Earlier this week, we covered the report from Star Magazine about a possible Jessica Simpson tell-all autobiography. Allegedly, Jessica could be dishing the dirt on all of her boyfriends and hook-ups. At the time, we heard a little about what Jessica could possibly say about Tony Romo, John Mayer and her brief hook-ups with Jude Law and Dane Cook. I wondered if Johnny Knoxville and Adam Levine were included in this little tabloid story, and they are!

The new issue of Star has information on Knoxville, Levine and… wait for it… Bam Margera. On Johnny Knoxville: “She and Johnny hung out together a lot during the movie. Johnny was the strangest guy…. He believed in space aliens and talked to his muscles, encouraging them to grow. He also liked to be spanked and give spankings!” Dude… I’m so sorry I asked. On Bam Margera: “They drank a lot together, and Jessica will recount a number of wild times.” Christ. Does Jessica even remember enough of her “relationship” with Bam to write about it? On Adam Levine (lead singer of Maroon 5): “[He was] incredibly sweet…They used to stay together at the Chateau Marmont together, drinking and laughing. But Adam couldn’t handle the attention that came with dating Jessica.” Haha, Adam Levine couldn’t “handle” Jessica. That’s hilarious. As for Tony Romo? Well, it seems Star has a hot tip about Romo and a full-length mirror:

“Tony liked Jessica to dress up as a cheerleader but with garter belts and stockings and high heels,” says the source. “He also liked bringing food into lovemaking, like in the movie 9 ½ Weeks. He would feed her grapes and strawberries in bed.”

“[Tony] always wanted her to tell him how manly he was,” said a source.

But both Tony and Jessica liked to party hard – and for Jessica, all that drinking packed on the pounds. So insiders say she’ll dish about how self-conscious the excess weight made her feel.

“Tony is extremely vain,” says another source. “I’m sure Jess will spill about how he’d sometimes stand in front of the mirror, analyzing his naked body. Eventually, Jess became extremely sensitive about her own ballooning figure. She thinks that was the beginning of the end.”

Again with the neverending debate about exactly how and why Tony Romo dumped poor Jessica. I’ve never been a fan of explaining their split on Jessica’s yo-yo weight, probably because I didn’t really think she gained that much. She put on an extra 10 or 15 pounds for a few months, and then lost it. It wasn’t the end of the world, and she was by no means “fat”.

Now Fox News Pop Tarts has another explanation – Jessica Simpson is a big lush, and Tony couldn’t handle her “out of control” drinking and behavior. Also: when Jessica got hammered, she “embarrassed” Tony in front of his friends:

Romantic relations between Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo appear to be absolutely done and dusted, but according to insiders, the surprise break-up was largely a result of peer pressure from Romo’s pals and Jess’s love of adult beverages.

“Jessica would get really drunk and obnoxious, it was out of control. She would be sprawled everywhere with he head on his lap and the look on Tony’s face said it all,” an insider told Tarts. “He was so embarrassed in front of all the guys and his teammates were really harsh on him over it. Breaking up was a really hard decision for Tony to make.”

We’re also told that the Dallas Cowboy really did love the pop princess and “fought for her” with his skeptical friends, but in the end, it got to a point where it just didn’t make sense for him to stay in the relationship.

But in Simpson’s defense, a friend from her camp told Tarts that she doesn’t drink too much, and that there were numerous issues going on between them before Romo said his goodbyes.

“She was devastated and it did come as a shock, however,” added the source.

While I’ll buy that Jessica gets “loud and obnoxious” when drunk, I don’t really think Jessica has a problem. Of course, she looked utterly wasted at Ken Paves’ party last week, but I kind of think that was an isolated incident. I wouldn’t mind getting drunk with Jessica, actually. I bet she’s a pretty fun drunk. You know alcohol would make her say even dumber, crazier things.

Jackass star Johnny Knoxville hasn’t made headlines in a while. According to IMDB he has one film coming out next year, a movie based on a graphic novel called Hawaiian Dick. Other than that he’s not really in demand. When I first heard about this incident I thought it might be a publicity stunt as it seems to have come at a convenient time for him. TMZ reports that Knoxville had a grenade in his hand luggage at LAX airport but was somehow forgiven by security and allowed to board his flight. As if that would happen for anyone but a celebrity:

UPDATE: We’ve learned the “grenade” found in Knoxville’s bag was the real deal — but had no explosives. In other words, it was not a toy.

