For Johnny Knoxville, not even a cringe-worthy injury can keep him from working. The stunt maven (no stranger to pain), tore his urethra last week, just before the upcoming 24-hour Jackass "takeover" of MTV (Feb. 23 at noon to Feb. 24 at noon) — but he's still planning on showing up.While tearing that delicate human part might seem impossible, the injury happened as a result of a fall during a motorcycle flip in a tribute to Evel Kneivel with Mat Hoffman. Not long after being released from the hospital, Knoxville told TV Guide he was performing the stunt as part of the lineup for the weekend event, which kicks off the launch of Jackass' new online home, Jackassworld.com (note: profanity peppered throughout). The site, Knoxville said, will "expand Jackass so much... it's going to be pretty damn fun. We can try whatever we want. Literally, whatever idea we have, whether it's a prank, or a stunt... or a talk show." In the meantime, Knoxville promises that the weekend kickoff will ...

In a moment of total genius — or disaster — MTV is handing over the airwaves to the Jackass crew for 24 hours. From Feb. 23 at noon until noon the next day, Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and associates will be in charge of the 'net in an unhostile "takeover."While it's pretty obvious that a sleepover with the prank-happy posse is something to avoid, watching it all go down on TV is a different story. Some of the rumored stunts and games include a wiener-eating contest and night vision dodgeball, with plenty more antics in the works. — Anna Dimond

Saturday Night LiveAnother really funny episode — I'm shocked! My first thought during Jack Black's opening singalogue was that the Tenacious D. front man was missing his other half: Kyle Gass. But turns out that J.B. didn't forget his friend just because he's all famous and in that big ape movie now, K.G. just made his appearance during the spelling-bee sketch. Who knew you could even think of spelling business with more than 15 Qs? Other funny things? TV Funhouse's Christmas Eve for the Jews: The claymation piece had me laughing out loud with the line about finally seeing Fiddler with a Jewish cast. The Stuart Little "humane" mousetraps freaked me out. And the wind tunnel was especially humorous if you've ever actually been to that Sbar

Question: A while back, I saw a preview for a movie with Johnny Knoxville in which he's confessing to a priest and his confessions are so bad the priest kicks him out of the church. I haven't heard about it since, but would love to know the title.
Answer: I haven't seen the trailer to which you're referring, but Johnny Knoxville has two completed movies kicking around, one awaiting a belated release and the other playing theaters on a regional basis. The Ringer, a broad comedy directed by Barry Blaustein and executive produced by Bobby and Peter Farrelly, stars Knoxville as an all-around failure who comes up with

Hey, Jackass fans! Missing MTV's asinine stunt show? This April, you can look forward to a big reunion. Well, sort of. "We're done with Jackass," Johnny Knoxville tells TV Guide Online. "We let the movie be the exclamation point on that. But I just went to Indonesia for two weeks with Steve-O and Chris Pontius to film some episodes of their MTV show, Wildboyz. It was pretty low-pressure for me."
Despite his reckless rep, Knoxville — who shares daughter Madison with his fashion-designer wife, Melanie — says he has no "dirt" to dish for us. Or does he? "I have 142 illegitimate children on the way," he cracks. "They're all due next month, so I guess my wife will find out then. Eight months ago was a really big time for me." Very funny, Johnny.
Actually, the 33-year-old is too focused on his busy acting career to get in much trouble. Next up, he co-stars in the Walking Tall remake (openi
