Interestingly enough Alec Baldwin seems to have left all his bitterness for ex-wife Kim Basinger by the wayside instigating rumours that their various court battles are now over.

Baldwin and Basinger have been arguing over custody rights to their young daughter Ireland ever since they split in 2000, but now he has been heard praising the aging actress.

Speaking on the Larry King Live show last week Baldwin said of Basinger: "My ex-wife was somebody who was funny and she was fun... and she was a lot of fun to be with.

"She was a great, great person. And then all of a sudden I think we just wanted to live different lives.

"But I think she's a great mother, yes, good mom."

Since his divorce Baldwin has revealed he is planning on writing a book for fathers on how they can beat the legal system after splitting from their wives.

Multi-talented or what?
