Knoxville and his wife Melanie - who are parents to 13 year old daughter Madison - married in 1995 and filed for divorce in 2007.

Melanie will also receive half of Knoxville's residual payments from the Jackass franchise and his 2005 Dukes of Hazzard movie, according to People.com.

:rolleyes: I thought she wanted to be left alone to grieve, this is certainly controversial enough for her to be in the media spotlight again. And it is totally wrong :angry: :wall: Go away and grow up Jackiey
How old is she?! She's having another child for completely the wrong reasons. She'd be better off concentrating on bringing up her two grandchildren than having a baby at her age.
It is reported that she is 51 years old, far too old to have another child :thumbsdow:

Jude Law’s spokesperson has released the following statement exclusively.
“Jude Law can confirm that, following a relationship last year, he has been advised that he is to be the father of a child due in the fall of this year. Mr. Law is no longer in a relationship with the individual concerned but he intends to be a fully supportive part of the child’s life. This is an entirely private matter and no other statements will be made.”
Law, 36, is currently single and has three children with his former wife, Sadie Frost. He will appear on Broadway in Hamlet, which opens in October, and will star opposite Robert Downey Jr. in the movie Sherlock Holmes, opening Dec. 25.
Movie hunk Jason Statham has hooked up a new romance with The Hills beauty Kristin Cavallari, according to reports.
The pair was spotted "snuggling" during a recent night out in Hollywood, and friends claim sparks are flying.
A source tells Us Weekly, "Jason thinks Kristin is really hot. It's not serious; it's a hook-up situation. But it will definitely happen again."
Transporter star Statham, 36, was last kinked with Alex Zosman.
Jude Law's fourth child is due on his son Rafferty's 13th birthday, according to new reports.
The mother of the unborn baby has been identified as model Samantha Burke, who has listed her due date on an online gift registry as 6 October - the same day his eldest child, with actress Sadie Frost, turns 13.
Reports suggest the British actor and Burke had a fling at the beginning of 2009 when Law was shooting Sherlock Holmes in New York.
The pretty brunette is said to be seven months pregnant.
An online baby gift registry, obtained by TMZ.com, also suggests Burke is expecting a baby girl she plans to name Sophia.
Law's publicist has already denied online reports the sister of Law's Sherlock Holmes co-star Rachel McAdams is the mother of the actor's unborn child.
A statement from Burke's attorney reads, "Ms. Burke can confirm that she did in fact have a relationship with Mr. Law and that she has informed Mr. Law that she is expecting his child later this fall. Since informing Mr. Law of the pregnancy, he has been nothing but responsive and supportive of Ms. Burke and the pregnancy."
Only 5% of babies are born on their due date so I wouldn't be too concerned.
The son of Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas was arrested on a drug charge at a New York City hotel, according to The Associated Press.

Cameron Douglas, who acted alongside his father and grandfather, Kirk Douglas, in 2003's It Runs in the Family, was also arrested in 2007 for cocaine possession in California.
Why am I NOT surprised?

Paquin won a Golden Globe award earlier this year for her portrayal of Sookie Stackhouse, a Southern belle in love with vampire Bill Compton (Moyer) on the HBO dark comedy.

Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler fell off the stage during a performance at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota and was airlifted to a hospital with minor injuries early Thursday.
The 61-year-old rock singer fell while dancing after the sound system failed during "Love in an Elevator," according to The Associated Press. When Tyler stopped dancing, he accidentally stepped off the stage's catwalk and fell onto some fans.
"He does a lot of dancing on the stage and he does a lot of stuff with his mike stand," said Mike Sanborn, spokesman for the Buffalo Chip Campground, which hosted the event. "He put his stand down and twirled around and stepped backwards off the stage."
Tyler, who was in town to promote his Dirico Motorcycles, got back up and was taken backstage to be examined by the venue's medical staff. He suffered minor head and neck injuries and a shoulder injury, Sanborn said.
Guitarist Joe Perry came back on stage to tell the audience that Tyler was being taken to the hospital and that the concert would not continue. Tyler was flown to Rapid City Regional Hospital.
"He was good natured about it," Sanborn said. "He was in good spirits when he got in the helicopter. He was talking and joking with the physician. It was an unfortunate end to an extraordinary evening."
According to TMZ, he's been shifting "pounds" of Crystal Meth since 2006. That's quite the dubious upgrade from being found with a syringe of liquid cocaine.
TMZ reports: "According to his federal complaint filed in New York, DEA agents claim they ran a 3-year investigation, proving the 30-year-old actor sold "multiple pounds" of crystal meth to several people - many of whom are now cooperating in the prosecution of Douglas. All three witnesses mentioned in the document have pled guilty to narcotics violations. They are cooperating in the hopes of receiving a reduced sentence. Douglas has been charged with one count of possession with the intent to distribute 500 grams or more of crystal meth and one count of possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of "Ice" - which is the purest form of meth... According to the indictment, Douglas was set up in New York after agents ran a sting operation - in which they caught Douglas accepting $15,000 in cash in exchange for a promise to deliver a half pound of crystal meth.

SOAP queen Kym Marsh has finally settled her divorce battle with former EastEnder Jack Ryder - after a bitter fight over money.
The pair were at loggerheads for months over his demands for a £1 MILLION payoff after mum-of-two Kym, 33, admitted adultery.
A source said: "Jack made it clear he wanted a substantial settlement and Kym was furious about it.
"She felt he was intent on squeezing every last penny from her."
But according to a pal, they agreed a settlement on Friday with Jack, 27, getting an undisclosed payment. The couple split in 2008 after six years. The relationship soured after Jack gave up his lucrative Enders job then struggled to get roles. But ex-Hear'Say star Kym's career took off and she now has a £100,000 deal with Corrie.
She started dating former Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas after her split from Jack.
But didn't Kym encourage Jack to quit EE all those years ago?
He deserved some kind of payout!
Why does he deserve HER money that SHE worked for?
Kym may have encouraged Jack to quit (I don't know if that's true) but he was the one who tendered his resignation. It's not Kym's fault that he's a cr*p actor who can't get employed.
How the hell does he deserve a million quid of her money? Has he contributed to he work in some way that demands financial recognition now? Somehow I doubt it.
Victoria Beckham has stepped down as the face and body of Emporio Armani's lingerie line to focus on her own fashion empire.
The former Spice Girl appears alongside her husband, soccer ace David Beckham, in the latest set of sizzling billboard ads for the brand's men's and women's underwear ranges.
But Beckham has decided not to renew her one-year contract with the top design house - choosing instead to put all her energy into her various fashion and beauty ventures, reports Wwd.com.
The stylish star has her own dVb Style denim range, a line of sunglasses and perfumes under the Intimately Beckham label, and recently launched her own dress designs.
I remember reading somewhere that she had encouraged him to quit EE after the writers and producers became fed up with them both especially after they had sold their wedding pics to a celeb magazine.
He has worked over the years but I feel that some people will think he is undeserving of a payout from her. Afterall she cheated on him and if the role was reversed people would expect him to pay her out!
I wouldn't. Affair or no affair, I fail to see how he deserves any of her money when he contributed nothing towards her earning it.
I hate women who take their other halfs to the cleaners in a divorce. Unless either party contributed to the other in the duration of the marriage (e.g. raising the children and forfeiting earnings), then they don't have an automatic right to anything.
I wouldn't want my husband's money if he cheated on me. He obviously didn't want me so why should I lay any claim to his property and money? Revenge, compensation? No thanks, I'd rather stand on my own two feet and support myself than life off a cheating spouse.
I really don't have time for either celebrity I barely can watch her scenes on Corrie and I felt he was over rated when in Eastenders.
Like every celeb marriage that is around no one ever realises what goes on behing closed doors we only see what they want us to see.
An autopsy performed on US pitchman Billy Hays has shown that cocaine use contributed to his death.
The 50-year-old 'king of infomercials' and co-host of The Discovery Channel's Pitchmen series was found dead in his Tampa, Florida home in June from a heart attack, which is still listed as the principal cause of death.
However, a post mortem performed on Mays showed that he used cocaine a few days prior to his June 28 passing, TV Guide reports.
The Hillsborough County medical examiner has released a statement saying that "cocaine use caused or contributed to the development of his heart disease, and thereby contributed to his death".
Toxicology reports also showed traces of prescription drugs hydrocodone, oxycodone and tramadol, as well as anti-anxiety drugs alprazolam and diazepam.
Mays, who was scheduled to have hip replacement surgery on June 29, was best known for selling the cleaning products OxiClean and Orange Glo during his late-night infomercials.
TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher is expecting her second baby with lover Paul Sampson.
The former Gladiators host, who is engaged to wed Sampson next year, said that she feels incredibly lucky to have fallen pregnant again so easily.
"I can't believe how quickly it happened," the 33-year-old told Hello! "You're always reading about how you have to try at the right time, but [we] were very relaxed and didn't put pressure on ourselves."
Gallacher and the rugby union international, who have been in a relationship for almost a decade, already have 2-year-old Oscar.
The former Saturday Night Takeaway star added that she would love a daughter, but claimed that she will wait until the birth to discover the sex.
Oprah Winfrey and her production company Harpo Inc have been sued for more than one trillion dollars by a poet after he claimed that she passed off his work as her own.
In a suit filed at the District of Columbia Court on July 31, Damon Lloyd Goffe accuses the talkshow host of copying his book A Tome of Poetry in a work she published on the internet titled Pieces of my Soul.
The writer claimed that Winfrey confessed to "seizing original works of authorship" in 2008. The website no longer exists, but Goffe alleges that he is now owed $1.2 trillion (£0.7 trillion) because the media mogul sold 650 million copies of the piece for $20 (£12) each.
Actor Eddie Cibrian has spoken out about the "hurtful" stories following his alleged offscreen romance with country star/actress Leann Rimes, confessing no one's perfect.
Cibrian, who recently split from his wife Brandi Glanville - in the wake of the scandal, refuses to confirm or deny reports he and Rimes were intimate while they were playing onscreen lovers in TV movie Northern Lights, but admits the fall-out from the story has wrecked his family.
In a new interview with TV news show Entertainment Tonight, the hunky actor says, "When you reach a certain point in your career you're placed in this unfair fishbowl. Things unfortunately get magnified.
"We are all human, we are all not perfect. The fact is I love my family dearly, and I'm a great father. It just saddens me that this is hurtful and being played out publicly."
The scandal started when Cibrian and Rimes were caught kissing over dinner by a restaurant's surveillance camera and footage leaked onto the Internet.

