Charismatic Jackass star Johnny Knoxville is desperate to write a novel
- but consistently finds his literary plans thwarted by his love of
alcohol.
The 34-year-old confesses a fondness for whiskey but often regrets its
crippling effect on his creativity.
He says, "I would like to go back to writing, but whiskey always gets
in the way.
"I ruined myself on Tennessee whiskey by the time I was 15. Whiskey
usually brings out the best or worst in me."
And The Dukes Of Hazzard star is similarly anxious about the damage a
writing career could do to his Hollywood reputation, according to US
gossip site The Scoop.
He says, "I've started writing a novel, but when you hear about an
actor writing a novel, you want to shoot yourself."

Johnny Knoxville's Dads Venereal Disease Prank
December 23, 2005, 7:00:52
KNOXVILLE'S PRANKSTER FATHER
THE DUKES OF HAZZARD star JOHNNY KNOXVILLE isn't the only prankster in his
family - his father once tricked his pals into believing they had contracted
venereal diseases.
Knoxville, who famously displayed his love of zany antics on US TV show
JACKASS, admits his father has a joker history of his own.
He tells Maxim magazine, "My dad is definitely off his rocker, but in the
best way. Like, one time I was asleep on the couch, and I felt something in
my mouth. As I woke up, there was Dad zipping up his pants and holding a
microwaved hot dog.
"Another time he sent my friends letters from the 'Health Department' saying
they'd contracted a venereal disease, and they'd have to come in and list
their last 10 partners. The funny thing was... people actually did it."

This year's fall and winter movie season looks fantastic.
That doesn't mean it's going to be particularly good, just that there
are so many ... fantasies.
There are children's fantasies like "Zathura" and "The Chronicles of
Narnia"; gravity-defying fantasies like "The Legend of Zorro" and "Aeon
Flux"; the animated fantasies "Chicken Little," "Tim Burton's Corpse
Bride" and "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-rabbit"; sci-fi
adventures "Serenity," "Doom" and "A Sound of Thunder"; the fourth
Harry Potter movie, and Peter Jackson's remake of the ultimate
fantasy-adventure, "King Kong."
We begin our preview at the end of August, but the string of fantasies
gets an early start on Friday with Terry Gilliam's galloping "The
Brothers Grimm," which has more references to classic fairy tale
characters than all the other coming fantasies combined.
Some analysts may attribute the rash of fantasy films to the escapism
that comes with war, and that may play a role. But it seems just as
likely that fantasy reigns because the ability to create incredible
images today makes the genre irresistible to storytellers.
The trailers for all of the above movies are linked on the Web sites
www.apple.com/trailers and www.imdb.com. Take a look and you'll agree:
They look fantastic.
Fall/winter is also Oscar season, and there are plenty of potential
contenders. The high-profile films with awards ambitions include Steven
Spielberg's "Munich," a drama based on the search for the planners of
the assault on Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games; Rob
Marshall's "Memoirs of a Geisha," based on Arthur Golden's acclaimed
novel about a woman who spends her life in the high art of pleasing,
and Terrence Malick's "The New World," an epic account of the first
Virginia colony and the meeting of John Smith and Pocahontas.
Recent Oscar-winning director Roman Polanski returns with a new version
of Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist," and Marc Forster'>Marc Forster ("Finding
Neverland") turns to drama with "Stay," the story of a psychiatrist's
efforts to stop a patient from carrying out a suicide threat.
Two Broadway musicals make the transition to the screen. Susan Stroman,
who directed "The Producers" on stage, handles the film adaptation as
well, while Chris Columbus directs "Rent."
A few laughs
Comedies abound. Among them are: "Rumor Has It," starring Jennifer
Aniston as a female version of "The Graduate's" Benjamin Braddock; "The
Man," a buddy film featuring unlikely chemistry between Samuel L.
Jackson and Eugene Levy; "The Weather Man," starring Nicolas Cage'>Nicolas Cage'>Nicolas Cage'>Nicolas Cage as a
TV weather guy who wears his bad forecasts on his shoulders, and a pair
of old-fashioned family films about families that are too big - "Yours,
Mine, and Ours" and "Cheaper by the Dozen 2."
The following schedule may have changed by the time the ink was dry on
this newspaper. But the great majority of films listed are locked in to
those dates.

