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.

PHEW! I thought Alec was quitting 30Rock...

[Froth]

haha exactly

[jlab]

And why did you think that? Because the geniuses at Huffpo worded the headline so you could. Otherwise, who'd even look at THIS story?

[dawlishgal]

Scared me too.

[dylansfan]

Gee. What a wuss.

[Gainsbourg69]

Nevermind. I though Alec Baldwin was quitting 30 rock.

Do you know what we called 125 mosquito bites in 'Nam?

R & R!!!

Since PETA was all over the President over the swatting of one fly, they should be out in full force with this show over the ground bug drinks. Guess it depends on your real agenda.

The best part of this story? "'I'm a Celebrity' ends on Wednesday.­"

This is a lousy reality show with G-list celebrities. Why is this news?!

[countfloyd]

He didn't produce enough drama for NBC. They want the celebrities to hate each other and that wasn't his thing. I bet he is a very nice if you met him in person and if you said bad things about him to his brothers you would get the beat down of your life.

To your left, Sanjaya.. to your right.. Blago's wife.. the joke is on you fools..

[MMJones]

Thank goodness it's THIS one. (Who is he???) I feared, by the teaser title, it was Alec, and I am a huge 30 Rock fan!
