Here's my take on the Alec Baldwin thing:
1) He obviously loves his daughter very much or he wouldn't have spent
$1 million in court costs to try and get visitation rights for her.
2) He apparently flies to LA from NY every other weekend to see her.
3) As the photo below attests (assuming it comes out), that smile on his
face can only be from a loving and doting father.
4) Something horrible is going on if Baldwin called his daughter such
names ("no brains", "vile pig", etc.). Something equally horrible is
going on in Kim Basinger's camp if they leaked that phone message in
violation of the court order not to.
5) If the judge in family court who presides over this case had any
sense, he/she will immediately remove Ireland from both Basinger's and
Baldwin's custody and place her in foster care, get her evaluated, get
the parents into joint therapy, and tell them that if they don't get
their act together, they aren't going to get their kid back.
