Basinger to explain in court

Kim Basinger

Kim Basinger has been ordered to appear in court to explain why she should not be held in contempt for allegedly disobeying a judge's orders concerning ex-husband Alec Baldwin's visitation time with their daughter.

Court papers filed by Baldwin allege that Basinger did not let Baldwin know she would be out of town working so that he could take care of 10-year-old Ireland until the actress returned.
