Jackass star Steve-O is being held at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after threatening to take his own life, Star has learned exclusively!

According to an insider, he was taken to the emergency room on Sunday afternoon. After drug tests, he was checked into the Thalians Mental Health Center — known for doing crisis intervention — where he was put on a 72-hour hold. That has since been extended to 14 days, Star has learned.

“Steve is stabilized on meds at this point,” the source told Star. “He was also treated for burns on his skin as if he had been putting cigarettes out on his own body.”

Friends and family have become increasingly concerned about the star’s mental state, especially following his March 3 arrest following a dispute with a neighbor. Days after, a close family member told Star that Steve-O — real name Stephen Glover — suffers from untreated bipolar disorder.

“Right now he’s in his extreme mania,” the family member said. “His concerned friends and family are hoping he’ll seek treatment. He doesn’t need jail, he needs therapy. We’re just really hoping that this will be the wake-up call that gets him back to himself.”

But the situation escalated over the weekend when Steve-O, 33, e-mailed suicide notes to several friends, blaming a broken romance. Eventually a woman friend and his bodyguard took him to the hospital around 2pm on Sunday. But he caused a major scene in the hospital, says one insider.

“Steve started flipping out. He told doctors he wanted to hurt himself badly. He wanted to break every bone in his body one by one.”

TV goofball and prankster Steve-O is embarking on a new career as a rapper and has challenged fellow hip-hop wannabe Kevin Federline to a rap battle to prove his talent. The former Jackass star has written a track attacking Britney Spears’ ex-husband for his new album Hard as a Rock.

He says that he wants to set up a lyrical battle with K-Fed, whose own rap career flopped after the release of his 2006 debut Playing With Fire.

Steve-O says, “I’m officially challenging K-Fed to a rap battle. It’ll be just like that scene from 8 Mile! I know that K-Fed has his ‘acting’ career and all, but if he’s a real man, he’ll step up and battle me!”

That’s too funny. Think K-Fed will respond? Or even battle with Steve-O?

“JACKASS” star Steve-O told Howard Stern on his radio show yesterday that Lindsay Lohan once took a bag of cocaine from him. The freaky comic, who laughed uncontrollably while saying he likes to inhale nitrous oxide from whipped cream cans, said Lohan took what he called the “Boog Suge” from him after she forgot her wallet in his bathroom and came back to his place to get it. There’s even proof she was there - Lohan had to sign a release while at Steve-O’s house for a DVD he was filming at the time.

From the NY Post:

Steve-O was kicked out of Miami club Mokai for urinating on the bar. Spies told Page Six the obnoxious comic showed up with a group of friends and was drinking for almost an hour. Then, well-forti fied, “he walked up to the bar, opened up, aimed and peed,” said one witness. “Right on the bar. Everyone was so disgusted and grossed out.” Security grabbed him and dragged him out with his pants still undone. Safe and dry on the other side of the club were Tom Brady, Maria Menounos, John Legend and Reggie Miller.