his son. Can her preteen daughter unite them, or will she become just
another wedge in their long-simmering enmity? More important, will
Lopez benefit from a boost in her lukewarm screen career, or has the

spirit of a comatose doctor who fall in love while sharing an
apartment. Once they're over their, uh, dimensional differences, the
race is on to keep her body from being taken off life support.
Proof Last time director John Madden and Gwyneth Paltrow worked
together, she landed herself an Oscar. Though more erudite and intimate
than "Shakespeare in Love," Madden's adaptation of David Auburn's
Pulitzer Prize-winning play might just catch the eyes of Academy's
voters, too. Reprising a role she has already tackled on the London
stage, Paltrow plays an overwhelmed young woman rapidly losing her grip
after the death of her father (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant math
professor. Hovering around the edges are her concerned support system:
brainy admirer Jake Gyllenhaal'>Jake Gyllenhaal and coldly practical sister Hope Davis.
The Woods Psychological horror film about the students of an all-girl
boarding school who begin to go missing in the surrounding woods.
Patricia Clarkson is the headmistress and Agnes Bruckner'>Agnes Bruckner is the new
student caught up in the mystery.
Separate Lies It's been a while since we were faced with the sight of
middle-class Brits keeping a stiff upper lip while suppressing
dangerous secrets. Fortunately, Emily Watson and Tom Wilkinson are
always willing to suffer stoically for our entertainment. "Gosford
Park" screenwriter Julian Fellowes makes his directorial debut, while
Watson and Wilkinson play a long-married couple who are still quite
happy together (aside from the passionate affair and possible homicide
she's hiding).
Venom Jim Gillespie ("I Know What You Did Last Summer") directs another
teens-in-trouble horror picture, this one involving voodoo in the
bayous of Louisiana. With Agnes Bruckner'>Agnes Bruckner (poor thing), Bijou Phillips.
The Libertine Johnny Depp takes on the role of notorious 17th-century
poet, derelict and debaucher John Wilmot, the Earl of Rochester and
grand embarrassment of Charles II (John Malkovich). Samantha Morton is
the actress who comes under Wilmot's shaky tutelage.
Adapted from his play by Stephen Jeffreys and directed by first-timer
Laurence Dunmore.
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride Another day, another Johnny Depp-Tim Burton
collaboration. Not that we're feeling cavalier about it: These two have
given us some of the most unusual movies in recent years. Since
Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "James and the Giant
Peach" are among them, we have high hopes for this latest stop-motion
animated fantasy, which is based on an old Russian folk tale about a
young groom (voiced by Depp) who inadvertently finds himself with two
wives (he could do worse than Helena Bonham Carter'>Helena Bonham Carter and Emily Watson).
Thumbsucker Offbeat comedy about a 17-year-old boy whose infantile
habit of sucking his thumb makes him the subject of ridicule and
isolation even in his own home. But the people trying to help him kick
the habit are even stranger. With Tilda Swinton, Vincent D'Onofrio,
Keanu Reeves, Vince Vaughn. It's the first feature directed by Mike
Mills, maker of the well-received short "Paperboys."
Everything Is Illuminated Actor Liev Schreiber makes his writing and
directing debut with his adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's darkly
comic best seller about a young American Jew who travels to Russia to
find the woman who saved his grandfather from the Nazis. With Elijah
Wood.
One Bright Shining Moment: The Forgotten Summer of George McGovern
Documentary about the 1972 presidential campaign and political
humiliation of the idealistic former South Dakota senator.
Cry Wolf A high-school prank turns lethal when classmates listed on a
joke Web site as the next victims of a serial killer start turning up
dead. With Julian Morris, Lindy Booth, Jon Bon Jovi.
Hard Goodbyes: My Father Greek drama about a lonely boy who has to rely
on his imagination when the father with whom he'd shared a passion for
outer space does not come home.
The Thing About My Folks Paul Reiser wrote this film and co-stars in it
with Peter Falk as a son and father rediscovering the bond between them
on a cross-country trip in a restored '36 Ford. Directed by Raymond De
Felitta ("Two Family House").
The Weeping Meadow The first film in a planned trilogy by Greek master
Theo Angelopoulos follows a pair of refugee children as they come of
age in the small Greek village they are brought to after the Russian
Revolution.
SEPT. 23
A History of Violence With echoes of Alfred Hitchcock's "wrong man"
theme and Sam Peckinpah's "Straw Dogs," David Cronenberg's latest film
stars Viggo Mortensen as a small-town family man whose celebrated
heroism in thwarting and killing two thugs in his diner draws gangsters
to town. The one with the deformed face (Ed Harris) claims he knew the
hero years before and he has come for some payback. Despite his
denials, Mortensen's character ends up having to fight violence with
violence. With Maria Bello, William Hurt.
Oliver Twist If ever there were a story that suited Roman Polanski's
dark sensibilities, it's Charles Dickens' classic saga of an orphan
whose fate falls and rises at the mercy of others. The screenplay was
written by Ronald Harwood, Polanski's partner on their Oscar-winning
"Pianist," so it is always possible that this artistically acclaimed
pair aims to entertain adults and youngsters alike, while
simultaneously approaching the Academy with a respectful request: "May
we have some more?" With Barney Clark as Oliver, Ben Kingsley'>Ben Kingsley as Fagin
and Jamie Foreman as Bill Sykes.
Flightplan In her first starring role in three years, Jodie Foster
plays a recently widowed woman whose 6-year-old daughter disappears in
the middle of a trans-continental flight from Berlin to New York. Since
no one else on the plane remembers seeing the girl, they question
whether she was there only in her mother's mind.
Daltry Calhoun Johnny Knoxville returns to his hometown as a roustabout
and would-be golf magnate whose ex-wife (Elizabeth Banks) throws a
twist into his life by dropping their 14-year-old daughter at his door.
Roll Bounce Nick Cannon, Bow Wow and Mike Epps star for "The Best Man"
director Malcolm D. Lee in this comedy-drama about a group of hip-hop
roller skaters preparing for a competition on the other side of 1970s
Chicago.
Dear Wendy Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg, two of the founders of
the Danish film collective Dogme 95, team up as writer (von Trier) and
director (Vinterberg) of this parable about America's contradictory gun
culture. It follows a group of teenage outcasts in a fictional mining
town who form a secret club known as "The Dandies." Their purpose -
to love and admire guns but never use them on anybody - soon goes out
the window.
Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D Tom Hanks produced and
narrates this 3-D IMAX film that re-creates for the audience what the
12 astronauts who have walked on the moon experienced.
Into the Fire Drama about a troubled NYPD harbor cop who freezes during
a rescue attempt of a drowning woman and tries to make peace with his
conscience and the victim's identical twin. With Sean Patrick Flanery
and Melina Kanakaredes from TV's "Providence."
Dorian Blues Coming-out story about a young man who, on the cusp of

