Alec Baldwin has his marching orders.

A Los Angeles court has appointed the psychological evaluator who will meet with the 48-year-old actor before he is allowed extra visitation privileges with his 10-year-old daughter Ireland.

Baldwin has been embroiled in an increasingly nasty custody battle with ex-wife Kim Basinger, with the two exchanging mental slings and arrows last year over each other’s fitness as a parent. When Baldwin asked that Basinger be forced to see a psychiatrist, accusing her of trying to turn their child against him, the 52-year-old actress responded with the claim that her ex suffered from “severe emotional problems.”

…

Nelson wholeheartedly agreed and last Thursday named Mary Lund to conduct Baldwin’s evaluation some time between now and July 20. The commissioner also ordered that Basinger and Ireland be available for interviews and counseling during that period, too.

Lund’s job will be to recommend whether Baldwin gets more or fewer visits and phone calls with his daughter this summer and whether Thursday can be added onto his three-day weekend privileges.

According to Nelson’s order, Lund also gets to determine whether Baldwin and Basinger need further counseling to improve their communication and parenting skills and whether Ireland wouldn’t benefit from a few more sessions with a trained professional, as well.

So, not only does Mary Lund, a counsellor, get to determine whether Baldwin gets more time with his daughter, but she also gets to determine whether or not both Basinger and Baldwin, as well as their daughter, would benefit from more counselling.

What kind of racket is that? Of course she is going to recommend that they all need further counselling.

You don’t have to be a “psychological evaluator” to see that Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger are totally screwed in the head.
