I tweeted recently
that we had had our inaugural game of “Who’s your favourite Baldwin”... and that
Daniel was the winner.
I need to elaborate. Smurfy
found this in Wikipedia:
In
1998, Baldwin was found running naked through the halls of New York's Plaza
Hotel shouting "Baldwin!" and was arrested for possession of cocaine.
There’s nothing in
that that sentence that isn’t good, but there is a fair amount that is
baffling.
Yelling your own name…
as though you have just won something. Brilliant. Makes the copper’s jobs a bit
easier, too.
Arrested for
possession of cocaine. While naked. Where was he snorting it from? Brilliant.
Again, from the
same reliable source:
Baldwin starred on the VH1 reality television
show Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew,
filmed in 2007, but left the show after the fourth episode. His stated reasons
for leaving included having a prior commitment to an acting job and the others'
behavior interfering with his recovery, but it is eventually revealed that he
left because of inappropriate text messages he had sent to Mary Carey, fellow patient in the same
treatment group as him
The only thing
that’s not so brilliant about that is we originally read it as Mariah Carey and
fell about laughing for about fifteen minutes. Can’t explain why. It’s not as
funny when it’s not her, but as he seems to be living in a fantasy land so, you know, goose, gander, Baldwin.
