Philip John Clapp is now free to terrorize Hollywood’s finest ladies. You may know Mr. Clapp better as Johnny Knoxville. You may know him as the co-star of The Dukes Of Hazzard or you may know him as the ball-striking, scatological madman from Jackass. Knoxville and his now-ex, Melanie Lynn Clapp, have been separated since July of 2006 [1]. He’s agreed to pay an undisclosed amount of child support.
Knoxville may have seen how well Dane Cook [2]and Dax Sheppard were doing for themselves lady-wise and decided to get in on the action. We wonder if he’s going to cut back on getting his junk mashed now that he’s a free man. But we’re guessing now that he doesn’t have a wife to embarrass that he’ll really be able to do some humiliating things to make idiots laugh (note: we're big fans). It’s been a pretty ugly stretch for the Jackassgang; Don Vito Margera is on 10 years of probation (for some bad stuff), Steve-O is in alcohol rehab, and Johnny is divorced and almost lost a nut recently. The good news is that Knoxville may be the new pitchman for Microsoft [3]. That’s a good idea. He could thump Mac’s Justin Long. Too bad that Jessica Simpson is on the Tony Romo express [4], she’d probably be impressed by a computer guy.
