Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin - Two People Who Plumb Don't Like Each Other


Divorced movie stars Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin continue to go after each other like pitbulls with the smell of blood in their noses.

In a recent GQ article, Baldwin called Basinger's lawyer Judy Bogen a "300-pound homunculus whose face looks like a cross between a bulldog and a clenched fist." So I guess that means he doesn't like her.

Basinger returned fire on Baldwin, saying, "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."

Oh lighten up Kim. It wasn't like he called you an old hag whose face is so pumped full of Botox it's in danger of being taken away by archaeologists and put on display in a mummy exhibit.

Let's face it, neither Kim nor Alec are exactly lighting up the ol' Hollywood hot-meter these days. Kim has done precisely squat with the cred she gained from winning the Oscar for L.A. Confidential, and Alec, despite a smashing performance in The Cooler, is basically on the fast-track to becoming a fatter, more abrasively liberal version of his brother Daniel.

As long as these two keep trading insults, we'll pay attention. As soon as they stop...ehhh.