it) Memphis music producer whose comfy existence is shaken when his
young Russian trophy wife (Dina Korzun) falls in love with his
estranged son.
SEPT. 30
Capote The estimable Philip Seymour Hoffman plays the late novelist and
social gadfly Truman Capote. It's not a conventional biopic, but an
account of the writer's research for "In Cold Blood," his classic
"nonfiction novel" about the murders of a Kansas farm family and the
subsequent trials and executions of their killers. Catherine Keener is
Harper Lee, Capote's young associate (and future author of "To Kill a
Mockingbird") and Clifton Collins Jr. plays the killer Perry Smith,
with whom Capote developed a strong relationship. Bennett Miller is the
first-time director.
The Greatest Game Ever Played Shia LaBeouf ("Holes") stars for director
Bill Paxton in the dramatization of 20-year-old American amateur golfer
Francis Ouimet's legendary victory at the 1913 U.S. Open in Brookline,
Mass. Stephen Dillane plays Harry Vardon, the cocky British champion
who was humbled before the golfing world.

water for this thriller about a group of buff young divers who find a
fortune in the cargo bay of a sunken airplane and make the mistake of

Knoxville: 'Jackass too much fun to quit'
15/08/2005 - 12:57:35
He may be a movie star now, but Johnny Knoxville isn't ready to give up his
Jackass persona, because he's having too much fun.
Knoxville's new movie The Dukes Of Hazzard sits atop the US box office chart
and a slew of movie offers are set to head his way.
But the 34-year-old is determined to continue putting his life and health in
danger - even though he knows he shouldn't.
Knoxville, who recently rejoined Jackass pals Steve-O and Chris Pontius on
their show Wild Boyz for tours of Russia and Argentina, says, "I should
quit, but man we have so much fun."

