Despite a banner professional year with twin tour-de-force outings in The Departed and 30 Rock, Alec Baldwin gave one regrettable and involuntarily public performance in April 2007. TMZ.com posted a leaked voicemail tirade he unleashed against his 11-year-old daughter, Ireland, in which he calls her a ''thoughtless little pig'' for missing his court-approved phone time with her. In subsequent public apologies, the actor said he was simply frustrated by his long-running custody battle with ex Kim Basinger. Baldwin even said during a View interview that he'd asked NBC to let him out of his 30 Rock contract so he could focus on his daughter and the issue of paternal rights. (He later opted to honor his contract with the network.) Marc Bernardin
