Cable news producers are in a bit of a predicament when it comes to Charlie Sheen. Yes, there are ethical questions raised by enabling the embattled actor’s megalomania with continual coverage, but America’s appetite for “Sheen Mania” still seems insatiable. So what’s a producer to do? At America Live the answer is booking Stephen Baldwin; another embattled actor — though one of a completely different stripe — who ends up giving as insightful a take as anyone else has thus far.

There have been a lot of big wars of words going on in the past few weeks, but perhaps the biggest one was the battle between Stephen Baldwin and Sean Hannity! Ok…maybe it wasn’t the biggest, but at least this one appears like it will actually come to a better ending than most as Baldwin has offered a public apology to the Fox News host via AOL’s PopEater.

Stephen Baldwin is no Alec Baldwin. But he’s cool with that, because he’s got even bigger aspirations: to become “the George Soros for Jesus.” How will he achieve this? As he told nymag.com’s Daily Intel, “I’m 44 years old, my plan is to be a billionaire by 50, which these days, that’s very doable.”

Calling someone a “charity case” is normally a metaphor for someone down on their luck. In the case of actor Stephen Baldwin the label has never been so apt. The Restoration of Stephen Baldwin is a newly formed website for fans to donate money in support of the actor since his recent bankruptcy filing. The cause for his money problems? His proud convictions as a born again believer in Jesus Christ, which has caused ridicule and financial ruin

Actor, author and political activist Stephen Baldwin was part of a panel on Larry King Live last night, discussing health care reform and the Obama administration. When host Larry King came to Baldwin, he proclaimed “it’s official today, Barack Obama is the greatest gangster to ever come out of Chicago,” then followed with “Mr. Obama’s a liar.” The contentious video, after the jump.

Oops. Stephen Baldwin gets a lot of unfair treatment as the Baldwin’s punchline brother. Recently, Baldwin has broadened his career to include being a Christian radio host and conservative activist in addition to his acting career, so it should surprise no one that he was in attendance at CPAC yesterday. During a brief interview with ABC News, Baldwin shared his thoughts on the current White House administration, and depending on your perspective, may have made a poor choice of words in describing Barack Obama as “homey.”

Semi-stars…they’re just like us! Rick Sanchez teases a segment today featuring his interview with Stephen Baldwin about some financial woes. The chyron was kind of brutal.
