Remember when Alec Baldwin railed against his then-11-year-old daughter, Ireland, in that now infamous voicemail message? Well, he claims he was suffering from Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) and has written a memoir, A Promise to Ourselves, about his devastating divorce and child custody battle with Kim Basinger. But what exactly is PAS and why is it so controversial?

I don’t believe in pre-nups, but if I was going to have one, it would have to say something about the dog. Lucca is comin’ with me should I ever get divorced. More and more couples are going to court over custody of their pets, battling for full custody, joint custody, or at the very least, visitation rights. But poor kitties! Apparently 90% of pet custody cases involve dogs. Puss ‘N’ Boots gets no love… [USA Today]

Jamie Hope had been accepting child support from Kenneth Samuels since 1997, despite suspicions that another ex-lover, Oba Wallace, was her kid’s father.  As the kid grew up, a strong resemblance to Mr. Wallace emerged and eventually, it became obvious enough that Samuels petitioned the court for a paternity test to establish custody. Although Mr. Samuels had sent child support for the past 11 years because he felt he had no reason to doubt he was the baby daddy, the test proved once and for all that he wasn’t in fact the father. The court ruled that Mr. Wallace and Ms. Hope should repay Samuels for all his payments over the past decade, which totaled $14,460.  Whoa, having kids in Georgia is cheaper than a fuel efficient Prius!  This whole debacle made us think of Maury Povich and his awesome “You Are Not The Father!”-episodes. Check this guy out! [Note: The dude in this Maury Povich clip isn’t any of the people mentioned in this story, we just thought it was funny.—Editor]
