Johnny Knoxville Is Legally Single

Originally posted 03/24/2008 03:45PM

Jackass star Johnny Knoxville is legally single after nearly 13 years of marriage, court documents show.

Knoxville (real name: Philip John Clapp) filed for divorce from Melanie Lynn Clapp on July 3, citing irreconcilable differences.

The former couple have one daughter together, Madison Tatiana Clapp, 12.

Although their martial status ended last Thursday, their finances, custody arrangements and child support have yet to be settled. In his divorce filing, Knoxville requested joint legal and physical custody of their daughter.

Knoxville, 37, is best known for MTV's Jackass, as well as a starring role in The Dukes of Hazzard.

Knoxville and his wife married in May 1995 and separated in July 2006.

Talk about suffering for your, er, art.

Johnny Knoxville, the force behind the cringe-inducing, don't-do-this-at-home program Jackass, is recovering from a painful injury suffered in a motorcycle stunt taped for a 24-hour marathon special for MTV.

"I decided I could back-flip a motorcycle," Knoxville, 36, tells PEOPLE. "I guess I should have decided if I could ride a motorcycle beforehand, because I can't. The bike goes about 15 feet in the air, comes down and breaks off the handlebar on my crotch."

Johnny Knoxville is making some out-of-work actors wish they'd skipped drama school and just dumped a Porta Potti on their heads. After all, the former Jackass is now a bona fide movie star, thanks to his lead role in The Dukes of Hazzard. And despite persistent gossip linking him to his Dukes costar Jessica Simpson, the Knoxville, Tenn., native (born Philip John Clapp) is a married father: He and wife Melanie have a daughter, Madison, 9. Knoxville, 34, talked recently about getting dramatic, his nightmarish Daisy Duke experience and those darn Jessica rumors.

Daily Insider for April 6, 2004

Originally posted 04/05/2004 5:39PM

April 6, 2004 BLOODY GOOD FUN One thing Vivica A. Fox doesn't have to worry about these days is being type-cast. The actress, 39, plays Anne Hathaway's fairy godmother in Ella Enchanted (opening Friday) – and then a week later appears briefly in Quentin Tarantino's violent action thriller Kill Bill, Vol. 2. "I was very fortunate," Fox tells Daily Insider about her Ella Enchanted role. "Originally this role was written for a 40-year-old white woman, and they said, 'We wanted to change things up.' They wanted to make it sassy, so they came and got Vivica, who you know will bring a little bit of sass." As for her experience on the Kill Bill set, let's just say it was ... different. "Gosh, I had no idea that we were going to be so bloody," she says. "Quentin kept saying, 'More blood. Spritz her!' By the end of every day I looked like black Carrie, from Carrie the movie. I just was covered in spritz and Vaseline and blood."
