Jackass star Steve-o has been transferred from a rehabilitation centre into a psychiatric hospital.

The troubled stuntman - real name Stephen Glover - had enrolled in a narcotics programme to treat his drug addictions, but after allegedly getting clean, he has been moved to the secure mental ward at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Hospital.

In an entry posted on his official website on Thursday, he writes: "I'm back in the loony bin trying to get my s**t right.

"I've now been clean for 115 days and I'm back in a mental institution."

He adds: "I did so much cocaine, Ketamine, Pcp, nitrous oxide and all sorts of other drugs that, quite simply, my brain is f**ked up."

Glover was ordered to enter the rehab facility after being charged with cocaine possession following his 3 March arrest on suspicion of vandalising his neighbours' L.A. property.

Earlier this week (beg30Jun08), it was announced the star is set for further legal troubles, after a security guard filed charges against him in relation to an alleged assault at the launch of Paris Hilton's clothing line in August 2007.

Jackass star Steve-O is facing more legal troubles - a security guard is suing him over an alleged assault at the launch of Paris Hilton's clothing line.

Doorman Roland Cano was hired to work at the Kitson store in Los Angeles in August 2007 to provide extra security while Hilton unveiled her fashion range.

Cano has accused Steve-O - real name Stephen Glover - of attacking him when he was denied access to the event.

Glover was reportedly filming reality show Dr. Steve-O at the time and Cano has also named TV network NBC and the star's bodyguard in the suit, which was filed at L.A. County Superior Court on Tuesday.

Cano alleges in the papers that Glover "without provocation, violently punched (his) head repeatedly" and is suing the stuntman for unspecified damages, according to TMZ.com.

Glover will soon be forced to enter rehab after entering a guilty plea to felony drug charges relating to an incident in March in which he allegedly vandalised a neighbour's property.

This Week In Terrifying Hybrids 1. Jackass + Competitive Eating - Bam Margera + G4's beautiful vision of a vomit spirograph = g4's Hurl! Hurl! Does that exclamation point indicate a command (as in "Hurl, Dude!") or just general excitement about the prospect of televised regurgitation (as in, "Woo! That guy's totally gonna hurl!")? It's probably a little of both. When I first found out about g4's puke parade game show, Hurl!, I thought it was a competitive vomiting show, as in "Tonight, these three contestants will eat 48 mushroom and swiss cheese Hot Pockets. But how many of the delicious savory pockets will they throw up? Grab a bucket: It's the Hot Pocket Hot Vomit Challenge on Hurl!." But, as it turns...

Jackass star Steve-o is heading to rehab after reaching a deal with prosecutors and pleading guilty to felony drug charges.

The troubled 33-year-old - real name Stephen Glover - had previously pleaded not guilty to counts of cocaine possession following his 3 March arrest on suspicion of vandalising his neighbours' property in Los Angeles.

But the professional stuntman decided to confess to the crime on Tuesday in a bid to rid him of his legal woes.

His lawyer Barry Sands tells website TMZ.com that if the star enrolls in a narcotics programme within the next 48 hours and remains "on good behaviour", the case will be dropped altogether.

Steve-o received treatment at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center just days after the March incident, when he allegedly attempted suicide.

Jackass star Steve-o pleaded guilty Tuesday to cocaine possession, but avoided a jail sentence as long as he completes a drug rehab program. The MTV prankster, whose real name is Stephen Glover, 33, was arrested in March on suspicion of vandalism and drug possession at his Hollywood apartment. He even filmed himself smashing the wall of an adjacent apartment. The reality star then subsequently posted bail and checked into a hospital for psychiatric treatment. He has since blogged frequently from what he calls the "loony bin."His attorney, Barry Gerald Sands, says the case will be "completely dismissed" once Glover completes the program,

U.S. broadcaster Barbara Walters has been heavily criticised for confessing to a passionate affair with a married senator during the 1970s.

In her upcoming memoirs, Auditions, Walters admits to an affair with former Massachusetts Senator Edward Brooke following the breakdown of her two previous marriages.

But Walters has come under fire by staff at conservative media watchdog group The Resistance, who claims she is a "shameless media whore".

Spokesman Marc Dice says, "Barbara has now sunk to the very level of other attention-starved celebrities such as Paris Hilton or even Steve-o from Jackass."

However, the 78-year-old's representative, Cindi Berger, has hit back, telling New York gossip column PageSix, "This conservative watchdog seems to have lived a sheltered life in his doghouse."

In her book, Walters claims Brooke - the first black member of the U.S. Senate since Reconstruction - was so in love with her, he told his wife he wanted a divorce.

But when his wife tried to reveal the affair to the National Enquirer, the couple ended the relationship.

Latest: An American newspaper has apologised after falsely claiming Jackass star Bam Margera was the star of a secret sex tape.

The New York Post claimed Margera was captured on film performing sex acts on Lindsay Hughes - the fiancee of New York radio host Gregg 'Opie' Hughes.

But the report has now been proved to be false.

In a retraction, the newspaper says, "We reported that Hughes was taking legal action against a disgruntled ex-employee of the radio duo who had acquired the rights to the video.

"We have since learned that this information, supplied by (U.S. magazine) Steppin' Out's Chaunce Hayden, was entirely incorrect. There is no sex tape. Further, Hughes' fiancee (Lindsay Hughes) has never met the MTV star (Bam Margera)."

Jackass prankster Steve-o has vowed to kick his drug and drink abuse for good - but will never tame his wild behaviour.

The reality TV star - real name Stephen Glover - is battling his drug and booze demons after checking himself into Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he received treatment following a reported suicide attempt last month. The hospital stay came only days after the troubled star was charged with possession of cocaine in Los Angeles.

