MARGERA PREDICTED STEVE-O WOULD DIE IN A MONTH

Prankster STEVE-O's JACKASS co-star BAM MARGERA gave his pal a month to live earlier this year (08) - 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 (08) 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 (08), 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."
