Baldwin and Basinger trade insults

Acotrs Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger have traded insults in a custody dispute over their 10-year-old daughter.

In court papers, Baldwin's lawyer claimed his ex-wife had "a pathological need" to turn their daughter, Ireland, against him, and asked for a psychological evaluation of the actress.

Basinger's lawyer said Baldwin had "severe emotional problems".

Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Maren Nelson found no reason to alter the custody agreement. The pair, who divorced in 2002, are due back in court next month.