Fellow Jackass star Johnny Knoxville forced the 33-year-old to seek treatment, after the self-destructive star began sending erratic emails to friends insisting he was "ready to die".

And although Glover is willing to give up his intoxicated lifestyle, he has no intention of quitting the hellraising stunts which made him a star on the hit show.

He says, "Everybody thinks I'm in the loony bin, but I'm actually in rehab. Everyone thinks Steve-o's going to be all tame... It's just the drugs and alcohol I want to be off."

Prankster Steve-o's Jackass co-star Bam Margera gave his pal a month to live earlier this year - because his drug use had spiraled out of control.

Margera admits Steve-o - real name Stephen Glover - turned to narcotics as soon as he woke up, and would be topping up his highs all day.

He tells Usmagazine.com, "I was like, 'I give him a month, and he'll be dead, guaranteed.'"

The troubled 33-year-old was charged with possession of cocaine earlier this month and just days after the incident, Steve-o checked himself into Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he received treatment following a reported suicide attempt.

Margera insists it was fellow Jackass co-star Johnny Knoxville who forced Steve-o to face his demons and seek help.

Although he was convinced Steve-o was heading for an early grave, Margera hopes his friend's spell in rehab, which began on 16 March, will save him.

Margera adds, "He's actually in high spirits from what I hear. He's happy in there and is making jokes about himself like, 'I officially made it to the loony bin!' He's a character.

"He's doing really good, which everybody is real glad about. He was really bonkers."

Troubled stuntman Steve-o's fiancee Britney has called off their wedding after media reports claimed he had snorted drugs and tried to pick up women at a party, just days before he checked into hospital.

An American tabloid printed pictures on Wednesday of the star appearing to snort a white powder from a woman's leg, images it claims were taken at a 9 March bash.

A partygoer told the magazine Steve-o - real name Stephen Glover - "was so wasted. He was hitting on random girls and asking to snort off their breasts."

But the Jackass star has hit back, blaming the media "lies" for the breakdown of his relationship.

Writing in his blog from Los Angeles Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he is currently being treated for mental health problems following an alleged suicide attempt, he says, "The stories that are circulating right now about me being at some party hitting on random girls and asking to snort drugs from their breasts are not true at all. I will be the first to admit that I've snorted all kinds of drugs, in all sorts of situations, but I take offence to claims that I was running around hitting on random women at a time when I was under the impression that I was engaged to be married.

"I'm a tough guy, with very thick skin, but that doesn't mean I take kindly to being lied about, especially when it comes to behaviour that took place after I asked someone to marry me and before I was informed, by the girl I asked to marry me, that she had completely changed her mind about getting married."

Jackass star Steve-o's arraignment on felony drug charges has been postponed until next month after the stuntman skipped his Los Angeles court date on Wednesday.

The troubled 33-year-old - real name Stephen Glover - was charged with possession of cocaine after his 3 March arrest on suspicion of vandalising his neighbours' property in L.A.

Just days after the incident, Steve-o checked himself into L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he is currently receiving treatment following a reported suicide attempt.

While Steve-o was not present for the Los Angeles Superior Court hearing on Wednesday, he was represented by his lawyer Barry Sands.

And Judge James Banco took pity on the star's current health status and set a new arraignment date for 23 April.

However, Steve-o's absence meant he had to forfeit his $10,000 (GBP5,000) bail.

Attorney Sands says, "(He's) doing great. He's been in the hospital for two weeks. He voluntarily checked himself in. But he will be at the next court hearing."

Troubled TV star Steve-o was snapped snorting white powder from a woman's leg, just days before he checked into hospital.

The Jackass star can be seen inhaling what appears to be cocaine during a party on 9 March, in photographs printed in American tabloid National Enquirer.

A party-goer tells the publication, "He was so wasted. He was hitting on random girls and asking to snort off their breasts.

"He was such a mess he didn't know what he was doing. Some girls felt so sorry for him they went out of their way to wipe the coke off his nose."

Steve-o - real name Stephen Glover - is currently on a 14-day hold at Los Angeles Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after friends and family members forced him to seek help for depression.

The 33-year-old has since revealed he suffers from bipolar disorder and blames years of drug abuse for his mental state.

Troubled Jackass star Steve-o has credited his time in rehab with allowing him to accept his "imperfections and all".

The stuntman is currently being held at Los Angeles Ceders-Sinai Medical Center, where he has been placed on a 14-day hold, while medics observe his condition and behaviour.

But the star admits he has found a new lease on life at the centre.

In his latest blog from what he calls the "nut house", he writes: "There is more to me than the act of scrotum-stapling.

"I had never seen the tolls that my years have taken on my flesh so vividly. Pretty wild to wait until you're hidden away in the 'nut house' to become self-conscious about the way you look.

"I am, indeed, very proud to be exactly how I am, imperfections and all. As a matter of fact, I look forward to the deterioration of my appearance over future years, with hopes of giggling, in old age, at the thought of how truly ugly I will have become."

Troubled Jackass star Steve-o has accused his parents of feeding him alcohol as a baby.

The stuntman claims his late mother, who was an alcoholic, and his father used to give him booze, so he wouldn't cry on public transport.

In his latest blog from a Los Angeles hospital, where he has been placed on a 14-day hold while medics observe his condition and behaviour, Steve-o writes: "Before Mom and Dad would find themselves in the embarrassing position of being caught by other passengers with a crying baby, I was fed alcohol....

"I know I was always powerless over alcoholism, because it had such a grip on Mom's adulthood and my childhood, and I never chose to fight it."

The 33-year-old was hospitalised on 9 March, after pals including his former Jackass co-star Johnny Knoxville "physically forced" him to seek help for his mental issues, including bipolar disorder that had left him suffering "high highs and extremely low lows".
