Alec Baldwin - Baldwin To Face Psychological Evaluation In Custody Battle

Hollywood star ALEC BALDWIN must face a detailed psychological examination to have any chance of winning extra custody of his daughter IRELAND. A judge in his bitter and prolonged court battle with ex-wife KIM BASINGER said the investigation is vital to determine whether the PEARL HARBOR star is brainwashing his 10-year-old child against her mother, as Basinger claims. The actor, who divorced Basinger in 2002, has one week to accept the court-appointed psychologist or plead for another. Last October (05) Baldwin alleged Basinger was the one in need of examination, insisting the 52-year-old actress had a "pathological need" to turn their daughter against him. Superior Court Commissioner MAREN E NELSON said on Friday (09JUN06), "Someone, an evaluator, needs to spend time with Ireland and the parents to work on that issue."
