Was there ever a more public, and embarrassing custody battle than the fight between Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger? They had a public war over their daughter, Ireland.

Ultimately, Alec cost himself the custody battle when his voicemail calling his daughter some unkind names was released to the public.
