As outrageous as it may sound, we don’t care when Paris Hilton says: ‘I’ve only slept with a couple of men’… especially not on the very same day a crippled jetliner made a hell of a landing on the Hudson River instead of crashing into the Upper West Side.
When we do give a fuck about celebrity news is when they involve bomb-sniffing dogs (!) and tabloids blantantly tweaking reality in order to get a good headline.
i.e. why I’m posting this Johnny Knoxville story today.
Mr. Jackass himself has been keeping it low-key with the paps since the release of Jackass 2, and let’s be honest, it’s been a good thing. We’d rather have him work on hilarious introductory video segments for all 14 International sites of Jackassworld.com (Welcome to Italy!) – and potentially run into him in the gym in LA. 😉
But when it comes to promoting a new show, Johnny goes full on, obviously.
‘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.’
Oops. That sucks. So much for having somebody else pack your gear. At this point, my question is why in the world would the media think it’s cool or even OK to accuse Knoxville of a misdemeanor.
