We’re fascinated by the huge chasms within the Baldwin family. You’ve got your super-liberal Alec, your super-rehabbed Daniel, your Chynna Phillips-lovin’ Billy and of course, your Born Again Christian, Stephen. They’ve all, at one point or another been controversial for things they’ve said, but recently, Stephen’s career has sailed into a perfect storm of bankruptcy, Jesus-freakiness, and unemployment, that has culminated in the best website we’ve seen in a long time, The Restoration Of Stephen Baldwin.
Run by “someone Stephen nor his staff have ever met”, the site’s sole mission is to raise money for Baldwin, whose career and personal income have hit a low point, no thanks to his Christianity. So sayeth the Q & A on the site “When he became an outspoken Christian in 2002 his income went down by 70% when he refused roles with gratuitous sex and violence.” We sayeth, you should have asked for a higher salary on Bio-Dome, dude, and put that money in the bank. We’re not knocking his beliefs, we’re just skeptical that they’re being blamed for his downfall – look at Mel Gibson, who hasn’t compromised his Christianity. He made the hugely successful Passion Of The Christ and has all the birth-uncontrolled sex he wants in the name of the Lord.
However, if you’re a huge Baldwin fan and feel bad for his financial situation, the site welcomes any and all donations. Just remember, this is the guy who baptized Spencer Pratt on I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. If he’s the second coming and Spencer is one of his disciples, we plan to sit this one out.
