Bam Margera, the former star of Jackass, pled guilty to two counts of disorderly conduct charges Wednesday over an altercation at his home near Philadelphia.

The plea was made just before his trial was to start. He will spend six months on probation on the charges and will be subject to random drug testing.

Margera, 44, was charged with assaulting his brother and making threats to other family members. The incidents took place during a two-week visit last year.

At a hearing last year, Margera told the judge he was getting drug and alcohol treatment.

Jess Margera called his brother “a good dude when he’s not messed up.” He added that his brother had been awake for days while home, then had a fight with his brother. Jess Margera suffered a ruptured eardrum, while Margera’s girlfriend called police when he kicked in her bedroom door, the brother testified.

When Mel Brooks feature filmmaking debut "The Producers" hit theaters in 1968, it was both a critical/commercial smash and a bit of a scandal. Emboldened in part by the increasing permissiveness of the counterculture comedy era, Brooks pushed the outside of the envelope with a ribald sense of humor he couldn't indulge as a writer for NBC's "Your Show of Shows" and "Caesar's Hour" and outright shredded it by making light of the Third Reich with the film's fictional musical "Springtime for Hitler." Soon after the film's release, he was confronted in an elevator by a woman who told him "The Producers" was vulgar. Brooks fired back, "Lady, it rose below vulgarity."

This, I believe, is true of "Jackass." Created by Jeff Tremaine, Spike Jonze and Johnny Knoxville, this showcase for a gang of lovable skateboard-culture knuckleheads who subject themselves and each other to a series of physically/mentally...

Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk is developing an animated children’s television series called Skatebirds. Here are the details.

Legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk has teamed up with Montreal’s Laughing Dragon Studios to develop Skatebirds, an animated TV series aimed at kids aged six to 11. The show will, according to Deadline, “revolve around a group of young skateboard enthusiasts, who just happen to be birds, who flock together to support their hometown and show the world that when they put their feathers together, they can do anything they set their minds to”.

Episodes of Skatebirds will be 11 minutes with expansion into shorter-form formats for platforms such as TikTok and YouTube also planned.

Hawk said of the series “I’m excited to partner up with Laughing Dragon Studios for this unique series. Skateboarding unites communities, gets kids active and builds a sense of self-confidence while providing opportunities that can be limitless. Keep...

Bam Margera may be moving out of his jackass phase, posting videos this week that showed he still has chops on the skateboard. At 44 and with far too many years of substance abuse to his name, Margera may not move as quickly as he once did, but it is awesome to see he can still work the deck.

Bam Margera posted two videos on Instagram this week, continuing a steady run of clips that have given fans promising updates on his health, both physically and mentally. And his followers have been extremely supportive, saying the videos remind them of Margera’s better days. Check out Margera’s moves below:

A staple of MTV’s Jackass, Bam Margera stood out in a stable of dudes that would do anything – and we do mean anything – for a laugh or to gross people out.

Bam Margera is engaged to Dannii Marie!

The 44-year-old Jackass alum popped the question after dating for six months, Us Weekly confirmed.

“We’re just a really good team,” he said to the outlet on Wednesday (December 20) after revealing he proposed in October.

“I never had structure before. I always woke up not knowing what to do with the day … I would just look across the street, see an Irish pub and be like, ‘That looks like fun.’”

He said Dannii helped him after she entered his life in June and helped him get sober two months later.

“Now I wake up, I walk the dogs, I stretch, I go to the gym, I go skateboarding. Everything’s a structured fun schedule. And we do it together, and it’s just a perfect thing. She’s everything I’ve ever asked for — I couldn’t ask for anything more.

Hi, I'm (not) Johnny Knoxville, and welcome to (an article about) "Jackass"!

Somehow, over 20 years after the boundary-pushing reality stunt comedy series that launched Knoxville's career debuted on that dusty relic known as MTV, "Jackass" is still going. And not just the franchise; Knoxville and much of his original crew have continued to actively throw themselves into harm's way to entertain the masses. In fact, "Jackass Forever" emerged as one of the saviors of the 2022 box office, keeping the art of the R-rated guffawfest alive in typical topsy-turvy "Jackass" fashion. It's not just creaky Gen-Xers and Millennials like myself; even today's youths agree, the dudes rock.

With Knoxville and his boys now in their 40s and 50s, though, it begs the question: Exactly how much longer can they keep poking death and severe physical injury in the eye, and walk away laughing? At this stage, the "Jackass" crew seems to...

