MEET HILLARY SCOTT


Hillary Scott (born February 3, 1983) is an American pornographic actress.

Biography

Hillary Scott has took the crown from queens of porno from Jenna Jamison and Sabana and started a unique affair with the American public. Originally from Naperville, Illinois, Scott grew up in Chicago, Illinois. She first became interested in pornography at age 11 when, after her mother put cable in her room, Scott would watch Cinemax late at night. During high school, she dated a fellow female student and didn't have sex with a man until age 18.[1] On "Inside the Porn Actor's Studio" that originally aired on February 5th, 2007, she admitted that she lost her virginity to a guy at age 18. Right before this fact, she admitted that her first sexual act was to her step-sister at age 11.

She worked for a time in a bank after graduating from high school, but became bored with it and resented having to wear formal attire and remove her body piercings. In a 2005 interview, she stated she has social anxiety disorder.[2]

Scott was married for six months after graduating from high school.

She moved to Los Angeles in 2004 to enter the adult film industry. Scott's first scene was for New Sensations, which paired her with Mark Ashley.[2] After acting in numerous gonzo films which featured her performances in anal sex scenes, she starred in the larger budgeted feature Darkside with Penny Flame in 2005. At the AVN Awards 2006, Scott won awards for "Best Oral Sex Scene - Film" and "Best Group Sex Scene - Film" for her role in Darkside. She also was awarded the XRCO Awards for "Best New Starlet" and "Orgasmic Oralist" on April 20, 2006. Scott often uses dirty talk in her scenes, and works without condoms in all her boy/girl scenes.

On May 15, 2006, she was the first ever guest on the Sirius Satellite Radio show Inside the Porn Actors Studio. Hosted by Howard Stern Show contributor Richard Christy, the hour-long program was Sirius channel Howard 101's spoof of the television series Inside the Actors Studio, with Christy filling the James Lipton role.

Scott replaced Jessica Sweet in the role of "Britney Rears" for the movie Britney Rears 3: Britney Gets Shafted. In this strange social phenomenon, she is emerging as a new icon building the culture of generations coming out of their shells.

CLINTON'S NEW GIRLFRIEND

She once wanted to run Canada. She may have to make do with Chrysler instead, says eric reguly

Canada's dreary political scene, dominated by pudgy white guys in cheap suits, just lost its one bit of glamour. Belinda Stronach - heiress, babe, twice-divorced alleged home-wrecker and sometime consort of Bill Clinton - is calling it quits.

After a three-year experiment as a Member of Parliament, she's returning to the company her father Frank Stronach built, Magna International, the world's third largest auto parts maker. Say what you want about her - "all butt, no brains" was one of the less flattering quips - the woman knows when to cut her losses.


Known just as Belinda, in Canada, she traded the CEO's job at Magna in 2004 for a career in politics (Frank, now 75, was, and remains, chairman). She made a splashy debut but soon showed remarkably poor judgment. Having joined the Conservatives, then in opposition, she crossed the floor after a year to the ruling Liberals and was awarded a minor Cabinet post. But it was a bad move for 'Sell-out Barbie,' as she become known.

In early 2006, the Liberals, mired in a scandal, went down in flames. Belinda considered competing in the Liberal leadership race to replace deposed PM Paul Martin. Faced with formidable rivals, among them writer Michael Ignatieff and pro-Kyoto environment guru Stephane Dion, she dropped out.

Dion, the winner, gave her nothing to do. Several months in backbench Siberia were apparently enough to convince her that being rich, cute is not enough to lead people, so, she has decided to became the Canadian Paris Hilton getting her consolation prize....Bill, but a real scary rival arm with all the experience in that kind of tournaments....Hillary.




Her father’s company, Magna, could save Chrysler from oblivion.. make Clinton the real "latin lover" and take us all to remember that great film in which Warren Betty played a skilful professional gigolo: Roman Spring.







