have even brought their pearls in to be restyled in that fashion.

Alec Baldwin -- Vexatious Litigant?

Kim Basinger wants a Los Angeles judge to contain Alec Baldwin.

In legal papers filed Wednesday, Basinger's lawyer, Neal Hersh, asks that Baldwin be declared a "Vexatious Litigant." If the judge grants the request, Baldwin would have to seek the court's permission before filing any legal papers in his ongoing custody war with his ex-wife.

In the papers, Hersh argues that Baldwin has filed a flurry of legal papers that contain "fabricated renditions of the events and circumstances that have transpired between the parties for the sole purpose of keeping the respondent's name (Baldwin) in the public limelight...."

Divorce- Baldwin vs. Basinger

Alec Baldwin vs. Kim Basinger

Alec Baldwin vs. Kim Basinger

It's the divorce that will never end. Although a judge officially ended their marriage in 2002, the bitterness between them has reached epic proportions. We're told for the moment it's relatively peaceful, but there's an ominous caution -- every time there's a holiday, there's a fight.

The battle royale has centered around the former couple's 10-year-old daughter, Ireland. Kim has custody, Alec visitation. They have fought every step of the way. Alec has filed reports with the police, alleging Kim violated a court order by not turning Ireland over for visitation. Kim has accused Alec of upsetting their daughter with an alleged volcanic temper. Alec wanted the judge to order Kim to take co-parenting classes. He's accused her of substance abuse; an allegation she denied.

It's All About Eva

Citing Felicity Huffman's recent success in 'Transamerica' as an inspiration, Eva Longoria says she wants to be able to do both TV and film. Eva got her chance, via a personal invite from Michael Douglas, in the new thriller, 'The Sentinel.'

Longoria says she enjoyed offsetting the estrogen-dominated 'Desperate Housewives' with the testosterone-filled set of 'The Sentinel.'

The film, also starring Kiefer Sutherland and Kim Basinger, hits theaters April 21.

Confessions of a Body Double

Shelley Michelle will take it off -- for a price. And there are lots of takers.

The fitness model's body parts have subbed for Madonna, Sandra Bullock, Kim Basinger, Barbra Streisand and most famously, Julia Roberts' hooker character in 'Pretty Woman.'

"Working with Julia in 'Pretty Woman' was fun," Michelle says. They would often wear the same outfits, but for some reason Julia drew the line under her blouse. "She didn't want me to touch her bra during the entire shoot," laughs Shelley.

Michelle has since prospered, now running her own agency, Body Doubles and Parts Inc, which has over 1,000 models bearing some or all for the big screen.

"Body doubles have never been in greater demand," Michelle says. "Directors and producers want perfection and a lot of stars will agree because they are so self-conscious about their bodies." Michelle adds, "A lot of body doubles have plastic surgery themselves because competition is so fierce."

Michelle says traditionally, body doubles were treated like low-rent cattle. 'Pretty Woman' became a worldwide smash and turned Julia Roberts into a superstar, yet Michelle's pay-check was a scant $750 a week.

Since then, Michelle has fought hard and made significant inroads with the Screen Actors Guild. Body doubles now get the same standard rates as actors, often earning $2,000 a day whether they bare it all, or just a finger nail.

Michelle says stars frequently avoid fraternizing with their doubles, who are often told to avoid eye contact with them on the set.

As for the most memorable:

- Michelle says Kim Basinger threatened to sue her if she took credit for doubling in 'Final Analysis.'

- Michelle says Barbara Streisand was anything but a diva in "Prince of Tides," even taking the time to compliment Michelle on her legs.

- Michelle was a stand-in on the 'Basic Instict' set, but Sharon Stone insisted on doing the scenes that made her famous herself.