The Jackass brand has been all over the place since the late 90s, with the fourth entry even coming to theaters last year. And one of the standouts is always Steve O. The terrible things he’s willing to put his body through are often the stuff of legend. And he’s managed to create himself a nice little place on the internet where he interviews various celebrities. Yet his desire to do these insane stunts has never stopped and so he’s taken things into his own hands. And because this isn’t a big Hollywood production, he’s able to get away with a lot. In fact, one of my most common phrases uttered during this special was: “I can’t believe he’s doing this to himself.”

The special itself is something that only the biggest Jackass/Steve O fans will be able to endure. While Steve...

Jackass costar Bam Margera was arrested after being caught publicly intoxicated in Philadelphia.

The skateboarder was detained by authorities when an argument outside a hotel occurred resulting in disorderly conduct.

“No one was injured or attacked. Our officers got there and he was actually kind of friendly with them, and cooperative and came with us when he had to,” Lieutenant Chris Four told 6Abc Action News.

Eyewitnesses reported that before his arrest, Margera was attempting to get a hotel room around 3:15 a.m. When he arrived at the hotel, the doors were locked and used a phone to call the front desk. He was denied access because he did not make a reservation ahead of time.

Later, a friend of Margera called the hotel to ask if they knew where Margera was. The friend was told that after he was unable to get into the hotel he walked away.

Steve-o was detained by police after jumping off the Tower of London Bridge.

The Jackass stuntman performed his most recent feat in London as part of his The Bucket List Tour. Police were waiting to take him into custody after he landed in the River Thames, informing Steve-o that they were concerned his stunt may convince people to jump from the bridge to harm themselves. He was later released.

“I just got out of a cop car…” Steve-o wrote on Threads above a picture of himself holding a UK flag umbrella. “They gave me a real talking to for my ‘Mary Poppins jump’ off the Tower of London Bridge.” He continued, promoting the taping of his Bucket List special on July 14.

Former Jackass star Bam Margera turned himself into Pennsylvania State Police after the agency issued an arrest warrant for him on Monday.

Margera surrendered to authorities in Avondale and was arraigned in a district court with a bail set for $50,000, Pennsylvania State Trooper James Grothey tweeted on Thursday. The former reality star has a hearing set for May 25 in Chester County.

In a statement to NBC News, Margera’s lawyer Michael van der Veen said his client has pled not guilty. “Families have disputes all the time. Every family has disputes. This isn’t a dispute that should play out in the courts or the media,” van der Veen told the outlet.

The arrest comes after Margera allegedly fled from a fight with an unnamed individual in Pocopson Township in Pennsylvania. In a statement on Sunday, Pennsylvania State Police announced an arrest warrant had been issued for Margera in relation to the incident.

Bam Margera’s friends are concerned.

The former “Jackass” star has been struggling with addiction for years, and according to TMZ, his friends recently tried and failed to stage an intervention.

Renfield makeup artist Christien Tinsley has revealed the extreme lengths Nicolas Cage went to, to play Dracula.

In the new movie by director Chris McKay, Cage plays the vampire, while Nicholas Hoult portrays the title character, Dracula’s long-suffering assistant and henchman.

In an interview with Variety, Tinsley revealed they used 3D printing to craft Dracula’s famous fangs.

“This was the first film that I know of where we used 3D printing to do all the dentures,” Tinsley said. “We jumped in headfirst with 3D printing. We would scan Nic’s teeth and digitally sculpt them.”

Once the fake teeth were made, “We shaved Nic’s teeth down and the dentures were fitted so as not to impede on Nic’s speech and allow full freedom,” he said.

“Nic wanted to emote and annunciate properly, so it was important the veneers were thin.”

Former Jackass star Bam Margera is being sued after allegedly bursting into a neighbour’s house at night and threatening his life.

According to legal documents obtained byTMZ, Daniel Cardenas was at his home in Oceanside, California, when Margera burst into his house in the middle of the night, waking him from his sleep.

The 28-year-old claims that Margera made a death threat at him that was heard by his roommate saying words to the effect of: “You have 12 hours to leave the house or I will kill you with my brass knuckles.”

Cardenas says his roommate entered the room and asked Margera, 43, to leave. However, he allegedly returned 90 minutes later, bursting into his room again, waking Cardenas and telling him: “You have 12 seconds to leave” while putting his ring-covered fist in his face.

Priscilla Presley is setting the record straight.

