Stephen Baldwin QUITS "I'm A Celebrity"

NEW YORK — Another celebrity has bailed out of the Costa Rican jungle set of "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!"

Stephen Baldwin says he exited the NBC show over the weekend because he received more than 125 insect bites in eight days.

In a statement, he says the bites were so bad he had an extreme allergic reaction that caused him to lose sleep and 22 pounds.

The actor says he will continue to work on behalf of his chosen charity LOVE 146, which fights child sex slavery and exploitation.

"I'm a Celebrity" ends on Wednesday.

Hw lost 22 pounds. He should have stayed in until he lost 60.

Thanks for giving me a heart attack Huffingtonpost. You could have included a first name in the summary on the front page. For a second I was worried Alec Baldwin had quit "30 Rock".

What Stephen Baldwin does barely qualifies as news.

I am sure that child sex slavery and exploitation is a lot harder to handle than some mosquito bites.
Jesus saves but reality bites...

Bellicose beetles bite Baldwin Brother's buttocks bringing beet red bumps on blimpy bottom.
Beetles claim Baldwin tastes just like chicken.

Lost 22 pounds? Good for him. The weight is certainly not a good look.

I am sure if the bugs left a real cool hipster tattoo, all that pain would have been worth it for lil' Billy Baldwin.

"What's next, Stephen?" I'm thinking a diet book, "How to lose 22 pounds in 8 days."

lol...how Zoolander of him

[Passenger57]

Maybe he's seen the light, and by bowing out of "I'm A Celebrity", he's admitting that he isn't a celebrity anymore.

What's the shorthand for "I"m laughing so hard my stomach hurts"?
