Appearing today on The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet (the daytime chatfest hosted by Spaghetti Cat), Baldwin showed off the tattoo of Hannah Montana's initials that he had inked in a bid to appear on the Miley Cyrus-toplined show. Sadly, this misguided attempt to book an acting gig produced nothing but some strong guffaws from Cyrus, a round of boos from the confused Mike and Juliet audience, and Baldwin's preliminary placement on the Megan's Law registry.

"The liberal Democrats who didn't get that I was joking need to lighten up," the born-again Christian told Page Six. "Obama is obviously talented and intelligent, and I have great respect for the man. He's got my full support, and I'm gonna be praying for him and his administration."

Oh. Our bad, we guess, but let there be no mistaking his regard for the gays, whom he still loathes enough to submit to a Billy Ray Cyrus ass-tattoo if/when same-sex marriage is legalized nationwide. Not much of a concession considering his recent history, but we'll launch a Facebook club on its behalf just in case. Anything to help the cause!

"I'm not exactly sure," her rep said, who's apparently as mystified as we are by this surprise showing. "I know they're friends of the Baldwins."

And it gets even weirder...

Stephen showed off an "HM" tattoo on his upper bicep that reportedly stands for Hannah Montana, Miley's hit Disney show. The story is that Miley dared him to get the tat, in exchange for a cameo on her show.

While Stephen's manager wouldn't confirm if that's what the tat means, he did say "there's a possibility" he'll be appearing on an upcoming episode.

It's a cute anecdote, made up on the spot just to toy with a Miley-hungry media. Of course, the true story is far less wholesome, involving an incident in which the actor got a little too drunk on hope at the Republican National Convention, and stumbled later into a Minneapolis tattoo parlor insisting that a "Heil McCain" insignia be etched permanently into his skin.

• Miley & Her Man Hit Stephen Baldwin's Book Signing [E Online]

In it, Alec describes how he unwinds after a long week of delivering crackling zingers on one of TV's best-loved comedies: curling up with one of little brother Stephen's flesh-friendly cable classics. These weren't merely the product of a lesser-Baldwin's "soft-core porno career on Skinemax," as Alec dismissively refers to them; rather, they were artistically uncompromising works that just happened to also be erotically charged thrillers. Stephen may have abandoned the genre since having located the Jesus-occupied quadrants of his heart. Luckily, however, films like Zebra Lounge, Spider's Web, and Bound By Lies will live on so long as horny 13-year-old boys with no access to the internet for whatever reason continue to wander into their parents' basement at 3 a.m.

• Emmy Watch: Baldwin on Baldwin [THR]

Consider the evidence: Dude was pretty charming in Threesome, and Bio-Dome isn't that bad either. Sure he's a born-again Christian and kind of a douche-y blowhard, but he's so amusing, that it more than makes up for it. Remember how freakin' awesome he was on Celebrity Apprentice? Every time he said, "Mr. Trump" and pretended he was smart, it sent shivers up my spine.

So really, it's up to you America. Do you want a president who might get us out of Iraq, fix heathcare, and inspire hope and change all over the world? Or, do you want to keep Stephen Baldwin in the USA where he belongs? I, for one, am voting McCain.

• One More Reason For Hollywood To Support Obama

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.

• The Celebrity Apprentice [NBC]

Baldwin broke a shoulder and a rib when a bad ride sent him crashing to the rodeo floor. Baldwin was treated and released from a hospital, and we're told that "he is already back on set in a sling." No bull!

Baldwin isn't the first star to get feel the bull's wrath during production — Leif Garrett was seriously roughed up just a day earlier. Shockingly, Vanilla Ice has remained unharmed!

That the actor would return the very next day to face down his bucking nemesis should surprise no one: The junior Baldwin has taken tougher knocks before from a far more threatening horned tormentor. If this resilient and fearless Xtreme Soldier of God could emerge victorious from the Salvation Rodeo, any beast Ty Murray could throw at him will be a comparative cakewalk.
