Scams... and Steve-O?
I was logging into myspace.com when I saw an ad, an obvious scam (see I am getting better at detecting them). It was a contest to "party" with Steve-O, of the show Jackass. Not to bust their bubble of luring people into their "sweepstakes", but Steve-O is currently in rehab (I know, real shocker). Seems recently Johnny Knoxville, and other concerned friends of the wildboy forcibly removed him from his home and took him to a hospital where he was placed under a 5150 hold (also what Brittney Spears went under). Basically he was held in a mental ward, or "loony bin" as Steve-O refers to on his website, steveo.com, and the hold means they thought he could be a danger to himself. He is currently on the long and hard road of rehab, and blogs about his experience on his website. Unfortunately no one has let the nice people of partywithastar.com know this. Hopefully, myspace will at least wise up on this fact and pull the ad. And, as jaded as I get, and surprised I am not, I still hope this guy gets better. It seems like he was in pretty deep and will have a very, very difficult time becoming well, but my best wishes to him.

The great humanitarian strikes again! I hope he gets well too. But I also hope Britany crashes and burns! Just kidding. I want everyone to be happy and healthy. Man, I'm a good person. I love me. Wow, did I just turn a comment about your blog into self love? I'm even better than I thought.
Did you hear that he skipped out on his court appearence this week?
Someone needs to call Dr. Drew.