Only a jackass brings a grenade to an airport — and cops say that’s exactly what Johnny Knoxville did today.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Knoxville was detained this morning at LAX after security found a fake grenade in his carry-on bag. He was in terminal 4 (American Airlines) when a screener saw something suspicious.

Knoxville was detained, cited and released. We’re told the citation was for carrying a “prohibited item” into an airport.

But check this — Knoxville made his flight.

Knoxville explains the incident on his blog. He says he didn’t bring the grenade on purpose and didn’t even know it was there. It was a prop for a show that was put there by an assistant who packed his luggage:

A few days ago, I was filming some commercials for this show we are doing for MTV called Nitro Circus, so I took a bunch of silly props in my carry-on bag to the shoot. Well, when the shoot was over, the wardrobe girl packed my luggage so I could go home and, unbeknownst to me, she packed a FAKE hand grenade (a prop grenade that I’d taken to the shoot) in the front zipper of my luggage. Needless to say, when I was packing to go out of town this morning with my girlfriend and daughter, I didn’t see the FAKE grenade in my luggage.

Ah f*#% was I bummed when I realized what had happened… The cops did their job and verified that it wasn’t real. Also, they were cool as they could be to me, considering the situation, and it is no ones fault but my own. I should have checked my goddamn luggage through and through, but I didn’t and now we have this incident. From what I hear, all the tabloids are saying it was a real grenade, but that’s bullshit. They just said that to make a story out of it, because if it was real I never would have been allowed to board my flight to Miami an hour later. Anyway, it was a mistake, and I just landed at the Miami airport. Damn.

That explains why he was allowed on the flight anyway, which sounds like the right thing for the TSA people to have done. How would they have responded to that same scenario with a non-celebrity, though? Like if someone said “Oh my buddy put that toy grenade there, I’m so surprised!” You can’t even bring a bottle of water on the plane now.

Johnny Knoxville showed his catheter on the Jimmy Kimmel show and described the stunt that nearly cost him his balls. He was filming a tribute to Evil Knevil and was trying to backflip a motorcycle. Even though he was warned ahead of time not to let go of the bike, he did and the thing came down hard between his legs, the handlebar even breaking off into his crotch. He said he felt like he was peeing after the accident, but it was blood instead. Luckily there was a waiting ambulance there.

Given some of the stunts these guys pull I’m surprised that nothing worse has happened to them. I can’t really tolerate this show, but I happened to watch some of the Jackass movie on TV and Steve O was hanging on a rope over a crocodile pit with some raw meat stuffed into his underwear. The guy was laughing maniacally and he didn’t seem like he was all there. Johnny Knoxville, on the other hand, is oddly attractive to me. He told Kimmel that he got shit from his girlfriend after this stunt, and that he’s “much more scared of her than I am that motorcycle or the ramp.”

Thanks to Seriously? OMG! WTF? for the photo, and video below. I hope that’s just a bunch of gauze that Knoxville is holding in that picture, but somehow I doubt it.

Johnny Knoxville and his wife, Melanie, have separated after nearly 12 years of marriage. They have a daughter, Madison, 10. Johnny Knoxville was married? Am I the only one who thought this clown was single? Who would put up with that guy for so long?

Knoxville’s not going the regular separation route. This fall he moved with his girlfriend, a former waitress, two doors down from his wife and daughter. It looks like his estranged wife will put up with quite a lot:

Johnny, 35, and his new girlfriend, a former waitress at NYC’s Mercer Hotel, have moved just a couple of doors away from his estranged wife, Melanie Cates, and their 10-year-old daughter, Madison! “They’ve been living together since the fall and are staying near his wife’s home,” an insider reveals. “They’re really in love.”

In December, 2005, when the Dukes of Hazzard movie had been out to critical acclaim for several months and Knoxville’s affair with Jessica Simpson was old news, he told Parade Magazine “The secret of staying married 10 years to the same woman is Melanie. She’s just a good girl.”

When that interview was conducted, Knoxville lived in Hollywood. He’s probably still there and that’s where he lives a couple houses down from his ex. I was picturing them as a big happy faimily in a NY City apartment building, where they wouldn’t even have to go outside to visit one another and could just walk down the hall.