The Oscar winner and her fiance, former I Love New York 2 contestant David Otunga, welcomed David Daniel Otunga Jr. on Monday,.
"The baby is beautiful and perfect," says Hudson's rep, Lisa Kasteler. "His parents are ecstatic."

Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane and his wife, actress Rebecca Gayheart, are the stars of a new sex tape leaked online.
The couple teamed up with former Miss Teen USA Kari Ann Peniche for a threesome - and filmed the tryst.
Gawker's Defamer.com first reported the sex tape by posting an edited version of the video on Monday.
Dane and Gayheart's lawyer Marty Singer insists he will sue anyone who publishes the "private, confidential tape," adding "from what I've seen, it's a naked tape, not a sex tape."
The footage posted on Defamer.com features the seemingly intoxicated threesome passing a camera around and dreaming up porn names for each other.

John Cleese is to pay £12.5 million in a divorce settlement to his former wife Alyce Faye Eichelberger.
The ruling by a Californian court means that he is now poorer than Eichelberger.
His fortune will reportedly fall to £10 million, after he was ordered to pay Eichelberger £8 million up front and an annual fee of £612,000 for the next seven years.
Cleese married psychotherapist Eichelberger, his third wife, in 1992.
Talking after the verdict, Cleese said, "I got off lightly. Think what I'd have to pay if she'd contributed anything."
Cleese's pal Michael Winner added that "if there ever was a case for prenuptial agreements, this is it".
"The result is extraordinary. Alyce lived in a council flat when they met," Winner added.
It's claimed that Cleese is currently writing a one man stage show entitled - My Alyce Faye Divorce Tour.
