Skater-punk Bam Margera is in a hospital today, recovering from what his mother, April, calls "severe dehydration."

April Margera told me that Bam's wife, Missy, called 911 on Sunday afternoon to report a "possible overdose." She said that Missy Margera, who was not with Margera at their West Chester home, had spoken to him by phone and that "he was kind of out of it. He had taken an Ambien to make himself go to sleep."

He also had been drinking vodka and beers, she said.

Bam Margera, who turns 30 in September, had been filming the MTV series Nitro Circus on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. "When he works, he forgets to eat and drink, and he was amped up, partying with the guys," his mother said. "He's going to have to talk with somebody about this."

Margera's hospitalization was first reported on TMZ.com.

    Ambien is for lightweights. I hear Propotol works better

    Forgets to eat and drink? Can't sleep? Amped up? Sounds like crystal meth to me!

    If this kid survives he needs to realize how good hes got it made. I never understood why these celebrities have to destroy themselves with drugs. Kid thinks he's invincible. He needs to be knocked down a few pegs. All that money made off of acting like a complete idiot wont be very useful when hes dead.