DID YOU KNOW THAT 10 YEARS AGO........?


Danny Boy and child support



What's the definition of irony?

On the last day of 1998, while 13-year-old Danny Williams was awaiting the results of a DNA test he and his prostitute mother believe will prove Bill Clinton is Danny's biological father, the president announced a sweeping new federal child-support crackdown designed to harness all the coercive power of Washington in squeezing America's deadbeat dads.

Danny Williams
I'm not kidding. For anyone who didn't think it was possible for Clinton to humiliate himself, his family and his country more than he already has in sex, lies and hypocrisy scandals, get ready for Danny-gate.


Now, in the interest of full disclosure, this is a story that has been kicking around for a long time. I first saw the photo of young Danny about six or seven years ago and was struck with the likeness to Clinton. But a face alone does not make for proof. Photos do lie. So do some down-and-out mothers. But, generally speaking, DNA tests don't.

That's why it will be very interesting to see what tabloid reporter Richard Gooding comes up with when Danny Williams' DNA is compared to the sample Clinton gave Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's investigators in the matter of the semen-stained dress.

Danny has reportedly been told his entire life that he is Clinton's son. His mother, Bobbie Ann, says she conceived her son during a paid sex act with Clinton. She reportedly passed a lie-detector test.

How was a story like this bottled up for all these years? Thank the Clinton attack machine. When political consultant Steve Denari, director of Ross Perot's Illinois campaign, informed George Stephanopolous that he was ready to go public with the story before the 1992 election, he was warned he would never work in Democratic Party politics again.

"It's completely bull----!" barked Stephanopolous. "If you went on the radio and said that Bill Clinton is the father of an illegitimate black child, you will be laughed at. People will think you're crazy. ... You will be embarrassed before the national press corps. People will think, nobody will believe you, and people will think you're scum."

Stephanopolous also broadly hinted that, if the story went away, there might be something in it for Denari. Hmmmm. Maybe some dinero for Denari? Blackmail, threats, extortion. The Clinton slime machine has proved time and time again that playing hardball still works in American politics.

But that was then and this is now.

If the DNA match is positive, will Clinton's defenders be able to spin their way out of this web? Thirteen years without paying child support is a long time. What will the ensuing scandal mean to Clinton's staunchest bases of support -- America's black community and U.S. women? And how will the president's newest child-support initiative play politically after this revelation?

In announcing the crackdown on deadbeat dads, the White House said: "Despite record child-support collections, there are still too many parents who flagrantly ignore their obligations to their children, and the president will propose to spend $46 million to identify, investigate and prosecute these deadbeat parents."

"Since taking office, President Clinton has made child-support enforcement a top priority, and those efforts are paying off for children across America," the statement continued.

Danny Williams will, no doubt, be grateful to hear that. But will it take a DNA test, once again, to get Clinton to admit his offense? Or, this time, with Clinton facing an impeachment trial, will he ever admit anything? Is anything ever enough with Clinton?

Well, talk about being hoist by one's own petard, in June Clinton signed into law the Deadbeat Parents Punishment Act, creating two new categories of federal felonies for the most egregious child-support violators, a measure he had called for in his 1997 State of the Union address.

So, if it's more high crimes and misdemeanors the Senate is looking for, maybe Bill Clinton's mistreatment of Danny Williams and his mother, Bobbie Anne, for all these years will prove to be the last straw.

Under Clinton's new scheme, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will establish investigative teams in five regions of the country to identify and investigate cases for prosecution. The Justice Department promises aggressive prosecutions and convictions of this new felony class of crimes. No word on whether Janet Reno will name an independent counsel to look into the issues surrounding the First Son.


THE MAGIC OF JEFF GORDON


PHOENIX - Jeff Gordon reminisced about his memories of Dale Earnhardt on Saturday night after tying his record of 76 wins, sixth on the all-time victory list.

