Steve-O Hospitalized, Charged with Felony
This is no prank -- "Jackass" star Steve-O has been hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and has also been charged by the L.A. County District Attorney with felony possession of cocaine.
Regarding the hospitalization, we're told O was admitted to the Thalians Mental Health Center last Sunday -- the same place Owen Wilson was at.
The drug charge stems from his arrest on March 3 for allegedly vandalizing his neighbor's property, whereupon cops found him in possession of coke.

Matthew tells us Tina's blood pressure was a little high and she was checked out by medics -- but she was not transported.

Pat O'Brien Out of Rehab - Into Junk Food
Pat O'Brien is out of rehab, but execs at "The Insider" are mum about his future.
Our spies spotted POB at Gelson's market in Pacific Palisades last Saturday. He looked painfully, painfully thin with sunburned skin -- "bordering on scorched" we're told. He loaded up on at least ten cans of Pringles and a bunch of bags of M&M's. At one point he was at the deli waiting for his number to be called, when a woman recognized him and started the whole "Oh my God," thing. Pat wanted no part of it and just bailed. Guess he didn't find it "so f***in' hot."
We called "The Insider" to find out if POB is coming back. A spokesperson told TMZ, "At this time Pat O'Brien is focused on his recovery and it's inappropriate to comment on rumors about the show."

Dr. Frank Ryan Thinks We're All Idiots
Big time Bev Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Frank Ryan wants us to believe Shauna Sand stopped by his office just for the "ice packs." Riiight -- and those ta-tas are definitely real.
TMZ caught the good doctor outside Mr. Chow last night where he dropped hints about the would-be-stripper ex-wife of Lorenzo Lamas making a visit -- but, sadly for us, did the right thing and protected that pesky patient/doctor privilege.
