'Jackass' star avoids prison

'Jackass' star Stephen Glover, known as Steve-O, pled guilty to cocaine possession in a deal that will allow him to avoid time behind bars.

The 33-year-old stuntman and TV personality will instead be required to complete a two-year rehabilitation program, and according to his attorney, Barry Gerald Sands, he is already in rehab.

Sands added that Steve-O is "doing great" and has been sober for 85 days.

"He is a model individual. He has changed completely. He is a sober man," Sands said.

If Steve-O completes the rehabilitation program, the case against him will be dismissed. He returns to court for his next hearing July 8, but in the mean time will remain in rehab.

The performer was arrested March 3 for vandalism and drug possession after he had an altercation with a neighbor of his Hollywood home. He was later admitted to a hospital for psychiatric treatment. In a blog post, Steve-O said it was not until his co-star Johnny Knoxville "forced" him to seek medical help that he decided to check into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to deal with his addictions.

Johnny Knoxville divorced

Johnny Knoxville's divorce has been finalised.

The 'Jackass' star and Melanie Lynn Clapp had their marriage ended at Los Angeles County Superior Court over the weekend.

Knoxville must cover his family's health and medical expenses but spousal support and the custody of their 11-year-old daughter Madison are still to be decided.

Johnny - real name Philip John Clapp - and Melanie married in May 1995, before separating in July 2006.

Johnny filed for divorce in July 2007, citing irreconcilable differences.

In the legal papers, it was revealed he was seeking joint legal and physical custody of Madison, whose name he has tattooed across his chest. He also offered to pay an unspecified sum of child support.

Johnny - who recently nearly lost his testicles when a stunt for 'Jackass' went wrong - denied he dated Jessica Simpson while they filmed 2005 movie 'The Dukes of Hazzard'.

But he did admit he is often propositioned by his female admirers.

He said: "Some girls come up to me and say, 'Can I ask you a question? Are you looking for a little p***y tonight?' It's weird. Most of the time they come up and say hello but other times you get the extreme version of that."
