Johnny Knoxville

Jackass Johnny Knoxville has listed his three-bedroom Mediterranean in the Hollywood Hills for $1.7 million, according to Big Time. The listing for the property reads:

Turn-key Hollywoodland Mediterranean Villa, Circa 1924, complete w/views, lush grassy yard/gardens & large pool! Enter this st-to-st property through gated courtyard setting, to frml entry w/views across Great Rm w/vaulted ceiling & arches. Large circular din rm, redone kit w/honed marble counters & ss appliances. Huge mstr w/fp, lux ‘Ann Sacks’ style bath w/steam shower. Media rm, 2nd bd + office/3rd bd each w/ensuite redone baths. Beautifully redone w/character & daylight.

Knoxville and his wife of 12 years are in the middle of a divorce, so that's likely the reason for the sale. The house is truly a gem, with great bones, 1920s character (much like Gwen Stefani's old digs), privacy, and lush landscaping. I cannot imagine why else he would put it on the market. Check out the gallery below to see what I mean.

An indie/cult classic in the making, perhaps?
I'm so excited that Parker Posey is continuing to get roles and that John Waters (the mastermind behind the original Hairspray, along with Pink Flamingos, Serial Mom and others) is still hard at work creating bizarre indie films. And Johnny Knoxville is. . . also in this news item. The three are teaming up for Waters' next project, a Christmas film titled Fruitcake.

Mmm. . . Delicious fruitcake.
According to Hollywood Reporter, "The plot is officially under wraps but is said to center on the title character, a boy named after his favorite dessert. He runs away from home during the holidays after he and his parents are caught shoplifting meat, then meets up with a runaway girl raised by two gay men and searching for her birth mother."

Shoplifting meat?
Huh, for a plot that is "officially under wraps," that's a pretty solid plot description. Elsewhere I've seen the movie described as a "children's film," so I'll be extremely curious to see exactly how this Fruitcake comes out.

Actor Perry Caravello is suing Johnny Knoxville, Jimmy Kimmel, and Adam Carolla claiming he's owed around $10.5 million for his role in Windy City Heat. In this plum role, he willingly placed his penis in a mousetrap and suffered great pain. (You don't say!) Maybe this guy really wasn't paid for this, but something tells me that anyone who's willing to put his penis in a mousetrap probably didn't read the fine print of his contract...

While I am not a huge fan of Johnny Knoxville, the Jackass, he's cute and he seems to be expanding beyond his self inflicted painful ways. In fact, Johnny's next film, Killshot, is executive produced by Quentin Tarantino (not to be confused with Kill Bill). Anyway, that's a major step up for Knoxville in the movie world. The film also stars the beautiful Diane Lane as a woman on the run from two hit men after she witnesses a murder; Johnny plays an FBI agent who tries to protect her. Who would've thought that the man who once clamped a mini alligator on his nipple for fun on the big screen could someday be seen as a serious actor? I guess only time will tell on that front.

Last night there was a lot of action at the MTV Europe Awards. The best and worst of the arrivals include a glowing Rihanna and Johnny Knoxville looking yummy (even though I hate the whole Jacka** thing). As for worst dressed, Juliette Lewis never seems to fail us. She has probably won this award more than any other actress turned retro rock star. As for Snoop, well he manages to smile and do his thang despite recently being charged with felony weapons possession.