Jackass learns to act
12/08/2005 - 11:19:21
Jackass star Johnny Knoxville fears his poor acting skills marred a film
about the passing of his hero Gram Parsons, so has had acting lessons to
save his film career.
The funnyman's admits his poor onscreen skills sabotaged Grand Theft
Parsons, the 2003 tribute to the revered musician Parsons, but he refuses to
repeat the blunder.
He says: "About five or six films ago I had a performance that was like:
'God, that's just not too good'. It was Grand Theft Parsons - such a
disappointment because I love Gram Parsons and all our hearts were in the
right place making it.
"I just feel that my performance was not what it should be. So, I got an
acting coach and I think things are getting a little better. I don't suck
nearly as bad."

JESSICA SIMPSON's relationship with JOHNNY KNOXVILLE came under
scrutiny again last week (03AUG05), when the former JACKASS star was
surprised with an on-air polygraph test during a radio interview.
Simpson and Knoxville, who are both happily married to other people,
have long been fighting off rumours that they embarked on a romance
while shooting their new movie THE DUKES OF HAZZARD.
And Knoxville was stunned when he arrived for an interview with US
shock jock HOWARD STERN and was asked to take a lie detector test,
where the questions included if he had sex with Simpson, if they'd ever
tongue-kissed and if he ever thought about the singer while "pleasuring
himself".
After answering no to all questions, the polygraph indicated that he
did not have sex with Simpson, but that he did kiss her and pictured
her while pleasuring himself.
Knoxville says, "I don't put any faith in that test."
His representative adds, "The lie detector test was all in good fun.
Johnny thought it was hilarious." (RGS/US/GES)

Aug. 8, 2005 8:15 AM
NEW YORK - Johnny Knoxville moons the cast of "Dukes of Hazzard" in the
outtakes at the end of the film, and that wasn't the only time he did that.
Knoxville says "I can't help myself," adding that his "pants fall down all
the time."
Knoxville jokes that his "zipper weighs like 200 pounds and keeps coming
down."
He also says he'd like to be a "Jackass" again. Knoxville used to say he'd
never do those crazy stunts again, but now he admits he's missing the guys
on the show.
Knoxville says "he's no longer saying never." His 9-year-old daughter will

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The South rose again at the box office in North
America as "The Dukes of Hazzard" raced to the top in its first weekend
of release.
The big-screen adaptation of the 1980s TV show about two good' ol boys,
their Dodge Charger and a buxom cousin, sold an estimated $30.6 million
worth of tickets in its first three days, distributor Warner Bros.
Pictures said on Sunday.
The film, which cost $53 million to make, opened at the upper end of
forecasts. The studio's distribution president, Dan Fellman, said he
would have been happy with a $25 million opening.
Last weekend's champion, "Wedding Crashers," slipped to No. 2 with
$16.5 million, followed by "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" with
$10.6 million, both in their third weekends. Their respective totals
rose to $144.1 million and $169 million.
All three films came from Time Warner Inc., whose Warner Bros. unit
handled "Dukes" and "Charlie," while "Wedding Crashers" came from its
New Line Cinema arm.
The media giant also shone at No. 5 with "Must Love Dogs" (Warner
Bros., $7.4 million) and at No. 6 with the French-made documentary
"March of the Penguins" (Warner Independent Pictures, $7.1 million).
The latter film, one of the most acclaimed releases in a generally
woeful year at the box office, jumped four places in its first weekend
of wide release. Released seven weeks ago, the film tracks the valiant
courtship, mating and child-rearing rituals of Antarctic penguins. It
has earned $26.4 million to date.
"Dukes of Hazzard" stars Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville --
hardly marquee names -- alongside tabloid staple Jessica Simpson, a
middling pop singer noted for conveying a ditzy image in a reality TV
show. Willie Nelson and Burt Reynolds co-star. The studio said about
two-thirds of the audience was aged under 25, indicating that older
moviegoers who grew up with the show were not strongly inclined to
revisit Hazzard County.
Before Warner Bros. could release "Dukes of Hazzard," it agreed to pay
$17.5 million in an out-of-court settlement to a group of people who
held rights to the TV show, and whose litigation threatened to hold up
the film's release. A delay would have been harmful to the studio since
it was already committed to a major advertising campaign.
Filling out the top five, the Walt Disney Co. superhero saga "Sky
High," starring Disney stalwart Kurt Russell, slipped one place to No.
4 with $9.1 million in its second weekend.
Two recent bombs tumbled down the charts. The military thriller
"Stealth" slid three places to No. 7 with $5.8 million, taking the
10-day haul for the picture to $24.5 million. The cloning thriller "The
Island" was also down three places, to No. 10, with $3.1 million, and a
three-week haul of $30.9 million. Each cost about $120 million to make.
"Stealth" was released by Columbia Pictures, a unit of Sony Corp. ,
"The Island" was a co-production between closely held domestic
distributor DreamWorks SKG Inc. and Warner Bros., which is handling the
foreign release.

