JACKASS star STEVE-O has been transferred from a rehabilitation centre into a psychiatric hospital.

The troubled stuntman – real name Stephen Glover – had enrolled in a narcotics programme to treat his drug addictions, but after allegedly getting clean, he has been moved to the secure mental ward at Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Hospital.

In an entry posted on his official website on Thursday (03Jul08), he writes: “I’m back in the loony bin trying to get my s**t right.

“I’ve now been clean for 115 days and I’m back in a mental institution.”

He adds: “I did so much cocaine, Ketamine, PCP, nitrous oxide and all sorts of other drugs that, quite simply, my brain is f**ked up.”

Glover was ordered to enter the rehab facility after being charged with cocaine possession following his 3 March (08) arrest on suspicion of vandalising his neighbours’ L.A. property.

Earlier this week (beg30Jun08), it was announced the star is set for further legal troubles, after a security guard filed charges against him in relation to an alleged assault at the launch of Paris Hilton’s clothing line in August 2007.
