Excerpt from that article: The actor Stephen Baldwin, a born-again Christian, has just directed a DVD called "Livin' It," pairing extreme sports with faith testimony, from which he hopes to spin skate Bibles, clothing, CD's and Bible-study guides, all tied to a nonprofit youth ministry.

<p>STEPHEN Baldwin struck out with a waitress in Montreal the other night. He wanted her more than anything on the menu at the Java U restaurant - where, unfortunately for him, her boyfriend was working, too. "That [bleep]hole was really coming on to her," the boyfriend told The Post's Linda Massarella. "He was saying, 'I can get you into the movies,' and asked for her number. She wasn't interested, she's not an actress." When Baldwin's bodyguard stood up, grabbed the waitress' arm and screamed, "Honey, dump that loser and come with us," the boyfriend intervened. Heated words were exchanged, and Baldwin exited with only his muscle for company.</p>