There were the chrome horn kisses and the circulation-stopping hugs. The Intimidator never stopped testing The Kid's mettle even after the No. 24 convincingly won four Cup titles and challenged the No. 3 at tracks like Daytona and Talladega. Who could have imagined that Gordon would have earned two Harley J. Earl trophies for winning the Daytona 500 before Earnhardt won his first? Gordon won four consecutive Southern 500s at Darlington Raceway — a feat no other driver accomplished in 54 years.

  • As much as Big E liked "to shove" The Kid around on the racetrack, their relationship off the track was very different.

    "Senior and I had a rivalry on the racetrack, we loved to beat one another, we battled hard on the track," Gordon said. "He was very good at not carrying that off the racetrack. The way he treated me off the racetrack I understood where the boundaries were and felt very fortunate."

    That's why when Gordon honored Earnhardt in Phoenix he wanted to carry out the gesture in a respectful manner. He did so by carrying a black flag emblazoned with the No. 3 around the racetrack.

    "It was an important win and we're going to hold onto that flag for a long time," said Gordon, who extended his points lead by 74 over Jeff Burton. "We wanted to do something cool for Dale and pay tribute to him. I had so much fun racing with him and I miss him a lot out there. To do something he has done in this sport is pretty overwhelming for anybody, and it is for me. I can't believe that we've won 76 races, and, you know, it feels good to get back into victory lane and just to be able to hold that flag.

    "I was afraid some people might think we were trying to get the Earnhardt fans or think that we're, you know, saying we're as good as him, and that wasn't the case. We just wanted to honor him. It felt really good that Junior came in and really accepted that that way."

    Gordon entered NASCAR's Cup division in 1992 when Earnhardt was bigger than life. He had already won five of his seven Winston Cup championships in a time when NASCAR wanted to move beyond its southern roots but didn't quite know how to get there. Earnhardt was pivotal in leading the charge.

    A quick timeline for the nouveau fan:

    1979: CBS televises the first flag-to-flag running of the Daytona 500 featuring the finish that ignited the brawl between Cale Yarborough and the Allison Brothers — Bobby and Donnie. Dale Earnhardt exhibits early potential at Daytona. He starts 10th in the No. 2 Rod Osterlund Buick, leads 10 laps and finishes eighth. Earnhardt wins his first career race at Bristol (on April Fool's Day, 28 days shy of his 28th birthday), finishes seventh in the point standings and wins rookie-of-the-year honors.

  • 1980: Earnhardt scores five victories, 19 top fives and 24 top 10s and won his first Cup championship in his sophomore season. Wrangler comes on board with Earnhardt for the final race.

    1981: After 16 races, Osterlund runs out of money. Earnhardt spends four races with Jim Stacy before joining forces with Richard Childress Racing. Although Earnhardt finished seventh in points, Childress admits to growing pains and suggests Earnhardt align with a team where he can win championships. Ricky Rudd jumps in the RCR car.

    1982: Earnhardt joins forces with Bud Moore and brings the Wrangler sponsorship. He posts one win, one pole and finishes 12th in the point standings.

    1983: The season starts miserably with eight DNFs in the first nine races — including five engine failures. Earnhardt posts two wins but with 13 DNF's he finishes eighth in points. At season's end, Earnhardt returns to the No. 3.

    1984-2001: The Childress years. Earnhardt wins his first of six titles with R.C. in 1986. He retains the title in 1987 with a blowout 11 wins, 21 top fives and 24 top 10s. The only year Earnhardt missed the top 10 in points with Childress was 1992. He came back with a vengeance in 1993 to hoist his sixth Winston Cup. Earnhardt's final title came in 1994, before the trophy was passed to Gordon the following year. Earnhardt won his one and only Daytona 500 in 1998. It was his only trophy that year as the No. 3 team transitioned from crew chief Larry McReynolds to Kevin Hamlin. Gordon won his third title and Earnhardt finished eighth in the standings.

