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.

Johnny Knoxville revealed the most likely reason why it was his co-star, Steve-O, who “briefly” hooked up with Nicole Richie and not him: he likes to take his time during sex.

Knoxville must be between conquests at the time, or he would surely be too busy to give long quotes.
