Baldwin was the first person to enter the ''[[Celebrity Big Brother (British TV series) series 7|Celebrity Big Brother]]'' house on January 3, 2010. The theme for this series was "Hell", with a devil head on the front door. He frequently taunted the head by saying "you're a loser". During his stay in the house, he frequently read passages from the Bible to his fellow housemates.<ref>{{cite news |url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8438720.stm |title = Celebrity Big Brother 2010 contestants unveiled |work = BBC News |date = January 3, 2010 |access-date = January 3, 2010}}</ref> He failed to win many fans and was evicted on January 22, 2010, becoming the fourth housemate to be evicted. In a three-way vote—against [[Ivana Trump]] and [[Sisqó]]—he received 50% of the public vote.<ref>{{cite news |author = Jody Thompson |url = https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/celebrity-big-brother-stephen-baldwin-196051 |title = Celebrity Big Brother: Stephen Baldwin now favourite to be evicted on Friday |newspaper = Daily Mirror |date = January 20, 2010 |access-date = January 29, 2010}}</ref> After his eviction, the website restorestephenbaldwin.org, unsolicited by him, began soliciting cash donations to improve Baldwin's career.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272631555.shtml |title = Stephen Baldwin & Bailout Help – Website Set up to Raise Money |work = National Ledger |date = April 30, 2010 |author = Gavin Wilson |access-date = May 5, 2010 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100503075058/http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272631555.shtml |archive-date = May 3, 2010 |df = mdy-all}}</ref>

In December 2010, Baldwin filed a $3.8 million lawsuit against [[Kevin Costner]] over oil-separating technology that was used to help solve the [[Deepwater Horizon oil spill|BP oil spill]] in the Gulf of Mexico.<ref>{{cite magazine |first = Kate |last = Ward |url = https://ew.com/article/2010/12/23/stephen-baldwin-kevin-costner-lawsuit-bp/ |title = Stephen Baldwin spills lawsuit on Kevin Costner |magazine = [[Entertainment Weekly]] |date = December 23, 2010 |access-date = January 22, 2018}}</ref> In June 2012, a jury sided with Costner and awarded Baldwin no damages.
