People of the Year — 24. Stephen Baldwin

After a busy 2006â€â€during which Baldwin led a public crusade to stop a porn store from opening in Nyack; wrote his own born-again memoir, The Unusual Suspect; and starred in a slew of low-budget filmsâ€â€the Upper Grandview resident spent much of 2007 focusing on his spiritual side. As self-appointed leader of the evangelical, extreme-sports-based Breakthrough Ministry, St. Stephen preached the Good Book out of the back of his van and was even appointed as a “cultural advisorâ€? to President Bush. Alas, his acting career wasn’t as enlightened. While brothers Alec and Billy had hits with 30 Rock and Dirty, Sexy, Money, the best Stephen could do was Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge. It was painful to watch, and we’re not just talking about Baldwin’s broken rib and shoulder.
Prediction for 2008: Let’s hope that was his last celebrity-themed reality-TV travesty. Why not try teaming up with fellow man of faith Mel Gibson?
Ed. Note: Yes, another Baldwin. And Yes, it has finally happened: Stephen has outranked one of his brothers on a list. Granted, the two were separated in our magazine versions of “People of the Year” (Billy appeared in InTown, Stephen in Rockland). But for the purposes of this celebrity-only list on Suburbarazzi, Stephen still comes out on top in our estimation.
