Steve-O has been charged with felony cocaine possession following his weird recent vandalism arrest, but there's more. It's also been reported that Steve-O is currently on 14-day hold in a mental hospital after he allegedly sent suicide emails to all of his friends and started putting cigarettes out on his body.  

It seems that Steve-O's condition might be worse than anyone anticipated, which is probably why he should expect a call from the producers of How I Met Your Mother any day now.

Steve-O and Britney Spears don't seem to superficially have a lot in common other than nice short hair and the way that their movies always end in agony – in Steve-O's case it's agony for Steve-O, in Britney Spears' case the audience gets it – but scratch the surface and what do you see?

Well, not a lot really. Steve-O and Britney Spears really don't have much in common at all, but they've both been detained in nuthouses lately and that sort of justifies the comparison. Britney Spears you probably know about – what with every third hecklerspray post being about her – but Steve-O? News to us.

You'll remember that Steve-O was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of drug possession and vandalism, but that's just the start. As far as the drugs thing goes, Steve-O has just just been charged for felony cocaine possession. But as well as all this supposed drug-taking, Steve-O's mental health has taken a fall as well, and he's currently being held in a psychiatric hospital for a fortnight, as eFluxMedia reports:

An insider told Star Magazine that Steve-O was hospitalized Sunday at the Thalians Mental Health Center, specialized in crisis intervention, where he was put on 72-hour-hold, which has been extended to 14 days. “Steve is stabilized on meds at this point,” the source told Star. “He was also treated for burns on his skin as if he had been putting cigarettes out on his own body. A family member told Star that Steve-O suffers from bipolar disorder. During the weekend Steve-O allegedly sent suicide e-mails to friends. 

Concerns over his mental wellbeing? A possibly felony conviction? Things sure have taken a turn for the worse for poor Steve-O. Remember when he was just a fresh-faced youngster who'd vomit up goldfish and splash around in elephant poo and pole-vault into sewage? What could have possibly gone so wrong since then?
