Baldwin on divorce


Hollywood star Alec Baldwin is dishing the dirt on his divorce in a new self-help book for single fathers. Baldwin was banned by a court order from delving too deep into his split from Kim Basinger, which was made legal in 2002.

He explains in the opening pages of A Promise To Ourselves: Fatherhood, Divorce and Family Law, �What follows will disappoint those who hoped to find a gossipy, salacious tale of a show business marriage gone bad.� Instead he attacks the family court system, which he says has kept him apart from Ireland, his 12-year-old daughter with the actress.

He adds, �It is a system that is corrupt on his best day. It is like being tied to the back of a pickup truck and dragged down a gravel road late at night. No one can hear your cries and complaints and it is not over until they say it's over.�  

Baldwin did find time to take a swipe at Basinger at a bash on Friday, telling guests, �My ex-wife reaches an almost sexual level of satisfaction when she�s in a room full of high-priced lawyers.�
