“Jackass” star and friend of the earth worm Steve-O is on suicide watch at Cedars-Sinai today after threatening to kill himself over the weekend. More shocking: that a man who makes a habit of stapling his ballsack to his legs and piercing his ass cheeks closed hasn’t tried to kill himself before. Star Magazine reports

The situation escalated over the weekend when Steve-O, 33, e-mailed suicide notes to several friends, blaming a broken romance. “Steve started flipping out. He told doctors he wanted to hurt himself badly. He wanted to break every bone in his body one by one.”

A close family member told Star that Steve-O suffers from untreated bipolar disorder.

And how would saying he “wanted to hurt himself” and “break every bone in his body one by one” be cause for concern, exactly? It’s my understanding that self-harming is Steve-O’s bread and butter. Meaning you snort some butter and light some bread on fire, then shove it flaming into your asshole while taking a downhill ride in a port-a-potty and collect your paycheck. You know, your “bread and butter.” Geez. It’s called “American colloquialism,” people! You should look it up sometime.