Earlier this month, former “Jackass” star Bam Margera claimed that the ex-wife of the late Elvis Presley had gifted him a robe and ring that once belonged to the King of Rock.

Margera had said that he was planning on giving the robe to his dad, a huge Elvis fan, and that he’d give the ring to musician Yelawolf.

But in a statement to TMZ, Priscilla totally disputed Margera’s claim, explaining that she had come over for a visit at the invitation of her son, Navarone Garibaldi.

She said she had no idea the stunt performer would “would choose to post photos and false stories,” adding that he “came over, talked non-stop about his new ventures and personal struggles and asked for a photo with me for his father, who is a big fan.

The Jackass series debuted on MTV in 2000, quickly becoming one of the most popular television shows. It followed the antics of a group of friends as they engaged in outrageous stunts, pranks, and dangerous physical challenges. The show cast included Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-o, Chris Pontius, Wee Man, Dave England, Preston Lacy, and Ryan Dunn.

Despite parental and political worries about the show’s potential impact on younger viewers, it quickly skyrocketed in popularity. After three seasons of wading through constant censorship notes from MTV, Knoxville and his pals decided to end their run; thus began, Jackass’ successful transition to the silver screen era.

The Jackass franchise spawned several movies that were released between 2002 and 2022, in the following order:

In December, Bam Margera was hospitalized with a serious case of pneumonia. Margera later tested positive for Covid-19 and was put on a ventilator.

“I basically was pronounced dead on Elvis’ birthday, December 8. I did not know that I had gnarly Covid,” Margera told his former Jackass costar Steve-o on his podcast.

He went on to say that he had four seizures with each one lasting 10 to 20 minutes.

On the fourth, Margera bit his tongue so hard that it nearly fell off, causing him to swallow “infected blood.” This resulted in him developing a specific type of pneumonia that occurs when food or liquid is breathed into the lungs instead of being swallowed.

In Hulu’s “Reboot,” a meta comedy from “Modern Family” creator Steven Levitan, Johnny Knoxville plays edgy stand-up comedian Clay Barber. After multiple stints in jail, he gets the chance to reprise his role in a wholesome family sitcom after, yes, Hulu, decides to reboot it 20 years later.

Unlike Clay, Knoxville is “very good” at dubbing lines and is — at least according to his co-star Keegan-Michael Key — “an absolute gentleman.” But the 51-year-old actor and stuntman admits that there’s “more than a little” of himself in his character. Both were branded as bad boys and lived fast lifestyles in the public eye. Eventually, Knoxville had to cool off, and in the cleverly named “Reboot,” Clay works to turn his life around and stay sober.

With the stretch run of the MLB season upon us, Jimmy Kimmel hosted “Jackass” star Johnny Knoxville and his star pitcher of a son for a little backyard baseball this week.

As Reggie Jackson said, it’s that time of year when “they change the baseball to a golf ball, the game gets faster, speeds up, the mound closer, the walls close in, lights get brighter, the lamps hotter.”

And so it was that Knoxville took his son on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to show the world what he has.

“Johnny, we have spared no expense to create this uhh, this baseball-type situation in our alley, here,” Kimmel said during the segment for Monday night’s show.

Bam previously fled court-ordered rehab twice in Florida after expressing dissatisfaction with his accommodations. More specifically, he was allegedly unhappy at the lack of celebrity treatment he received.

The skateboarder, who became a prominent figure after appearing on Jackass and Viva La Bam, has struggled with addiction issues over the years.

Jackass.With the triumphant return of the Jackass gang, one of the few true events of theatrical moviegoing in the pandemic era, the franchise built on absurd stunts, crass hijinks, and bruised cocks has at last been seriously accepted as the masterful trash it’s always been. Although much Jackass analysis revolves around the on-screen content—from the cinematic form of bold stunts to the interpersonal dynamics and bodies of the cast—the uniquely digital nature of the series is central to its reclamation. It’s that ramshackle camcorder aesthetic, bordering on snuff compared to glossy Hollywood productions, that gives the film series part of its distinct appeal.

A staple of the comedy genre has forever been watching people get hurt, and nowhere is this more evident than in the continuing legacy of the “Jackass” franchise.

What started as a MTV reality series in which various jackasses performed increasingly stupid stunts for the benefit of the cameras before them eventually evolved into a four-film movie franchise spanning two entire decades.

“Jackass: The Movie” was released in theaters in 2002 and was intended to be the conclusion to “Jackass” – a feature film capper after a three-season run on TV. But after grossing nearly $80 million on a budget of just $5 million, “Jackass” the movie franchise was born.

Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-o, Chris Pontius and many, many more continued to make fools of themselves for the camera in three additional feature films released across the next 20 years.

This is the question that many “Jackass” stars have faced over the years, first on the beloved MTV prank show and then in the series of increasingly ridiculous (and weirdly endearing) movies. The latest “Jackass” endeavor, “Jackass Forever,” is now upon us, full of oversized contraptions, precarious situations, and serious self-injury that makes you say “ouch” aloud even if you’re in a crowded cinema. The fourth theatrical film in the franchise is once again directed by “Jackass” co-creator Jeff Tremaine, just so you know that the quality hasn’t been diluted at all.

But where can you watch Johnny Knoxville and the boys give themselves concussions? Read below to find out!

When Does “Jackass Forever” Come Out?

“Jackass Forever” opened domestically on Feb. 4, 2022.

Is “Jackass Forever” in Theaters or Streaming?

“Jackass Forever” is playing exclusively in theaters, which...

It’s a few minutes past noon on Friday, Feb. 4, and Johnny Knoxville is just coming down to the lobby of a luxury midtown New York City hotel. This is where he’s been staying during his relentless promotional tour for Jackass Forever, which has taken him everywhere from The Howard Stern Show to WWE’s The Royal Rumble. It’s the big morning for Knoxville, since the movie opened in theaters a few hours earlier; it will eventually top the weekend’s box office with a $23.5 million opening, which exceeded industry expectations.

Saturday Update: Refresh for more analysis and top 10 chart A $10M movie based on a 22 year old reality TV series is decimating a $146M production based on a fatigued disaster movie genre this weekend. More to the point, Paramount’s Jackass Forever is rallying to a $20.7M No. 1 weekend win, well ahead of Lionsgate/Centropolis’ Roland Emmerich movie Moonfall which is plummeting to $9.1M.

Such disparities is what make the movie business, and box office, endlessly intriguing. One would think both of these movies would be prime for streaming, or the theatrical day-and-date model. ViacomCBS needs to trick out their own Paramount+ streaming service, while we already knew pre-pandemic that disaster movies about falling NYC edifices and eroding West Coast shorelines weren’t working pre-pandemic.

However, despite all the noise back in the fall that Paramount was disbanding theatrical in the switch off between studio bosses Jim Gianopulos and Brian Robbins,...

Paramedics at the ready! Ten years after their last bone-crunching outing, the juvenile daredevils are at it again

The first episode of Jackass is a seminal work of the 21st century. It is titled Poo Cocktail, and features in quick succession the early stunts, pranks and goofs that make up Jackass’s enduring DNA: the show’s breakout star Johnny Knoxville flies out of a cannon into a net; another of its regulars, Bam Margera, roly-polys down a hill through a group of nonplussed golfers while a cameraman giggles from inside a nearby bush; Ehren McGhehey, the most viscerally headlockable man ever committed to film, intercepts someone’s drive-thru order and throws it for a touchdown. Jason “Wee Man” Acuña, painted orange and dressed as an Oompa Loompa, skates down Venice Beach in a way that astonishes a bystander in wraparound shades.

When Jackass first launched on MTV in October...

"Jackass Forever" is notable in several ways. First, it's allegedly the last "Jackass" we'll ever see, and one glimpse at Johnny Knoxville's salt-and-pepper hair provides plenty of reason for that. Any of these jokers can handle a fall, but as the years go on, it takes longer to get back up. Second, the movie contains two noticeable absences: Ryan Dunn, who died in 2011, and Bam Margera who, despite being removed from production after an alleged breach of his wellness contract, will still have one stunt seen in the final product. But a few new additions have been added to the roster with an eye towards...

"Jackass" is a franchise that has tested the limits the human mind and body with a litany of crazy, gross, weird, and all-out insane stunts that the whole crew took part in. But sometimes, the lifestyle of cast members would go a little overboard and into some darker territory. Such was the case for Bam Margera, who was long a fixture on the show and movie series, and is curiously absent from "Jackass Forever."

The fourth main installment in the "Jackass" movie franchise restarted filming in the fall of 2020 following a hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Margera tested positive for Adderall during filming and was not...

Like it or not, “Jackass” is back. The long-awaited fourth installment of the bone-crunching stunt movie series, “Jackass Forever” reunites Johnny Knoxville, Steve-o, Chris Pontius, Danger Ehren, Preston Lacy, and Wee Man for another go-round of mayhem and hijinks. The movie, directed by Jeff Tremaine, is set to hit theaters from Paramount Pictures February 4. Watch the latest and final trailer below.

