'30 Rock' star Alec Baldwin says his former wife Kim Basinger is one of the most beautiful women that ever lived.
	Baldwin and Basinger, who were the most glamorous power-couples of the 90s, divorced in 2002 with a bitter court battle, particularly over their daughter Ireland, reported Us magazine.
	"(Ireland's) mother is obviously one of the most beautiful women that (has) ever lived - and even divorce doesn't muddy my view of that. Kim is one of the most beautiful women that ever lived and even Ireland sees that," Baldwin said.
	The actor is now happily married to Hilaria Thomas, who is expecting their child.
	Baldwin feels Basinger, 59, serves as a perfect role model for Ireland as she negotiates the worlds of modeling and acting.
	"The good news is my daughter is someone who somewhat understands... It's hard at that age to have that wisdom that beauty comes and goes," he added.

Actor Daniel Radcliffe would only agree to a cameo in any future 'Harry Potter' film, if he gets to play the schoolboy wizard's father.
	The 23-year-old actor believes he is too old to return as the titular character if another 'Harry Potter' film was made, and if JK Rowling wrote another fantasy novel in the series he would only want a cameo as Harry's father, reported Contactmusic.
	"Even if Jo did make another instalment, which is unlikely, I'd take a lot of talking round. I've done so much work to establish myself as something outside that series, I'd be really hesitant to go back.
	"I'm 23, which is too old to be running round in a schoolboy's cape. I'd never totally close the door. But no more schoolboy stuff. A cameo as Harry's dad? That would be perfect," Radcliffe said.
	The actor, who is currently starring in 'Kill Your Darlings', also said that he would love to land a supporting role in the next instalment of 'Star Wars'.
	"Franchise mustn't become a dirty word. If ...

Double Oscar-winner Christoph Waltz is all set to star in 'True Crimes', a thriller based on the real-life events surrounding a cold case.
	The 'Django Unchained' star has come on board to star in the thriller, which is based on David Grann's New Yorker feature about the real-life case of Krystian Bala, a Polish writer who was convicted of murder in 2007, the Hollywood Reporter said.
	The murder for which he was convicted had been a cold case, baffling the Polish police for years, and had been called a perfect crime.
	The case was reopened and the investigator managed to establish a link between the murder and the writer when he published a novel that detailed a murder very much similar to the true murder.
	Waltz, who became famous in Hollywood with his role of a brutal Nazi in 'Inglourious Basterds', is playing a positive role in the crime story.
	He will star as Jacek Wroblewski, the police officer who reopens the cold case.