Pretty as a Daisy
By BRUCE KIRKLAND -- Toronto Sun
NEW YORK -- Jessica Simpson, no longer a fresh newlywed but still in the
prime of her physical charms and at the peak of celebrity, bounces into a
Manhattan hotel room.
Men's jaws drop, women either grin or grimace: Simpson is that absurdly
noticeable, that damned striking.
Simpson, 25, is wearing a scoop-necked, satin sun dress decorated with
magenta flowers and green leaves. The perky little designer number looks one
size too small, as though it were painted on, emphasizing every nuance of
her petite yet curvaceous body. The overflowing bodice reminds one of two
overgrown exotic fish trying to leap out of a small fishbowl.
Naturally, the issue of sex appeal is put on the table immediately. After
all, Simpson is making her movie debut as Daisy Duke in the big-screen
version of the good ole boys TV series, The Dukes Of Hazzard. And Daisy --
strutting through the Hazzard County redneck bar in her shortie shorts and
surrounded by slack-jawed yokels who like fast cars and faster women -- is
all about the tease.
"Whoa!" Simpson says with a smile when the question about Daisy's sex appeal
is thrown at her by the Sun. "Really?"
This initial response makes you shudder. You wonder if she is just an empty
vessel, a pretty thing with no brain who cannot complete a sentence.
Wrong -- turns out she can think, can play the media game, can talk in whole
paragraphs when the occasion demands it. She will not win any awards from
most-modern feminists and it is a stretch to imagine her spouting chaos
theory or indulging in quantum physics despite an IQ that reportedly ranges
into the Mensa-level 160s, but she holds her own on music, her new movie
career and the pressures of celebrity as the femme side of the MTV series
Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica.
"She definitely knows how to make a man melt," Simpson finally says of
Daisy, whose primary goal in The Dukes Of Hazzard is to get her cousins Luke
and Bo Duke -- played by Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott -- out of
trouble by manipulating other men with her wily charms.
On the TV series, Catherine Bach did her thing, usually in cheek-hugging
shorts that eventually bore her character's name. In director Jay
Chandrasekhar's movie, Simpson's Daisy does that by shaking a head of blond
hair and wriggling about in either the shorts or a pink bikini that recalls
the red one Bach wore in the first episode of the TV show.
"I went straight to the gym," Simpson says of her preparation, once she beat
out the likes of fellow singer Britney Spears for the role. "I had to look
good in the bikini."
Simpson knew what she was getting into. She watched the re-runs of the TV
show and she vigorously campaigned to land the part as her big-screen debut.
"I always looked up to Daisy,' says Simpson, "and I always thought she was
an amazing, strong, smart woman. And when I found out they were making the
movie, it was a dream role for me because I thought: 'What a great
transition in my career now -- starting an acting career.' I want people to
know that I'm a strong woman, so I went out and I went after this role as
hard I could -- and I got it."
Yet Abilene, Tex., native Simpson is the daughter of a Baptist preacher man,
Joe Simpson. As much power as she has to melt men herself, Simpson says she
does not flaunt it (and made virginity famous by keeping hers until her
October 26, 2002, wedding night to fellow pop star Nick Lachey). "I'm
definitely shy," she says. "I don't even walk around in my bathing suit at
the beach. So I was definitely acting, for me to drop the coat (in a
tease-seduction scene with Michael Weston as Deputy Enos) and be in a bikini
to try to get my cousins out of trouble by using my body. That was acting."
In one scene, working opposite Joe Don Baker as the shady governor of
Georgia, Simpson is left speechless when he flubs the take and confesses he
cannot remember his lines because he's looking at her "titties" close up.
"That was pretty shocking!" Simpson says. Yet she allowed Chandrasekhar to
include the outtake as a bonus clip with the end credits. "I mean, I had to
approve it. Jay called me up and said: 'Hey, can I put this in there?' (I
said), 'Yeah, I don't care.' "
The funny-odd thing about Simpson's effect on men is that, like many
bombshells, Simpson did not have supreme confidence in her body. Prior to
shooting The Dukes Of Hazzard, she figured her butt was too small and too
soft to play Daisy.
"When I found out I got the role, I went straight to the gym and I hired a
trainer, a trainer who is one of my dear friends from high school. And he
came out to Baton Rouge (the Louisiana city where much of rural Georgia was
recreated for the movie) and I trained six days a week for two hours a
day -- a lot of training. Heavy cardio. And I didn't have a butt so I had to
do lots of squats. I had to do Daisy Duke proud! My butt jiggled. I wanted
it to be firm!"
Her Newlyweds husband Lachey -- they are still together despite the
incessant rumours that inevitably accompany a relationship developed on a
reality TV freak show -- showed up in Baton Rouge for six weeks, too.
On that topic -- marriage and the legacy of Newlyweds -- Simpson says she
has no issues. "Yeah, there's no regrets," she says. "I do NOT regret that
and people have accepted me as a person and a lot of my fame has come from
just who I am (as a singer). I wouldn't take it back and I wouldn't be
sitting here talking to you guys if it wouldn't have happened."
While already a singer, her celebrity emerged directly from the Newlyweds
phenomenon, which has been replenished with follow-up shows such as Nick &
Jessica's Family Christmas and Nick & Jessica On Tour. In music, Simpson
already has several albums out, including Sweet Kisses and In This Skin.
Another album, tentatively and unwisely entitled And The Band Played On, is
due in November.
"It is definitely different from the last Jessica Simpson records," she
says. "This is the first one I've gotten to executive produce because I've
basically said: 'I don't have to make a record. I want to do it because I
want to make the kind of music I want to make and you've got to give me the
reins!' "
With music becoming a secondary consideration, Simpson is focusing on a
movie career. "Yes," she says about whetting her appetite on The Dukes Of
Hazzard, "I was shocked at how relaxing shooting a movie was. It was so fun
and, on the set, everybody was so carefree and so many relationships and
friendships were created. And, when we left, it was like leaving summer
camp.
"I was so sad when we left Baton Rouge, so I definitely want to get into
doing more movies. And I'm more into the romantic comedies and comedies. I'm
not really into the deep drama roles. I'm getting some really, really great
s and I think my next project will be with the producer of The Dukes
Of Hazzard, Bill Gerber, and it's called Major Movie Star and it's kind of
like, not a re-make, but a lot like Private Benjamin."
Not surprisingly, Gerber has kind words for Simpson. He loves her sex appeal
but says he cast her because of other qualities, too. "She understands that
part of Daisy Duke's appeal is that she is very sexy but not slutty. And
that was kind of one of the things that made me want to hire Jessica. She's
really decent but super-sexy and that's an important quality for Daisy."
And for Simpson's future acting career -- no actress can prosper just on sex
appeal, Gerber says.
"Clearly not. It backfires on you if you just play the sex card the whole
time. But I don't think she ever would. I think she genuinely does the work
to be an actress and she's a decent Christian girl. That's who she is and,
when she talks about her love life in People, she really stands for those
(values) despite what people say in the press. Her dad is a preacher. She
believes in that wholeheartedly. I just don't see her going the easy route
of just going for the sex."