    The No. 3 car was back on track in 2000. Earnhardt won two races — including Talladega — finished second in the standings and lost the title to Bobby Labonte by 265 points. The team hadn't been this cohesive since the Andy Petree days. NASCAR had a new TV contract entering 2001 and the future for the sport was white hot.

    It was to be a key year for Earnhardt as well. His three DEI teams were solidly funded and progressing. His calendar was packed — especially April. After Terry Labonte's wreck in 2000, he was passing Earnhardt the Iron Man torch to symbolize the driver with the most consecutive starts. There was a huge merchandising campaign surrounding the event that was to occur in Talladega. The other milestone was Earnhardt's 50th birthday the following week at California.

    In a very strange turn of events, Bobby Hamilton won the Talladega race that spring — the first win as an owner for Earnhardt's former crew chief Petree. Earnhardt's future son-in-law Jimmy Elledge was the car's crew chief. And on what would have been Earnhardt's birthday at California, his longtime rival and friend Rusty Wallace won the race and carried the No. 3 flag around the track for his victory lap. Gordon was the runner up and Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished third.

    It's hard to roll into Talladega and not think of all the memorable moments that Earnhardt left behind. It's quite possible Gordon could surpass the 76-race mark this weekend, two days before Earnhardt would have celebrated his 56th birthday.

    Considering the trash dump the track turned into the last time Gordon beat Dale Jr. at Talladega, is he concerned what the fans' reaction might be if he achieves win 77 at Talladega?

    "I better carry a flag there, too," Gordon said. "They might not throw things at me. I think I might just carry the flag around for the whole race."

    LEGAL MUSIC DOWLOADS

    Links to Tens of Thousands of Legal Music Downloads

    Enjoy free music without getting in trouble by downloading the legal MP3s many musicians provide as a way to promote themselves.


    You don't need to worry about getting sued by the Recording Industry Assocation of America or arrested by the FBI if you download legal music. Many independent and unsigned musicians offer downloads of their music in hopes of attracting more fans. Here's some music from my friends Oliver Brown and Rick Walker's Loop.pooL as well as my own piano compositions.

    If everyone started downloading legal music instead of violating copyright with the file sharing programs, we would make short work of the RIAA, because people would start buying CDs directly from the artists and seeing their shows instead of enriching the major labels by buying CDs from the bands the labels have chosen for us to listen to. The RIAA would also have no cause to complain - these music downloads do not infringe copyright because the artists give you permission to download them.

    THE LAST KING OF ENGLAND?

    Prince William



    Boisterous and at times rebellious as a child, Prince William has matured into a studious and sensitive young man. Born on June 21, 1982, Prince William Arthur Philip Louis Windsor is the eldest son of Diana, Princess of Wales and Charles, Prince of Wales. From an early age he was already breaking with tradition. The fact that his mother gave birth in London's St Mary's Hospital made him the first crown prince not to be born at the palace and, unlike his father and paternal grandmother, who had private tutors, he attended nursery school.

    In 1995, after spells at Wetherby prep school in Kensington and Ludgrove, he became the first future monarch to attend Eton College, one of Britain's most prestigious secondary schools. There he excelled at sports - particularly swimming - and settled down to become a serious student.

    His parents divorced in 1996, and the following year he showed great strength in coping with the devastating news of his mother's death in a car crash in Paris. With immense courage he insisted on walking behind Princess Diana's hearse in the funeral procession. A year later, William issued a joint statement with his younger brother, Prince Harry, asking both press and public to let the two of them get on with their lives in peace. It was a tactic which proved largely successful, and the Prince voiced his appreciation at the tenth anniversary of the Press Complaints Commission in February 2001, his first official engagement.

    After graduating from Eton with 12 GCSEs and three A-levels, William decided to study art history at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. Adopting a modern approach to the monarchy, he asked to be enrolled simply as "William Wales".

