"He is making jokes like, 'I officially made it to the loony bin!'" Margera tells <b>Us</b>

Body

Before Steve-O was hospitalized earlier this month, his Jackass co-star Bam Margera had begun a countdown: When will he die?

"I was like, 'I give him a month, and he'll be dead, guaranteed,'" Margera told Usmagazine.com at Element Eden Presents "Live Learn Grow" in L.A. on Thursday. "He was out of his mind.

"He was doing every G-----n drug you can possibly do as soon as he'd wake up," he added. (The National Enquirer published new photos of Steve-O snorting what appears to be cocaine off a woman's leg.)

Margera said Steve-O's avid drug use "was funny at first," but then "it just got to a point where it was sad."

He said Johnny Knoxville "had to sit him down" and force him to seek help.

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

"He's actually in high spirits from what I hear," Margera told Us. "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," Margera said. "He was really bonkers."

Joe Simpson Defends Jessica Against Jackass

After 18 months of did-they-or-didn't they debate, Jackass Number Two star Bam Margera confirmed once and for all that he and Jessica Simpson did.

On Howard Stern's September 19 Sirius radio show, the wild prankster, 27, confessed to Stern that on the night of April 11, 2005, then-married Simpson took him back to her parents’ home in Los Angeles’ Encino area: “We were just drinking margaritas and stuff, and you know, from there…” When Stern asked how Simpson looked naked, Margera told him, “She looked good.”

“Once,” he said, when asked by an Us reporter how many times he and Simpson had been intimate. “It was when her parents were away and Nick was away. It’s not a secret."

How is Simpson’s camp taking the news? “As a father, I want to go beat the crap out of people who say things like this,” Jessica’s dad/manager, Joe, tells Us. “It really hurts to hear people say things like this about my daughter.”

Still, some of Margera’s raunchiness may have rubbed off on the 26-year-old single star. During a recent interview in Allure magazine, the former virgin bride wore a rooster pendant and joked, “I don’t have a c--k at the moment, so I wear one around my neck.”

What would have drawn the glam singer – married to Nick Lachey, 32, at the time – to the grungy pro skateboarder? Did the pair hook up more than once? What does Jessica’s sister, Ashlee, have to say about Bam’s comments? For more details on this story, including how things are now between Jess and Bam, pick up the current issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now.

Jessica and Nicole Regret Ever Hanging Out with These Jackasses

Jackass 2 stars, Bam Margera and Steve-O made numerous confessions on the Howard Stern Show yesterday, including more scoop on Bam and **Jessica Simspon**'s rumored hookup and Steve-O's short-lived romance with **Nicole Richie**.

Bam wouldn't confirm that he did the nasty with Jessica, but did say that they "wound up at her parents house drinking margaritas, and it went from there." He went on to say that "yeah, she looked good I can't deny that," and that he "left at 8 in the morning."

Meanwhile, Steve-O insists that his relationship with Nicole Richie was just a publicity stunt, and that she was the one who planned it because she wanted, "some media coverage that wasn't about her being f---ing skinny."

Obviously we're really torn over who's telling the truth here. Is it Jessica and Nicole, or two guys that enjoy alligator nipple clamps and sticking toy cars up other people's butts?

Oh, yeah, whatever. I dunno, tell them I ate five small meals today and did 45 on the elliptical or something. Just donâ€™t make me look stupid."