Film: The Dukes of Hazzard
Sun Jul 31, 2005 1:54 PM ET
The Dukes of Hazzard
By Michael Rechtshaffen
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - A bigger-louder-dumber take on that good
ol' CBS hillbilly hit, the movie version of "The Dukes of Hazzard" starts
off on the wrong foot and keeps heading, appropriately, south.
Let's be honest: The hourlong series, which ran for 6-1/2 seasons (and was
even able to bounce right back after its stars sat out the 1982-83 season in
a contract dispute), would never be mistaken for high, or even middling,
art.
But nowhere to be found here is any of the goofy charm of the original and
its indefensible ability to keep the testosterone humming thanks, generally,
to the revved-up General Lee and, more specifically to Daisy Duke and her,
uh, Daisy Dukes.
Instead, there are a ton of dead-end car chases and remarkably few laughs,
meaning this would-be action comedy quickly sputters out on both counts.
Aside from the unknown quantity represented by those who have been aching to
see if Johnny Knoxville and Jessica Simpson'>Jessica Simpson have what it takes to become
big-screen sensations, this Warner Bros. Pictures release likely will stall
upon arrival.
Called upon to fill the boots of Tom Wopat and John Schneider as
hell-raisin' cousins Luke and Bo Duke, Knoxville and Seann William Scott
spend an awful lot of time riding around in their trusty orange Dodge
Charger, but John O'Brien's doesn't give them any real place to go.
That goes double for the rest of the characters, including Burt Reynolds as
a decidedly trimmed down Boss Hogg (played by Sorrell Booke in the series)
and Willie Nelson, subbing for Denver Pyle as joke-crackin' Uncle Jesse.
After having proven himself with the offbeat cult comedies "Super Troopers"
and "Club Dread," both featuring fellow members of his Broken Lizard sketch
troupe, director Jay Chandrasekhar might have seemed like a good choice to
put a fresh spin on the material. But he seems lost without the rest of his
team (who manage to pop up in assorted cameos), demonstrating a tin ear for
the purported comedy and a lead foot for the daredevil sequences that
wouldn't have cut it on an installment of "Jackass."
Recruited to fill out that item of apparel made famous by the underrated
Catherine Bach, meanwhile, Jessica Simpson'>Jessica Simpson and her attire make equally brief
appearances. More of her actual performance might turn up on DVD, but the
bits that make it into the theatrical version play like outtakes from her
more entertaining "These Boots Are Made for Walkin' " video.
Speaking of outtakes, those that show up in the end credits prove to be a
lot funnier and feature cooler smash-ups than anything in the main event ...
Pulling double duty, Nelson also covers the show's memorable theme song,
"Good Ol' Boys," which was made famous by his old buddy, the late Waylon
Jennings. But like everything else about this wayward production, it's a
pale imitation of the original.