    Before embarking upon his studies in the autumn of 2001, William opted to take a gap year in order to travel. This included a ten-week stint doing community work in Chile, and 15 weeks studying conservation in Africa. Meanwhile, student applications skyrocketed at St Andrews, with British applications rising by 44 per cent and the number of overseas applicants doubling.

    In an interview marking the start of his four years at the venerable institution, Wills insisted he planned to continue as normal a life as possible. "I just want to go to university and have fun – I want to be an ordinary student," he said, adding: "I'm only going to university. It's not like I'm getting married – though that's what it feels like sometimes."

    And entering the next stage in his education wasn't all smooth sailing, with reports of the Prince changing courses or even dropping out entirely appearing in the press. Eighteen months into his studies, the Prince admitted his adjustment at St Andrews had been quite a rocky path. "It's new surroundings, new scenery and I wasn't quite sure what to expect," he said in the run-up to his 21st birthday. Feeling "a little uneasy", and unsure about whether to continue, he went home during the holidays to get some solid advice from dad. "My father was very understanding about it and realised I had the same problems he probably had... In the end we both realised – I definitely realised – that I had to come back."

    Friends say he was also helped greatly by fellow-student Kate Middleton, who has since become his girlfriend. The pretty brunette has become an important figure in William's life, meeting the Queen and winning the approval of the rest of the royal family for her loyalty and good sense. Kate has received advice on dealing with the immense media interest, and William is keen to protect her safety with bodyguards when necessary. The pair share a love of the countryside coupled with the enjoyment of the bright lights of the city, and have become regulars at some of London's most exclusive eateries and night spots. While William remains reticent about marriage, royal observers note that Kate's ever-increasing presence in the young prince's life may well soon lead to wedding bells.

    Despite his many commitments, the hunky royal spends a good deal of time at Windsor Castle with the Queen, who is very concerned with his upbringing and career development. Indeed, she could not hide her delight as she inspected the troops passing out of Sandhurst in December 2006, showing a grandmother's pride as William graduated from a year's military training to become an Army Officer. William has said he intends to spend a year on familiarisation attachments with the RAF and Navy, before devoting himself to the myriad of tasks facing the well-mannered, responsible future monarch.

    EVERY BODY IN LOVE WITH DANICA

    Danica Patrick


    Birth Place: Beloit, Wisconsin, USA
    Date of Birth: March 25, 1982
    Heritage: American

    Show Me What You Got

    Background:

    “I drive pretty fast even on the highway in my Lamborghini. I don’t like to drive at enormous top speed, but I do like to drive a little bit faster than everyone else. So if everybody on the highway is doing 80, I’ll do 82 or something, and if people are driving 60, I’ll want to do 62. I think there’s something in my blood, in my instincts, that makes me want to overtake.” Danica Patrick (in an interview with Newsweek, 2006)

    First exposing herself to the racing world in the go-kart arena, Danica Patrick has become one of the few female IndyCar racers. In 2005, she was named the “IRL Rookie of the Year.” Previously, Patrick sharpened her racing skills in England and scored phenomenal success in such competitions as the Formula Ford Festival and the Toyota Atlantic Championship. However, she still faces negative opinions from several journalists, IndyCar fans and drivers. Some say she benefited from the low body weight and the status of being a female driver. Also, a former racer stated it is a men’s sport, not a women’s.

    Outside the race track, Patrick published an autobiography titled “Danica - Crossing the Line” in April 2006. One of the 2006 People Magazine’s “100 Most Beautiful People,” the driver once rejected the offer to pose for Playboy. She is married to physical therapist/personal trainer Paul Edward Hospenthal and resides in Scottsdale, Arizona.


    GED

    Childhood and Family:

    Danica Sue Patrick was born on March 25, 1982, in Beloit, Wisconsin. Ten-year old Danica became interested in racing after seeing sister Brooke race as a hobby. Danica dropped out of Hononegah Community High School and earned a GED instead.

