Celebrity Justice
Johnny Knoxville, Single Jackass

Posted Mar 24th 2008 1:03PM by TMZ Staff

Johnny Knoxville is officially on the market. His divorce has been signed, sealed and delivered.

Knoxville, who was married to wife Melanie Lynn for 11 years, is officially unhitched, according to legal papers obtained by TMZ and filed in L.A. Superior Court.

Even though the divorce is a done deal, there are still outstanding issues of community property, spousal and child support and child custody that must be worked out. The documents say until the outstanding issues are dealt with, Knoxville must cover the family with health and medical insurance.

The docs say in the event Johnny dies, he'll hold Melanie harmless from any legal fallout -- translated, he does a lot of stupid stunts and it's risky. It's probably standard language in these divorces but it means something special when you star in "Jackass."

Knoxville, whose legal name is Philip John Clapp, filed for divorce last July.

4. Clapp for the Wolfman. No wonder he has a stage name, can you imagine growing up as Phil Clapp? Now I see why he became a Jackass, he had to to keep from getting his ass kicked with a name like that in the South.

Now if he could only help his friend, Steve O, who is doing the 5150 Brittney thing...another guy Clapp enabled to get weird and strung out.

Hope Mrs. Clapp takes this Jackass to the Cleaners and Martinizes his ass like a Jackass would like it.

9. I met johnny at the hamburger hamlet in hollywood just before he was to go on jimmy kimmel. someone wanted to pickup johnny's tab, but he refused. signed a few autograph's and left. a few hours later, he was on kimmel, and you could tell he was hammered. lonely life, poor self esteem, attention whore? sorry to hear this, he seems like an okay guy.