Knoxville Spared Jessica From Sexual Antics On 'Dukes' Set
Seann William Scott says Nick Lachey wouldn't have appreciated his co-star's
X-rated high jinks.
Think you've heard all the stories about hanky-panky during the filming of
"The Dukes of Hazzard"? That you're already well-versed in rumors about just
who Johnny Knoxville took advantage of and where?
Well, it turns out the stories circulating were about the wrong couple.
According to co-star Seann William Scott, Knoxville's kissing cousin wasn't
Jessica Simpson - it was him. Kind of.
"Johnny Knoxville took advantage of me," Scott revealed.
Before you jump General Lee-style to any conclusions, let him explain. Since
Scott plays Bo Duke, he's responsible for many of the driving stunts, while
Knoxville, as his cousin Luke, gets to ride shotgun. So during those scenes,
Knoxville came up with a way to both pass the time and rattle his co-star
with a tried-and-true method from his "Jackass" days.
"I'm trying to drive the car, trying to pull stunts, and he'd go, 'Hey
Seann, look over here,' " Scott said. "And he pulls his balls out in front
of me. Like, seriously. A lot. All the time. What are you supposed to do
there?"
The flashing didn't stop in the car. Knoxville soon escalated to walk-bys,
where he'd walk with his in front of him. He'd call out "Seann!" and
then wave his away to reveal his exposed testicles, "just to be
crazy," Scott said. "You know, I thought before this movie, it was like, I
don't consider myself to be a guy who's playing with a full deck. It's not
like I'm 'Full Metal Jacket' crazy, but I definitely have my moments. But
Johnny Knoxville is on a whole other planet of crazy."
Scott didn't dare flash back, he said, "because I knew I'd be the one to be
caught, and there would be lawsuits. ... There's a rumor that we flashed
Jessica, but we never did. Now I wish we would have, but maybe Nick [Lachey]
wouldn't have dug that. Bad idea."
As much as Scott thought he was suffering alone, some of the moments were
enjoyed by other members of the cast and crew. One is even included in a
blooper reel that runs during the credits, which also features several
stunts gone awry (perhaps due to Knoxville's, um, distractions?). But no
matter how dangerous it all looks, both Knoxville and Scott swear that
everything was under control, even a particularly hair-raising stunt in
which Knoxville rides a metal safe that's being dragged at top speed behind
a tow truck.
"It's not a real 'Jackass' kind of stunt," Knoxville said. "On 'Jackass,' we
just had to fail, and with this, we had to succeed. But we had it down
pretty good. There was a little bit of chafing in the harness, but luckily,
there's talcum. Plus we were wearing condoms at all times."
"Yes, we practiced safe stunts," Scott promised.
"Bar fights, stunt driving - it's like a little boy's dream," Knoxville
said.