    Danica is married to physical therapist/personal trainer Paul Edward Hospenthal, whom she first met while treating her injured hip. The couple walked down the aisle on November 19, 2005, in Scottsdale, Arizona, where they now live.


    Pretty Rookie

    Career:

    “Everybody loves to cheer for the under dog, and I definitely am. I’m a rookie.” Danica Patrick

    In the dawn of the 1990s, Danica Patrick began racing in the go-kart circuit. She then moved to England in 1998 and competed in several open-wheel series, including the Formula Ford and the Formula Vauxhall. She also became the first American and the first woman to reach the second position in the Formula Ford Festival in England. Patrick, who in 2001 won the Gorsline Scholarship award, next participated in the Toyota Atlantic Championship and finished third in its 2004 season.

    Returning to the United States, Patrick began driving in the IRL IndyCar Series in 2005. Her first performance in the competition was at the Indianapolis 500, where she started and finished in fourth position. That season, Patrick finished 12th with 325 points. Before long, she was named the “IRL Rookie of the Year.”

    In January 2006, Patrick participated in the 24-hour racing competition “Rolex 24 at Daytona.” She, however, had to withdraw from the first race in the 2006 IRL IndyCar Series following the death of teammate Paul Dana. At the end of the 2006 season, Patrick scored a 12th and a 9th place finish in the point standings.

    After concluding her four-year partnership with Rahal Letterman Racing, Patrick announced (on July 25, 2006) she signed with Andretti Green Racing. She is set to drive the No.7 Dallara car, replacing racer Bryan Herta, in 2007. Kathleen Finato from Motorola, Inc., which sponsored the Andretti team, commented, “Danica Patrick is changing the rules in motorsports by proving a female driver can be a consistent threat to win at every event. As innovative, stylish and edgy as she is, she’s the perfect ambassador for the Motorola brand.”

    Meanwhile, Patrick’s skill and beauty also brought her to the screen, where she recently made a cameo appearance in Jay-Z’s “Show Me What You Got” (2006) video, alongside racecar driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. She also became the inspiration for the newly introduced Tissot limited-edition timepiece called “T-Touch” and appeared in commercials for “Secret” deodorant.

    KILLER TAPES: GOOD OR BAD?


    The Killer Tapes

    Although some TV viewers expressed outrage at NBC News's decision to broadcast the tapes that Virginia Tech killer Cho Seung-hui sent to it on the day of his attacks, the network's NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams surged well ahead of its rivals Wednesday, according to Nielsen Research. After trailing ABC's World News With Charles Gibson for weeks, the NBC newscast drew a 7.5 rating and a 15 share, 23 percent above ABC's 6.1/12 and 79 percent ahead of the 4.2/8 for the CBS Evening News With Katie Couric.

    Nevertheless, the use of the killer's tapes was being roundly condemned on some websites -- particularly those that have frequently attacked what they refer to as the MSM (mainstream media). On NewsBusters.org, operated by the conservative Media Research Center, contributing editor Noel Sheppard wrote, "What kind of a world do we live in where a bloodbath such as this can happen, and within 48 hours, the assailant can have a video played on national television like the debut of a new Madonna tune?" Cliff Kincaid, editor of the watchdog group Accuracy in Media, wrote, "NBC is playing into the cold, dead hands of a mass murderer, exploiting his paranoid delusions for ratings and profit."

    But NBC was taken to task even on the liberal Huffington Post blog. Harry Shearer warned, "a hundred thousand self-pitying mentally ill young men (and women?) have just been shown the road to glory one more time." On NBC's Today show co-host Meredith Vieira said that family members of the VT victims had "canceled their appearances because they were very upset with NBC for airing the images" of the killer. Her colleague Matt Lauer then indicated that there were "some big differences of opinion right within this news division as to whether we should be airing this stuff at all." On ABC's competing Good Morning America forensic psychologist Michael Welner appealed to all media outlets to "stop showing this video now. Take it off the Internet. ... Showing the video is a social catastrophe." In Roanoke, VA, near Virginia Tech, the NBC affiliate said it would not air the video locally. "To do so would only cause further pain to an already suffering community," it said. Fox News Channel also decided to cease broadcasting the tapes.

