Steve-O from 'Jackass' has written a book. In ink, no less! Check out the cover.

Great memoirs often come from people who have experienced a lot of pain in their lives, which is why I expect Steve-O’s to be nothing less than brilliant. I’m hoping for something on the level of Mary Karr or Jeannette Walls, but with more exploding port-o-potties and fart machines. The book, which hits stores on June 7, is going to be called Professional Idiot and “recounts Steve-O’s glory days, drug addiction, and his path of recovery and redemption—all while maintaining the bravado and humor for which he is famous.” While I’m pretty sure that actually isn’t what he’s famous for, you have to at least be somewhat interested in the story of a man who can describe being kicked in the testicles repeatedly as “glory days.”

    why would i read a book by this loser?

  • @allie

    Must be hard being unable to read allie

  • Gregory

    So little attention to books on this site and some Jackass book gets highlighted. Sad.

    • Janice

      It’s whoever buys the space. With EW, the articles are ALL just paid ads. The EW writers are impotent shills.

      Actually the book should be fantastic. I know him personally and have read bits and pieces of it and it really is great. Stephen has had a pretty crazy life outside of what we see on film. I think if you actually read it you will be very surprised.

  • avells

    I wonder if he talks about his days on DWTS

  • JB

    Stevos great. Looking forward to it.

    I love steve, he has come a long way…(sort of) on dancing with the stars he acted like a grown up. I wish him well, and hope that his joints don’t ache too much in his old age!!!

    SteveO is the looser or EW for allowing to write a review for this “book”. Lame and sad. And how come he can get published, this trash, when other talented people struggle along…

  • John

    It couldn’t be any worse than the book Snooki wrote!

  • Ray

    CA: If you ever experienced a drug or alcohol problem you would appreciate where Steve has been and the fact he recovered from it.

  • Lara

  • Tania

  • Glory

    I can’t wait to read this book, Steve-o has cleaned up and has come so far from where he was just 10 years ago, he is a completely different person now he is now supporting charities because of his nephew who has down syndrome and also because he wants to help others it’s amazing how far this MAN has come

  • Glory

    For anyone who thinks this book is just another celebrity memoir, you do not know Steve-o at all, if you personally have been through a struggle with drugs and alcohol and had dark times you could probably find a lot of things in this book to be relatable, and Steve-o’s life has been so crazy that this book simply cannot be NOT entertaining