Knoxville Begs Tabloids To Stop Writing Up Simpson Romance Rumors
Movie star Johnny Knoxville is urging the media to stop writing stories
about a rumored romance between him and Dukes Of Hazzard co-star Jessica
Simpson because they're upsetting his family. The Jackass star has laughed
off the rumors up until now but he admits the persistence of them is
beginning to ruin his home life. Knoxville says, "It's an unfortunate thing
because I have a wife and a nine-year-old and that stuff is hard on the
family. Luckily, my wife and I have a dialogue and I said, 'Look, people are
making these stories up and putting them in the papers.' She understands but
of course she doesn't like it. I didn't like it and I'm sure Jessica and her
husband Nick Lachey didn't like it." The actor insists he can't do anything
but plead with editors to stop writing the stories - because he accepts such
coverage comes with being famous. He adds, "It's part of the business and
you try not to give it too much attention. It seems to give it more
attention by fighting it, so it seems like a waste of time." And he admits
he himself is a huge fan of the tabloids: "There seems to be more magazines
coming into circulation and I always buy them."

Knoxville Urges Press To Stop Simpson Affair Reports
Johnny Knoxville has begged the press to stop reporting he had an affair
with his Dukes Of Hazzard co-star Jessica Simpson - because it's upsetting
their families. The former Jackass funnyman was rumored to have romanced the
reality TV beauty on the set of the movie remake - despite the fact he's
married to Melanie Clapp and Simpson is married to former boyband star, Nick
Lachey. Knoxville - real name Phillip Clapp - says he's used to hurtful
gossip, but his loved ones are finding it difficult to deal with. He says,
"Jessica and I are just friends. She's a great girl and all that, but all
the rumors. I just take it in my stride, but it's kind of hurtful to the
families that are involved."

'Dukes' release back on track
After a federal court judge last week issued an injunction to stop the
release of "The Dukes of Hazzard" movie, Warner Brothers and a producer have
settled their differences and all systems appear to be go.
According to Variety, Robert B. Clark sought the injunction because, he
claimed, Warner Brothers had purchased the television rights to his
"Moonrunners" but had never secured movie rights. The 1980s hit show "The
Dukes of Hazzard" was based on Clark's "Moonrunners."
The judge's order put the release of the movie version, starring Jessica
Simpson, Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott, on hold, but the two
sides reached an agreement and an undisclosed sum was paid to Clark. The
movie is currently set for its original release date of Aug. 5.

Burt Reynolds is devastated after breaking up with a Beverly Hills
heiress who he has dated for two years. Burt, 69, and Kate Edelman
Johnson, 65, had been living together in a trial marriage - but now
the pair have called it quits after she kicked him out.
A friend of Kate's said: "Burt is broken-hearted because he thought he
had finally found the right woman. Kate not only offered Burt a place
to live, but also gave him dignity and stability.
"It's definitely over, but both are such high profile people they're
trying to keep it under wraps. "Burt and Kate knew one another for
years before their romance heated up and they're trying to remain
friends after ending it.
"But I think Kate - who's a respected philanthropist - got fed up
with Burt's unpredictable temper tantrums and finally asked him to move
out of her home."
The split comes as Burt rides a comeback with the success of The
Longest Yard, which co-stars Adam Sandler and Chris Rock, and The Dukes
of Hazzard, which stars Johnny Knoxville and Jessica Simpson and opens
in theaters this summer.
Wealthy Kate is the widow of Warner Communications mogul Dean Johnson.
The friend said: "Some friends wonder if Burt's foul humor at The
Longest Yard's L.A. premiere - when he made news by slapping a critic
- was due to his anxiety over the bust-up."
Reynolds - who faced bankruptcy several years ago after a CBS
lawsuit, some bad investments and his divorce from Loni Anderson -
has recently seen his fortunes rise again with the release of four of
his eight new films in 2005.
Said the friend: "Age hasn't hurt Burt's career in the least. His
career is hotter now than ever."
