Steve-O on suicide watch

Jackass wildman Steve-O has been hospitalised and is being held on suicide watch, it was reported today.

The London-born TV prankster is at the same Beverly Hills mental health centre where actor Owen Wilson was taken following his suicide attempt last year.

Sources say he was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Sunday after threatening to kill himself.

The reports emerged just days after a video showing Steve-O pointing a gun at his head was posted on the internet.

An insider told Star magazine Steve-O was taken to the hospital’s emergency room on Sunday and tested for drugs. He was then put on a 72-hour hold at the Thalians Mental Health Center.

The source said: “Steve is stabilized on meds at this point.

“He was also treated for burns on his skin as if he had been putting cigarettes out on his own body.”

Livewire Steve-O is said to suffer from bipolar disorder. He spent a night in police cells last week after being arrested for allegedly punching holes in a wall at his Hollywood apartment building.

A family friend told Star: “Right now he’s in extreme mania.

“His concerned friends and family are hoping he’ll seek treatment.

“He doesn’t need jail, he needs therapy.

“We’re just really hoping that this will be the wake-up call that gets him back to himself.”

Steve-O is said to have emailed suicide notes to several friends last weekend, blaming a broken romance for his torment.

A video posted on YouTube also showed him playing Russian roulette with a revolver while smashing up his apartment in a rage after being evicted.

A manic Steve-O is seen asking the cameraman: “”Do you like my revolver?

“Do you like it pointing at you?”

It is not clear if the revolver is real or a replica, but Steve-O says: “It doesn’t work.”

A spokesman for Steve-O was not immediately available for comment.

Punk'd?

Hope he gets the help he needs.

True Hollywood Story: Steve O

Me too.

I'd kill myself if I was Stevo-O too.

I LOLd.

Why not just film it for the next Jackass movie?

Wow, imagine that someone who goes swimming with sharks with sharkfood in his trunks would be suicidal, i'll be damn.
I caught some of Jackass 2, the other night and i wondered if any of these guys died would we actually be able to call them morons after the fact without being in bad taste.

i always figured he would be the first to die. i pictured it happening in one of his stunts or he would piss of the wrong person though. i like jackass ok but i always find his segments disturbing. he seems so messed up in the head. sure the other guys are crazy too but steve o is on a different level.

Waiting for someone to come in here and say how bad some of you guys are for the posts, but it won't be me. I can't stand the guy. I don't wish him death, but if I never heard of him again, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

I imagine there are a lot of MTV fanatics that would hate to see him treated and lead a normal life.

He must have just listended to his new rap CD

I must say he has provided me and friends with many laughs through his antics and DVDs. Get well.

I always found him to be the least funny part of the Jackass crew.

I love Wildboyz.

Same here. Going apeshit like that is never a good thing, though.

He was REALLY messed up on Howard Stern the other week. I mean, REALLY messed up. They were talking about it for days.

I'm not surprised.
