After pleading guilty to cocaine possession Tuesday, the <i>Jackass star</i> is sentenced to two years in rehab

Body

Steve-O pleaded guilty to felony cocaine possession on Tuesday in a Los Angeles courthouse.

He was ordered to attend rehab for two years.

The plea is part of a deal that will keep the Jackass star, 33, out of jail.

"Steve is doing great - he has been sober for 85 days," his lawyer, Barry Gerald Sands, tells Usmagazine.com. "His probation is set for 18 months, but it may be shorter depending on his good behavior and continuation with the program he is in."

Sands added that Steve-O "is currently living in a sober house and has straightened up.”

Steve-O was arrested in March after feuding with a neighbor over a fence. Cops found drugs on him and booked him. He initially pleaded not guilty.

After the arrest, he checked into a UCLA center for psychiatric treatment.

In a blog post, Steve-O said his pal Johnny Knoxville "came to my home" and physically "forced me into the hospital."

Steve-O: I Could Have Reached Higher Than Jackass Pranks

The recovering addict pleads not guilty to a drug charge

Body

Former Jackass star Steve-O has a mixed reaction when reflecting on his career as a prankster.

"I'm proud of what I've done in the past to distract people from the fact that the world can be a bad place," he told TMZ.com.

On the other hand, he added, "I think I could have reached for better sorts of things to be looked up for than to be an alcoholic drug addict that hurts himself for a living."

On March 13, Steve-O was involuntarily hospitalized in the psych ward of L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, around the time he was charged with felony possession of cocaine. The 33-year-old checked into rehab on March 16.

"I was a mess," he told TMZ outside of a L.A. court appearance today where he plead not guilty for the drug charge. "I didn't have my act together."

Steve-O claims he doesn't remember the night of his arrest. "I'm not even trying to spin it," he said. "I really genuinely don't remember. I was in such bad shape."

After a stint in rehab – during which he revealed he was fed alcohol as an infant and blogged about his use of marijuana, LSD, amphetamines and nitrous oxide – the former MTV star insists he's on the mend.

"What I know from being clean for 44 days is if I go back to using alcohol and drugs, I'm going to go right back to being that bad," he said. "There is nowhere in between."

Steve-O is required to attend a preliminary hearing on May 13.

Custody arrangements for his daughter need to be worked out

Body

Johnny Knoxville is officially a single man.

The Jackass star, 37, has finalized his divorce from wife, Melanie Lynn Clapp, according to legal papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Though he must cover his family’s health and medical expenses, several issues — including spousal and child support, as well custody of their 11-year-old daughter, Madison — still need to be worked out, TMZ.com reports.

Knoxville and Lynn married in May 1995 but separated in July 2006.

In July 2007, Knoxville — who dismissed rumors that he had a fling with Jessica Simpson while shooting 2005’s The Dukes of Hazzard — filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

The reality TV actor was arrested on drug charges

Body

Steve-O is cooling his heels in jail.

The Jackass actor was arrested on drug charges, an LAPD spokesperson confirms to Usmagazine.com.

Officers were first called the scene at 5 a.m. this morning after hearing Steve-O was vandalizing the walls of his apartment.

“It appears there were holes in the common wall adjacent to a neighbor,” the spokesperson tells Us.

Drugs were found on the MTV star after police arrived at the scene.

TMZ.com, which first reported the arrest, says Steve-O was held in a citizen’s arrest. The LAPD spokesperson can’t confirm.

The LAPD spokesperson says Steve-O (real name: Stephen Glover) is still at LAPD’s Hollywood station and that bail has not yet been set.

In May 2003, the daredevil actor was jailed for five days in Sweden after joking about smuggling drugs in the country. Two months later, Steve-O was charged with disorderly conduct at a Lollapalooza concert in Pennsylvania.

Steve-O, How Low Can You Go?

First he blabs about **Nicole Richie** on the Howard Stern Show, then he proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's fully hydrated. Sure, "Jackass" star, Steve-O has been known to do some pretty nasty stunts, but at last night's premiere of "Jackass: Number 2," he proved to be a real pisser -- literally.

In true idiot fashion, the former MTV "Wild Boyz" star dropped his drawers and proceeded to pee all over the red carpet, thus ensuring himself a future endorsement deal with Depends undergarments. Live the dream Steve-O, live the dream.