Here’s the official synopsis, as if any “Jackass” fan really needed it: “Celebrating the joy of being back together with your best friends and a perfectly executed shot to the dingdong, the original jackass crew return for another round of hilarious, wildly absurd, and often dangerous displays of comedy with a little help from some exciting new cast. Johnny and the team push the envelope even further in ‘Jackass Forever.'”

“Jackass Forever” marks the first entry in the MTV-launched franchise in over a decade, since 2010’s “Jackass 3D.

The much-delayed latest flick in the Jackass franchise is finally set to come out in early 2022, a date Paramount Pictures wants to stick to — despite the best legal efforts of Bam Margera.

“Margera’s lawsuit is baseless,” said attorneys for the ViacomCBS-owned studio, MTV, fellow Jackasser Johnny Knoxville, director Jeff Tremaine, EP Spike Jonze and others against the wide ranging legal action ex-skateboard thrillseeker Margera filed back in August after being pink slipped from Jackass Forever.

“His claims seeking to enjoin Jackass Forever improperly targetDefendants’ protected speech and are precluded as a matter of law,” a memorandum accompanying the Jenner & Block Llp penned special motion adds. “This Court should strike them.”

“Separate and apart from its legal insufficiency, Margera’s complaint is riddled with outright lies: Margera alleges that Knoxville, Tremaine, and Jonze accosted him in a rehab facility and browbeat him into signing a draconian sobriety contract; that he was fraudulently induced and coerced into signing his talent agreement with Paramount; that Paramount hired a doctor who forced him to take a “cocktail of pills” that Paramount supposedly prescribed for him against his will; that he complied with the Wellness Program; and that he was terminated for taking Adderall, which he claims was prescribed

for him (it was not—he admitted that he bought it off the street—infra at II.D),” the paperwork filed on October 4 in Los Angeles Superior Court declares in some detail (read it here).

The Paramount and Jackass parties want a hearing in front on Judge Robert Draper the day after Halloween to argue their case in person and kick a portion of the Browne George Ross O’Brien Annaguey & Ellis represented ex-franchise star Bam’s claims to the curb.

Fired from Jackass Forever in August 2020 because of a violation of the self-described Wellness Agreement that was mutually agreed upon to keep Margera on the straight and narrow, the Jackass Og hit back with a multi-million dollar and movie shuttering 14-claim complaint a couple of months ago.

If it wasn’t such a potential big money loss kick in the gut to Paramount, Margera’s efforts to stop the movie coming out would be almost laughable, all things considered.

Based off the cringe inducing and sometimes gut churning TV series that debuted in 2000, the MTV Entertainment Studios and Dickhouse Productions’ Jackass Forever was originally supposed to come out on March 5, 2021. The pic is the fourth full-length Jackass movie and the first one since 2010’s Jackass 3D. With the Covid-19 pandemic shutting down productions and cinemas, Paramount said in April 2020 that the picture would come out on July 2, 2021. A date that was pushed to September 3, 2021 in July 2020, and then to October 22, 2021 in the spring of this year.

Last month, with Margera’s lawsuit clearly in mind as well as the Delta variant, Paramount pushed again to early next year … a date that they obviously hope is clear of both Margera’s legal moves and personal crisises.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals upped its campaign this week against Paramount’s forthcoming Jackass Forever. In a letter to Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Kimberly Abourezk and L.A. City Attorney Mike Feuer, PETA Cousel Caitlin Zittkowski wrote that the film’s trailer contains “scenes apparently involving cruelty to animals.”

She specifically calls out moments that include “Johnny Knoxville being charged by an agitated bull, a person being bitten on the nose by a captive snake, and a tarantula trapped in a plastic tube between two people’s heads.” She notes that, since the film appears to have been shot in L.A., any violations would lie within the purview of their offices. According to IMDb, production did in fact take place in L.A.

The bullfighting scene, for instance, may violate California Penal Code section 597(b), according to Zittkowski. She says that section applies to any...

Bam Margera has filed suit against multiple parties who were involved with the production of Jackass Forever. Margera declared that his termination from the upcoming film was unfair and that he was discriminated against. On Monday, Margera sued Johnny Knoxville, Paramount Pictures’ Jeff Tremaine and Spike Jonze. Jonze and Tremaine are the directors of Jackass Forever. The lawsuit […]
