Bam Margera has found a more effective way of dealing with his marital problems than going on a four day bender: Marriage counseling and meds.
The "Jackass" star, who was recently hospitalized with "dehydration" after a drinking binge, says he's been trying to work it out with wife Missy -- and she's forced them into couples counseling twice a week.
Bam also tells us Missy "thinks I have a split personality, like Jekyll and Hyde" and he has been taking the antidepressant Lexapro to control his "mood swings."
We just spoke to Bam Margera who said he was rushed to the hospital Sunday after a four day drinking binge -- not because of a possible drug overdose.
The "Jackass" star blames the "4-day bender" on marital problems, telling us "I may get a divorce ... booze helps."
TMZ also spoke to Bam's mother -- who told us Bam's wife Missy called 911 because she was worried about his health after learning that he popped an Ambien during the drinking bender.
Margera says his kidney and leg muscles were a mess from not eating or drinking enough water -- but the hospital flushed out his system and he was released to his home after speaking to a psychiatrist.
Now, Bam claims he's in good health and he even sent us this photo -- taken after he was released from the hospital -- to prove it.
April Margera just called into WMMR radio in Philadelphia to explain why a 911 call for a "possible overdose" was made for Bam yesterday.
April -- who just got back in town from a vacation -- said Bam had been filming for the MTV show "Nitro Circus" and had become "severely dehydrated." She said when Bam films stunts for shows like "Nitro" -- which is just like "Jackass" -- he forgets to take care of himself and doesn't eat enough.
April also said "basic partying" played a factor and she heard Bam walked to the ambulance on his own power.
As we first reported, Bam was taken to the hospital yesterday at around 1:30 PM.
It turned into a s**t show outside Key Club last night when Bam Margera and his completely obliterated friend let loose on the Sunset Strip, and ended up rolling around half naked on concrete in a random bar parking lot.
It got so bad, we can't even show you the worst of it ... and trust us, you don't want to know.
It's hard to be taken seriously when you've got a tattoo of two animals humping on your leg, but former "Jackass" star Bam Margera tried anyway.
TMZ caught the bad boy skateboarder outside of Koi last night, where he had a cute little dinner date with legend Tony Hawk. Bam tore into lawyers going after his uncle, Don Vito, who is accused of fondling three girls between the ages of 13 and 15, during an appearance at a Colorado mall last year. "These small town lawyers, they want to get their names in the paper .... It's like the Kobe Bryant thing," Bam said. The daredevil added, "But it's done now, so cheers to Vito."
What Bam didn't realize is that Don's drama is far from over. Yesterday, Vito was released on bail yesterday after forking over $50 grand, but he's definitely not in the clear. He'll be back in court on October 22, when the trial is scheduled to resume.
Either Bam Margera got caught under a flight of pigeons ... or he's the messiest painter alive.
We aren't sure why Bam rocked the "I just lost a paintball fight" look, but if you saw "Jackass: Number Two," perhaps you can imagine what crazy stunt he attempted that created this splattered fashion faux-pas. Whatever it was, we hope someone caught it on tape.
WARNING: Steve-O loves to talk about sex and drugs. This story will include a few examples of that fact. There was no way around it.
They say you haven't "made it" in Hollywood until you've slept with a bonafide star. By that standard, Steve-O has yet to "make it." But he is getting closer.
The "Jackass" star recently took over the mic at the The Laugh Factory in Hollywood, where he regaled an audience filled with stars like Jon Lovitz, Bam Margera and other "Jackass" alums with graphic tales of his romantic conquests. He even politely dropped the name of one minor television personality he shared an "in-depth" relationship with.
"I did f*ck one famous b*tch ... Robin from 'The Real World' ... Hey you guys might not think that that's a big deal, but while i was f**king her in the hotel room, the b*tch was on the TV."
But Steve-O didn't just expose his own bedroom secrets, he called out Bam Margera on a highly publicized "alleged" fling with a former "Newlyweds" star. "How long did you f*** Jessica Simpson for?" Steve asked. An embarrassed Margera could only smirk before burying his face in his arm.
Steve-O also offered up a few nuggets of wisdom for the future Hollywood stars in the crowd, advising each to invest in a good doctor and a good lawyer ... Click here and let Steve-O explain why.
Admit it... you just can't get enough of "Jackass." You have every episode of the TV show on DVD and you were first in line to see both "Jackass" flicks. Never fear, there's plenty more where that came from.
An insider at Paramount Studios tells TMZ that they have so much video featuring Chris Pontius, Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam Margera and the whole crew that they will be releasing never before seen scenes straight to DVD on "Jackass 2.5." The studio was also so thrilled with the huge success of "Jackass Number Two" -- which took in $51.5 million in its first two weeks of release -- that they have greenlighted "Jackass Three" and are speeding up production on that release.
Thank god... and you thought you'd have to wait forever to see Steve-O be used for bait.
It was another action-packed night in Hollywood (OK- when is it not?) as Josh Levine and TMZ's cameras hit the streets to bring you what you love best- the stars!
We started the night out at The Ivy where we spotted the beautiful Cindy Crawford. The supermodel, who showed up solo, ran into a just about every camera in Hollywood as she exited the ever-so-trendy restaurant.
From there it was off to the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party we ran into "The OC" star Rachel Bilson, MTV's Nick Cannon, TRL host Stephen Colletti with gal pal Hayden Panettiere, teen sensation Jesse McCartney and "Hustle & Flow" star Taryn Manning.
