Alec Baldwin's website to focus solely on divorce book

The official website of American actor Alec Baldwin is to be re-launched this summer so that it will concentrate entirely on his proposed book about divorce.

Speaking on US chat show The View, he told co-hosts Barbara Walters and Rosie O'Donnell that he wants to publish a tome on divorced litigation that covers the difficulties faced by divorced fathers.

Baldwin has a daughter with his ex-wife Kim Basinger and he has received some criticism from the press recently after an abusive voicemail he left on 11-year-old Ireland's phone was leaked to the media.

During the message he called Ireland "a rude thoughtless little pig".

Baldwin is currently starring in comedy TV programme 30 Rock but during his appearance on The View he hinted that he may quit the successful show so that he can devote all his time to the book.

In his latest film Suburban Girl the actor plays an estranged father, but he failed to make an appearance at the New York premiere at the Tribeca Festival this week.
