After Ireland failed to answer her father's scheduled morning phone call from New York on April 11, Alec went berserk on her voice mail, saying "Once again, I have made an ass of myself trying to get to a phone," adding, "you have insulted me for the last time."Switching his train of thought, Baldwin then exercised his incredible parenting skills and took a shot at his ex-wife, declaring, "I don't give a damn that you're 12-years-old or 11-years-old, or a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care about what you do." The irate Baldwin went on to say, "You've made me feel like s**t" and threatened to "straighten your ass out."
"This crap you pull on me with this goddamn phone situation that you would never dream of doing to your mother," screamed Baldwin, "and you do it to me constantly over and over again."
Before hanging up, Baldwin warned the child, "You better be ready Friday the 20th to meet with me." That's tomorrow.
We've learned that on Wednesday, Los Angeles County Superior Court commissioner Maren Nelson heard the tape and temporarily suspended Baldwin's visitation rights. A hearing is set for May 4, where the judge could permanently deny Baldwin visitation or contact with Ireland.
We shouldn't be surprised -- anyone who has ever heard Alec Baldwin give an interview with anyone but the most fawning reporter knows that he has serious anger management problems -- and believes his own press releases that he is the greatest actor on the planet. Why should we be surprised that he would speak this way to his own child?
Hey, Alec -- the universe does not revolve around Uranus.
UPDATE: HereÂ’s an appropriate decision by Baldwin.
Alec Baldwin has taken a vow of silence after a recording of a volcanic tirade by the actor to his 11-year-old daughter appeared in US media reports.
No great loss, especially if this becomes a vow of perpetual silence.

Hell, for get the divorce -- nothing could ever justify such verbal abuse directed at an 11-year-old child.
Methinks the Baldwin/Bassinger divorce/child custody case just got much simpler for a family court to deal with -- and that Baldwin probably ought to be denied unsupervised visitation with Ireland in light of his actions here. After all, we get a very clear insight into how he conducts himself owards her in private -- and how he likely conducted himself towards his ex-wife as well.
