Alec Baldwin Knows Not Of Pedestrian Things Like Inkjet Cartridges
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 9:07 AM on January 19, 2008
On last night's episode of NBC's newest pulse-pounding series, Sorta-Celebrity Apprentice, Team Hydra and The Other Team found themselves suddenly plunged into the high stakes world of inkjet cartridge sales. Ask anyone who works at Staples, that shit is NO! JOKE! For real. Anyway, as we've learned through the course of the first three episodes, the real competition on this show has nothing to do with who wins a given challenge, it's all about which Not-Really-That-Famous-Anymore Celebrity has the most number of famous digits in their cellphone and is not afraid to use 'em. And last night, Stephen Baldwin raised the ante somethin' fierce by putting in a call to the most famous person that he knows. And no, it wasn't Billy Baldwin.
On last night's episode of NBC's newest pulse-pounding series,
It was Daniel Baldwin! No, just kidding, it was big brother Alec, who is quickly becoming to NBC what Richard Dawson was to ABC in the `70s -- a consummate team player who'll show up on any set so long as the craft service table is kickin'. When Alec (who, btw, was Bryll Creamed to the MAX) arrived, he acted like all big brothers do and used the opportunity to get off a few potshots at younger brother Stephen (example, "There's no one more full of crap than Stephen"). But he also proved to be a good sport, too, buying a dozen printer cartridges at $1,000 per pop even though he has no idea how they work or what exactly they do. Which is truly amazing, when you think about it. Does the man not own a home computer and/or printer? Or is he just rich enough to employ his own indentured Geek Squad on the premises? File that one under questions to ask if MTV ever reignites their Cribs franchise.

You know what it takes to sell inkjet cartridges?
It takes brass balls to sell inkjet cartridges.

Stephen and Alex seem to use the same hairstylist - the technician at Jiffy Lube

Stephen Baldwin "Actor/Author"?

The combination of the whip-pan and my previous lack of knowledge that Lennox Lewis was a part of "Celebrity Apprentice" had me briefly afraid that Alec was about to get himself knocked the fuck out in that van.

Help! I can't keep track of which Baldwin is which anymore-- they all look like the same puffy, gel-ed, middle-aged guy to me now!

I can't believe it! At a $1000 each, that's almost twice what they retail for!

@hack-a-rific: Okay, quick rundown for the Baldwin confused: Daniel--the one that just doesn't quite get that you can't blaze up the crackpipe outside of the privacy of your motel room. No, really--you can't. Not in the picup, either. Alec--the phonecall psycho who has a job. Billy--disappeared after joining the Wilson-Phillips fanclub. Stephen--the hairless-chested blond one that went from Paulie Shore to Barney Rubble to Jesus freak.
Kinda makes you wonder why Kim Basinger didn't just grab Ireland and join the witness protection program, eh?

After watching him on "Celebrity Apprentice," all I have to say is that whoever does make-up or costuming for Al on "30 Rock" deserves an Emmy. Dude looked ROUGH, and I've had a crush on him since forever. Even junkie brother Daniel looks better now!

Alec is at home right now trying to crack open the black ink cartridges to take some of the gray out of his hair.

lol. I found it funny at how Alec was like 'yeah, really', 'that's amazing', etc. Lots of enthusiasm there.

Had to laugh at Piers Morgan's comments, like he's somebody, he's nothing but a broke down version of Simon Cowell. Simon Cowell's the nadir on his own...

@NOGRUMPYS: Perhaps they are doing their part to save the environment by using motor oil as hair product. Too bad the Jiffy Lube guy didn't remeind them recycle, reuse, and RINSE!
