JOHNNY KNOXVILLE: THIS IS WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
Johnny Knoxville is looking like a million bucks in his monogramed sweater in the UK promoting his movie Jackass Forever because it is EARNING millions of bucks. Yes, the crude comedy is a hit for Paramount and pulled in 23.5 million in ticket sales the first weekend (with a 10 million dollar budget) – including medical treatments for the performers. Johnny did it again – this is the fourth installment in the Jackass franchise that started 12 years ago. The film was heavily promoted on TikTok and 68% of the audience so far is male – mostly ages 18-34. Johnny has 3 kids now and after suffering numerous injuries, says he plans to retire from appearing in future Jackass movies. His costars and friends insist “We’ve heard this before – he won’t be able to RESIST doing stunts.”

You never know who you’ll run into at The Spotlight bar. It’s famous for being the oldest gay dive-bar in Hollywood and tends to attract hustlers, assorted street trade, transgenders, and the people who appreciate them. (Brad Pitt tried to buy this bar awhile back and change it into something hipper, but we’re happy to say it didn’t work out.) The place very entertaining so it shouldn’t be surprising that Johnny Knoxville turned up. On a recent visit he was sharing a booth with two girls described as looking like ‘hillbillies.” They had bleached hair and black roots, tiny miniskirts, giant platform shoes , and one wore a “cheap looking” rabbit fur jacket. Good looking Johnny caused quite a buzz in the place – he downed several beers and was friendly to everyone.