    On the other hand, Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, told the New York Times, "While reasonable people may disagree, it was clear [NBC News executives] were trying to exercise restraint." A writer to the TVNewser website commented, "If we allow the caretakers of the news ... to self-censor themselves worrying about the feelings of a viewer, that's a slippery slope that this DEMOCRACY ... does not want to go down."

    Bob Steele, who teaches ethics at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies, told the Philadelphia Inquirer that the video "provided one more lens into who the killer was and what motivated him to carry out that slaughter." Andrew Tyndall, whose Tyndall Report monitors the nightly newscasts, commented, "Of course it was correct to show the tape. It was a vivid and informative demonstration of the young man's despair, rage, anguish and humiliation."

    And even at Fox News, analyst Eric Burns acknowledged that had the news media refused to air the tapes, they would have been attacked for that instead. On his Daily Nightly blog, NBC anchor Brian Williams wrote "there was no joy" in being the recipient of the tapes. "To the contrary: opening each computer video snippet for the first time was a sickening and harrowing experience -- and it's good to know that the worst of them -- all now in the hands of investigators -- will never see the light of day."

    MARTINA MCBRIDE: SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT

    cover
    To paraphrase Morrissey, you knew it was gonna happen someday, and this week it did: the Sanjaya phenomenon came to an end. In the end, he was undone by a knowing but dull version of "Let's Give Them Something to Talk About" that left little to discuss other than his hair -- a fact so obvious he acknowledged it in his sing-out on Thursday night. Sanjaya might have dominated country night, but there were plenty of other things to talk about, including Simon's scandalous eye-roll and its subsequent split-screen dissection, Chris R stumbling on the road to "Mayberry," Melinda's sassy western swing, and Phil's shockingly believable transformation into a country star. AMG's crew of Idols discuss it all and more in their weekly roundtable.

    ALEC BALDWIN AGAIN?



    An enraged Alec Baldwin unleashed a volcanic tirade of threats and insults on his 11-year-old daughter, Ireland, calling her a "thoughtless little pig," and bashing her mother Kim Basinger -- and TMZ has obtained the whole thing unfiltered and raw. And we've learned, a family law judge was so alarmed after hearing the tape, she has temporarily barred Baldwin from having any contact with his child.

    After Ireland failed to answer her father's scheduled phone call from New York on April 11, Alec went berserk on her voice mail, saying "Once again, I have made an ass of myself trying to get to a phone," adding, "you have insulted me for the last time."

    Switching his train of thought, Baldwin then exercised his incredible parenting skills and took a shot at his ex-wife, declaring, "I don't give a damn that you're 12-years-old or 11-years-old, or a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care about what you do." The irate Baldwin went on to say, "You've made me feel like s**t" and threatened to "straighten your ass out."

    "This crap you pull on me with this goddamn phone situation that you would never dream of doing to your mother," screamed Baldwin, "and you do it to me constantly over and over again."

    Before hanging up, Baldwin warned the child, "You better be ready Friday the 20th to meet with me." That's tomorrow.

    We've learned that on Wednesday, Los Angeles County Superior Court commissioner Maren Nelson heard the tape and temporarily suspended Baldwin's visitation rights. A hearing is set for May 4, where the judge could permanently deny Baldwin visitation or contact with Ireland.

    Calls to Basinger's attorneys, celebrity lawyers Neal Hersh and Judy Bogen, were not returned.

    Baldwin's lawyer, Vicki Greene, told TMZ, "Whatever happened yesterday was sealed and confidential. What you're telling me you've got you shouldn't have."
