Custody arrangements for his daughter need to be worked out

Body

Johnny Knoxville is officially a single man.

The Jackass star, 37, has finalized his divorce from wife, Melanie Lynn Clapp, according to legal papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Though he must cover his family’s health and medical expenses, several issues — including spousal and child support, as well custody of their 11-year-old daughter, Madison — still need to be worked out, TMZ.com reports.

Knoxville and Lynn married in May 1995 but separated in July 2006.

In July 2007, Knoxville — who dismissed rumors that he had a fling with Jessica Simpson while shooting 2005’s The Dukes of Hazzard — filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

"It's gotten so bad there's nothing left of me," he blogs

In a new blog post, Steve-O confirms a report that he is being hospitalized in a psych ward.

Under the title "You should all know I am in the looney bin," the Jackass star, 30, writes:

"They call it 'code 5150,' that means 'psycho,' legally, f----n bat-s--t, certifiably.

"I'm outta my mind, believe-you-me. How'd I get this way? How can this be? It's gotten so bad there's nothing left of me."

He adds that pals, including Johnny Knoxville, "came to my home" and physically "forced me into the hospital."

Steve-O appears under the influence in a new new YouTube video. It was posted days after TMZ.com reported that he is being hospitalized at a mental health unit of L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

News broke yesterday that Steve-O — who once dated Nicole Richie — has been charged with felony possession of cocaine.

The charge stems from a March 3 arrest for investigation of vandalism and possession of a controlled substance at his Hollywood home.

Jackass Knoxville Redefines "Homo"

Johnny Knoxville wandered around Japan in a Panda suit, taunted alligators and was blamed for countless kids hurting themselves in copy-cat stunts. But somehow the man is making headlines for wearing a T-shirt.

Knoxville, 36, wore a controversial t-shirt on April 23 while at a birthday lunch with his agent at L.A.’s Mr. Chow. (The agent is pictured on the shirt.)

So we asked that genteel jackass what sartorial statement he meant to make. Is he worried people will think he's homophobic?

Johnny Knoxville tells Usmagazine.com exclusively, “Homophobic? Because I use the word "homo" on a shirt?! Puh-lease!... In the group I run with 'homo' is a term of endearment. It's a compliment. I mean you've seen Jackass: The hot pants, the oiled young men, the rainbows. Me calling somebody homo is like Weeman calling someone short.”

Thanks, Johnny. Expect an angry call from Emmanuel Lewis soon.

Johnny Knoxville Separates From Wife

Johnny Knoxville's rep confirms to Usmagazine.com that the Jackass star is calling it quits on his marriage. "They have been separated," Amanda Silverman, Knoxville's rep, tells Us.

Knoxville, 35, and his wife Melanie have been married since 1995, but rumors of infidelity reportedly have hurt the relationship. While filming The Dukes of Hazzard, there were wide-spread rumors that he was having an affair with co-star Jessica Simpson, although both parties have denied it.

According to one source, the blame should be put all on Knoxville. "How do you live knowing that your husband leads a separate life... and is sleeping with other women all the time? She deserves every penny if she is going to divorce him," the source told Us.

As for if they will get divorced, an insider tells Us, "I really don't know. They have been separated for a while. They just grew apart."

The couple has one daughter, Madison, 10.

Warner Bros./ZUMA Press

Actor Johnny Knoxville has done some jackass things in his day, but partoking in some fun with Willie Nelson before meeting the press is definitely up there.

"I'm not a weed person, but when Willie Nelson passes you a joint, you don't say no," the Jackass star tells Playboy, in an excerpt obtained by the New York Daily News' Rush & Molly.

"That's like Angie Dickinson passing you her [sexual organ] and you saying, 'No, no, no.'" The country legend gave him a toke that left Knoxville feeling like "I was on f-king acid. ... And I had to do interviews that day. I called him later to say, 'Thanks a lot, Willie. I was on f--king Mars for six hours.' Nothing could have made him any happier."
